Whoa. Ownasaber made a fine product there. I'm going to have to spend a long time coming up with the coin to do it, which is why I don't usually indulge my fandom but that blade looks absolutely amazing.
Are you forgetting that this is modern Disney. It'll be the woman that tames the alien dinosaur monster and claims the dark saber then rides the alien monster. That's the way Disney seems to work these days. I'm starting to think they're setting up for that exact scenario. Seriously, you can actually see it coming. It's obvious just from that 1 episode.
@@dawall3732 thinking it might be surprise to that theme. Seems to be Bo-Katan in a wiser advisor type role to help Din learn to use the saber properly. Plus the armorer wouldn't be keen in Bo-Katan as things stand so Din is a very likely middle ground for all parties involved 🤷♂️ all points to Din learning to use the saber, taming the mount maybe with Boba's help, in aims to unite the people as a new Mandalore since he truly follows "The Way" and would be accepted all ways around. Not blaming you for being jaded and skeptical 👍
The thing is, that Bo dove into the water after him within seconds, yet he had already fallen all the way to the bottom ahead of her even though she was jetpack-propelled. Makes no physical sense...
“As a kid we all have joined domestic terrorist organizations, probably.” 😂 Best line yet in a Generation Tech video. Tip of the cap to Alan for the delivery and to whoever wrote the line.
Remember, it is Din who has always been shown riding beasts since the first episode. Din riding random monsters is part of his theme. It would be a narrative betrayal to rob Din the chance to ride the mythosaur. Maybe Din and Bo can share the hero myth? She can have the sword, he can have the mythosaur.
It'd be interesting to have the Mythosaur represent the culture, while the saber represent the martial. Split leadership may seem odd but if Din leads the faith while Bo leads the military, I think it could lead to a new Mandalorian Golden Age.
I think Mandalorians need some reforms to balance out their warrior ways with some or Satine’s peaceful ways. Such as what Jango’s mentor wanted which was for the Mandalorians to be mercenaries instead of conquerors. You’re not fighting for conquest or making the galaxy your most hated enemy and you get to fight still. Its a win win for their people imo.
No they need to go back to being warriors being pacifist bitches doesn’t work for them it’s either one extreme or the other they’re never going to be a hybrid of both
A society of nothing but mercenaries is still not going to go very far. Even a miltiarized society still needs statemen, diplomats, engineers and the works. Satine went too far, yes, but her reforms at least brought Mandalore to a point where it was a functioning society, Death Watch not withstanding.
I think Din has made Bo realise that the Code is a way to reunite her people. The Mythosaur is a way to gain the creditability she needs to become leader. We also have to note that she was using the dark sabre without issue
I think Din is the only one shown to have difficulty wielding the Darksaber. And even then, he didn't have a problem briefly wielding it before he knew of its significance. I think that it's not so much that the Darksaber is rejecting Din, it's that Din is rejecting the Darksaber. He's resisting the destiny he feels it is burdening him with. He's resisting the responsibility he feels it is burdening him with. This is why he's so desperate to become accepted again by his own. They're the only ones who could really accept him now. All the other Mandalorians? They just see the Darksaber. And they see that whatever he's supposed to be doing with the Darksaber, he ain't doing it.
@@isaiahgeorge906 They've specifically talked about how its weight increases for those who can't wield it properly, which is what we see him wrestling with. He can barely keep the blade off the ground. This is not a normal lightsaber trait.
I think it subtlety shows why she’s lost hope and is so broken by her people not accepting her. She pushes the whole royal family birthright thing, but she has actually done whatever she has to in order to be capable of leading & fighting for her people in her view. They still rejected her for not murdering Sabine to “rightfully” have the dark saber and not murdering Din to claim it again when he was her ally. She has paid for being honorable, has probably regretted being affiliated with death watch for how it splintered their people, and now can’t see hope in bringing back what she see as their glory days on Mandalore. I like how they are showing and telling why her character arc has shifted so drastically.
Din was not pulled under, he fell. Pay attention when Bo-Katan jumps in - the stairs suddenly stop at a nearly vertical drop. When she reaches Din, he's not hurt, nothing is holding him down, he simply sank because he's covered in armor and took off his jet pack. When she's pulling him back up and sees the Mythosaur it wasn't aggressive in the least, it just watches them. Din stepped into dark water and wasn't being careful, that's all.
Is like these youtubers don't watch the show cause he is not the only one making the same mistake saying that Din was pull when in reality he felt is funny cause that scene of Din falling to the bottom reminds of the movie A Knights Tales when they show the training montage and he falls into the river wearing his armor and sinks to the bottom of the river
@Jose Flores I think the reason everyone thinks he got pulled, was bc of how quickly din sank. Even tho he was in pure beskar, it took Bo super long even with a jetpack to reach him.
For something that hasn't been confirmed by the showrunners, a lot of you people are pretty confident Din slipped. I think he was pulled under, he went down to fast. He had to be pulled to down, to go into the water that fast. And I'm not talking, to the bottom, I'm saying him just getting submerged, was to fast for just a slip. But I'm not claiming I'm right, without someone from the show saying "Yeah, the mythosaur grabbed him."
I’ve been thinking for a while now that the show’s title might not actually refer to Din, but rather to Grogu. As a foundling, he will be the second Mandalorian Jedi, and will be the one to tame the Mythasaur, inherit his father’s Darksaber, and unite his people like Mandalor the first. He has had the benefit of seeing the galaxy and learning a great deal about things from a wide variety of teachers. He will make an excellent leader when he is ready, and will live long enough to usher in a new age of prosperity to his people.
I think that this might be a good idea. And since he’s one of Yoda’s people, he can live for hundreds of years, making sure his plans get off the ground.
I like this. I've had some similar thoughts. But I think there are some practical problems with doing that story over the course of this series. I mean, Grogu is ~50 years old, and based on Yoda he's likely to live to be something like 900. After 50 years he still seems like a toddler in a lot of ways, and is still clearly much smaller than Yoda was. It's possible that he's farther along developmentally than he seems, or that his maturation has been delayed by the trauma he's experienced but he will be able to make up that ground quickly now that he's in a more stable situation with a father figure. But it seems probable that he still has at least close to 50 years left before he's really an adult. Somehow I doubt that this series is going to go for that long, and I doubt Dave Filoni is planning on that. So I'm pretty sure there's a different plan for this series. It might not be incompatible with Grogu eventually becoming the leader of the Mandalorians, but if that does happen I think it will be in a different show set farther into the future, and probably not until after this show ends. Though this show could end with Grogu officially becoming a Mandalorian - that seems to normally happen in late childhood/early teens from what we've seen.
I immediately think about Avatar the last Airbender when Uncle Iroh protects the last dragons by declaring that he killed the last one when in reality he lied to help them hide away. Don't think that's this mythosaur situation but still, loved seeing the MS
@@larkmacgregor3143 any person can become mandalorian also picking up orphans in a galaxy full of war is a good thing they don’t pick and choose like the Jedi
One of the things I took from the 2nd episode was how Grogu is observing his choice played out before him. He left the 'same-old Jedi training' to embrace his own path with the force and attachment to Din. Now before him are BoKatan and Din squabbling about the many paths, the truth, the 'theater', what are we? I thought his sort of eye roll at BoKatan's "what are you looking at" was cute, sure, but it also had to be a bit self-directed as he confronts this new path without the traditions and theater of the Jedi Masters. Maybe I'm looking for more than is there, but I think part of this season will be the reinforcement of Grogu's choice and his willingness to seek that new path with Din and others surprising them all, including himself. He's confronting fears *with* support instead of alone; using attachments to strengthen instead of being told how they weaken a Jedi. Din already knows and has shown him the value of that, perhaps that played a part in Grogu's choice. It's going to be a fascinating season!
