I cried because my dad died this year and he only got to watch season one. I imagined him being there enjoying it with me... that coupled with how crappy the Direction Luke went in the movies, seeing him kick ass was amazing. Truly a poetic and deep way to end season 2!
Im sorry for your loss man. I couldn't imagine how that feels. Me and my dad are close and I am currently catching him up on Mandalorian Season 2. He is about to see Ahsoka for the first time and he doesn't know anything about her. Star Wars is mine and my dads thing. Remember he will be with you...Always.
Sorry for your loss.
I 100% believe that your father would have loved this episode.
May the force be with you my friend.
You have my condolences.
May your Dad rest in peace.
I lost my Dad ten years ago.
It still hurts.
I'm keeping you and your family in my prayers.
MY dad died this year too man, I wish he was with me watching a lot things as well, doings things. Sorry for your loss, stay strong.
@@batman4452 I'm sorry for your loss.
When I saw the green lightsaber and gloved hand, tears started to rush down my cheeks because they're finally giving Luke the scene and story he deserved after what happened in the new sequels. Then the hallway scene came on and the rest was history. I am glad we all share a moment together as fans. Keep up the good work everyone! Never lose hope!
Same
Likewise we are
I was hoping from the start of the episode luke would come since grogu finished sending the message
I’m an old guy who saw all three original Star Wars films with my Dad when I was a kid. I lived and breathed everything Luke Skywalker growing up. And as time went on, the world moved on and so did I. Star Wars turned into something I no longer recognized.
The Mandalorian and “The Rescue” in particular, is the greatest thing in Star Wars that I have seen since 1983. The fact that I watched it with my 77 year old father made it all the better. If they never make another Star Wars anything ever again.... this is a good ending to it all for me. One last look at Luke the way I remembered him
Well said my friend. The first movie I remember watching in a theatre was ROTJ and this was how I remember it.
D dres TDedd
Thank you for this. Such a beautiful reaction
F*** yea for us OGs. I was 7 years old when this grad student Gunter snuck me into the theatre. Mind blowing. Original showing. With burning skeletons of Aunt May and Uncle Ben before they edited it out.
You're absolutely right thumbs-up
Luke and Ahsoka meeting would be such a good addition to Star Wars because Ahsoka would find out that Anakin redeemed himself and learn that Luke is Padmé’s son. This would be really cool for Ahsoka because she had a strong relationship with Padmé as a friend
Please yes!!!!
What about Ahsoka meeting Anakin himself? They’ve already got Hayden coming back for the Obi-Wan series, so it would be easy to bring him over to the set of Ahsoka with few people knowing about it.
I could imagine a scene where Ahsoka maybe thinks all hope is lost in achieving her goal, when her old master shows up to tell her that nothing is impossible, if he can find his way back to the light, then there is always hope.
@@DesignGeek06 that’d be fucking sick but i’d still want luke and ahsoka to meet before that
@@DesignGeek06 just imagining seeing Ashoka sad and depressed that she can't find Ezra and Thrawn she venting to herself until you hear hayden's voice say "snips."
I think if Ahsoka meet Luke she could be a Jedi again. Because in Clone Wars she said " I'm not a jedi, not yet." so she colud return with new order. And this could explain why we heard her in the 9th film.
It's almost difficult to even comprehend that rotj Luke just popped up to be our hero again. Ahsoka and Luke need to meet.
And make babies ...
@@Nautilus1972 you're young so you probably don't realize how awkward and inappropriate that'd be.
@@TheVentrexian yep
@@Nautilus1972 lol
They did boiiii this comment aged like fine wine 🍷
How do you create conflict in a Luke show? Her name is Mara Jade...
Uuuuuuu. Yasssssss!
Mara Jade and an evil Luke clone.
@@TammyGordin Let's not name him Luuke though.
I have thought since TLJ came out, that's how you fix Luke in the movie. Luke married Mara, they had a child and Kylo or Snoke killed Mara and the child. That would make it so much more believable that Luke just vanishes like he does and stops being 'Luke'. He loses his Jedi academy AND his wife and child. It's the only way to make the sequel's even make a little bit of sense in regards to Luke
@Zach Evans nothing will ever make the sequels make sense.....nothing but a full retcon of the sequels will make sense.
Grogu (trained) will come back to save the day for Din the same way Luke saved the day on the last episode.
That would be cool but it’s gonna be another 100 years till grogu is the same age as a human being like a teenager
Grogu gonna show up with a red head band, light the marshmallow, and save the day.
That would be poetic but it won't happen
No chance that happens although wishful thinking.
@@BeauHenri 😂😂😂
there’s nothing i wanna see more than for ahsoka and luke to meet
Yea as well as Rex!! So we can see them tell him and Luke about there father!!
