I'd love Sabine to train him. She has so much to pass on that she learned from the Jedi and the Mandos about how to wield the Darksaber. She can be introduced in an episode of Mando season 3 to introduce her to non-Rebels fans before she appears in Ahsoka. And lets not forget, she has Ezra's green lightsaber from the Rebels finale. I wouldn't want this hypothetical episode to simply be a remake of "Trials of the Darksaber," but there can be similarities and parallels. But I would also love to see Luke train him! Maybe different people he meet and give him more training.
I honestly think Luke is going to inspire Din to forge a new Mandalore, in the same way he’s forging a new Jedi order. Both reject aspects of the old way and forge a new path forward for their people
I hope Luke’s new order gets some time to shine in the future and it actually has a purpose. I thought Luke’s arc in TLJ was very interesting and definitely has its merits, but I think the prior film, TFA, fumbled the football big time by establishing that his entire new order was wiped out. We didn’t get to see how any of Luke’s students would be different compared to the old order’s students. It was a great opportunity but it was completely squandered. Again, not TLJ’s fault. I think the TLJ arc would’ve still worked really well with his personal failure of Ben, without the prior film nuking his entire order.
Dinn is going on a quest for redemption. He is taking the dark saber with him, to the underbelly of Mandalore, seeking the waters of redemption. But he will find more than just water, he will find something else of legend buried for generations.
I want to actually see the New Jedi Order. That was one of my favorite parts of the EU, and it was bullshit that Disney had it already destroyed before ep 7 even starts 😑
@@RevanMartinez Same here, man. I'm reading Young Jedi Knights now and it's so fun to see how Luke raises his new order differently. And hell, it's not like he makes all the right choices either. He makes mistakes that are very interesting. I think Luke's arc in the sequels was pretty cool, but on the macro scale, having his order be nuked is just poor for worldbuilding.
About the Armorer: the question of Din taking off his helmet is very much a part of helping him with the turmoil in his mind. Certainly it's possible that Din *knows* there's a penalty of excommunication from his home for disobeying a fundamental tenet. He needs to go through this period of exile in order to help him regain control of his mind and emotional state.
Everyone 2 years ago: “I hope Boba Fett doesn’t show up in Mandalorian and overshadow Din.” Everyone now: “I hope we don’t get much more of Din in Boba Fett and overshadow Boba”
Q&A: Since Episode 5 for the Book of Boba Fett did have Din Djarin return and it's more of a Din center focused episode without Boba Fett. Do you think The Mandalorian Season 3 would might do the same thing like having a Luke (maybe have a better Deepfake Technology without the Bad Face CGI from S2) and Grogu center focused episode without Din Djarin in one of the Season 3 episodes? P.S.: I do think Episode 5 of Book of Boba Fett felt like it's more of a The Mandalorian episode than a Book of Boba Fett episode.
Matthew Kelly that structure is similar to The Clone Wars by Dave Filoni & Lucas. It wasn't centric to one faction, group, character rather showing Mandalorians, Bounty hunter, Jedi, droids, Senators, Separatist, & clone's perspective.
@@timdaley9798 true! The Clone Wars was a multi-storyline series also. The Mandoverse is literally the (Live action post Return Of The Jedi era) Clone Wars.
I feel like the mando episode was probably a necessity to establish the naboo starfighter before the finale of the season. I wouldn't be surprised if we see his visit to grogu in mando season 3, even if the book of boba finale is set afterwards
@@100percentNotaBot thrawn and ezra disappear in 0 years before the battle of Yavin. The mandalorian takes place in 9 years After the battle of yavin. Thrawn has probably resurfaced in the meantime, and finding him would mean finding ezra. Also, it appears that the margrave ahsoka fights in this episode works for thrawn, because when ahsoka asks her the first time, she said something along the lines of "ill never tell you anything", and she knew who ahsoka was asking for.
I kinda hope Sabine shows up to Teach Mando at some point, that way it'd be a sort of spiritual continuation of Kanan teaching Sabine in rebels, especially since Sabine and Djarin seem to have similar hang ups in wielding the darksaber.
I think Sabine would be a better option. Perhaps by Mando Season 3 he won't have mastered it yet, but Sabine will come along as help him just as Kanan helped her.
All I want, is for Din to actually wield the saber himself, and not give/loose it to someone else. He's becoming a too much loved character for him to end up as a "helper" to others.