To me I think Grogu was just expecting Bo Katan to repeat ''this is the way'' after Din, which is what he's used to seeing in the Armorer's clan. But she did not, hence the surprised look.
At the start and before the start of the season I thought Bo was gonna try to take the darksaber back in any way possible but now she realizes how stupid it is to lead a whole faction just because of a stupid saber
I think she always realized it was stupid to be choosing leaders based on who has an old laser-sword. But she knew that her fellow Mandalorians were...pretty stupid, and would choose their leaders based on whether or not she had an old laser-sword.
Din is just a baby to his own culture, he has such a minimal and childlike knowledge of his people. Bo-Katan is jaded for sure, but I think she is endeared by Grogu and Din’s relationship. I can totally see them getting together to bring everyone else together. Grogu being the Mand’alor with Din and Bo-Katan raising and training him.
You realize, of course, that if ANYONE is going to tame a Mythosaur, it's probably going to be Grogu. Then again, this does seem to be his story in the end.
The mythosaur at the bottom of the mines kinda gave me Iroh vibes from avatar…like how iroh lied to keep the dragons safe…the last mandorlorian to claim to kill a mythosaur or even mando the great could have lied to keep this one safe
We don't know the exact circumstances. She says they left when she didn't gain the Darksaber but it's possible that they left because she turned onto an obnoxious emo b17ch after failing to possess it.
@@TJDious Yeah, and it's also possible that they haven't truly ditched her. Maybe they were the last to go, when Bo-Katan herself ordered them to leave her alone. But if she needed help, they'd show up in a flash.
I hope both Bo-Katan and Din tackle with the question what it means to be (a modern) Mandalorian and to what extend (and how) should the Creed be involved in answering that question. Personally, from what I've seen I hope the answer would be: "The Creed is a map and not a blasted rigid mould to which you shape your entire identity, when you get lost, you figure it out with or without the Creed".
I did see that too with Bo Katan , that she was jaded not spoiled. It was only when she said something along the lines of “deal with him for good “ that I briefly questioned her intentions.
Considering that she immediately went off to save him, I took that to mean just yelling at him more sternly for bothering her again. Truly, I don't think Bo-Katan ever really blamed Din for her current situation. She's just exhausted and frustrated with her people.
We have to realize there is two star wars. The movie version where the characters are supposedly good or evil, and the animated version that the characters are more complex. Even Darth Maul was more complex in the animated series. When Lucas wrote it, story telling was we had good and evil. More modern story telling gives us more complex personalities. The creator of Games of thrones complain about Lord of the rings being so black and white. Besides they need to explain the change between the original series and the prequel. People don't seem to understand, the first rebel was the last separatist. We were rooting for the Republic to win in the prequel, when we knew it will turn evil. In the movie, Lucas did a poor job in relating the original with the prequel. But because of how much time passed between the two, he didn't need to. But in the animated series that took place between the two, they have to marry the two series.
@@slewone4905 Thee is also the time limit of movies. You can only show so much. Consider Maul's character arc through the Clone Wars and Rebels shows. The same goes for other characters like Ahsoka. She had so much time to develop you'd be hard pressed to push all that into a trilogy of movies even if she was the main character.
I haven't watched Star Wars Rebels, but someone told me that Sabine became Mandalore at some point. That person tried to argue that it makes no sense cause the Mandalorians would never allow that. I told them that the Mandalorians don't really think, if you just promise them honor and violence, they'll usually go along with it. That's how I've always viewed Mandalorians and that's why they irritate the shit out of me.
I was a little on the fence before, but Bo Katan's character grew on me in the second episode, especially near the end. It's been nice watching everyone's character development over time and even across different series
It's because Bo Katan is more of a modern character. Star wars was written with good and evil being distinct. The Animated added more complex characters that makes a more interesting story. One of the reason Kennedy's Star wars was not that good was it's more black and white story telling.
I think the story twist is Boba Fett becoming the Mandore restoring the True Mandalorian way to all the factions, honor and strength above all else for the greater good of all Mandalorians. He is the only living Mando that can ride large beasts with ease and battle experience with Jedi and all other combatants. Not to mention he is the rightful heir to the throne much like Arthurian legend
I think Bo-Katan will be the one to try and tame or kill the Mythosaur as a way to not fight Din for the Darksaber. Sortve a cop-out way to put Bo back into a leadership position without creating conflict with the protagonist, much like how instead of Boba Fett and Din Djarin fighting against each other they became allies instantly
@@Ben-Ken last time they tried to change the Mandalorians we got the “New Mandalorians” which were just awful so it doesn’t really matter if anyone thinks their traditions are bad, changing them takes away what makes them likable
@@Maliz_Ultraviolet_Lantern I'm not looking at it from the perspective of interesting or cool TV. I'm looking at it from the perspective of having a sustainable society that doesn't get destroyed constantly.
@@Ben-Ken Abandoning their warrior heritage didn’t do the “new Mandalorians” much good as a sustainable society, considering that they lasted for less than a generation
A year ago, I left a comment after the Mandalorian episode of the Book of Boba Fett suggesting you do a video on the brand new cults in the Galaxy Din Djarin could join now that he is spiritually single. The Warp Zone just made the same video. That's a pity, I really wanted you guys to do it.
My favorite thing about the expanded universe/legends Star Wars was that Mandalorians weren’t primarily human they were zabrak, twi’lek, humans and others. Mandalorian culture wasn’t about any one group or race it was about a united family. Yes there were many Mandalore’s and their legacies they left behind. Mandalore the Ultimate was about conquering so that his people could prosper, Mandalore the Preserver was about salvaging and rebuilding what was lost, Mandalore the first was about exploring and overcoming obstacles that we are afraid of. This is the Mandalorian culture that I have loved over the years.
To be fair, it could still be this way in canon. Most of the mandalorians we've seen with helmets removed have been from major clans like Vizla, Kryze, and Wren, so there could easily be a large variety in mandalorian races which simply haven't been demonstrated on-screen yet. Or the writers miss the memo and make them all human-ish. I feel like we probably won't actually see enough mandos to know which way that cookie will crumble, but I'd very much like to be wrong about that.
Yeah because, its part of their kodex. You know "This is the way". The Mandalorian "Hardliners" show a passion for it and are mostly very indoctrinated and conservative about that
Frankly, I think this is all Setting up Grogu to be the new leader and Din is just his teacher... maybe his knight in shining armor. There was a point I thought maybe it'd be Boba Fett seeing as he almost has a legit connection with the stuff revealed by his armor's chain code, but apparently he just wants to be a respectable crime boss, so he's basically just a step above Maul. But Yeah Grogu with his soft baby ways could tame the beast, fulfill the prophecy, and lead the 'Mandos with a new balance of all the things he's learned both Din and Bo.
@Daniel Knauss yeah but grogu is still a toddler. And he's 50. He most likely won't be a preteen until his mid 100s, and this show probably won't go nearly that long, tho I don't doubt them setting him up to be mandalore/taking the creed at some point and in another show or media, actually show him starting to lead. But then there's the issue that the darksaber is WAYYY too big for him and would never be able to wield it, even when he's fully grown, unless it's like Kanans Saber where the blade can be adjusted.
Making the old stuff legends makes sense. There's a lot of stories that spin off in wild directions with varied degrees of quality control, so they chose to trim it down to avoid being inconsistent with like 30 years of Expanded content, call it Legends so that it's not thrown out, and they can draw from it the way MCU pulls from Marvel comics. It's a sensible base to build from.
Im hoping at some point a CHAD Mandalorian comes along and just chucks the Darksaber into a river, calling it a Jedi tool. It really shows where their mentality is. The mandalorians are a people much like they were during the crusades. Only focused on warring factions and not the functioning society Mandalore the Ultimate formed which was able to challenge The Republic to some degree because it amassed proper armies and fleets supported by real industry and knowledge forged in that Old Domain they once held.