Yes
I sincerely hope they don't know who each other are when they meet. It's going to be very anti-climactic if Ahsoka has already been able to sense who he is. I want to see her reaction when the info is revealed to her.
At least we know that even if they don't meet that luke does know of ahsoka's existence and who she was to anakin
@@nerdwatch2345 yes fam
Just imagine if we see Ahsoka visiting Luke in his new temple after hearing the news about this mysterious Jedi from Bo or Din in her show. And they talk about Anakin and Padme, she’ll learn Anakin redeemed himself, he’ll learn a lot about the old Jedi order, the clone wars, his mother and father. Maybe he can even convince her to return to the order again who knows. All I know this would be really emotional and epic. Force Ghost Anakin watching them from the distance and smiling.... 👌🏼😭
The whole galaxy knows who Luke Skywalker is. Ashoka definitely knew who he was at the time of the rebellion.
Most certanly Ahsoka knew of Luke allready by now but did she met him we don`t know that, maybe she did at some point right after ROTJ, she certantly felt when Darth Vader-Anakin died because she figured from Rebels when she fought him at that Sith Temple that Anakin turned to dark side a became Darth Vader. She even told that to Mando in a way when she refused to traind Grogu that attachement, fear, anger can destroy the best of Jedi meaning Anakin. So she knew-felt Anakin redeemed himself at the end before he died to save Luke.
@@Jackman1st Sure, that's why everyone in that room was like who is this mysterious Jedi... majority in the core worlds most likely heard his name as the hero, some might even think he is a legend and not a real person even, kinda like in the sequels. But I don't think not many see what he looks like, his face. If Ahsoka knew who Luke was, at least if she knew about his surname, there was no reason why she didn't contact him. (Plus if she knew him she would've said to Din something like ''Take him to Luke Skywalker'', but no, she just said there aren't many Jedi left, kinda like she doesn't know he is the one who is training younglings at the moment.) And I don't think she knows this hero is Anakin's son, yet. I hope she doesn't know all the details, because I want to see her reaction to it on screen. Maybe she sensed Anakin's presence again, but she might not know the reason yet. Even if she knew, I still want them to meet.
Aged well😄
I could listen to Theory talk about Anakin for hours. He understands the character so well. I love Vader but Anakin is my all time favorite.
Well when you are overly obsessed with a certain character thats kinda the point. You know the ins and outs of said character. No hate towards anybody like that but thats how he is so knowledgeable about him...from books, to comics and games and movies there is a lot you can learn about a character. Personally I'm an Obi Wan kinda guy and I'm really starting to get into Luke Skywalker more. I haven't read many books and comics ive mainly been the movie and tv show person so im definitely not as all knowing as Theory is but I know enough.
Wookieepedia is a good start
I'd argue he is too blinded by rose colored glasses. But there's no denying that love he has for the character
Eh
I've been thinking about this entire thing for some time. The Luke scene in the last season of Mando was straight out of the classic Hero saves the day at the last moment. No one thought Luke was going to have this moment again after the Sequels, at least not me, especially in any live action orientated show or movie. I was wrong. We see him move with grace and precision, as if he was flow-walking to overcome these Dark Troopers with ease. To see him speak with humility and stoicism, and to also see R2-D2 again alongside him was literally a dream come true. This was such a perfect moment that felt genuine, not forced, and completely true to the story they were telling in Mandalorian. I cried, I smiled, I laughed, and most importantly, I have hope that the future of Star Wars will continue down this path of telling well thought out stories that are given great care and consideration to these characters we know and love.
A New Hope once again comes in the darkest of times.
Mark Hamill was on set filming his part, they used technology to de-age him according to Jon Favreau. Look up yotube: "Jon Favreau talks about the season 2 finale of ‘The Mandalorian’ l GMA". Bet they film him separately so very few crew members knew about the cameo.
I'm gonna assume that was for his face and/or voice only. For the actual body movement two other actors were used.
@@Marescio The point is that it was really Mark Hamill, not just some deepfake. Mark Hamill most certainly did the scenes once Luke entered the room where Grogu was. If Mark Hamill only lent the voice and his likeness then he didn't have to be on set. I bet it is a mixture even with the slaughter sequences, a mixture of Max Lloyd Jones and Mark Hamill. I don't see why they need a stunt man because the actions sequence did not amount to a stunt double. I am even willing to think that it was all Mark Hamill because with technology you can reshape people to any size especially when it was a cloaked figure which disguised the body-shape.
@@cardiodream You have a point.
Hmm possibly, yeah. I just assumed one of the actors was used for the hallway scene, and the other for the bridge scene.
@@Yoda-93 Why hello there, how have things been in the netherworld of the force?