I agree with you guys. Episodes 6 and 7 of tbobf need to focus on Boba. And only Mando season 3 is when Din should deal with the darksaber fully. And the one who should train him is Sabine, not Luke. Sabine mastered the darksaber before, she knows its history and significance. She's another link to the Ahsoka show, she was cast out by her family once, so she knows how does that feel. She's a mandalorian with extra found family. She understands what he's been through. She is the perfect choice to teach Din.
It sort of makes sense, for the season, that just before Mando joins Boba as muscle, that while visiting Grogu, Luke gives Mando some sabre pointers. Then we'd get to watch Mando tear through a bunch of Pikes.
about Boba's armour, it could also be cool to see him accept both of his lives as part of him. his past as a bouty hounter may be over but it is still part of him, and his life with the Tuskens is equally important to the man he is now. I could maybe see him doning parts of the armour over the Tuscen robes or some other combination of the two.
Q&A: How did you feel about Paz Vizsla immediately become willing to kill Mando once he knew he had the dark saber? They were just talking about how Mandalorians value loyalty. It seemed to me he was too eager to end Mando's clan as he said.
Yes but in times like this. His want to rule and be just like the rest of his ancestors might take precedent over his loyalty for any other mando. Pre was sort of that way too.
Crazy idea: what if Mando tells Luke about his assignment and how he heard the Pykes are poisoning Tatooine with violence and their spice trade. Could it be a motivation for Luke to join the fight to rid his old home planet from that kind of mob business? After all Jedi were keepers of the peace. Maybe that's why they gave Boba that element of reason in the show, to make him a more benevolent ruler.
Like Mace Windu once ironically said, the Jedi were keepers of the peace but not soldiers. Luke fighting with Boba in a war against the Pykes would make him very much a soldier. If he were to intervene, he'd have to try to personally deal with the Pykes and try to avoid conflict altogether, without picking sides. If Luke could spare the Knights of Ren, darkside users who literally thoughtlessly murder anyone based purely on the fact that they just felt like it. Then he would spare the Pykes aswell. Unless of course, he has not yet reached that stage of his journey.
First thought I had when Din mentioned visiting Grogu was seeing Luke again. He’s my favorite SW character, and I predicted (and hoped 🤞🏽) for months that he’d show up in The Mandalorian. That said, I would not be surprised if we see this instead in Mando Season 3.
I honestly felt that boba s new look was a fusion, like the fabric he is using is the Tustin robes. So he's merged his past and present to become whole
Didn't know Rupert Grint was cast in a star wars series, had to do a quick search and noticed that some of the cast for obi wan has gotten character names, and not just the cast that is obvious.
I would love if they would explore Luke training grogu in animation. I think that would solve the de-aging and you could do more than with just the puppet. I want to see grogu explore a Jedi temple, face his fears, give a backstory and find his crystal. I want to see grogu build his lightsaber.
Dank farrik! Now that you mentioned it, Hondo will show up before season 1 ends! I'd just be happy to see Mando hold Grogu who's holding the Dark Saber and wielding it for him. Curious, why do the Tuskens wear those masks? And, if Boba was taken into that Tusken tribe, would it not be a thing to also have and wear a Tusken mask, also?.. and, just what do Tusken look like under their masks?
I've seen so much of the fandom hate on Yoda and blame him for everything like the Clone Wars and the Jedi Purge and it really annoys me to no end. Like first of all, that was all Sidious and Yoda had a whole dang ARC in The Clone Wars about acknowledging and overcoming his mistakes and flaws and recognizing those of the Jedi, something no other Jedi did, not Mace Windu, not Ki-Adi Mundi, not even Obi-Wan did that but people just completely disregard that whole progression for him just to have to blame someone in vincinity of the Jedi. It's extremely infuriating, especially as a fan of Yoda's character
Q/A: Is it possible that the Zeffo had used the World Between Worlds for space travel? A lot of their iconography and designs look very similar to that of the World Between Worlds, and we never see any evidence of a Zeffo spaceship although we know they went to several planets.
It would be cool to see Luke help Boba, in some way, help clean up Tatooine. It would be poetic in a sense, Anakin as a kid dreamed of reforming Tatooine and saving it from atrocities like the slave trade. To have his son help accomplish that dream would be beautiful.