*There are definitely some things that the entire Mandalore people need to have a sit down talk about how they can agree to still.come together when needed & even help rebuild their culture in its entirety. Every group believes something different than the others. This many of us can agree on when it comes to religion within our own reality. But, even so, some religious groups still look out for one another even with those different beliefs. This is what I believe the Mandalorians should look to do moving forward.*
Yes, yes, YES!! Even as some others stated through the comment feed, it also needs to happen with the Jedi. The Jedi need to reassess their creed as well. We can see it didn’t work out so well. Yes… This is the way
I don't think it will be Bo-Katan or Din who tames the mythosaur. I think it will be Grogu. He tamed a rancor too. As the second Mandalorian Jedi in history (well, to-be, because at the moment he's still neither), Grogu might be the best person to wield the darksaber too. The only problem is: he's too young. Well, he may be 50, but he doesn't talk. Did he just say his first word there? Grogu is clearly up for some long-overdue development.
Agreed. Grogu at 50 is comparable in development to a human at age 4, assuming the average human's lifespan is 80, and his species 1000. He should definitely be verbal, and less infant-like at this point. But, considering the trauma he's been through, perhaps regression would be expected.
@@larkmacgregor3143 Development speed can be a lot more complex than that. On top of that, he's probably a lot smarter than he comes across; he's been trained in the Jedi temple many years ago, and he just flew a starfighter, so while he may look like it, he's probably not comparable to a toddler. On top of that, he's member of a species that's known to struggle with language even at 900.
@@MartijnVos while he still has a lot of childish traits, living 50 years is still being alive 50 years. Many of those years spent in the jedi temple. He has to be smarter then one would think.
Din didn't get pulled under, his ass tried to step where there were no stairs and his heavy ass armor pulled him down. And he sunk like a rock, that is why he sank so quickly
Mythosour vs Zilo Beast Kaiju battle in Mando is coming and I'm hyped! It cannot be a coincidence that we just saw the Zilo beast in the Bad batch last week and the Mythosour this week. In either this season finally or next we are definitely getting a battle between the Mandalorians and an Imperial remnant who will field a Zilo beast in the battle. If thrawn is involved he might have brought the zilo beast to the battle on the off chance the Mythosour from mandalors art and story's would infact come into the fight. After the Bendu predicted he defeat by the Pergil he won't take prophecy lightly going forward.
The thing about the romanticism of the Mandalorians is that like you said Alan it is not too far fetched. Their raiding and adopting of orphans is a practice the Mongols used back when they were an expanding empire. Lucas took different even if minute aspects of cultures and merged them into the Mandalorians we know today.
My money is one Bo-Katan trying to tame or kill the mythosaur. But I am still hoping for the return of the Resol'nare and the Supercommando Codex... and the Taung and the old lore of the Mandalorian taking in all species.. Also in defense of Bo-Katan... she seems to want him to leave the children of the watch and that is way she says thinks like that about the "living water"
I think the baby Mythosaur has imprinted to Bo-Katan, the same way the baby Rancor imprinted to Boba Fett. But since no one remembers much about Mythosaurs, she has no idea their babies imprint to the first being they see, like Rancors.
I loved "We've all joined domestic terrorist organizations when young" I laughed so loudly it alarmed my poor sleepy cat. Which is itself a type of domestic terror, I suppose.
Boba Fett's appeal was not just the armor, Alan. It was the fact that he was a free-wheeling space cowboy dispensing his own brand of justice and getting paid big bucks for it by the guys who run the galaxy. While Han Solo tried to make ends meet selling space coke, Boba Fett was flying around disintegrating people for a living and getting paid the big bucks by both criminal warlords and the legitimate government authorities. He was both a made man in the Space Mafia and a government-sanctioned killer at the same time, and he made a killing out of it, both figuratively and literally. Heck, we even had a hit anime named Cowboy Bebop which was based around the premise of Boba Fett's character of being a Bounty Hunter who made ends meet hunting people down. It wasn't just the armor, but the premise of the character, which made Boba Fett an enduring legacy in the SW universe. When they made a game about Boba's old man Jango, it wasn't centered around some Mandalorian warrior culture or ritual stuff, (that stuff ended up in the Republic Commando game instead) it was about being a bounty hunter and flying around the galaxy, hunting dangerous prey, from druglords, senators, crime kingpins, Hutts, even Dark Jedi. Hence why it became known as Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. And as for the Mandalorians, they only really took off as a culture because of the KOTOR games, where the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders were portrayed as a mix between the Spartans and the Prussians; cold, calculating foes that worshiped war and perfected killing people as a science. They were essentially a race based around the mindset of someone like Grand Moff Tarkin, respecting people based on the way they fight and risk their lives, and having no qualms about using massacres and weapons of mass destruction to achieve their goals. The Republic Commando books veered away from what made the game of the same name great, instead focusing on baby-mama drama and whining about the Jedi, which the Neo-Crusaders would've found laughable, since they respected the Jedi as warriors, but had no problems fighting or even killing them.
The Mandalorian Warrior Culture is great for the millitary, but what about the artisans, architects and civilian construction workers and droid techs that need to rebuild the cities. What about the biochem specialists that are needed to build the greenhouses and terraform the planet. What about the doctors and nurses and engineers and garbage collectors. Society needs more than just the Millitary.
@@skorathereckless6449 Not really. Purely Warrior Cultures like the Spartans are sustained by slavery. Unless you want to see Mandos be a slaver culture, they need to be more than just warriors.
Actually if you think of previous episodes, it's most likely that Grogu will tame the Mythossaur as he did with the Rancor... And as a Jedi, he could yeld the Darksaber as well... Who knows, perhaps he's the actual Mandalorian of the Series.
Bo talked about her own taking the creed in those waters, and talked about it as theater for the people. It was something she had to do- not something she believed in. When Din walks into the water saying the creed, they cut to Bo's face and she has a very interesting face/smile. Din is sincere. I think she realizes and appreciates that he isn't just going through the motions for others, but because he believes it for himself. Could give her a new appreciation for the creed, or for him. Also, I'm not sure that all Mandalorians were always and only taken as foundlings. That may be what the zealots like the Children of the Watch do exclusively. But there was entire Mandalorian society filling multiple planets and moons. Bo has a sister. There was a period of infighting between the Mandalorian clans and any captured foundlings would have been coming from other Mandalorian clans. So where did those babies come from? Clearly Mandalorian culture must have had families and spouses, or at least sex and children, of some kind. "Mandalorian isn't a race, it's a creed" apparently it's almost exclusively humans. Perhaps not all humans on Mandalore were Mandalorians? Perhaps the creed is just for the warrior caste? Perhaps it's just a religious type thing with a mix of orthodox and moderate believers? Perhaps it's only like a soldier's creed- applies while "enlisted" as part of the fighting corps, ie the military, but service could end, veterans could retire, hang up their helmets, and start families?
Since Bo-Katans father was Mando who died fighting, it runs in the family. It does answer one question though, Satine was royalty but their father was still alive which suggests the title was matrilinear. Either way the main culture of Mandalore is nominally following the Lore but we've seen diplomats, shopkeepers, schoolteachers and student who dont wear armour or at least only possibly a symbolic chain. They inherit their Mandalorian identity from being born there. The children are a small cult and to be blunt, im not sure how romantic you can get while wearing a bucket on your head. Or do they turn out the lights and close their eyes? I doubt they have a high birth rate! They need to recruit. I mean, can you imagine the armourer pushing an armoured pram?
Agree with everything in the video, but it’s still beautiful watching Bo Katan rediscover her faith. As a longtime cynic, I found the whole thing very moving.