I loved the line.."the dark saber doesn't have power, the story does"
I love this community
Thx
Same
Me too
I am so proud of this community
Me too man
Group chat was going crazy with family members and friends after the episode. My grandpa and dad are huge SW fans, and even they were acting like little kids after seeing prime Luke.
Jon Favreau on GMA 100% says Mark Hamil was on set FILMING. Sorry Josh but you lose this gentleman’s bet
It's honestly amazing how technology has allowed Mark to play Luke again as he was meant to be, while still using deaging and voice synthesis to give us that younger Luke we've all come to admire greatly.
They definitely didn’t use his voice that’s for sure but it looked like Mark was doing everything else.
But they also credited another actor as well. Probably the fighting. But Hamill now is not the same body type or face structure of ROTJ Luke so who knows.
@@kisaragitown3934 100% wrong lol. It was his voice. And he didn't do the stunts
@@csxanatos653 before Jon Favreau was cut off by GMA it looked like he was about to tell us that two actors were involved in the process. He holds up two fingers about to go into it
In regards to the conversation going on in and around 40:03
Another reason the fighting in the prequels are seen as “theatrical” is because this is the Jedi at their prime.
The reason the fighting in the Originals is a little rougher is because this is during an Era where the Jedi Order no longer exists. There isn’t many Jedi teaching other younglings the ways of the force and saber combat in general.
It’s not till after Return of the Jedi when Luke is looking for more knowledge that he develops his fighting style and refines it and tries to bring back that elegance from a more civilized age. This is why that hallway scene in Mando works so well for me is because you can see his progression 100%
Thats honestly changed my perspective completely and actually makes sense instead of the usual "hurr durr cuz its old"
Vader was trained as a Jedi, and as a sith. So it makes no sense for him having no style. Let alone being beaten by Luke, but that is another story. I think you are creating lore explanation for something that doesnt need one. Whatever you think, the true is that they are old movies. Legendary missed kick from Luke also comes from no Jedi teachings? No, it is just an old movie. That is why duels in prequels are destroying OT in this matter.
@@akilisimm I disagree, there are many factors that lead to Vader losing to Luke. He’s not in his prime as Vader during Return, Vader during Rogue One was pretty much at his peak in the suit during that era. Also the amount of pain and torture he has gone through since becoming Vader has affected him greatly. He’s an old man he’s still super strong in the force but he’s no where near where he was in finesse and sheer agility like he was before Mustafar. Also, as Return lays out very clearly he had no intention of beating Luke. He was willing to let his son strike him down. He wanted to die, it wasn’t until he saw his son give up his own life for his father that Vader truly makes the step to redemption. Yes you can say the films are just “old” but it all makes sense. You’re free to disagree and I’m not saying this is fact this is just how I feel after watching the films over the years and reading and watching George talk about all Six films.
At the end of the day film is subjective, even taking George’s word for things is subjective. Once we view the movie in the theater or at home it’s up to us take make our conclusions about what we see and how we feel it all meshes together. So I actually adore that you disagree with how I feel. It’s fun having these types of conversations
@@craskpillord that is why I said vader's lose is another story. I mostly agree with you about this outcome. But IMO it has nothing to do with fighting style, or, to be more accurate, lack of styles. Just like space battles. They look way better in prequels, and there is but one simple reason. Time.
@@akilisimm i agree, the imagery of the prequels are absolute marvels compared to the OT, however despite the technology I think the OT will pass the test of time far into the future. The OT fights are jank, but the faces and stature of the characters just scream dramatic tension, its more of a thriller than spectacle. The prequel duels are just so... Fluid. The only duel I enjoyed from the prequals was anakin and count duku's rematch, that was some real tension. But the duel of obi wan and vader is dragged on and all the tension fades away...
However luke and vader's last duel is legendary its a fight for the ages, the drama, the music, its the culmination of three films. In the end its a story of a father and son, good vs evil, redemption and forgiveness, the oldest story we have, light vs dark.
One thing's for sure - Moff Gideon's cruiser sure had poor quality low budget Black and White CCTVs 😂
Well, they lost two Death Stars so I’d imagine they made huge budget cuts
They were. On a hard budget 😂😂
It was a long time ago.
Even though it looks like it's the future
It's a really long long time ago
When there were knights
And they got into fights
Using sabers of light
And no-one notices...
@@Jenjak yea and they had holograms a long time ago too.
They need to dedicate an entire episode to Luke and Ahsoka meeting, then talking by a fire or some shit while flashing back to moments with Anakin from each other’s pasts with him. 50 min epi. John and Dave make it happen
It would be awesome for luke to find out about padme aswell the man literally knows nothing about his mum
They won’t dedicate a full episode to Luke unless they hire an actor to play him 100 percent,
@@matrixmdog for real he needs to know!