I don't need to see Luke train Din, but it seems like a high possibility that it could happen on or off screen. We know Luke is going to start a Jedi school, and we know Sabine was taught by a Jedi who also didn't complete their training. What Din really needs is to learn to connect with the blade and to direct it's energy as his own -- this is exactly the kind of thing any Jedi needs to know. Din has met three Jedi: Luke, Grogu, and Ahsoka. I think these are the most likely characters to help Din learn what they need to know to wield the Darksaber.
The fact that episode 5 of TBOBF focused so much on the darksaber and mandalorian history makes me think all this is leading to Boba Fett eventually becoming the ruler of Mandalore.
Mando will be absent for most of the finale, doing his side quest visiting Grogu. He’ll show up at the end and the events will be shown in Mando season 3.
If Luke saw Boba, Luke might get upset or angry, but Boba would just be "nothing i ever did to you or your friends was personal. It was just business" and honestly, i think Luke would respect that
I believe that Din needs to master himself and find his new purpose to finally wield the dark saber well. Both Boba and Sabine could help him with his personal growth as they have experienced similar character growth. Din is clearly feeling alone and lonely. He seemed surprised and pleased when Pelli told him a friend was seeking him out. He happily and readily signed on to help Boba partly I’m sure in gratitude and perhaps as a personal connection as well. (Fennec seemed as happy to see Din As we were!) He also wants to atone for removing his helmet, he hasn’t given up on his tribe yet, and that journey might help him find his true purpose inadvertently.
Q&A- does what we saw of ashoka in book of bobba fett change the trajectory of where they r taking her considering she is (hopefully) getting her own show? when they first announced it i thought it would be about ezra and thrawn etc but now i’m not sure especially considering what happened in this weeks episode
Q/A: Why was Commander Wollfe a ship captain when we first meet him in the Clone Wars? Did he switch specialties, or was he substituting for the actual captain who was out sick?
Luke will probably teach Mando only how to connect with the crystal which will allow Mando to use the darksaber…..reinforcement of the relationship between Grogu and Mando would endanger’s Grogu’s training… because Mando help Luke find Grogu, and the chapter is all Dave’s writing and Directing, it’s very possible Luke goes back with Mando to free Luke’s home planet
Q/A: they reminded everyone of Cad bane in Bad Batch before his live action appearance. What are the odds of Hondo appearing in bat batch S2 before then appearing in Live Action?
I think in chapter 6 we will see a quick scene with Mando, Grogu, and Luke where Luke gives him a little advice about controlling the dark saber. But in Mandalorian season 3 is where we will see Din understand his true purpose and ultimately learn how to us the dark saber whilst also attempting to re-take Mandalore.
I don't think din's done with the children of the watch. I think he still trying to find his way and will hear of, or be forced to mandalore and from there he'll finally make a choice. He'll find a mine to the bottom with some of that special water in it, he'll go there... and then he'll choose not to go in it. I think before he gets there he will have had enough interactions with other Mandalorian's that he'll choose another way. As the theme of the story is all about choices and finding your own way. I believe he will assume the mantle of "Mandolore" and make another honorable way that respects the old ways, but is more flexible and less dogmatic. A way that allows the children of the watch to exist as they are, but also a way for the other Mandalorians. Perhaps he creates a cast system, and he makes the children of the watch more like those who take the oath of the black from game of thrones. So if you choose the old way you are made to stick with it, but for everyone else theirs more flexibility in the rules, such as taking your helm off. Perhaps your allowed to take it off as you wish, but if its removed in battle then you've lost some honor and theirs specific actions or tasks you must take to regain it, something along those lines i think we be story and thematically wise, great. Embracing the warrior ways of old, reuniting the tribes, but with less dogmatic rules and a clear focus and redefinition of honor. Not being like the mandolorians of old legends, who sought out and started wars with strong opponents just to challenge themselves to gain their twisted version of honor or valor. This would prevent splintering, infighting, and all the other things that led to the mandolorians prior downfall. I think din will lead his people into a golden age in a way Bo katan and Satine never could. As they represented the extremes that ultimately tore mandalore apart.
I really hope not, I'd rather Ahsoka just because I can't be done with the effects again. I didn't think they were good the first time please not again.