They don't need a flap in the armor. He can just keep his helmet. On the other hand she's probably too old for babies and she should realize that unless there's a clear successor to the throne its going to be a bloodbath after he dies.
I believe that Grogu using the force to pacify the Rancor in the Book of Boba Fett was foreshadowing for him taming the mythosaur. Din Djarin won the Darksaber from the Imperial responsible for destroying Mandalore, and Bo-Katan Kryze is a Mandalorian princess. Grogu has a father now so now he needs a mother. If Din Djarin marries Bo-Katan then the three of them can unite Mandalore as a family as they will have the royal blood, the Darksaber, and mythosaur. Additionally Grogu is a Mandalorian and a Jedi just like Tarre Vizsla who united the Mandalorians in the past.
I just thought of something. I have heard people say someone is going to defeat and ride the Mythosaur , whether it's Mando, Bo Katan, or Baby Yoda. I think I just figured it out. The armorer isn't going to believe that Mando bathed in the waters on Mandalore, and she isn't going to consider Bo Katan a reliable witness, so she is going to make Mando take her and their Mando clan back to Mandore to witness it themselves, but when they get there, the mythosaur attacks them and they get in a big battle, but in a shocking twist, it's noone anyone expected to defeat the mythosaur. It turns out, Paz Vizsla is the one who stops it. So at this point Mando has the dark saber, and Paz Vizsla rides the mythosaur, so they both have a claim to power, and basically their only option is to fight to the death to decide, once and for all, who is rightfully Mandalore. ...or in another weird twist, what if Bo Katan is in possession of Mandalore's mask? Then there are three Mandos with a claim to the throne, and as they are about to battle it out, the armorer gets them to take a step back and consider a new option...sharing power as equals. Basically, they could call it the Council Of Mandalore amd instead of having one ruler, Mandalore would have three rulers, which cod be beneficial. Mando is more diplomatic, Laz Vizsla, could be the tough war-like leader, and basically Bo Katan would serve as a balance between the two, and the armorer, while not part of the council, could act as an advisor to them.
Well, I think the key to this is how he will be able to ride it. Grogu has the ability through the force to make the beast calm and trust the Mandalorian.
Grogu has the ability to calm the baby Rancor, but only Boba Fett can ride it. Boba Fett was the first being the baby Rancor saw, so it imprinted to Boba Fett as its mother. The baby Mythosaur has lived in darkness. The first being it saw was Bo-Katan, who only paused before it because she was in complete shock. Nevertheless, Bo-Katan is now its mommy. She just doesn't know it yet.
You know, I feel like the new mandalorians were kind of objectively the more reasonable faction of the mandalorians. Like, for how cool the warrior culture stuff is, it just isn't sustainable. I think the main flaw of the new mandalorians, aside from being a monarchy, is that they were so committed to peace to redefine themselves from the original mandalorians that they also couldn't defend themselves. A faction that splits the difference by valuing peace and tranquillity, but has the ability to fight when necessary, is really the only way I see mandalorian culture having any sort of staying power. Otherwise they're just going to go through this continuous boom-bust cycle where somebody gains power and unites the mandalorians, and then after that person dies the whole thing completely falls apart. Now that I think about it, with the influence of grogu, I'm wondering if maybe they'll take some inspiration from the Jedi and go the route of being highly skilled warriors who used violence as a last resort to preserve peace.
The new mandalorians were just as flawed, they buried their heads in the sand and tried to ignore their past and even when being invaded by criminal syndicates satine was still preaching against violence even as a form of defence, she did so while her people were getting gunned down in the street.
Din will tame and ride the Mythosaur, while the Dark Saber will go to Bo. She can wield it effortlessly compared to Din while Bo rejects so much of the old ways.
The darksaber wasn’t a right to lead all of Mandalore until Maul. Vizslas owned it for generations and after the Mandalorian Civil Wars they were outcast…along with the dark saber. I like the idea of it but I think the mask would be more fitting to bring back to canon.
Here’s a question i have, since the DarkSaber ownership is determined by defeating its previous owner doesn’t Bo-Katan now technically own it. Stay with me here and feel free to point out any flaws in my logic: 1. Weird one eyed cybernetic creature thing defeats Din Djarin therefore is then the rightful owner of the dark saber 2. Bo-Katan defeats weird cybernetic creature therefore technically taking ownership of the dark saber however Din Djarin takes it back after she releases him. Am I wrong? Please correct me if I’ve missed something or is this a glaring error?
@The Amazingly Randy what about Moff Gideon? He took the Dark Saber and I doubt he won it fairly. This could turn into an Elder Wand sennario from Harry Potter where everyone wants the "thing" but no one really knows who owns it
@@KrazyStargazer maybe it doesn't matter how the first person claimed it. Mando won it fair and square. If the entire chain had to be legit, then the chain was broken when it's original owner died. It was stolen from the temple after his death.
Wait a minute - well 0:30 minutes... Boba Fett didn't 'appear in the original trilogy' - he 'RE-appeared in ESB and ROTJ- but he FIRST APPEARED in the Ralph-Bakshi style animated segment of 'that holiday special that shall not be named' where they get Chewbacca back home for 'Life Day'... despite the live-action segments being filmed with enough soft-focus glossy Vaseline / bantha spit on the camera lens that it looks like 70s art film, the animated Boba Fett sequence manages to toe the line between bonkers and bad-ass.
@Generation Tech - I would really like to see one of your great analysis of the shows dealing with all the parallels of Mandalorians with the Jewish people on Earth. There seem to be a lot, starting with the purge/holocaust, the fact that being Mandalorian is not related to place of birth or parental succession but purely due to culture and faith up to rather strict rules for the faith. There apparently was even some excerpt of the book of exodus written on that shard in episode 1 (at least this was described as an easter egg on youtube).

Are you forgetting that this is modern Disney. It'll be the woman that tames the alien dinosaur monster and claims the dark saber then rides the alien monster. That's the way Disney seems to work these days.
I'm starting to think they're setting up for that exact scenario. Seriously, you can actually see it coming. It's obvious just from that 1 episode.
its not baby yoda... call the little basterd by his name...
@@dawall3732 thinking it might be surprise to that theme. Seems to be Bo-Katan in a wiser advisor type role to help Din learn to use the saber properly. Plus the armorer wouldn't be keen in Bo-Katan as things stand so Din is a very likely middle ground for all parties involved 🤷♂️ all points to Din learning to use the saber, taming the mount maybe with Boba's help, in aims to unite the people as a new Mandalore since he truly follows "The Way" and would be accepted all ways around. Not blaming you for being jaded and skeptical 👍
Din wasn't pulled under, the cave lake had a steep drop off so he accidentally stepped into nothingness and sank like a Beskar rock
I laughed my ass off at that part.
That was my thinking, too. He simply stepped off the shelf and sunk like a rock. 🤷
And as He had not pressurized His suit prior to stepping into the water, Bo saved him again.
Beskar isn't that heavy.
The thing is, that Bo dove into the water after him within seconds, yet he had already fallen all the way to the bottom ahead of her even though she was jetpack-propelled. Makes no physical sense...

@@orokusaki1243 I'm losing count at this point 😜
They promised me money for college.
Remember, it is Din who has always been shown riding beasts since the first episode. Din riding random monsters is part of his theme. It would be a narrative betrayal to rob Din the chance to ride the mythosaur. Maybe Din and Bo can share the hero myth? She can have the sword, he can have the mythosaur.
It’d work better than Boba Fett riding the rancor for sure!
Or Din can be Mandalore and Bo Katan can be his right hand/second in command. Every Hideyoshi needs his Nene, as the saying goes.
I'd buy them as a SW couple
It'd be interesting to have the Mythosaur represent the culture, while the saber represent the martial. Split leadership may seem odd but if Din leads the faith while Bo leads the military, I think it could lead to a new Mandalorian Golden Age.
