I love how this is as close as we’ve ever got to a live action KOTOR. Also cmon R5, Anakins pod racer, Cobb Vanth and BOBA FETT. This is all fan service and I love it.

Like Boba crawling out of the Sarlacc Pit, this video clawed it's way from the pit of Copyright.

I love the the krayt dragon makes noises like the one obi wan made in episode 4 to scare off the tusken raiders

If I remember correctly from the Legends Kenobi novel, the Tuskens do indeed have deep connections with their Banthas but once the rider dies they either kill their bantha or release it. If that’s still true here, we can assume the first bait bantha belonged to a now dead Tusken and they’re just being practical while honoring their traditions.

Lots of KOTOR callbacks. From the interactions with the sand people, to the fight and even the loot. Really a pleasure when the people responsible for the show actually love the source material.

Poor Anakin... Even krayt dragons know the advantage of the high ground.

Dude I love your reacts because you know all of the little details about Star Wars. It’s nice seeing a react person that knows all the Star Wars lore. Keep it up man!

You guys are so knowledgeable about Star Wars but not in an obnoxious way that it makes your reactions enjoyable

RIP Boba's eyebrows! #SarlaccDigestiveJuices

The fact that you noticed R5 is a testament to your knowledge of star wars 😂

the change of aspect ratio when the krayt dragon comes out from the hole was so cool

I was kinda dissapointed that boba wasn’t back and then the ending scene got me soooooo fkn pumped

One of the art directors or something stated that the krayt dragon does have legs, but you only ever get to see the head and part of the neck in chapter 9. They basically only redesigned the head to make more sense for a burrowing creature.

Also loved that this was focused away from The Child, he is there just fine but man all the lore exploration and fleshing out. The on the ground moments with locals and especially the Tusken Raiders. I think that is a skill for any SW property, you have to be able to expand and contract the scope quickly at times but still have feel to it. The immense attention to detail with even little things, R5's scorched area from the bad motivator, the cleaning of the Bantha's teeth (They are essential to the survival of the Sand People, makes sense to keep them in good health)

i've said it before & don't mind repeating myself, but as someone who grew up in the 70s going to watch matinees every Saturday morning, this show is the single greatest recreation of AND ode to those shows that i've *ever* seen. the simplicity is genius but it's so niche AND simultaneously for everyone that it's unlike most tv we've seen in decades. it honestly feels like F&F are transporting me back to being a wide-eyed kid in a dusty cinema 40+ years ago, every minute of every chapter and to see other people (most of whom are younger & with much deeper knowledge than i) reacting in the same way (even if for slightly differing reasons) means this art is also unlike a lot of stuff we've seen in a while. bravo F&F, bravo.

Star Wars Episode IV was the first movie I remember seeing at the theatre when I was about 6 years old. I loved the classic Star Wars films, still have my collection of Kenner figures & collectable glasses from Hungry Jacks (Burger King), I even remember seeing the fan spoof 'Hardware Wars' played at the theatre back in 1978 prior to a screening of a New Hope. The Mandalorian is the first show since I was a kid that has truly reignited my love for the Star Wars universe & actually made me want to go back and rewatch or seek out all the stuff I've missed over many years. This is the way.

I loved this episode!

I really liked this first episod! I'm very glad they have made the perfect first apparition for Boba. Seeing him in the background with his weapons, without his armor and looking to Mando make us feel that he is going to be very important in the rest of the serie. Nice reaction Kyle 👍

I do like how Cobb was riding a speeder, but it was retrofitted Pod-Racer engine, that he made into a speeder. That was pretty cool. And it looked like Anakin’s pod racer.

As someone who's not as knowledgeable about Star Wars lore, you guys are the BEST in regards to reaction and then immediately knowing the history, lore, and backstory off the cuff. None of the other Star Wars channels are as off the cuff knowledgeable with it as ya'll are. SUPER COOL.

9:38 you have the option to talk to Tusken with HK-47 doing all the translation without any fighting (if you also disguise yourself at first) you can bring them moisture vaporizers that you can find in the Czerka office and then walk around in the camp and even talk to their historian (the storyteller), wich allows you to understand where The sand people came from.

There's nothing I love better than watching well-versed fans react to something that has been clear crafted by other well-versed fans for US well-versed fans.

There is something, an easter egg from A New Hope in The Marshall that nobody has mentioned yet. In A New Hope, when Luke and Obi Wan comes across the destroyed sandcrawler that belonged to the jawas who sold the droids to Owen Lars, Luke thinks that the sand people did it because there are bantha tracks and gafferi sticks everywhere but Ben says that it isn't because sand people ride in single file to disguise their numbers The sand people in this episode rode rode in single file too

I absolutely love how Boba was rumoured for months, and then to throw us off the trail, they spent the whole episode convincing us that he wasn’t gonna show up and that it was just a Cobb Vanth troll. And then boom. They found a way to still surprise us even though we all knew about it for months lmao. Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni can do no wrong these days I stg

Once again you 2 have proved to be the best reactors because you know all those facts that us lesser nerds wouldn’t. You got me to watch Clone Wars and Rebels but I’m not reading the books so THANKS!

