Why the Mythosaur Let Din Djarin LIVE and Didn't EAT HIM! 

Imagine the look under the Armorer's helm when Din Djarin's proof of cleansing himself in the living waters is him showing up with the Mythosaur in tow.

I thought he just fell because it was a big drop and they accidentally saw the Beast.

I think Bo is impressed with Din's dedication to his quest. She hasn't seen other Mandalorians for quite sometime that displayed the same level of commitment. Maybe he reminds her about Pre Viszla.

As BoKatan was in royalty and indulged in the 'myths', she took it for granted, mocking it. She was in the centre of it all. Din, on the other hand, is an outsider, never really a true Mandalorian (metaphorically and physically as the orbiting moon he grew up on). So as he cites the creed as he takes the dip, it is a true moment for him to finally become a Mandalorian. Ever since he was rescued by them, he has a complete dedication to them, and now he is in the heart of Mandalore, with the Mythosaur.

I think Din helped rekindle some faith in Bo. His dedication to the creed really shows in this episode. She is seeing how he believes and an omen appears when he is being redeemed

Because he'd just been woken up from a god knows how long sleep by 2 mandos falling into his house and blinding him with a flashlight, bro was like that one Limmy meme, flashbanged and confused

Not only is Din most definitely the one but it’s his whole character arc. It’s why he can hardly wield the dark saber bc he does not believe in the version of himself he is supposed to be. When he fully takes on the leader role it will become clear. And I figure grogu will help him tame the mythosaur and with the dark saber and him riding in on the mythosaur he will finally unite all the mandalorians. I’m sure it’ll all be to help defeat some big bad

I wonder if they're planning on a duo. Din STILL can't wield the Darksaber, yet Bo Katan can very effectively. Although Bo seems to have lost the faith of her people, while Din seems to represent something akin to the original mando mindset

After this scene I was in tears, it felt like Din was baptized or anointed in some way and I felt that.

I’m wondering if Bo Katan will actually hide the Mythosaur from Din. He was unconscious during the rescue. Maybe she wants to keep it to herself to attempt to tame it.

Tarre vizsla and mandalore the great ( aka mandalore the ultimate ) are two separate characters, not the same character, vizsla never ride or tame a Mythosaur.

As far as I saw after rewatching the Scene multiple Times Din Djarin was NOT pulled down by the Mythosaur. When he did walked the stepps in the Water and than get under water you could see that part of the lower steps were broken. Because it was Dark Din did not saw it and made a step were not stepps were...and because of the weight of the Armor he sank (Bo Katan needed to use her Jetpack to go up...Din removed his Jetpack before going into the Water so he could not use it to counter the weight.) Also the Mythosaur did not attack BOTH...so I would not focus so strong onto Din...

He entered the water with no weapons and was completely surrendered to his faith and the steps kept going down another 10-20 feet! So he definitely was snatched Perhaps this creature was at one point a fertilized egg left deep in the waters beneath the abyss and put there by the last Mythosaur the egg was hidden for generations waiting to hatch and choose the next Mandalor.

When Dinn was reciting those words it felt like a King Arthur style of moment, especially with her reaction despite what she said about the fairytales. Now she knows the truth, it'll definitely shape how the clans are united….. but because of the sequel trilogy i can't help but wonder what happened to this 'Unity' if the Mandalorians are a well established power in the galaxy by then. Maybe enough to challenge the Hutt's influence, that would probably be an interest to Boba Fett as well.

I just thought the beast didn’t even know there were others in his home until the light was focused on him.

I got the feeling that the Mythosaur was lying dormant and only awoke due to the disturbance, to happen to see Bo and Din ascending past him.

Din just step in a hole and sank because of the weight of his armor. The Mythosaur didn't notice him before and wake up because Bo lit her flashlight right in his eyes when ascending.

I wanna see him riding the mythosour while wielding the dark saber and wearing the original helm of mandalore now that would be peak mandalore

I like that you also believe he was dragged by the mythasaur. I don’t understand how people can think he fell that far that fast. It took Bo so long just using her rockets to get to him. And she had swim away from the shore not straight down. So if he did fall he’d have been a lot closer

Excuse me, Sir, it was not Tar Vizsla that rode the Mythosaur, but the first Taung Mandalore, Mandalore The First.

Honestly, I could see Din or Bo Katan being set up to be the Mandalor. She is able to effectively wield the Dark Saber where he is not. I think they will ultimately support each other no matter who gets the position. Both want to save their people from the constant internal strife. In addition, Grogu's ability to calm a Rancor in the Book of Boba Fett could also be important. Din may have been chosen to be the father of the next Mandalor.