@@VideoMask93 like a bantha
Dinn didn't get pulled in, he actually fell into the deep end of the pool. He didn't have his jetpack so he couldn't get out with his heavy armor.
He sank way too fast but I still think he sank lol
I was sitting there watching it, thinking "You're gonna step off the edge, dummy."
Normally when you sink you don't also travel forward hundreds of feet, so I think he did more than just fall.
It's not a path straight down. He was knocked out so it's safe to say he hit everything on the way down.
@@rosscalhoun3389 I'm pretty sure he sank to the bottom so fast for dramatic effect not because of any logical reason
I think Mandalorians need some reforms to balance out their warrior ways with some or Satine’s peaceful ways. Such as what Jango’s mentor wanted which was for the Mandalorians to be mercenaries instead of conquerors. You’re not fighting for conquest or making the galaxy your most hated enemy and you get to fight still. Its a win win for their people imo.
No they need to go back to being warriors being pacifist bitches doesn’t work for them it’s either one extreme or the other they’re never going to be a hybrid of both
A society of nothing but mercenaries is still not going to go very far. Even a miltiarized society still needs statemen, diplomats, engineers and the works.
Satine went too far, yes, but her reforms at least brought Mandalore to a point where it was a functioning society, Death Watch not withstanding.
A mercenary only society isn't gonna last long.
@@AaronGuest It didn't, they were wiped out.
Feels like this whole storyline is gonna be them recovering mandalore the ultimate's knowledge.
I think Din has made Bo realise that the Code is a way to reunite her people. The Mythosaur is a way to gain the creditability she needs to become leader. We also have to note that she was using the dark sabre without issue
She has used it before. Ngl that was my favorite part of the episode.
I think Din is the only one shown to have difficulty wielding the Darksaber. And even then, he didn't have a problem briefly wielding it before he knew of its significance. I think that it's not so much that the Darksaber is rejecting Din, it's that Din is rejecting the Darksaber. He's resisting the destiny he feels it is burdening him with. He's resisting the responsibility he feels it is burdening him with.
This is why he's so desperate to become accepted again by his own. They're the only ones who could really accept him now. All the other Mandalorians? They just see the Darksaber. And they see that whatever he's supposed to be doing with the Darksaber, he ain't doing it.
@@IsaacKuo Or he's clumsy with a type of blade he's never used before, with it being a bloody lightsaber..
@@isaiahgeorge906 They've specifically talked about how its weight increases for those who can't wield it properly, which is what we see him wrestling with. He can barely keep the blade off the ground. This is not a normal lightsaber trait.
I think it subtlety shows why she’s lost hope and is so broken by her people not accepting her. She pushes the whole royal family birthright thing, but she has actually done whatever she has to in order to be capable of leading & fighting for her people in her view. They still rejected her for not murdering Sabine to “rightfully” have the dark saber and not murdering Din to claim it again when he was her ally. She has paid for being honorable, has probably regretted being affiliated with death watch for how it splintered their people, and now can’t see hope in bringing back what she see as their glory days on Mandalore. I like how they are showing and telling why her character arc has shifted so drastically.
Din was not pulled under, he fell. Pay attention when Bo-Katan jumps in - the stairs suddenly stop at a nearly vertical drop. When she reaches Din, he's not hurt, nothing is holding him down, he simply sank because he's covered in armor and took off his jet pack. When she's pulling him back up and sees the Mythosaur it wasn't aggressive in the least, it just watches them. Din stepped into dark water and wasn't being careful, that's all.
Yeah it looked way more like he fell
Is like these youtubers don't watch the show cause he is not the only one making the same mistake saying that Din was pull when in reality he felt is funny cause that scene of Din falling to the bottom reminds of the movie A Knights Tales when they show the training montage and he falls into the river wearing his armor and sinks to the bottom of the river
@Jose Flores I think the reason everyone thinks he got pulled, was bc of how quickly din sank. Even tho he was in pure beskar, it took Bo super long even with a jetpack to reach him.
He's also seriously weak and dizzy from blood loss
For something that hasn't been confirmed by the showrunners, a lot of you people are pretty confident Din slipped.
I think he was pulled under, he went down to fast. He had to be pulled to down, to go into the water that fast. And I'm not talking, to the bottom, I'm saying him just getting submerged, was to fast for just a slip.
But I'm not claiming I'm right, without someone from the show saying "Yeah, the mythosaur grabbed him."
I’ve been thinking for a while now that the show’s title might not actually refer to Din, but rather to Grogu. As a foundling, he will be the second Mandalorian Jedi, and will be the one to tame the Mythasaur, inherit his father’s Darksaber, and unite his people like Mandalor the first. He has had the benefit of seeing the galaxy and learning a great deal about things from a wide variety of teachers. He will make an excellent leader when he is ready, and will live long enough to usher in a new age of prosperity to his people.
I think that this might be a good idea. And since he’s one of Yoda’s people, he can live for hundreds of years, making sure his plans get off the ground.
I like this. I've had some similar thoughts. But I think there are some practical problems with doing that story over the course of this series. I mean, Grogu is ~50 years old, and based on Yoda he's likely to live to be something like 900. After 50 years he still seems like a toddler in a lot of ways, and is still clearly much smaller than Yoda was. It's possible that he's farther along developmentally than he seems, or that his maturation has been delayed by the trauma he's experienced but he will be able to make up that ground quickly now that he's in a more stable situation with a father figure. But it seems probable that he still has at least close to 50 years left before he's really an adult. Somehow I doubt that this series is going to go for that long, and I doubt Dave Filoni is planning on that. So I'm pretty sure there's a different plan for this series. It might not be incompatible with Grogu eventually becoming the leader of the Mandalorians, but if that does happen I think it will be in a different show set farther into the future, and probably not until after this show ends. Though this show could end with Grogu officially becoming a Mandalorian - that seems to normally happen in late childhood/early teens from what we've seen.
I had the same thought. Suppose Grogu and not Denn is actually the title character. What a twist.
he's still a baby that eats anything the size of his hand
Won't be a Jedi.
I immediately think about Avatar the last Airbender when Uncle Iroh protects the last dragons by declaring that he killed the last one when in reality he lied to help them hide away. Don't think that's this mythosaur situation but still, loved seeing the MS

The mythosaur will unite Mandalore unlike the dark saber which only brings out anger and no peace.
One of the things I took from the 2nd episode was how Grogu is observing his choice played out before him. He left the 'same-old Jedi training' to embrace his own path with the force and attachment to Din. Now before him are BoKatan and Din squabbling about the many paths, the truth, the 'theater', what are we? I thought his sort of eye roll at BoKatan's "what are you looking at" was cute, sure, but it also had to be a bit self-directed as he confronts this new path without the traditions and theater of the Jedi Masters. Maybe I'm looking for more than is there, but I think part of this season will be the reinforcement of Grogu's choice and his willingness to seek that new path with Din and others surprising them all, including himself. He's confronting fears *with* support instead of alone; using attachments to strengthen instead of being told how they weaken a Jedi. Din already knows and has shown him the value of that, perhaps that played a part in Grogu's choice. It's going to be a fascinating season!
It will be interesting if Din is able to teach him that balance in a way that had been lost to the Jedi for millennia.
Yessss… you’re both on target. This is, EXACTLY IT… This is the way
To me I think Grogu was just expecting Bo Katan to repeat ''this is the way'' after Din, which is what he's used to seeing in the Armorer's clan. But she did not, hence the surprised look.