@@alexanderadams9008 I do agree with you. If Sebastian Stan wasn’t playing Bucky Barnes I do believe he’d be casted as Luke though. He literally looks like a clone of young Mark Hamill lol
Did anyone notice that the ending where mando removes his helmet to look at grogu is very reminiscent to the ending of return of the Jedi where Vader looks upon Luke with his own eyes. The father/son relationship is strong with this one
They could build to an epic two part conclusion event film.
Star Wars: Episode 6.5 HEIR TO THE EMPIRE
Star Wars: Episode 6.7 DARK FORCE RISING
in collaboration with Timothy Zahn as a co-writer to re-imagine his story as two films.
also, in regards to Grogu I definitely think we'll see him in The Bad Batch.
Star Wars - Episode 6.25: A New Threat
Star Wars - Episode 6.5 : The New Republic Strikes Back
Star Wars - Episode 6.75: The Return Of the Sith
knowing how mcu pulled off infinity gauntlet, I believe new Star Wars tv series are definitely going this direction.
I think whole Grogu plot point was using his blood to create/clone force sensitive troopers for empire, and main conversion event in either movie or tv series will be whole surviving Jedi/Mandalorians/Rebels vs Thrawn's new army
Real beauty of Mando series is, giving us a new hope, that we may finally see what we've been waiting for
@@mralabbad7 I think you mean episodes 7, 8 and 9.
Then they could make the sequels a what if trilogy and they can be put into canon with the ewok movies.
@@mrshine.2834 well yea, Rebels established that some form of time travel and event alteration. It would be a very plausible way to retcon the sequels AND reintroduce Ezra.
@@WillowTitov Wow... I really need to catch up on Rebels. Never really into animation style so I skipped them, but its turning out that, those animation series will be back born of new franchise looks like
grogu could tell luke that a nice lady named ahsoka helped him and he could seek her out
I loved the "nice lady" line by Din 😄
Man i love the discussion you guys have right in the beggining about the arts and how important they are.....politicians are always trying to remove funding for them right from the start.....but the arts open the mind up to so many things beyond entertainment...music has a mathematical component, writing scripts and lyrics open minds up to writing in general....if people see how the arts can relate to nature you can open up your mind to things like quantam physics.....so the arts are so needed not only for the soul but the mind.....even for people who have mental illness things like music can offer a tool for focus and output for emotions. Anyhow thanks for mentioning that and it makes so much sense why people felt so emotional to see an archetype like Luke expressed the way the character was meant to be....well at least for this part of his life in the time line...although the time line may get blurred when the ashoka series comes out and I'm all good with that heheehhe.
When I saw a Jedi with a green light saber, I assumed it was Ezra, coz I didn’t expect Luke to come. But when I saw Luke’s face I was the most shocked I have ever been except when I watched Star Wars for the first and saw Vader was Luke’s father.
I thought it was Luke the second I saw the X-wing.
There is a jedi with a green lightsaber in a lone x wing. Yup Its pretty easy to guess its luke.
The build up was fantastic. First the x-wing, then the green saber and at last the gloved hand. Amazing
Good ole Luke man. A legend returned turned legend a return
I wasn't sure in the beginning either. But then I saw his distinguisable lightsabber hilt. Also Glove on hand only. I'd be surprised if big fans of Star Wars didn't recognise those things. Some hardcore fans could even tell there was a blue r2 unit on the x-wing haha.
About the whole "The Prequel lightsaber fights were too theatrical/extravagant" point-
In The Phantom Menace, it's literally explained that the Jedi had been nothing but a space peace keeper force for the Republic for about 300 years. Which means it was very likely they hadn't actually engaged in proper sabre combat for that time too, but instead had just been fighting mere criminals/underworld members etc.
So of course, with having little to no conflict, the Jedi would have had 300 YEARS to perfect their Sabre mastery, rather than having to rush out padawans to go and fight in a war of some sort, so with all that time to perfect their Sabre skills, they would naturally produce techniques during fights that have that level of control & Mastery. So why people may think it was all too "theatrical", the fights were actually just right.
People forget the Jedi are actually magic users. The Force is magic. They have foresight. The Force also can be used to augment their physical abilities. All that combined means that we were guaranteed to get the fights we got in the prequels. If we got anything less than what we did, I think many fans would've been a little upset about it.
Theory says he doesn’t see Grogu returning to Din, and I hope he’s wrong.
Grogu and Din were the heart of the story, and as cool as it is that Grogu is with Luke and the Seige for Mandalor will be, I always thought Star Wars was about family, and Grogu and Din become that family.
