Mando season 3

[Ruin Explorer]

I note the Mandalorians finally "got me" - I technically care more about more Mandalorian characters than I do about as many Jedi characters at this point. I'm genuinely interested in what happens to Bo-Katan, Din, and Sabine, so that's three (let's X out Grogu as he's arguably both Mandalorian and Jedi or could become either or some other thing), but the only Jedi I care much about at this point is Ezra Bridger - Ahsoka Tano is very much not a Jedi by her own repeated accounts (though does the lady protest too much?), and I'd like to see more of Rey but I suspect that's decades away (also is she even a Jedi? I guess if Luke was she is).

This after decades of being all "Ugh why are people obsessed with the Mandalorians?! What is wrong with them?"!

The next question is, are they going to fight the Mythosaur? Din still needs a souvenir to take back to his clan as proof of quest completion, and a piece of living (or recently deceased) mythosaur would be pretty compelling. And since the original Mandalore defeated one, for Bo Katan it would qualify as quite possibly an even better proof of worthiness than the darksaber.

I don’t think they’re supposed to fight it. They’re supposed to tame and ride it.

This harks back to the very first episode, when Din was struggling to tame Kuiil's blurrg, and Kuiil comments: "You are a Mandalorian. Your ancestors rode the great mythosaur. Surely you can ride this young foal."

Boba riding the rancor could be seen as a bit of foreshadowing as well.

I would need to watch the scene again, but when Din was taking gear off before entering the water, did he remove the dark saber from his boot? If not, then maybe that weird weight thing it has kicked in once he was under water, even without the blade activated, and that is what pulled him down so quickly?

Or the Mythosaur dragged him down. Or the fact that he stepped off a shelf while wearing armour. Or...

Like someone else posted, physics says he would never have just sunk to the bottom before a jetpack-boosted Bo-Katan would have caught him, so his sinking was "assisted" by something.

I mean, yeah physics says that but remember it's a TV show, so I think we'll need to hear it from Din.

I have to say - I was expecting it to take most of this season for Din to actually get to the mines, so now that he's already done it in episode 2, I'm a little at a loss as to where the rest of the season will be heading (aside from some vague sort of reunification of the Mandalorian people).

Moff Gideon will be back this season to cause more trouble.

OK. I just rewatched all the trailers. It looks like Gorian Shard's pirates will attack Nevarro, and the Mandalorians will come to the city's defense. There are also some scenes of Dr Pershing on Coruscant, and there are some scenes of Bo-Katan's ship being chased by TIE fighters on what looks like Kalevala. Oh, and there's another of Grogu's Order 66 flashbacks.

Then there's that New Republic guy Carson Teva saying that "there's something dangerous happening out there, and by the time it becomes big enough for you to act, it'lll be too late." That is probably what we'll end the season on - the reveal of that threat, whether it's Thrawn or the First Order / Snoke.