@@DolbecAqua Yeah, he is very much used to Din's way of the creed. He really hasn't seen how other Mandos worm
That choice moment was completely "Lone Wolf & cub" I suppose that makes the new ship "the wagon"
At the start and before the start of the season I thought Bo was gonna try to take the darksaber back in any way possible but now she realizes how stupid it is to lead a whole faction just because of a stupid saber
I think she always realized it was stupid to be choosing leaders based on who has an old laser-sword.
But she knew that her fellow Mandalorians were...pretty stupid, and would choose their leaders based on whether or not she had an old laser-sword.
Din is just a baby to his own culture, he has such a minimal and childlike knowledge of his people. Bo-Katan is jaded for sure, but I think she is endeared by Grogu and Din’s relationship. I can totally see them getting together to bring everyone else together. Grogu being the Mand’alor with Din and Bo-Katan raising and training him.
You realize, of course, that if ANYONE is going to tame a Mythosaur, it's probably going to be Grogu. Then again, this does seem to be his story in the end.
The mythosaur at the bottom of the mines kinda gave me Iroh vibes from avatar…like how iroh lied to keep the dragons safe…the last mandorlorian to claim to kill a mythosaur or even mando the great could have lied to keep this one safe
9:28 Can't believe that Koska Reeves and Axe Wolves ditched Bo-Katan after she refused to take the Darksaber from Din Djarin.
We don't know the exact circumstances. She says they left when she didn't gain the Darksaber but it's possible that they left because she turned onto an obnoxious emo b17ch after failing to possess it.
@@TJDious Yeah, and it's also possible that they haven't truly ditched her. Maybe they were the last to go, when Bo-Katan herself ordered them to leave her alone. But if she needed help, they'd show up in a flash.
With Grodu's training taking years*(0-2) time has passed and disappointment might have come to a full, and they left
I don't think he was pulled in. Just that the stairs are missing and he dropped off the edge.
Bo Katan swallowing the humble pie.
MMMmmmm humble piiieeee aarrgghhh...
I hope both Bo-Katan and Din tackle with the question what it means to be (a modern) Mandalorian and to what extend (and how) should the Creed be involved in answering that question. Personally, from what I've seen I hope the answer would be: "The Creed is a map and not a blasted rigid mould to which you shape your entire identity, when you get lost, you figure it out with or without the Creed".
The Mandolorians have become the Spartans it seems.
I did see that too with Bo Katan , that she was jaded not spoiled. It was only when she said something along the lines of “deal with him for good “ that I briefly questioned her intentions.
Considering that she immediately went off to save him, I took that to mean just yelling at him more sternly for bothering her again.
Truly, I don't think Bo-Katan ever really blamed Din for her current situation. She's just exhausted and frustrated with her people.
We have to realize there is two star wars. The movie version where the characters are supposedly good or evil, and the animated version that the characters are more complex. Even Darth Maul was more complex in the animated series.
When Lucas wrote it, story telling was we had good and evil. More modern story telling gives us more complex personalities. The creator of Games of thrones complain about Lord of the rings being so black and white.
Besides they need to explain the change between the original series and the prequel. People don't seem to understand, the first rebel was the last separatist.
We were rooting for the Republic to win in the prequel, when we knew it will turn evil. In the movie, Lucas did a poor job in relating the original with the prequel. But because of how much time passed between the two, he didn't need to. But in the animated series that took place between the two, they have to marry the two series.
@@slewone4905 Thee is also the time limit of movies. You can only show so much. Consider Maul's character arc through the Clone Wars and Rebels shows.
The same goes for other characters like Ahsoka. She had so much time to develop you'd be hard pressed to push all that into a trilogy of movies even if she was the main character.
I haven't watched Star Wars Rebels, but someone told me that Sabine became Mandalore at some point. That person tried to argue that it makes no sense cause the Mandalorians would never allow that. I told them that the Mandalorians don't really think, if you just promise them honor and violence, they'll usually go along with it. That's how I've always viewed Mandalorians and that's why they irritate the shit out of me.
"A lot of mandalorian culture is romanticized but when you think about it, it's kinda messed up...." laughs in Jedi.
Gogurt tamed a rancor so I’m guessing he’ll be the one to tame a mythosaur.
Baby yogurt didn't tame it, he just calmed it down from a fit. The baby rancor was already bonded to Boba Fett.
I was a little on the fence before, but Bo Katan's character grew on me in the second episode, especially near the end. It's been nice watching everyone's character development over time and even across different series
It's because Bo Katan is more of a modern character. Star wars was written with good and evil being distinct. The Animated added more complex characters that makes a more interesting story. One of the reason Kennedy's Star wars was not that good was it's more black and white story telling.
I like how quickly she went from "let's get rid of him for good" to "guess I gotta go save his ass."
@@xandersaurenmann6958
Im willing to bet it was still self-serving on her part. Just my opinion...
Did Din get pulled down, or did he just step off the last step and fall?
“Firstly I did not tame the legendary (mythosaur)… it was already tame, I merely shot it”
I think the story twist is Boba Fett becoming the Mandore restoring the True Mandalorian way to all the factions, honor and strength above all else for the greater good of all Mandalorians. He is the only living Mando that can ride large beasts with ease and battle experience with Jedi and all other combatants. Not to mention he is the rightful heir to the throne much like Arthurian legend
I think Bo-Katan will be the one to try and tame or kill the Mythosaur as a way to not fight Din for the Darksaber. Sortve a cop-out way to put Bo back into a leadership position without creating conflict with the protagonist, much like how instead of Boba Fett and Din Djarin fighting against each other they became allies instantly
That's true but it goes right back to letting the person with the cool object lead instead of the best leader.

My favorite thing about the expanded universe/legends Star Wars was that Mandalorians weren’t primarily human they were zabrak, twi’lek, humans and others. Mandalorian culture wasn’t about any one group or race it was about a united family. Yes there were many Mandalore’s and their legacies they left behind. Mandalore the Ultimate was about conquering so that his people could prosper, Mandalore the Preserver was about salvaging and rebuilding what was lost, Mandalore the first was about exploring and overcoming obstacles that we are afraid of. This is the Mandalorian culture that I have loved over the years.
To be fair, it could still be this way in canon. Most of the mandalorians we've seen with helmets removed have been from major clans like Vizla, Kryze, and Wren, so there could easily be a large variety in mandalorian races which simply haven't been demonstrated on-screen yet. Or the writers miss the memo and make them all human-ish. I feel like we probably won't actually see enough mandos to know which way that cookie will crumble, but I'd very much like to be wrong about that.
My favourite version of the Mandalorians. The more I see of the Disney Mandos the more I just cling to the old EU 😂
In the EU, Mandalorians were mostly if not all humans.
Mandalorians probably don't procreate because they are not allowed to take their armor off 😂

Frankly, I think this is all Setting up Grogu to be the new leader and Din is just his teacher... maybe his knight in shining armor. There was a point I thought maybe it'd be Boba Fett seeing as he almost has a legit connection with the stuff revealed by his armor's chain code, but apparently he just wants to be a respectable crime boss, so he's basically just a step above Maul. But Yeah Grogu with his soft baby ways could tame the beast, fulfill the prophecy, and lead the 'Mandos with a new balance of all the things he's learned both Din and Bo.
Never thought about that before - it's no that farfetched. After all he *did* lullaby that rancor.
I have been thinking that too. The show is the origin story for a new Madalorian leader, who like the first one, will be a Jedi.
@Daniel Knauss yeah but grogu is still a toddler. And he's 50. He most likely won't be a preteen until his mid 100s, and this show probably won't go nearly that long, tho I don't doubt them setting him up to be mandalore/taking the creed at some point and in another show or media, actually show him starting to lead. But then there's the issue that the darksaber is WAYYY too big for him and would never be able to wield it, even when he's fully grown, unless it's like Kanans Saber where the blade can be adjusted.