It was Bo Katan who saw the mythosaur, Din was unconscious the entire time. I think that Bo is supposed to take up the mantle of the Mandatory and seeing the mythosaur was simply to help her break free of depression.

Because Din Jarin is the reincarnation of Mandalore the Ultimate. Lol

That mythosaur was unbothered, happy, moisturized, In it's own lane, focused, and flourihing.

Are we even sure it took Din down or did Din fall and with his armor it weighed him down?

1:18 BULL! They are priming Bo-Kata to be the leader. She saw the mythesour, and she saved Din Jarin with the dark saber. The dark saber was conquered by the one-eyed monster, and she beat the one-eyed monster. Plus, she can weld the dark saber. She is the leader. She is being redeemed now.

All the pieces are needed to make a whole. Awesome to see Bo'Katan return to who she really is! This is going to an amazing ride.

First we had Boba Fett riding a Rancor. NOW WE'RE GONNA GET DIN RIDING A MYTHOSAUR! WOO!

I disagree, the next Mandalor is Grogu, like the original he will be both a Mandalorian and a Jedi.

Good consensus, but you can also argue that the show is called the "Mandalorian" it can still be Grogu. He is learning the ways of the Mandalore. Favreau already said that there only maybe half way of there story to be told. Either way I'll be thrilled whoever it ends up being!

As you said "He was so gigantic in fact, he could have swallowed them like bugs" .. If the beast had dragged him down surely there would have been a slight ripple at least? :P I have a feeling Mando lost his footing here and the staircase was clearly collapsed. He did make a point of taking off his jetpack and honestly I can imagine Beskar armour would sink rather quickly. Nice to see the Mythosaur is friendly at least, or has just been awakened from a deep slumber. Only time will tell! *wink wink* :P

4:28 Mandalore the First was not a Vizla, indeed, Mandalore the First was not a human, it was a Taung; Tarre Vizla was the first weilder of the darksaber, the first Mandalorian-Jedi, thousands of years later.

He was CLEARLY pulled down at some point. If it happed from the surface of after he fell it doesn't matter. Did you see how fast he sank? At the speed of free-fall in water which is NOT physically possible in water due to extreme density. The Beskar Weight argument is nullified because: a) Bo-Katan was also wearing Beskar and EVEN HEAVIER since she was in full gear. Yet she dropped at a normal drop rate for water. b) Bo-Katan activated her jet pack and STILL could not catchup with only a 2.7 second delay. One doesn't need scuba diving experience to understand this.

I see Din and Bo becoming a team to bring the Mandalorian together again. The look she gave him when he was reciting the Creed said it all. And he fell into the living waters likely off steps or platform that had broken off during the bombing, there was no rippling around him that would indicate a huge Mythosour had moved near him. Watch the scene again.

One of the best analyses so far. 😊

The Mythosaur didn’t pull Din down, he sank because he stepped off the bottom stair and just went straight down…beskar weighs an insane amount compared to other metals in the starwars universe

Dude literally just slipped and theorists can't cope. The stairs ended suddenly and he is wearing the space equivalent of full plate.

I don't think the mythosaur pulled him down. I think he stepped off a ledge and, his beskar armor weighed him down, and he'd taken off his jet pack, so he couldn't save himself and sank to the bottom. The mythosaur looked to me as if it was observing them, and nothing more.

Heres what i think happened the mythasaur pulled din down thinking he was his old master it maybe woke up at the presence of the dark saber the reason it left him under water was because at first it thought it was someone else but once it realized it was someone else it just left din underwater kinda like it was excited then let down

The Mythasaur pulled him down to bring her in. She didn't believe, but now it's different. The Mythasaur may have spared him, but if she hadn't gone in after him, he would still be at the bottom. Maybe he is "The Chosen Mandalor", but the Mythasaur wanted her to see as well.

Maybe I miss heard it in the video but Tarre Vizla was not the first Mandalore, he was just the first Mandalorian inducted into the Jedi, in legends Mandalore the First now Mandalore the Great in canon it seems became ruler after discovering Mandalore the planet and saving his people at which point they hunted and tamed the Mythosaurs and later discovered beskar

The Mythosaur never tried to eat him, it was just there. He did not get pulled down, he reached the end of the stairs and sank like a rock with no jet pack to get out.

It wasn't just Din Djarin that the Mythosaur didn't eat. It didn't eat Bo Katan either.

Ahhh! It's all so much better when it makes sense! 👍 Thank you! And thanks for all the comments which made it make even more sense!👌 🤙Just subbed!

