The Book of Boba Fett (spoilers)

[MoonSong]

Even Yoda's lightsaber looks a bit big for Grogu at this point in time.

But even without that I think we all know what Grogu's decision will be...

I think it is a test of character. How it is meant to go, I don't know.

If I was writing, it should be take a third option and pick both.

Poor Grogu. He didn’t look happy about the choice Luke gave him at the end there. Which one will he choose? We probably won’t find out till Mando S3.

Luke: "You take the chain shirt, the training ends, you wake up on Navarro and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the lightsaber, you stay in Far, Far Away, and I show you just how deep your powers go."

Grogu: "Okay, but what if I take the frog?"

Is justified xerif dude dead?

Nah, they're establishing just enough doubt about him and the townsfolk that they'll be able to make a here-comes-the-cavalry entrance during the big fight.

I knew it was going to be a mithril beskar shirt like Frodo's!

I get why Luke doesn't want him to have both - because the armor will forever remind him of Din, which is an attachment, which is something Luke doesn't want him to have. But come on! He needs that armor to keep him safe from the Knights of Ren!

Was anyone else hoping Grogu's memory would be of the Yoda species homeworld, not of the attack on the Jedi Temple?


EDIT: Hey, did anyone spot Ahsoka's spirit owl anywhere? I'll have to watch this episode again to see if it's hiding in a tree somewhere like last time. I'm fairly certain they're building towards something -- either Ahsoka is the Daughter (at least in spirit) or the Daughter survived and is watching over her. I wonder if that connection is how / why Ahsoka's purified lightsaber crystals turned white.

 

[MarkB]

I do wonder just how much good a Beskar chain shirt will do. Is it enough coverage to stop blaster bolts? It's too flexible to do much good against heavy bludgeoning or piercing weapons.

In fact, the most credible protection it would offer is against lightsabers.

I want Grogu to have both Yoda's Lightsaber and the Beskar Shirt! I'm sure he's going to end up picking the Beskar Shirt, probably in the next episode so he can be returned to Mando in time for his own show to start up again, but I can just imagine him wearing Mandolorian Armor, jumping around a battlefield, and fighting off enemies with Yoda's small lightsaber.

 

[MarkB]

So, Yoda didn't actually give Luke his lightsaber at any point on-screen. Is it something that happened off-screen, or are we thinking Luke ransacked his hovel after he evaporated?

IIRC, we never saw that Yoda had a lightsaber until the Prequel Trilogy. It wasn't shown on Dagobah in Episode V or VI. So, Luke probably went through Yoda's stuff after he died, either before facing Vader or off-screen sometime after Vader's funeral.

 

[Bolares]

Wouldn't you go look for Yoda's lightsaber?

I had the mental image of him holding the lightsaber then falling over with it on top of him.

So I guess a cool antihero type series with Boba Fett tracking down bounties, getting involved with politics, competing against other hunters, etc. was too much to hope for.

One episode left and he was barely in the last two...and he hasn't done anything particularly cool yet. Oh well.

How could the marshal not know who Boba Fett was? He was on retainer for Jabba during the marshal's lifetime. There's a bunch of weird stuff like this.

At least Mando's still cool.