First Bo needs to teach him about history of the people
Disney: legends is dead (but we're canonising it as we like)
Making the old stuff legends makes sense. There's a lot of stories that spin off in wild directions with varied degrees of quality control, so they chose to trim it down to avoid being inconsistent with like 30 years of Expanded content, call it Legends so that it's not thrown out, and they can draw from it the way MCU pulls from Marvel comics. It's a sensible base to build from.
Im hoping at some point a CHAD Mandalorian comes along and just chucks the Darksaber into a river, calling it a Jedi tool. It really shows where their mentality is.
The mandalorians are a people much like they were during the crusades. Only focused on warring factions and not the functioning society Mandalore the Ultimate formed which was able to challenge The Republic to some degree because it amassed proper armies and fleets supported by real industry and knowledge forged in that Old Domain they once held.
I'm here for Chad'Alore.
*There are definitely some things that the entire Mandalore people need to have a sit down talk about how they can agree to still.come together when needed & even help rebuild their culture in its entirety. Every group believes something different than the others. This many of us can agree on when it comes to religion within our own reality. But, even so, some religious groups still look out for one another even with those different beliefs. This is what I believe the Mandalorians should look to do moving forward.*
Yes, yes, YES!! Even as some others stated through the comment feed, it also needs to happen with the Jedi. The Jedi need to reassess their creed as well. We can see it didn’t work out so well. Yes… This is the way

Bo katan is older than din. Remember, Din was a child when he was picked up.
Great vid GenTech. I always enjoy your content.
I don't think it will be Bo-Katan or Din who tames the mythosaur. I think it will be Grogu. He tamed a rancor too. As the second Mandalorian Jedi in history (well, to-be, because at the moment he's still neither), Grogu might be the best person to wield the darksaber too. The only problem is: he's too young. Well, he may be 50, but he doesn't talk. Did he just say his first word there? Grogu is clearly up for some long-overdue development.
Agreed. Grogu at 50 is comparable in development to a human at age 4, assuming the average human's lifespan is 80, and his species 1000. He should definitely be verbal, and less infant-like at this point. But, considering the trauma he's been through, perhaps regression would be expected.
@@larkmacgregor3143 Development speed can be a lot more complex than that.

In either this season finally or next we are definitely getting a battle between the Mandalorians and an Imperial remnant who will field a Zilo beast in the battle. If thrawn is involved he might have brought the zilo beast to the battle on the off chance the Mythosour from mandalors art and story's would infact come into the fight. After the Bendu predicted he defeat by the Pergil he won't take prophecy lightly going forward.
The thing about the romanticism of the Mandalorians is that like you said Alan it is not too far fetched. Their raiding and adopting of orphans is a practice the Mongols used back when they were an expanding empire. Lucas took different even if minute aspects of cultures and merged them into the Mandalorians we know today.
May the force be with you
did something REALLY pull him under? or did he fall off the underwater cliff (his armor so heavy)?

Boba Fett's appeal was not just the armor, Alan. It was the fact that he was a free-wheeling space cowboy dispensing his own brand of justice and getting paid big bucks for it by the guys who run the galaxy. While Han Solo tried to make ends meet selling space coke, Boba Fett was flying around disintegrating people for a living and getting paid the big bucks by both criminal warlords and the legitimate government authorities. He was both a made man in the Space Mafia and a government-sanctioned killer at the same time, and he made a killing out of it, both figuratively and literally.
Heck, we even had a hit anime named Cowboy Bebop which was based around the premise of Boba Fett's character of being a Bounty Hunter who made ends meet hunting people down. It wasn't just the armor, but the premise of the character, which made Boba Fett an enduring legacy in the SW universe. When they made a game about Boba's old man Jango, it wasn't centered around some Mandalorian warrior culture or ritual stuff, (that stuff ended up in the Republic Commando game instead) it was about being a bounty hunter and flying around the galaxy, hunting dangerous prey, from druglords, senators, crime kingpins, Hutts, even Dark Jedi. Hence why it became known as Star Wars: Bounty Hunter.
And as for the Mandalorians, they only really took off as a culture because of the KOTOR games, where the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders were portrayed as a mix between the Spartans and the Prussians; cold, calculating foes that worshiped war and perfected killing people as a science. They were essentially a race based around the mindset of someone like Grand Moff Tarkin, respecting people based on the way they fight and risk their lives, and having no qualms about using massacres and weapons of mass destruction to achieve their goals. The Republic Commando books veered away from what made the game of the same name great, instead focusing on baby-mama drama and whining about the Jedi, which the Neo-Crusaders would've found laughable, since they respected the Jedi as warriors, but had no problems fighting or even killing them.
Din should've skinny dipped - but left the helmet on, of course! Surely that's why Bo-Katan guided him there...
Great discussion. Great final words!
The Mandalorian Warrior Culture is great for the millitary, but what about the artisans, architects and civilian construction workers and droid techs that need to rebuild the cities. What about the biochem specialists that are needed to build the greenhouses and terraform the planet. What about the doctors and nurses and engineers and garbage collectors. Society needs more than just the Millitary.
your straw manning stop it
@@skorathereckless6449 Not really. Purely Warrior Cultures like the Spartans are sustained by slavery. Unless you want to see Mandos be a slaver culture, they need to be more than just warriors.
Great video as always
Boba needs to ride it and become Mand’alor again 😢
Actually if you think of previous episodes, it's most likely that Grogu will tame the Mythossaur as he did with the Rancor... And as a Jedi, he could yeld the Darksaber as well... Who knows, perhaps he's the actual Mandalorian of the Series.
The true mandalorians from legends led by jaster mereel is the best form/faction of mandalorian culture.
They left off the 'Watch your step' on the tour plaque.
You said it best before: Choosing the best fighter as the leader is not smart.
You just end up in a culture based on violence.
Bo talked about her own taking the creed in those waters, and talked about it as theater for the people. It was something she had to do- not something she believed in.
When Din walks into the water saying the creed, they cut to Bo's face and she has a very interesting face/smile. Din is sincere. I think she realizes and appreciates that he isn't just going through the motions for others, but because he believes it for himself. Could give her a new appreciation for the creed, or for him.
Also, I'm not sure that all Mandalorians were always and only taken as foundlings. That may be what the zealots like the Children of the Watch do exclusively. But there was entire Mandalorian society filling multiple planets and moons. Bo has a sister. There was a period of infighting between the Mandalorian clans and any captured foundlings would have been coming from other Mandalorian clans. So where did those babies come from? Clearly Mandalorian culture must have had families and spouses, or at least sex and children, of some kind.
"Mandalorian isn't a race, it's a creed" apparently it's almost exclusively humans. Perhaps not all humans on Mandalore were Mandalorians? Perhaps the creed is just for the warrior caste? Perhaps it's just a religious type thing with a mix of orthodox and moderate believers? Perhaps it's only like a soldier's creed- applies while "enlisted" as part of the fighting corps, ie the military, but service could end, veterans could retire, hang up their helmets, and start families?
Probably in the early days of mandalore but it probably got twisted into what it is now
Since Bo-Katans father was Mando who died fighting, it runs in the family. It does answer one question though, Satine was royalty but their father was still alive which suggests the title was matrilinear.
Either way the main culture of Mandalore is nominally following the Lore but we've seen diplomats, shopkeepers, schoolteachers and student who dont wear armour or at least only possibly a symbolic chain. They inherit their Mandalorian identity from being born there.
The children are a small cult and to be blunt, im not sure how romantic you can get while wearing a bucket on your head. Or do they turn out the lights and close their eyes? I doubt they have a high birth rate!
They need to recruit.
I mean, can you imagine the armourer pushing an armoured pram?
Mandalorians remind me of Spartans. There was such a high to whom would considered a true Spartan. They became a rement of their former selves.