I don't feel comfortable with Luke training Din because he's not a Jedi. To me it makes a lot more sense if Ashoka gives him light saber training. Plus we could see black and white sabers clash, which visually would look amazing.
Q&A: Had Boba and Fennec Shand met before he saved her on Tattooine? When he found her in the desert he already knew who she was, and she immediately refers to him by his first name.
I would love to see Ahsoka train Din with the Dark Saber in Season 3. With her connection to Mandalore, she would make more sense than Luke. No matter what, I’m so stoked for season 3 after TBOB “interlude.”
For Din to be worthy of becoming The Mandalore, he *had* to answer honestly that he had removed his helmet. As a Child of the Watch, but with exposure to the Night Owls, and with ties to remaining Jedi, Din is uniquely placed to be able to relate to and unite the remaining Mandalorian peoples. Honor and integrity are everything to him, and he must be good with himself before he can be good for his people.
I woud expect that Din will not be seen much in the next episode as he will be off screen visiting Grogu. Boba is going to be out recruiting for his squad to take on the Pykes. They will get info that they are outnumbered dramatically and so Boba goes to town. He will give some form of speech to try and rally the towns folk to help but no one is interested. Then in the final episode there will be the shwodownwith the Pykes, and team Boba is going to be the underdog, outnumbered and outgunned. Pykes are going to pull out some air power and the Slave 1 is going to be destroyed. Team Boba is going to then do a last stand sorta thing. Then when all seems lost, the townsfolk rally, Din and Grogu fly by in the N1 and the tide turns.
I imagine Luke will give him a few hints, the mental breakthrough to control the Dark Sabre, more so than trying to train him. I think Luke will outright say he can't train him, and point him in the right direction, towards the mental barriers he needs to overcome to wield the dark sabre. I imagine we might even get a brief moment in the final showdown where he temporarily gets it, gets in the zone, and then we'll get to explore him learning to master it consistently in Season 3.
Hell prob were robes and armor. The motif of starwars lately has been "cant we have both? ". This is the way..of the old. vs this is OUR way NOW. Not to mention from a Tuskan perspective, they wear masks, why cant he? Anddd it would be ANOTHER sculpt for a fett action figure; very toyetic The gaffe stick idea is prob spot on. I love the idea of the sense of culture mandolorian brought in. Like, not just jedi have traditions. Boba didn't have culture, until the sand. He only knew killing. Now he is starting is own doctrine tribe and family. Been watchin this channel for years. I love getting to see how you guys have really got into your comfort zone , keep up the great stuff!
My question is, why is everyone focusing on LUKE training Din? Ahsoka knows about lightsabers, she got more training than Luke ever did, and Din knows her. She's not just some legendary Jedi that he met for less than five minutes, they worked together for a common goal and she seems to have a positive opinion of him. And we know she's alive and Din can probably get in touch with her fairly easily. She would be more than capable of teaching Din to avoid lopping off his own limbs and could probably tell him what is going on with the darksaber being so heavy for him.
@@mightheal I get that part. But even if that weren't true it seems like they'd be trying to push for it. I'd love to see Luke tell him to go ask Ahsoka because he doesn't have the training or experience. Or for Ahsoka to be there helping Luke.
@@sharonblankcanvas7173 He doesn't actually need to learn to fight what he needs is to conquer are his doubts and he'll get that more from Grogu and Luke then from anyone else.
Q&A: Is the decision between attachment to Mando or becoming a Jedi a decision Luke would really impose upon Grogu? I get that Luke is carrying on the Jedi-way that his masters were taught, but didn't he also redeem Vader through Vader's attachment to him, his son? Doesn't he preserve his relationships with Leia and Han even after becoming a jedi? Feels odd that Luke wouldn't be teaching a slightly evolved version of the Jedi.
Q&A: since Star Wars titles are often ambiguous as to who they refer to, could “The Return of The Mandalorian” actually be about Boba Fett? If he really is the legendary “Mythosaur” the armorer spoke of, could the title be a reference to how Boba Fett will return the Mandalorians to their former glory?
The BoBF mini-series has been promoted as Season 2.5 of “The Mandalorian”. In other words, the entire mini-series is an interlude, just like we have seen in novels like “Ahsoka” and the “Empire’s End” series. Episode 5 is an interlude within an interlude. Interludes tell us about what is happening elsewhere in the galaxy. They seem to have a knack for establishing a timeline. Whatever is in store for Din Djarin visiting Grogu will definitely NOT appear in the “Book of Boba Fett” mini-series.