Their love and bond for each other was why I watched the show, and seasons upon seasons without that foundation feels hollow to me.
Favreau said in an interview that the decision to show Lukes face was last minute, which is why the deepfake doesn't look as good as it could have. Originally they were going to leave the hood of the cloak obscuring his face. So glad they changed it.
Since it's only on streaming service, and no hard copy is made, I hope they spend time and money fix this eventually.
Wow, I'm glad they changed that idea. The idea of handing Grogu over to a Jedi that doesn't show his face - especially with Din removing his helmet in the sam scene - would have been weird, and kind of irresponsible on Din's part.
What they did in the end was better.
We don’t need a Luke Skywalker show, we need a new sequel trilogy that addresses that period of rebuilding the Jedi order. Scrap the current sequel trilogy, it’s pointless working towards making those nonsensical films make sense.
I'm of the opinion we should remove the current sequels from cannon. Just scrap the movies and start over.
I agree they need to say the sequels were a mistake an it doesn't exist..it was a legend told wrong
This is the way
@@haydenmuscha3455 same

Theory deserves the massive channel growth he’s been getting - one of the most genuine channels out there and I love this podcast so much
Theory: "alright, should we go live?"
Also theory: is live
I would love an episode of Ahsoka learning of Anakin’s redemption
This has truly redeamed the Disney Star Wars franchise. The Disney trilogy was awful but this has been excellent!!
Unfortunately they will eventually link the show to the Disney trilogy.
@@adarshvenkateswaran795 she gave the green light for this though she’s the president of LFL anything that happens in the company goes through her
@Mark Booming nah he looked like a video game character but I can forgive them for that because it’s Luke Skywalker
Jon favrao Dave filoni to be the new emperor's of starwars
I feel that the High Republic is Disney's way of apologising after their terrible trilogy. Episode 7-9 should of been based around Luke Skywalker and the New Jedi Order. It should of seen the return of the jedi. Not the insulting Disney movies we got.
Hey Theory, since you didn't read any of my 2 super chats (😔), I'm going to put it here again: Introducing Mara Jade in a Luke's series would be amazing. An enemy for whom Luke feels in love with. That could put him in real trouble!
rip
Word MC
tweet him last i knew he said he will respond when he can.
They have to retcon the sequels now, it would open so many possibilities, use the world between worlds in the ahsoka show to start a new time line,
The problem - the awful sequels, solution - retcon them
There better be a Luke show, Luke movies and reboots of the sequels.
Wipe the sequels by saying they were a dream or nightmare or parallel universe idfk. Lol anything.
It's a shame, because I would have loved to see an older Luke portrayed by Mark Hamill like we had in the sequels... but instead they messed it all up. They had a talented actor who understood the character better than anyone, so much wasted potential.
If you think about it the only thing the Jedi could be blamed for is his mother's death, he wasn't supposed to have attachments like his love for Padme. What's worse is he killed many in attempt of saving her when she dies anyway. Also it's implied like Mace trusted or wouldve granted Anakin the rank of master after his confrontation with Sidious.
You just cannot have both Grogu and Din be together all the time. There is so much that needs to be explored from the Mandalore’s perspective through the eyes of Din, that separating them for a period of time will make their reunion even more special.
Why so many dislikes. I just Love it when these two go ham, nerding out on Star Wars and predecting and theorizing over things
I was listening on Beats Wireless headphones and I heard the same thing in regards to the voice sounding robotic. I was too emotional seeing my favorite character how I remembered him. The Last Jedi took a huge toll. We needed this.
@StarWarsTheory I know there's a fan theory that at some point down the road that using the Veil of the Force Disney will undo the sequel trilogy. So here's my theory is the timeline has already been changed in Rebels when Ezra saved Asoka, she should be dead. However this season we already see the changes in the timeline, first thing is rumors of her existence lead Mando to her. Which helped free a planet but also got him the spear, secondly she told him where to go so Grogu can contact a Jedi with the force. Yes this lead to his capture but I'd argue that the setting may have been different but Grogu would have been captured either way. The rescue would have happened similarly but with two key differences no spear to beat the Droid or stop the Dark Saber and no Luke to save the day. So in the original timeline Luke wouldn't have become Grogu's master and Grogu possibly becoming Ben's Padawan brother. Who knows what effect this will have on Ben. I think we're in uncharted territory the sky's the limit. Either way we'll learn more in the Ahsoka series.
I like it
Luke had a son who was hiding in the unknown regions and he resurfaces to fight the vong after ep9. Like Ben skywalker from legends
Honestly.. If I didn't have a single artistic outlet i.e. Music, Film, Books etc... I would honestly end this version of my life. Now if I never knew great literature or music I obviously wouldn't know what I was missing BUT since I do.. It's legitimately something I cannot live without. May the Force be with you... Always!
