"If you are receiving this, that means you are alive." You don't say.

I would also be delighted if you decided to tackle the clone Wars. As Travis says, it's a lot.

The black stormtroopers are death troopers. They are far more deadly and accurate than the typical imperial trooper and only accompany high ranking imperial officers.

The child using force choke is a sign the child is learning from its surroundings. It watches mando kill with out hesitation, so it believes this is the way. Another reason the empire might want it would be to lead the child down the dark side. However, Mando has good traits too and the child reflects this compassion. The child seems to be going down the path of a grey jedi. Funny enough Asoka Tano is the only other well known gray jedi alive and is set to appear in Season 2.

I recommend "The Clone Wars" (animated) during episode 3. Would be long, but would show you more about Anakin and his padowan Ashoka Tano (rumored to be in next season 2 of Mandalorian).

And it was TORTURE! :D (The waiting, I mean.)

Natalie Gold

I recognized him, but didn’t put two and two together as I saw Breaking Bad years ago

Natalie Gold

Haha nope!

FYI they did not have enough budget for costumes so they enlisted the help of a local Star Wars fan group that came in and played many of the extra Storm Troopers with their own homemade outfits.

You really need to pay attention to the casting of this show and the production crew. Directors of the episode come from everywhere. Taika Waititi directed, acted and voice work on various episodes. Some of the storm troopers are famous actors hidden behind the masks. Three directors played XWing pilots. There is a big feed of content and creativity from The Clone Wars cartoon and other Star Wars properties. Mandaloran is a fun series.

wooah. new intro is lit!

I went and looked up whether or not those winged creatures were, as you suggested, mynocks. According to wookiepedia, they are not, and the species has not yet been named. Those black clad stormtroopers are called death troopers, and they play a bigger role in one of the films you've yet to watch. It was sweet that you cried when Baby Yoda heals Greef. It was my fourth time watching, and that moment gets me weepy every time.

NobleSon32

Cant wait for episode 8! Its soooooooo good!!

Mikael Cham

Will you be reacting to Season 2 as it releases?

Chaz Mannington

Daniel Green: I bow to your greater knowledge of this subject. Thanks for your information and fandom of this wonderful world.

Daniel Green

The droid in Empire was actually IG88. I still have the toy somewhere in my cupboard! Same model, but not the same droid.

JediLounger

Good stuff Natalie. You asked for other suggestions for your list, and I would ask that you add Lovecraft County to it. Only 2 episodes out so far and I am hooked.

Michael G. Munz

You've seen Breaking Bad, if I remember right? Did you recognize Giancarlo Esposito/Gus Fring as Moff Gideon?

SendingRavens

Love the intro!

Chaz Mannington

Fun fact about the IG 11 bounty hunter droid: you first saw him in Empire Strikes Back in the scene where Darth Vader was talking to a bunch of bounty hunters. The crew constructed the droid from parts salvaged from the Mos Eisley cantina. Next time you look at the cantina you’ll totally see it.

This episode premiered a couple days earlier than usual on Disney+ because of the opening release of The Rise of Skywalker. This episode introduced a plot element that would be heavily utilized in TROS.

Hey Natalie, since you already watched the season finale, were you able to spot the cameos by Jason Sudeikis and Adam Pally?

Jesse Arnold

Great episode and react video. If you get a chance, the Behind the Scenes series for the show is also on Disney+. Not suggesting as a react, but so very worth watching!