I can see that . The Spartans grew so rigid in their customs , it burned them in the long run
Agree with everything in the video, but it’s still beautiful watching Bo Katan rediscover her faith. As a longtime cynic, I found the whole thing very moving.
@GenerationTech what's your take on Bo-Katarn being the rightful wielder of the Darksaber at the moment?
They don't need a flap in the armor. He can just keep his helmet. On the other hand she's probably too old for babies and she should realize that unless there's a clear successor to the throne its going to be a bloodbath after he dies.
Merit based leadership....
Well executed sir you're expiretese is greatly appreciated
Is the moonsaber considered a replica saber on the website? I’d actually love that scabbard for another saber I got from ownasaber
I believe that Grogu using the force to pacify the Rancor in the Book of Boba Fett was foreshadowing for him taming the mythosaur. Din Djarin won the Darksaber from the Imperial responsible for destroying Mandalore, and Bo-Katan Kryze is a Mandalorian princess. Grogu has a father now so now he needs a mother. If Din Djarin marries Bo-Katan then the three of them can unite Mandalore as a family as they will have the royal blood, the Darksaber, and mythosaur. Additionally Grogu is a Mandalorian and a Jedi just like Tarre Vizsla who united the Mandalorians in the past.
Another great video Alan, Allan, Allen ? Great name also, however you spell it.
I just thought of something. I have heard people say someone is going to defeat and ride the Mythosaur , whether it's Mando, Bo Katan, or Baby Yoda. I think I just figured it out. The armorer isn't going to believe that Mando bathed in the waters on Mandalore, and she isn't going to consider Bo Katan a reliable witness, so she is going to make Mando take her and their Mando clan back to Mandore to witness it themselves, but when they get there, the mythosaur attacks them and they get in a big battle, but in a shocking twist, it's noone anyone expected to defeat the mythosaur. It turns out, Paz Vizsla is the one who stops it. So at this point Mando has the dark saber, and Paz Vizsla rides the mythosaur, so they both have a claim to power, and basically their only option is to fight to the death to decide, once and for all, who is rightfully Mandalore.
...or in another weird twist, what if Bo Katan is in possession of Mandalore's mask? Then there are three Mandos with a claim to the throne, and as they are about to battle it out, the armorer gets them to take a step back and consider a new option...sharing power as equals. Basically, they could call it the Council Of Mandalore amd instead of having one ruler, Mandalore would have three rulers, which cod be beneficial. Mando is more diplomatic, Laz Vizsla, could be the tough war-like leader, and basically Bo Katan would serve as a balance between the two, and the armorer, while not part of the council, could act as an advisor to them.
What about when Obi Wan's girlfriend ruled Mandalore?
She wasn't giving rule through combat.
Alan, the Dark Saber you're weilding is more like a Katana.
Nice.
If Din Djarin is Arthur, does that make Grogu his Merlin?
Well, I think the key to this is how he will be able to ride it. Grogu has the ability through the force to make the beast calm and trust the Mandalorian.
Grogu has the ability to calm the baby Rancor, but only Boba Fett can ride it. Boba Fett was the first being the baby Rancor saw, so it imprinted to Boba Fett as its mother.
The baby Mythosaur has lived in darkness. The first being it saw was Bo-Katan, who only paused before it because she was in complete shock. Nevertheless, Bo-Katan is now its mommy. She just doesn't know it yet.
Did he sink due to the weight of the armor or did he get pulled down
I’ve heard people say both now 😭
You know, I feel like the new mandalorians were kind of objectively the more reasonable faction of the mandalorians. Like, for how cool the warrior culture stuff is, it just isn't sustainable.
I think the main flaw of the new mandalorians, aside from being a monarchy, is that they were so committed to peace to redefine themselves from the original mandalorians that they also couldn't defend themselves.
A faction that splits the difference by valuing peace and tranquillity, but has the ability to fight when necessary, is really the only way I see mandalorian culture having any sort of staying power. Otherwise they're just going to go through this continuous boom-bust cycle where somebody gains power and unites the mandalorians, and then after that person dies the whole thing completely falls apart.
Now that I think about it, with the influence of grogu, I'm wondering if maybe they'll take some inspiration from the Jedi and go the route of being highly skilled warriors who used violence as a last resort to preserve peace.
The new mandalorians were just as flawed, they buried their heads in the sand and tried to ignore their past and even when being invaded by criminal syndicates satine was still preaching against violence even as a form of defence, she did so while her people were getting gunned down in the street.
Din will tame and ride the Mythosaur, while the Dark Saber will go to Bo. She can wield it effortlessly compared to Din while Bo rejects so much of the old ways.
4:41 he didn’t actually get pulled under he falls forward
The darksaber wasn’t a right to lead all of Mandalore until Maul. Vizslas owned it for generations and after the Mandalorian Civil Wars they were outcast…along with the dark saber. I like the idea of it but I think the mask would be more fitting to bring back to canon.
Great work Allen! Scooby snacks for you.
Ah...boy did you mess this prediction up hahahahaha (I enjoy your content keep up the mando lore) hahahahahahaha
Here’s a question i have, since the DarkSaber ownership is determined by defeating its previous owner doesn’t Bo-Katan now technically own it. Stay with me here and feel free to point out any flaws in my logic:
1. Weird one eyed cybernetic creature thing defeats Din Djarin therefore is then the rightful owner of the dark saber
2. Bo-Katan defeats weird cybernetic creature therefore technically taking ownership of the dark saber however Din Djarin takes it back after she releases him.
Am I wrong? Please correct me if I’ve missed something or is this a glaring error?
Mando wasn't defeated in honorable combat. He and the alien creature didn't fight at all.
@@lochnessmonster5149 good point, well made! 😁👍🏻
@The Amazingly Randy what about Moff Gideon? He took the Dark Saber and I doubt he won it fairly.
This could turn into an Elder Wand sennario from Harry Potter where everyone wants the "thing" but no one really knows who owns it
@@KrazyStargazer maybe it doesn't matter how the first person claimed it. Mando won it fair and square. If the entire chain had to be legit, then the chain was broken when it's original owner died. It was stolen from the temple after his death.
@@lochnessmonster5149 Mah man! You get it! :D
"unless there's, like, a little flap in the armor or something"
lmaoo
Baby Gogurt uses his connection with The Living Force to control it and becomes The Mandalore. Everyone brings him cookies. Roll credits.
It’s essentially Chekov’s Mythoosaur. We also know that Grogu is going to be going to be the one to tame the Mythosaur.
All that power couple need to do is build a basilisk droid to ride into the sunset on.
Could the Mythasour be like Ben-Du?
Also calling it now Grogu tames it.
Watch Bo Karen use Grogu to tame the beast so she can get her butt on the throne.🤣
I just want to know what the general grievous alien blood sucker was.
Wait a minute - well 0:30 minutes... Boba Fett didn't 'appear in the original trilogy' - he 'RE-appeared in ESB and ROTJ- but he FIRST APPEARED in the Ralph-Bakshi style animated segment of 'that holiday special that shall not be named' where they get Chewbacca back home for 'Life Day'... despite the live-action segments being filmed with enough soft-focus glossy Vaseline / bantha spit on the camera lens that it looks like 70s art film, the animated Boba Fett sequence manages to toe the line between bonkers and bad-ass.
@Generation Tech - I would really like to see one of your great analysis of the shows dealing with all the parallels of Mandalorians with the Jewish people on Earth. There seem to be a lot, starting with the purge/holocaust, the fact that being Mandalorian is not related to place of birth or parental succession but purely due to culture and faith up to rather strict rules for the faith. There apparently was even some excerpt of the book of exodus written on that shard in episode 1 (at least this was described as an easter egg on youtube).
I do too think anything pulled him under, He just didn't realize it dropped off so steeply.