Book of Boba is not a mini series and they marketed it as Mando 2.5 because it's apart of the group of shows that is going to culminate into a special event.
Why does it seem like Din knows very little about Mandalorian history? I don't know if the character has a given age but Pedro Pascal is 46 and Din was rescued by Mandalorians as a kid. It seems like he should know a bit more.
@@DenDhur luke is training jedi. it makes the most sense for sabine who had a history of using it and gifted it to bo katan before to do the right thing and train the one who earned it this time
The bigger question is that will they actually let the actor they hired to play the role and drop the awkward VFX puppet (my apologies to the vfx team, I pray you were well compensated and job secured).
Ugh! I’m only halfway through Rising Storm. I hate having to stop these videos once High Republic talk starts. I rewatched the Rebels episodes with the Darksaber after episode 5 released and I think Sabine would be a better mentor for Din on a lot of levels. Not only with the Darksaber but the family issues and conflicts.
Kanin did not know more about light sabers…what? His master died when he was like 10. I hate when I listen to a pod cast where I know more about the subject that I vaguely care about, than the pod caster who is Obsessed with it. Step it up man.
I think Boba Fett will retrieve the darksaber from someone that defeats Djarin and Boba will become the Mand'alor. That will leave "Lone Wolf and Cub" to continue the Hero's Journey. Boba will be the Shogun.
One thing that has annoyed me is it looks like Fett went into this without any real plan. He's just recruiting people on the fly. I would like to see a flashback scene where he had recruited Tuskens ahead of time to his side and then they come to the rescue at the end. It would make him look so much better.
Q/A What is going with Tatooine's currency? In Phantom Menace no Credits have been accepted. Instead there was the Pegat. But one of the traders wanted Jar Jar to pay in "Hoopi Hoopi" or something. Now Boba Fett says he has tons of Credits but they are apperantly New Republic Credits, how did he get those?
I feel like Din's visit to Grogu would be the perfect opening for season 3 of The Mandalorian. To appease Grogu fans and fans of Luke who want to see him training Jedi. Then we can focus back on Din's journey as he discovers what being a Mandalorian means to and for him.
This is more a response to the speculation about Boba Fett and Din Djarin than it is to a question. I think you are spot on when it comes to the symbolism of both Boba and Din's mando armor thematically, Though I tend to disagree to their end state. I think that thematically they were husks before their characters were fleshed out. They were all flash and no substance. Din was just cool armor, as was Boba as a character. But now we have people, characters to occupy their space. I don't think it's antithetical for them to wear their armor at the end of their stories. They are now people to occupy that void inbetween the cool armor. These are people using their power (armor and weapons) to reach an end rather than to fill space, similar to the force, only using technology to reach that righteous goal. Also the cynic in me knows that Star Wars won't give up their popular characters appearances. Just my two cents.
Q&A: do you think the fact that Tatooine features so much across Star Wars stories has been somewhat intentional to add irony to Luke’s feelings about the planet as we see in A New Hope? I remember first thinking that after seeing the phantom menace and realising Anakin was from the same planet
It has nothing to do with them intentionally deciding to make it ironic. Anakin is on Tatooine to explain why Luke was found on Tatooine and the planet keeps popping because we meet a lot of interesting characters that were involved with the planet from the original trilogy. We are missing a lore explanation on why Jabba made Tatooine his home base.
@@sttssymbl There's not really any other reason because they're using Anakin's past to hide Luke but if they used Obi-wan's or Yoda's then Vader would have eventually discovered it and would have checked it out to look for them.
Do you think that Dinn could be a connection to bring in extra muscle with the tusken raider and Cobb Vann. We have seen Dinn have a connection with the raiders in both seasons 1 and 2 of the mandalorian.
It feels like they are setting up him seeing grogu on screen already. And getting trained by Luke. That's why they gave him a ship with a little bubble for grogu to hop on. But I'm certain this is set up for the end of this story or Mandalorian S3
Fett was never lukes problem. So not sure why luke would be troubled. I can see saying to fett to leave his family alone but he isnt grabbing his saber.
What the f are you talking about? This is 5 years after ROTG! Look does not know anything about L sabers? Lmao this man looks for relic everyday, tomb raids like a maniac
