The Mandalorian Chapter Eleven Spoiler Discussion

[TheVileOne]

Well that more than made up for last week.

I am SO glad she's not dead and only shown in flashback as many predicted.


I don't remember if they suggested her age in TCW, but I always thought she was meant to be quite young there (like 20-22-ish), so with this being 5 years after RotJ, I was thinking she'd be right around 50 now.

Mandalorians don't crack!

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Also looks like Banks wasn't Sabine. Really hope we see Sabine when Din finds Ahsoka.

Call it a hunch, but I think Sabine might be with an actual Jedi, and his name isn't Luke Skywalker.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

If the timeline I've seen is accurate, this show is 5 years after RotJ, 28 years after the end of the Clone Wars.

Somewhere between 5-7. I always assumed that at the end of TCW, Bo would have been in her late 20s, just based on Satine's age. Like they didn't look like they had a decade between them, and Satine would need to be in her mid to late 30s, to match up with her "young love" situation with her Obi.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Wow, it's so sad that Darth will never get to fill in his first post in this thread due to his ban today. Especially as this is the third best piece of media in Star Wars history, behind the Clone Wars finale and Dr. Aphra comic and infinitely above that boring Empire Strikes Back movie.

 

[TheVileOne]

Sasha Banks was KOSKA REEVES.

Definitely not Sabine Wren. She was credited with her real name, Mercedes Varnado.

Did anyone find the name of Simon Kassianides' character?

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Another underwhelming episode...

I am just not experiencing the same made I experienced from season 1.

 

[Nathaniell]

I was surprised by how early we see bo katan in this season. So cool. This episode gets two thumbs up from me. Oh katee. ❤❤❤

 

[TheVileOne]

According to WookieePedia, Simon Kassianides played AXE WOVES.

 

[TheVileOne]

Whoever suggested earlier that Death Watch likely orchestrated what happened to Din Djarin's home world, I'd say that's very possible.

Bo-Katan Kryze was KIND in her assessment of Death Watch.

Well she used to be one of them, so that's hardly surprising.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Well she used to be one of them, so that's hardly surprising.

She's living her American History X, and it is going as well as you'd expect.

I am really, really glad that hardness she had before, isn't gone. The woman is going to do, what the woman's got to do.

 

[TheVileOne]

You could almost say that Din Jarin's way is the WRONG WAY.,

 

[TheVileOne]

*Sigh*

Star Wars: The Mandalorian Theory Suggests Baby Yoda Wasn't Actually Eating Those Eggs

Nope.

 

[Nathaniell]

Lol. The episode clearly showed him shoving those eggs in his mouth. Lmao

 

[TheVileOne]

Well she used to be one of them, so that's hardly surprising.

Did Clone Wars ever really address the falling out of Bo-Katan and Satine? Did she not care that ousting her sister would likely mean her death? Or did she convince herself that Satine would be peacefully removed from power and be allowed to walk away with her life?

 

[TheVileOne]

Some people were saying he was "protecting them" and would regurgitate them safe and sound later.

I don't think they directly said, but I got the impression that since she was so close with Pre Vizsla, that would ensure that her sister's life would be spared out of respect. Of course, that would've kinda hinged on Vizsla surviving.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Moving on from the egg drama....


....Yeah, this was a great ep. Felt like a live action version of a later season episode of Rebels.

Carl Weathers is directing the next one featuring Greef and Cara, so I guess that’ll be another side quest before Ep 5/Dave Filoni/Ahsoka.

"Oh its you....its been a long time. Why are you helping now?"

"An enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"there was a time when we weren't enemies. Perhaps that time has come again."

Satine and Bo

I've always been under the impression that they were really close before their political views tore their bond apart and they went their separate ways. Satine went on to rule as the Duchess of Mandalore while Bo joined the ranks of Death Watch.

So Bo-Katan viewed her own sister as an enemy and was willing to sacrifice her if it meant restoring the ancient traditions?

Something a long those lines but i wish there was more that could explain their relationship better instead of it just being one sided. I dont think she ever truly hated her sister and didn't want anything to happen to her. One theory could be that Bo joined Death Watch to keep tabs on them and what they're up to but again...we don't know exactly what ripped her closeness with her sister apart. Maybe she bargained with Vizla so that nothing would harm her sister in some way. Who knows. I don't expect much to see if any mention of Satine and her rule will be mentioned in any upcoming episodes of the Mandalorian.

 

[StarLord]

It was fun. Nice to see Titus Welliver in there too!

 

[P Supreme]

Titus Welliver is a favorite of mine glad to see him as well not a fan of the decreasing runtimes but can't complain about anything else

 

[flickchick85]

Maybe it was more of an Anakin/Amidala version of “young love.”

 

[KaijuDude1992]

Ok now I really want to watch Clone Wars/Rebels after this episode and will probably start as soon as this season is over with next month. Katee Sackhoff and her crew was just badass here and damn did Sasha Banks look good in that armor. I was definitely not expecting to see such a big character like Bo-Katan this early in the season or for them to delve even deeper into more Manda-lore, but it ended up being a pretty great reveal/surprise.

It's honestly hard for me to believe that Bryce Dallas Howard directed this episode, because man was this a step up from her episode from last season. Now, I didn't hate that episode or anything but it was one of the weaker ones IMO, but it already looks like she learned from her mistakes from last season which is exactly what I wanted to see. Really cool seeing Titus Welliver show up too in such a fitting role as well as that brief appearance from Moff Gideon.

Loved hearing all the Darksaber stuff and Baby Yoda was actually appropriately cute this episode without all the egg eating which was a nice change of pace from the last episode, especially the bit with him at the table with the Frog lady, her husband and newly hatched offspring. It was just a great episode overall and on par with the premiere and the length/pacing didn't bother me at all even if I would have liked it to be even longer.