I love how nearly everyone thought that this 6:28 is Boba Fett. And then, at the end of Episode, they bring back the Original Actor from the Prequels...

The ONLY Mandalorian reaction I really care about. Had a heart attack at the end when you know who shows up. And Bendu cuddling Baby Yoda is a mood.

Y'all caught WAY more than anybody else I've watched so far. Great reactions!! 😁

Your reaction was the first one I went to see because I KNEW you’d see amazing details I would have missed; really appreciate your extensive knowledge, makes me nerd out over Star Wars even more. Can’t wait for the rest of the season!

This episode is such a love letter to knights of the old republic. I was half expecting Calo Nord or Darth Bandon to show up after they took down that Krayt Dragon. Even though this is like 4000 years later. xD

Favorite part of this was your reaction to when it was revealed to be a Krayt Dragon. Bendu was in complete shock, and Kyle was like, "YES! I called it!".

I’ve always said I’m a student of Star Wars, but you guys are Historians. I will continue watching these reactions for the knowledge. I’m just glad I was able to call out R5 and the pod racing engine, Fett’s armor and Fett. I’m a big fan of the process of making the live action.

Din Djarin completes side quest, unlocks Boba Fett’s armor

You know so much about Star Wars it’s crazy 😂😂 never seen a RU-vidr with more knowledge on Star Wars to be honest

I love how Cobb Vanth is like that off color odd proportioned Boba fett

When Mando flew out of the Dragon's mouth, I think that is reminiscent of how Boba escaped the Sarlaac

R5-D4 had the burn mark on his head from the blown motivator.

Been looking forward to this reaction ever since seeing the episode myself. The podracer, the armor, the pearl, it’s just so good

*spits acid from top of mountain* Krayt Dragon: It’s over, Mandalorian! I have the high ground! Mando: You underestimate my power.

This episode was just pure unadulterated fan service and I am *SO HAPPY*

I only noticed like a day after i saw the episode, but did you guys noticed those binoculars that the Tuscan handed to the Mando when they were checking out the entrance?? Yeah i believe they are the ones from episode five , the gunslinger, they are exactly the same :)

With the Mando hitting the jetpack does that mean the Mandalorians know about that flaw? And I am now considering the Krayt dragon in KOTOR a baby from now on. Lol And Boba looks PISSED and I LOVE IT. Can't wait to see what he does.

Pretty sure the binoculars that they were looking through the first time you see the Krait Dragon's pit are the same binoculars that Mando traded with the Sand People last season.

I think the dragon shown in this episode could be referred to as a Great or Greater Krayt Dragon, an evolved form of the traditional Krayt Dragon, which like was mentioned looks like a giant komodo. Looking at the size of the pearl retrieved at the end, I would guess that this dragon was really old, as I think I read somewhere that the pearl grows slowly and constantly for as long as the dragon is alive. The lack of extremities/limbs might be a natural process the dragon goes through if/when it reaches a certain age/size, or it could be affected by the geography through the differing soil and earth density (like how on rocky and mountainous regions of Tatooine, where the ground is solid rock, the dragons keep their limbs and hunt above ground- while in areas that is covered in huge and deep deserts, the dragon drops the limbs and goes through the sand Tremors style). ;D Or, excluding the extra material like the games and illustrations, they could have just gone with a design that would fit with the skeleton seen in ep 4. ;D ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Its nice to watch someone who also knows their star wars

I love that Favreau has soooo much content to throw at us to entertain the casual viewer...and rage geek out the deep cut fans lol

I did not expect them to tie into the Aftermath trilogy, but I'm so glad they did! Not only was it great fan service, but it also served as a red herring to make the Boba Fett reveal an even bigger surprise.

Boba reveal was so great! I was shocked for 5 minutes after the reveal.

As a Star Wars Lore fanatic, you blew my mind with how much you caught onto. awesome video

Boba’s armour is dura-steel not beskar but that might be retconned in future episodes

Great reaction guys! You're my favorite Star Wars channel out there! I wonder why Boba Fett didn't try re-claiming his armor. Perhaps he doesn't want it anymore? Also I loved to get to see the Tusken Raiders in a more prominent roll. They took something old but made it feel like new!

Wasn't Annakin's racer blue, not red? Great react regardless. From one who's only really seen the first three films and only clips of the others, I've learned much watching reactors to this amazing show. Didn't know about any Force-sensitive droids and loved how you two ignited with the krait dragon reveal, haha.

Krayt Dragon; Abandonned Sarlacc Pit; That episode is all Boba!

I’m happy that the episode didn’t feel like it was just shoving in past references to make people nostalgic, you really got know some Star Wars lore to understand them and when you do it makes you feel really good for understanding them

I loved this episode. Season 2 started off with a bang! 🔥💥

Under Bendu it's written "Excited AF" and under Kyle Katarn it's written "Actual Mando".