It could also be that Bo-Katan is the chosen one, because she was the one who saw the Mythosaur, not Din Djarin. It could be that it pulled Din down so that she would save him and look the Mythosaur in the eye. I’m not sure it’s so straight cut. Din has absolutely no interest in ruling Mandalore. Hell, he can’t control the Darksaber, while Bo-katan wields it like a motherfu…………….well, you get the idea.

Din fell, he wasn't grabbed. It was the weight of the armor. The mythosaur was just checking out the commotion in his lair. Bo explained it wasn't that deep before The Purge...

i think that this is the way but I still need convincing. When Bo picked up the saber it moved like a feather, and we only see the mythosaur turn and look when Bo enters. Obviously much more development but I do think youre correct. Also after he offered her the saber in the past im worried that they will go down the path of redemption for DIn and Mandalaore but gives off leadership to Bo for her redemption.

His heavy armor is why he dropped so quick not because of any creature.

Did the Mythosaur pull him down or did he fall down and couldn't swim back up because of his armor? Keep in mind the Mythosaur was completely asleep until Bo-Katan shined her light on its face. I couldn't imagine it would fall back to sleep that fast after having pulled someone down from the surface.. Just a thought

If I was 9, I'd love this show. When I was 9, I got to see the actual Star Wars 1976 in the theater twice. Today, I woke up, had tea and made a big bowl of cereal to watch a new Mandalorian. I was 9 again for a little while. The Mandalorian is a joy to watch. And I can still watch Andor, but with a beer. A different cereal. Serial , whatever. Good stuff.

I personally think we could see Din & Bo-Katan becoming love interests. And unifying the mandalorian people with their marriage.

Real reason...all that armour would have given it indigestion. 😂

It really looks like Din just missed the step and fell... He's wearing full plate beskar (it's heavy) and he is still in a weakened state due to Sewer Grievous draining his blood... But the mythosaur might have also pulled him down

The mythosaur did not eat him because it just ate all those creatures that Din and Bo killed a few minutes earlier. He was full. OR... Domino's still has really good delivery service to the underworld of mandalore.

The Mythosaur probably just thought he was a Beskari Turtle and not worth the time to crunch up.

Pretty sure the mythosaur just had PTSD flashbacks when he saw the darksaber ignite

This is what Star Wars needs...There are so many "ways" This could go.👀🔥

According to The Armorer, legend foretold that a Mythosaur rising up would herald the age of a new Mandalore.

The Mythosaur didn’t eat Din DJarin because he had the dark saber, and the Mythosaur said he’s the homie and let him live.

I would be interesting if that Mythosaur we saw was the same one Mandalor The Great tamed all those millennia ago, that’s why it didn’t attack Din Djaren or Bo Katan.

I hope basilisk droids will return as well, starting neo mandalorian wars and bringing might once again

While tar vizla was a mandalore. He wasn't the first mandalore that tamed the mythosaur. That was a taughn mandalorian. It wouldn't surprise me if the living waters mythosaur is a force sensitive maybe at the bendus level he was no doubt living in that cave like a dragon turtle for centuries he probably got a force scan of each mandalorian to take the oaths. Now add it was 25 years since the last swearing in happened it felt it had visitors and came to the shallows to see who was there it would have sensed din was a true believer and it probably knew and sensed the dark Saber. Lore on the blade was it was exceptionally pure beskar odds are tarre received the mythosaurs blessing in the beskar and probably with the khyber crystal. If both were sourced from deep in that lake that would explain its uniqueness and how it connects to the mandalorians. It's in near the same weight class as the zillo beast and bendu and both were highly intelligent so it stands to reason the ancient mythosaur is too. In my head I'm comparing it to a dragon dnd style. Could be the same with krayts but they due to environmental issues get hunted down before they get old and wise. The one din faced in season 2 was pretty old judging by its size and it was smart as shown by how it fought them it was sentient possibly on the verge of sapience just another 1000 years or so to go. Non humanoid creatures cab have human or greater levels of intelligence in star wars. For example look at the purgill king Ezra befriends. Or hell zonoma sekot.

I don't think the Mythosaur even noticed Din and he definitely didn't pull him down. Din took off his jet pack and he did this for us to see. His Beskar armors weight is what pulled him down like a rock when he stepped off solid ground. If the Mythosaur pulled him down we would of had water moving from something that large near the surface.

Its been alone for a long time and Din had Tarre Vizla's magic nightstick. Old boy was lonely and curious.

