The Mandalorian Chapter Eleven Spoiler Discussion

Btw, her helmet looked glorious in live-action.

They way it kept the "sharpness" from the cartoons, was so delightful.

According to WookieePedia, Simon Kassianides played AXE WOVES.

It took me forever to place his face... he was in 007 - QoS. He looks like he could be a clone-variation to Jango Fett. It's crazy how much he looks like a younger Temuera.

Since this episode makes it pretty clear the show will eventually take us to Mandalore itself, I hope we see the throne room, or what's left of it at least.

 

[The Infernal]

I didn't think they would address the subject of Djarin being the product of a cultish offshoot of the Mandalorians this soon, but it surprised me to see how ignorant he seemed of it himself.

 

[Drizzle]

Good episode. It was cool to see Bo Katan in live action.

 

[Filmfan93]

This episode was absolutely amazing and miles above previous week's one.

Also, Bryce is redeemed in my eyes - this blew away the episode from Season one directed by her, in terms of directing, storytelling and production design.

Seeing Bo-Katan in live action made me instantly want to re-watch CW/Rebels and just the name drop of Ahsoka caused goosebumps.

I am not too optimistic we will see her next week (with Weathers directing), but Filoni at the helm the week after... well

Not only that but a cultish offshoot of the already cultish Death Watch. I hope we get some details on how and when their specific sect of Death Watch came into being, the armorer certainly looks like she may have at one point served Maul.

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

Dude is an incredibly underrated high-level actor. He acted the hell out of that Imperial Captain, just a bit part. A minor one-off villain in one episode who dies right off the bat. But he did amazing. There are no small parts!

OK, I remember now. He was the Quantum agent who was Vesper's old boyfriend. I don't know why but I thought it was the actor who played Del Meeko from Battlefront 2 at first. Different actor, TJ Ramini

Episode gets better and better with each viewing

 

[TheVileOne]

Yeah this was definitely a standout episode. I will never tolerate any slander of Bryce Dallas Howard's work!

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Never watched any of the animated shows so this episode didn’t do much for me sadly.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Yeah this was definitely a standout episode. I will never tolerate any slander of Bryce Dallas Howard's work!

She did an incredible job

I don’t understand the hate she got for last season’s episode she directed. It may have been the weakest episode of the season but that had nothing to do with her directing. That entire showdown with the AT-ST near the end was very well done

 

[Karelia]

Loved the episode. Seeing Bo Katan in live action was awesome! Loved the opening with the ship landing-ish... good SW humor haha.

I can't WAIT to see Ahsoka.

2 of the things on my wish list for this season was Boba and Ahsoka. So this has been great so far.

 

[Astro13Zombie]

I loved this episode so much.m
I was hype from beginning to end. Jetpack action always gets me and Mando just eating those blaster shots was awesome.

Never watched any of the animated shows so this episode didn’t do much for me sadly.

I haven’t watched much of the animated shows. Definitely not far enough to recognize characters from them, but this was still an incredible episode.

 

[Iceman]

This episode was awesome. Bo Katan didn't disappoint and seeing the 4 of them fighting together was just pure joy. I thought I recognised Sasha banks. Had no idea she was going to be in this show. I hope we see all these guys again.

 

[Herolee10]

I hope this episode is a precursor of what's to come.

Watching the past three episodes really reminded me that we haven't seen much from the promotional trailers.

 

[Iceman]

Episode gets better and better with each viewing

It's a short and sweet episode so very easy to rewatch. From the first 3 I'd be most inclined to rewatch this one.

 

[Broseph44]

I just freaking love this show. That is all

I'm not even sure I'd call it the weakest. I think maybe the whole Seven Samurai/Magnificent Seven plot, a little derivative? yes. But other than that, I like how it developed Din Djarin as a character. We saw a more vulnerable side from him with Omera (Julia Jones, the widow). You almost got the sense that maybe he could stay there and take his helmet and armor off. You also learned that he's been following this code since he was taken in by the Mandalorians.

He's not just wearing literal armor around others, he also wears proverbial, figurative armor as well. I found it very sweet and touching.

Plus the episode also introduced us to Cara Dune.

LOL, am I now simping for Bryce Dallas Howard? Some might say it, but yeah, I liked her work in S1.

 

[Marvolo]

I like that Gideon and his people are also zealots.

Bo was perfect.

The show needs to find a new way of framing the episode stories. Im getting tired of Mando going to a new location for something and finding a quest giver.

I really wish they would stop with these short episodes.

 

[Sithborg]

I'm glad we have clarity now on the different Mandalorian factions. Bo-Katan is still alive and needs the Dark sabre back.

Something happened to Mandalore. Got glass bombed or whatever. Bo-Katan wants it back?

So:
New Mandos
Death Watch
Mauldalorians
And now, Children of the Watch.

Works for me.

Mandalorians don't crack!

Boba confirmed to not be Mando!!!!

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.

I desperately want a book of the time Obi-wan and Qui-gon were protecting Satine. So much great potential there. Between the Obi/Satine stuff, but more Obi/Qui-gon stuff. And then some more Mando stuff. As much as people seem to hate Lucas for invalidating the Traviss fanwankery, I really do like the new Mando lore that is being established.

Good episode. Loved seeing all the Mon Cal and Quarrens on the water planet. The poor Razercrest is going to need an upgrade similar to what the Mando's armor got last season. Loved seeing Bo-Katan in live action again. And her companions were fun as well, if I just wish their armor was a bit more colorful from Death Watch standard blue. Also nice to see the Gozanti cruiser in live action, albeit without carrying the TIEs. And it is interesting bit with Gideon, as it sounds like he has more forces than I originally thought. Short, but still good. Hope Bo-katan and her squad returns.

The trick is, I'm not so sure Moff Gideon is as much of a zealot as he's inspired within his subjects.

Aight, sitting down for this episode

- Mon Calamari!

- I like the big dinosaur-looking droid (?) thing that salvaged them out of the water

- Do Frog Lady and her husband ever notice they've got a few less eggs than they started out with?

- Did I detect some emotion in Mando's voice when they rescued The Child?

- They did a great physical job translating Bo-Katan to live-action

- I like how shocked and offended Mando is when other Mandalorians and/or people he assumes to be Mandalorians just casually take their helmets off.

- When you think you're part of the only group of Mandalorians in existence, then find out you've been raised all along by a cult of rogue religious fanatics...

- Among characters experiencing a sudden midlife inner crisis, he handled that marginally better than Inspector Javert in Les Mis. Up in the sky instead of off a bridge.

- I did Nazi that coming, but the idea of different factions of Mandalorians, and him finding out the ways he was raised with aren't the be all end all he's always believed could be interesting both for worldbuilding and for his own internal conflict/character arc. Could we eventually get Pedro Pascal's face onscreen more than one scene per season max? Or is it true he's leaving after this?

- "He didn't kill your brother.....I did". Bad-ass.

- Hoo boy, putting The Child and the eggs together in the same room again. Where's a Star Wars character to say "I've got a bad feeling about this"?

- Yay, some Stormtroopers and old school-looking Imperial officers. My nerdy SW heart is a flutter.

- Oh hai, Titus Welliver. He wears the uniform well.

- Sci-fi cyanide capsule?

Gideon himself just seems pragmatic.