The first Star Wars movie I remember seeing as a kid in the early 80s was ROTJ. Seeing Luke again with that bright green lightsaber just made my f-ing day. That's the feeling I think most fans have been seeking and craving for many years now.
2:18:40 That Herbert impression WAS SPOT ON LOL
I need to see Luke and Mara Jade together, now that we've officially entered that era of Star Wars. I hope Jon and Dave makes it happen one day.
I just want to say that a lot of people forget force users in combat are on another level as the ability to fight. In the Bane novel the battles are described in more detail as to the limit that both sides push them self both physically and mentally. Lukes hallway scence was a great way to show the power that can be used by some one that is trained up. I could talk on this topic all day. Thank you both for all the great content.
“Get over here!” Oh wait, “Hello there. Come little one.”
Grogu is a member of the Mudhorn clan.
Armorer called Mando and Grogu a clan of two
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT LET RIAN JOHNSON ANYWHERE NEAR THIS SHOW!!!!!!
Maybe force ghost Anakin trained Luke in his lightsaber form.
Now that would be badass!
Yes!
Luke is the symbol of hope. And with him, Hope has been restored to the Galaxy.
seeing Luke vs Abeloth would be insane!
Waiting here until I see an Anakin hallway scene in Kenobi.
Revisiting these past NerdTheory episodes. This is one of my favorites for sure.
What Theory says about Anakin and his sudden/not-so-sudden journey is absolutely correct. BUT I will say, as a kid that sat in the theater in 1977 to watch Star Wars, George Lucas is not a very good director. He's an idea-man. He's a creator of worlds but as far as crafting a story narratively and visually he is lacking. In a actual director's hands, Anakin's journey could've been as compelling and impactful as Theory states it is. George didn't do it justice and that's why for MANY, Anakin just seems to suddenly turns dark. The prequel Trilogy's story in the hands of Favreau and Filoni would be incredibly different and would only then rise to the heights that Theory feels it already is. ;)
Bro only just watching this now but want to let you know I felt like something beautiful happened when I watched the episode, was right there with them tears of joy, never stop doing what you do for the saga man, you are a true nerra Jedi, may the force be with you always !!
I think it’s good practice not to talk about the sequels unless it’s to bridge the storylines. They are polarizing and divisive, and have been discussed ad nauseum. We have so many other great SW stuff to discuss now that Dave and John Fav have reinvigorated the franchise.
And I agree with Theory about Anakin. He was having a very serious mental health crisis but Yoda and Mace just dismiss it and him to suck it up. Anakin needed compassion (and some counseling).
Theory and Josh are doing great by focusing on the positive. Love you guys!
The Mando 2nd season really jumped forward in quality. Season 1 was a great intro to the bigger galaxy of Star Wars but S2 moved the whole story forward more than anything else since ROTJ in 1983. In 1977 I was a schoolboy of 15 who was mesmerised by George Lucas’ vision, but my kids will tell you now I was as giddy as a schoolboy watching the S2 finale with Luke just ripping apart those Dark Troopers. Thanks John and Dave, Star Wars is finally in safe hands...so awesome! Best wishes from a 58yo long term fanboy. 👍😎
Not a Single ad within over 3 hours? My respect man!
Edit: the ads are here now lmao
Still not as many as I feared
This is the way
The sheer breadth, depth and number of emotional reactions shown on youtube and talked about throughout the *world* is testament to how genuine and *REAL STAR WARS* this was/is. People of all ages, genders and races captured in a series of moments, entirely captivated again and made to feel young.
Do you guys think Jon and Dave will reset Luke’s story by using the world between worlds by pulling him before he looses control and attempts to kill Ben Solo?
I hope so.
Then again, I would reset things closer to the old Expanded Universe if possible. Ben can exist, however, Jacen and Jaina need to come down the road. And Mara Jade needs to appear and be Luke's lover, wife, and partner in the formation of the new Jedi Order.
Miss this show. What a special moment in Star Wars for the fan base as a whole, amazing stuff.
Has anyone figured out who set up Grogus protection from season 1 when he had a bounty on him? If not, it would be nice to find that out in future shows if they go back in time.
Good question. I would love to know who rescued him, who set up his protection AND how he was discovered by the imperials assuming any Jedi left were in hiding.
Yeah, who were the ones who had him when Din found him?
@@skkahl3400 they looked like pirates. Hondo’s pirates even. Maybe Hondo take the baby from a Jedi who he knew and hid him. I think bad batch or Kenobi show will give us an answer to that. Hondo knew Kenobi and Skywalker. I can see a random Jedi saving Grogu too but maybe it was really Obi Wan.