How did you not grab, and put on the Boba Fett Helmet right behind you?! It was the perfect opportunity

Kyle...Bendu, I think, after watching Chapter 9, there's been more World-building in this series, than there was in the entire Sequel Trilogy. Amazing, what happens when people who love and understand the material are in charge. I want Cobb Vanth to become a recurring character. I have a feeling that, if the rumor that the series could culminate in a feature film, a la The MCU, Cobb would totally rock on THE BIG SCREEN.

It’s nice to watch a reaction video by viewers who get the small details

No more "Yoda's Species". It's "Baby Yoda's Species" now.

See, I must’ve missed the part where they mention that Mos Pelgo is Freetown while reading the aftermath novels, so I didn’t put together the dots yet, at least not until I saw the title. Then I knew immediately who it would be.

I freaked out when I saw the krayt dragon pearl

for what i understand the Tusken sacrifice one Banta to save all the others, basic you give the Krayt dragon one banta, and he stays in his home sleeping, he don't go out looking for a all that you can eat

“Why don’t we get this option in the old republic?” You do. You just need HK before you meet them

@kyle Katarn if u noticed hes wearing sand people armor and i think he was with mando when hes sitting at the campfire with them. if u look at the one on the left was more focused on mando and looked a bit buffer but could be wrong. but i do think he was always there.

I always come to the channel first for Star Wars reaction type videos! Keep up the great work man

"Why did I have to fight them?" You didn't. HK-47 speaks Tuskan and opens up the peaceful route to dealing with the Sand People in KOTOR. I'm actually amazed you didn't know that.

The prodigal son has returned at last!!

Been waiting for this reaction 🤣 Katarn squadron represent

There are 2 subspecies of Krayt Dragon the lesser Canyon Krayt Dragon's which are the ones that look like Komodo Dragon's and live in the canyon cave's and are 4 legged and then you have the Greater Krayt Dragon which are much larger and have 10 smaller legs and "swim" in the dune sea's which is what this one is and in A New Hope we see C3PO walk past the bones of a juvenile Greater Krayt Dragon.

7:36 was literally me at the same time lol, actually me during most of the episode

makes more sense to be a burrowing land baraccuda if its diet is sarlacs as they dont get out of the ground ( lol that dune tune in the end of your reaction... so funny)

Who else wishes Mando comes back and TWINKS COBB VANTH WITH TOP TIER ARMOR ^^' Also, offers to make him a proper Mandalorian, after so much bravery. Wouldn't be surprised if at the end of the season he gives him back the beskar'gam...

The distortion, background noise/music and resampling in your video is really pretty interesting. Has anyone done a statistical analysis of which of these techniques are most effective? Or maybe it changes as they tweak their algorithms?

They come together a LOT of canon and Legends stuff we already know and made Star Wars completely new and entertaining

Mandalorian: I’m friends with Tusken raiders Anakin greatly disapproves

This does mean we could see Rex this season as well because that's the benefit of clones you can use the same actor.

"That`s so dumb, i want one." Lmao!

when the Tuscans said in the episode that Cobb Vanth killed alot of their kind just go back think how many Tuscans Anakin killed

3:29 The bearded guy totally missed the joke about the fat guy in a little coat. Tommy Boy, dude.

Unless someone painted Anakin’s pod racer from Blue to Red. That’s probably not the one.

I absolutely love your reactions because you know your Star Wars lore 💕

Can't wait to see Boba's Slave 1 in action

I never even hoped Kyle Katarn himself will review it..

Just found you and subscribed I did. Wise you are. Know things others do not, you do. The Way This is.

The new Krayt Dragon design was giving me some serious Dah'ren Mohran [Monster Hunter] vibes.

In kotor you could spare the tuskins. You just need to get hk47 before you go after the star map. If he's on your team when you go out after the kryate dragon, he can understand tusken language and can interpret for you. However going this route costs you the pearl for your lightsaber.

Best reaction because you guys are authentic. Awesome.

I feel like i know alot of star wars... then i watch kyle and he just drops so much crazy sw knowledge.

Enjoy how you guys geek out at all the story nuggets that pop up true star wars fans every other reactors have no clue what's going on all they do is fanboy over baby yoda even though it isn't yoda keep it up guys.

I love going back to these

so are we not gonna talk about that baby yoda doll??? 😭💔its so cute it hurts. where did you find that little green bean?

Boba's armor is not pure beskar. It is a beskar alloy, meaning beskar mixed with another metal.

LOL who else is just watching these reactions 1 after another???

Boba with Tusken weapons/clothes 😱😱😱

Gotta note - guy on the left looks almost an exact double of Gary Sinise

I’m pretty sure I remember hearing that boba/jango’s armor is durasteel not beskar

Love reaction. Thanks for posting. Cobb Vanth was a really cool character. Love to see them eventually give Boba Fett a series. Now that they got Temuera Morrison back into Star Wars I’m hoping he has a major part in Kenobi and maybe Cassian.

The only force sensitive droid in legends?? Loool🤣🤣
