Doesn't really change that they were getting their rears handed to them. Without that "trap" they would have all been killed. Opening that door would have been suicide for the imperials and Bo could have gotten them out and/or in a position to kill imperials and save Din.
Think the guard could have taken all of the mandalorians out? Especially with Bo and the saber? One guy pretty much killed all the regulars.
I think that the other Mandalorians were being minimally successful and the guy with the big gun was the only real threat. They took him out rather easily. Given the way that it played out I'd say that there were more regs on hand than we saw. Gideon held the Imperial Guard in reserve, apparently for demonstration purposes and, like I said, he was displaying his new toys. He has an ego, but clearly isn't stupid. This was planned.
Or, they simply would have shot him in the head and killed him instantly. Cutting through the front glass would have been a death sentences for Din.
It may be going back to earlier editions, but I always felt that dumping INT was the paladin's thing.
So shoot him in the head. That's what the beskar is for. Remember, this would have happened well before they grabbed him and took his stuff off. He fought for a bit. MUCH longer that it would have taken for her to cut 3 or 4 holes in the glass for them to shoot or throw grenades through.
Umm, you realize that as soon as she starts to cut holes in the front, they just open the door and shoot them all dead, right. They're pinned in a tiny room with only one exit and no cover. Since it was the Imperials that closed the door, you do understand that they can reopen it right?
The first thing to do before you start cutting is to disable the door controls.