Who wonders is if Sidious/Snoke tried getting into Grogus mind before Ben solos or at the same time?
Very possible
I hope they aren’t even mentioned
@@SPECTRE_Madman same, the minute they go too balls deep into the sequel lore I'm out! Unless it's them confirming that the sequels were just a big dream or alternate reality
@@YoungYonk amen
@@YoungYonk bruh if somethings comes up in the future saying that luke had foresights of things that might happen depending on certain routes leading to something like the sequels, and in doing so making them an alternate possibility, life will be bloody peachy and I don't think my heart could take it
I really hope they tie in all the living Jedi at some point. Luke meeting up with Ahsoka is a big fan wish so that Anakin's son and beloved Padawan can learn for Luke what his father was like prior to corruption & for Ahsoka that he master was redeemed in the end. I'd personally like to know what the force ghosts are upto now too.
Cal Kestis and crew crossing paths at some point could lead to Luke's Jedi academy since Cal is searching for force sensitive kids.
Old man Windu could be somewhere being a grumpy git stuck in his dogmatic lightside ways of the old Jedi order which Luke rejects. Maybe Luke ends up having to defeat him because Mace recognises he is Anakin's son.
Mara Jade must exist somewhere?
“Vader Episode 2 Cinematic coming tomorrow. what?” Love the subtlety in that statement.
They could bring in Mara Jade, her death might be the reason for Luke's moment of doupt in Ben and later exile.
hopefully Lukes way of the Jedi accepts attachments so Grogu can still join Din without some bs about attachments leading to the dark side
Everything Theory said about Aniken is %100 spot on. Couldn't have said it better myself. That's the character of Aniken. My favorite character.✌
If you’re wondering, the Pedro rumors aren’t true. Don’t believe what’s being “reported” it’s all BS
I’m worried about tying in the sequels too much. I know it’s unrealistic, but I still want to see them undone (even though I’m not a hater). It divided the fan base. So I hope they stay clear of the sequels.
I love the passion when discussing Anakin. So true and such a great character.
Loved this stream Theory and Josh You guy's rock, Thank you for breaking down what a lot of people look as bad acting Hayden Nailed it!🎯 watch the video he made about it if anybody has not seen it🙏 and Backing up what George and Nick Gillard did with the Prequel fight's blood sweet tear's! 💪 ☯️ Thanks guy's 👍
Jedi are the guardians of peace and justice. We can always see Luke and Grogu dropping in to save the day.
This is my go to Star Wars talk podcast
I've never been one to watch reaction videos until this happened. Every time I watch it now, I get emotional and it's great!
I really want Timothy Zahn to take care of Thrawn's story.
He is
Zahn wrote Star Wars even better than George Lucas. I want to see some combination of the Mandolorian, Luke Skywalker, Ashoka, and maybe even tiny Groku take down Grand Admiral Thrawn. So epic.
Hey Theory
What if Mando has some force abilities. He seems to be able to sense Moff’s attack and shift his body to block the strike with his jet pack. This would truly make him a Jedi Mandalorian.
I have recon all the sequels from SW. They can be renamed as some other sci-fi movies. They are aesthetically pleasing films, enjoyable even but with no logical flow from the OG storyline and have really bad editing. By episode 9, it was just like a string of video games action sequences. I cannon my own SW films, I decide what is cannon because I am paying for the product.
Same here, as fans we can just decanonize them for our own personal headcanon and that's fine. What are your thoughts on the Mandalorian subtly tying into the sequels? An alternate future with similar characters and storylines but done right? Like snoke and the first order still happen but in a completely different way then the sequel films?
@@Me-fo2hm I hope they don't try to fix the sequels or tie in with the sequels because it is not their problem to fix, some other people made a mess and they are not obligated to fix it and some mistakes can't be fixed or is too costly to fix. However, if they want to , they can to a certain extent, with World between worlds, they can do time jump and create the universe they want. They can have Snoke and first order in a different way for sure. I think Grogu is the key to turn it on its head. You know Snoke is just snake but misspelled. So Snoke is a mistake, a deformed, a failure, even from the start. If Snoke is the wrong, Grogu is the fix. SW is about balance, family sage, bloodline, generational lore. The cycle of life will repeat at the pace that they should.
@@cardiodream Yeah, all really good ideas, I dont know if they will use the world between worlds but I hope so! That opens up room for so much more interesting stories. It's cool how passionate you are about Star Wars, it's not often where you hear of a girl that is super passionate about it. You would make a worthy apprentice.😂
@@Me-fo2hm
“Not often where u hear of a girl that is super passionate”
Do u know any girls?