Don't think Din just sank, in Season 2 he was able to fight his way to the surface in water with a jetpack on too. Think he will ride the Mythosaur at some point which was foreshadowed in Season 1. Maybe even unite the Mandalorians, as he was moved by seeing the planet and what must have been a beautiful civilization. Whether in the long run, Din D'jarin sticks around to stay as king IMO is up for debate. He owes Bo-katan his life, and was a "simple man, making his way through the galaxy". Like Boba. He didn't want the Darksaber. At the very end, he could just wander into the sunset with Grogu. Anyway awesome episode that bio-android was creepy AF.

i think it was just a drop, because if you look closely when bo-katan jumps in, part of the steps are cracked and fallen. it could have just been a very fast fall, remember, he was wearing metal armour. also a creature that size would probably have to have tiny hands/mouth to put a human foot under from about a metre of water.

The mythosaur didn't pull Din Djarin down- he stepped off the ledge and, wearing a whole fuckton of metal, gravity did its thing and he sank like a dude wearing... well, a whole fuckton of metal.

We haven't seen much of it yet, but Din may have enough connection to the force to communicate with the Mythosaur. At least in this show Grogu is aging too slowly to become Mandalore and so it will be Din. Although he's not of Clean Vizla he may yet hone his force connection.

This vid didn’t age well…

In The "Heiress" Bo Katan's goal was to retake Mandalore, commandeer ships from the Empire, Dark Saber, etc. In Mando Season 3 premiere Din tries to join Her cause, but She lost all "Hope" and fatih. Now after seeing bathing in the living waters with Din & seeing the Mythosaur isn't a myth. Also seeing Din's faith in the songs Has renewed Bo's outlook as well. Now they both can put aside differences to retake Mandalore and unite the clans.

OR DIn Djarin's refusal to remove his helmet saved his life as the Mythosaur dragged the intruder down sparing his life once it realized it was a Mandalorian (dressed as such).

i think you are over thinking this. Mythosaur swatted a Din fly. Bo rescued him. Mythosaur was... hmmm another one? go away, flies. I'm trying to sleep....

I didn't mind episode 1 because since everything was resolved in season 2, it showed us where the show would be going.

To answer the question "Did Mando fall into deep water or was he pulled by the Mythosaur?" Gravity. Assuming Mando stepped off a ledge, gravity would pull him DOWN at 9.8 meters per second squared, or whatever the gravitational constant on Mandalore is. When Bo-Katan jumped in the water, gravity would also pull her DOWN at the same rate. But she was also jet assisted so she cold move much faster than mere gravity was pulling her down and it took her a surprising long time underwater to reach Mando. So with gravity pulling them both equally but she has jets, it should not take that long unless something was also assisting Mando's rapid descent. Ergo, the Mythosaur. Furthermore, Bo-Katan was not rocketing straight down in the direction of gravity's pull. She rocketed laterally, more or less perpendicular to gravity's pull. If Mando fell perpendicular to gravity's pull, then something had to act on him to move him in that direction. Isaac Newton's Laws of Motion apply everywhere, even on Mandalor. Ergo, the Mythosaur. Could Mando have fallen off a ledge, hit a sloped floor, then bounced, tumbled, and slid a quarter of a mile in a generally downward and outward direction, pulled by nothing more than gravity?' Sure. But could he do that, impeded by the unevenness of the ocean floor AND by water resistance, faster than Bo-Katan's rocket-assisted torpedo-like descent, so that she could only catch up to him after he stopped moving a quarter of a mile away? Not a chance. Physics doesn't work that way. Ergo, the Mythosaur. Not that any of this matters to these writers. I mean, come on, they say that Mando can't use an astromech droid because he needs to test atmosphere, then he buys one anyway, and somehow the writers never assume that interplanetary space ships would NEED to have this equipment built into the ship or, at the very least, into the astromech droid that is expected to be in the ship. And they never ask why a bounty hunter droid that doesn't breathe would need to be able to sample atmosphere in the first place. So yeah, writers who can't think through that obvious bit of logic would never apply physics to how Mando's body moves through a liquid medium.

Everyone keeps thinking something pulled him down. That is not how I saw that scene. bottom of he pool was deeper then anyone knew, and he stepped in and his heavy armor caused him to sink!

It left him alone because it didn't even know he was there and he was so small, also it was asleep.. It freaked out when it saw Bo katan lol

The stairs under the water is broken. You can see this when she comes back up with Din.

Bo Katan, being a Princess and ritually bathing in the Mines, leads me to believe that this ritual has exactly this outcome in mind. To be judged by the Mythosaur. If it has the force, it very well could feel the intentions and feelings of those reciting while in the water. Bo Katan and the people before her, who didn't really believe, were never touched/blessed by the Mythosaur.

I feel like could be true cause s1e1 kuiil kinda hinted it when din was trynna learn to ride the animal.