@@johns4469 If you read the whole sentence and not take it out of context its obvious I am talking about Star Wars, if it'll help you sleep at night I can edit it and I suggest you find something better to do because you must be very bored if your going around UA-cam comment taking things out of context for kicks.
For Rangers of the New Republic... I'd love if it opened with Cara Dune on Endor trying to stop inferno squad from getting off planet. Cara Dune really deserves a heavy trooper skin in battlefront
Love nerding out but these 2 kinda go back and forth like "its this" "no its not its this" a lot lol
UK shout from Scotland. Your videos have kept me going through lockdown man! Good to see Star Wars back on track baby!!
Let's have a long enough time jump that Mark Hamil can actually play Luke again!
i think benidict cumberbatch would be great as thrawn he was amazing in Sherlock and i see thrawn kinda like Sherlock holmes
Give us the Ahsoka and Luke meeting... Give us it!!! We must see it.
3:15:41 made me subscribe to the Den of nerds lol.
Love these, keep it up!
Grogu is yoda's species so it is possible that empire is cloning yoda like the sith lord yoda that would be nuts dark yoda will be impossible to beat
That would be cool, but hoping for them to going for using Grogu's blood to create force sensitive Army for Thrawn is what i was thinking, and re-imagine original Thrawn Trilogy.
I think where S2E4 was at is, Moff Gideon is trying to create force sensitive troopers, and keep failing, because they haven't figure out that the Force itself is interfering creating/cloning Force users.
Eventually, I think Thrawn will figure this out, and find a way to create new force sensitive troopers, and either fighting or preventing this will be main conversion event
@@qkrdldh there was a scene in season 2 in which they show a laboratory so probably they are cloning snoke or creating a jedi killing machine like starkiller
With everything that’s happened the possibilities are endless now. Star Wars is restored. And to quote Kenobi... We’ve taken our first step into a much larger world. Thank You Jon and Dave❤️👏🏼🙏🏽
The Sequels are always in the back of my mind during the Mandalorian. I mean most, if not all, of Luke’s students died; so as stoked as I am in seeing him full Jedi I can’t help but feel frustrated how his story ends. Until they make a series (comics, novels or otherwise) that takes place after the sequels I will never be satisfied and it sucks.
My theory for the Boba Fett series is that it will be like a Revenge Kill List for Boba. Like a list of everybody who has done him wrong since the Sarlacc Pit. And here's why I believe this. With his appearance in "The Tragedy" you could tell that he was seriously pissed at the Imperial Remnant Troopers. Like he had a serious beef with anything wearing white armor. And then how he just offs Bib Fortuna as if he was #1 on his kill list. I can see him and Fennik going out on missions hunting down Imperial Remnant officers.
I think its gonna be more of a backstory showing what happened to him during the Battle of the Pit of Carcoon and showing how he made it out of rhe sarlacc and then coming across Fennic from Mando S1E5 and then going across his journey to find his armor then we will see more current stuff in later episodes. So think of it as Bobas story of his past with current adventures going on.
They are clearly trying to save star wars since the rise of skywalker concluded
Empire strikes back was the first ever film I saw at a cinema, Bobba Fett was my fave char had the figure for years, fave chars were Bobba Fett, r2d2, Han, Yoda, Chewy, Luke. This is the best I've seen since 1st 3 films
Thank you Theory for all your hard work and dedication
I haven’t heard anyone mention that Grogu might remember R2 from his days at the Temple? He was probably a well known figure, as Anakins droid that he treats like an equal.
I feel like they’re doing so well with Star Wars right now that in a few years if John and Dave were to pitch a plan where they de-canonize the sequel trilogy Disney would be open to it.
Keep wishing...Sorry bud but the Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker happened.
@@RebelGaming4U hope
@@RebelGaming4U I will keep wishing.

Arrogant ignorant troll
Go away
There’s some really excellent impressionists and voice actors who can do voices perfectly. Even in the Star Wars audiobooks some of the narrators/voice actors are spot on.
I think it's likely that Faverau and Filoni are playing a long game waiting for Kathleen Kennedy to leave the franchise. I think an alternate future for Star Wars has already been setup. When Ezra saved Ahsoka in the World between Worlds I think we got a divergent future for the franchise and they are doing what they can at the moment but when she leaves they will negate largely ignore the sequel trilogy. They'll incorporate elements of it just like they incorporate legends material but there will come a day when their timeline is very different from the sequel timeline.
Agreed.
I’m hoping
"Grogu will be a Mandalorian and a Jedi Master, at that point he will be unstoppable!" LMFAOOOOOOOOO SO TRUE.
That’s my Jedi master right there
I'm just waiting to see if Luke's jedi temple is actually on Yavin 4 (Canon wise) we all know it was Yavin in the EU but I need to know if there sticking by it.