GREAT ANALYSIS AND EXPLANATION! 👍

Peli motto: "Looks like there isn't going to be a barbecue."

I don't think he was tugged in by anything. It seems more likely that he just, fell. Didn't have his jet pack so the heavy beskar armor on top of his weakened state, means we sunk like a rock. However, the mythosaur still letting him live despite falling in is important. I don't think it changed much about what you said, I just don't think the mythosaur tired to pull din in.

It didn’t pull him down he just walked off a drop off 😂

Armor doesn't taste good? Also dude fell, he wasn't tugged. That hole was big enough to sink an entire spaceship if needs be.

He wasn't pulled down the weight of his armor is what made him drop.

"It was just a prank bro" - the mythosaur

Honestly, I hope we never get a full look at the Mythosaur.. I really want it to retain the mystery and… _MYTH_ behind it. I don’t mind if it becomes very important to the plot, that would be awesome but I just don’t want to see it in full broad daylight in all it’s glory. Keep it in shadow, keep it hidden and mysterious and let us continue to guess and imagine about it. I love the Krayt Dragon and I feel like we got enough of it… lots of people wanted to see the whole body, but I’m glad we didn’t. I like the mystery. Think about Alien and Aliens vs the later films… the best parts are where you barely see the alien, it’s much scarier and more impactful that way.

Although fun, there's a heck of a lot of speculation here. I have a few differences of opinion. First, I don't know how you can say that Din "doesn't have an idea" of the darksaber's significance when it's been explained to him ad nauseam. In Chapter 16 of the show both Moff Gideon and Bo-Katan gave him plenty of info and explanation. In Chapter 5 of "The Book of Boba Fett" Din tracks down The Armorer and what's left of the tribe and, not only learns more about the darksaber, but gets one-on-one training ending in a duel for the weapon with Paz Vizsla. After all that Din would have to have a single-digit IQ to "not have an idea about the darksaber's significance." Second, I never got the idea that anything "pulled Din down" as much as he stepped off a ledge into deeper water. I lived on Guam for years and you could walk dozens of yards out into the ocean and the water would be waist-deep. Then it would just drop off hundreds of feet. In the cavern, Din is walking while reciting the oath and suddenly drops. Also, I doubt a creature the size of the Mythosaur could have pulled him off that ledge when he was only in three feet of water and not disturb the surface water in the slightest. There would have been a huge splash and waves as the beast's claw, tail, whatever took Din down. At least as far as the Disney+ shows are concerned we know very little about the Mythosaur outside the few urban myths laid out by various characters. There's no reason to think that the thing would have any interest in attacking the Mandalorians much less making a snack of them.

I think the Mythosaur knows Din Djarin is the father of the next Madalore. A little green dude by the name of Grogu.

She kept it secret because she’s going to double cross the MANDO’s , gank the dark saber , then b-line for the living waters to tame the beast and re take her birth rite

All hail to the new mandalore. The moment I saw the mythosaur I know that din djarin will be the next mandalore.

It was amazing moment when the beast was revealed I didn’t realize they were so huge I also wondered why it did not attack!

Only one problem, Din fell off the step and sank like a rock. The bombing opened a chasm under the steps and the steps broke off, so after a few steps, it just drops off. Nothing grabbed him.

Din fell in and sank because of his heavy armor. The Mythosaur was just there.

Grogu probably felt, or connected to the Mythosaur before Din even walked into the water. This is why (imo) it didnt attack Din or Bo Katan and simply left Din.

Second I saw the Mythosaur: We gotta bring in the beckets for this one boys... in order to fight this monster, we must build monsters of our own

I'm coming at this having already seen the next episode, but still a few grips with the logic: 1. Darksaber and Mythasour are symbols, not magic seals of destiny. That's why Mandalorians don't care if you have a Darksaber that someone just handed you, because there's no rule-book that says having it automatically makes you ruler of anything. 2. Mythasours aren't magical beings that plan Mandalorian society. Riding one would certainly gain the attention of the disparate clans but so does reclaiming the Darksaber by defeating the treasonous Imperial Warlord that glassed Mandalor. If the person who does it can't explain how or why the clans should unite behind them, then it's just a great story to drink too. 3. The Mythasour planning that Dinn should be the next Mandalor is absurd. It just saw something and yanked but then wasn't particularly hungry for a tiny metal plated biped.

It's not just A mythosaur, but THE mythosaur!

The new Mandalor is Cobb Vanth The mythosaur will never leave Harlan alive

Ummm...Pre Viszla and Mandalore the great are 2 completely different people..."4:27= first Mandalore Viszla"......?
