 Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mando. Oh. It's a really cool spin. The Hando. I'm all dizzy after that spin. More like Blando, because there's nothing exciting or interesting about this show. What do you mean? We thought episode three had a heartbeat in it. Did it? Oh, yeah, yeah, that one did. But that doesn't have anything to do with Mando. That somehow is like a show with a story that snuck into the other show. You got lost. This is like the good version of what happened in the Boba Fett show, where the Mandalorian episodes snuck in. This is like that, but good. I think it would have been considered much stronger as a good if it had a bunch of other stories on top, being as alone what it is. I can't believe it. Well, that's there, I guess. Make that anthology. Give some talented writers some anthology. Well, the lady showed back up in episode five, rags. I know. But it was almost like a cameo. It didn't. No, she was like, oh, we don't like Navarro. Because episode four was the goofy like just repeat of episode one, I guess. What was that? Repeat of parts of episode one. You know, just like big monster kill it. And then, yeah, five was when we did the last episode. And it was the Mando's save Navarro. And they now live there. But also, Bo-Katan is going to lead the Mando's to becoming, I don't know, whole Mando-y. And I hope this is the episode where they find they go back to Mandalore. That's clearly fine. I don't know if we're ever going back to Mando. No, shut up. That's so funny, though, right? You can take your mask off because you're a leader. It's like, why couldn't Mando have been that? What's the requirement? It's like, you have to have seen the mythosaur. Is that why they knocked out Mando, so he couldn't have seen the mythosaur? I think now looking back, that may have been exactly why they did that. Because it made no sense at all. Pressure either he takes in water or he doesn't. You can't have both. I just love as well. You could just be making it up. Or she could actually have saw bullshit and thought it was a mythosaur. But it's like, whatever. You could just be our leader now. This was directed by Ryan Johnson. It would have been some crap like that. Or it was like, actually, no, the mythosaur wasn't there. I just fucking lied to you. Speaking of directors, this one, this one we're about to watch, is done by Bryce Dallas Hallard, who created the episode in season one that made us all go, holy fuck, this show's dead. That's the fourth episode. Yeah, the fourth episode, yeah. So, boy, what a thing. Comment showcase currently unavailable. Shall do it the next we are available able. Instead for now, we shall basically just jump into the episode, I think. Hell yeah. It was fine with me. I just loved it. I've been waiting all week. You are not Mandalorian. God, that was cringy, wasn't it? You are not Mandalorian. Yeah, remember those other characters that were with her? Does that mean he just didn't know about the Mandalorians? The Darksaber again. It must be one in battle. I guess so, yeah. Are we doing another fucking Voketan Darksaber episode? Again? Oh, definitely, right? Just stop to what we did with the last episode. She's getting the Darksaber this episode. I know, so preemptively, because this will definitely come up. I just, I can sense it in my brain hole. What makes the Darksaber heavy? Is it like some kind of like confidence? Yeah, you have to believe yourself or whatever. That's so stupid. I'm pretty sure they mentioned it in season two that like you're not good with the Darksaber because you don't have confidence with it. Or in Boba Fett. It's in Boba Fett, the episode four or whatever. It gets heavier with each move. That is because you are fighting against the blade. Dude. He keeps using it, even though it's fucking the Darksaber. Well, it's pretty damn powerful, but you should do that. Why does it not weigh him down when the blade is out, though? It has to be out for it to be heavy, Rags, you idiot. Our people have strayed. Wow, so this is just gonna be a Voketan episode done. Also, I love her character. We said this would happen. We said there'd be a POV for her. Please, it's going off to bring other Mandalorians in exile to us. None of you can go and you have to keep your helmets on. Is there anything Mandalorian as a show is only designed to grow and then send off other characters into their own shows? This is like the, I don't want to say fertile soil, but it's like the wet napkin in the kindergarten class. You know what it is, Rags, you know what it is? When a baby is like, ooh, chocolate. Yeah, chocolate, you put it real close to the mouth and then you throw in a different thing right at the end. And they're like, what the fuck? And they're just like, look, Mando, you like him. Pew, pew, oh, yeah, look, that's cool. Ah, Voketan. Like, wait, what is this? And then Mando appears right at the end of the episode. Like, I'm here though. And you're like, okay. Oh, yeah, I like this then, yes. Yeah, this is great. I saw the thing. Oh, that ship looks like the gun from Fifth Element. Yeah. That's actually a neat looking ship. I like it. I kind of like it too. Is everything we drink around here fucking blue? It's a fish in there. Oh, you are not. Oh, are you going to pour that in there? Okay. Oh wow, the fish wanted to die. I can't hear you. Be louder. Gesture with your tentacles. I still don't know why the only one needs to be the tank. At least we're getting alien stuff. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's where the budget goes in this show. Why is she in the tank though? Because they're fish people and they do tank water and stuff. They need tank time. I guess that's interesting if they need water or something then the little cylinder pops up for the captain because the captain has to like be present or something. I don't know. That's something. That's a neat little thing. Pale imperial friends. Man, your clothes look very dry. Considering that you're just consumed by liquid. I am not a criminal. I meant to say that we were not aware of the majestic imperial presence in this sector. Wow, that's simple. Now you're just sucking her guts, let's stop. We are not imperial either. It's the mandos, yay. We are Mandalorian. You're too late to hire us. Someone has hired. Oh, God, hey, ladies back. We've been commissioned to track you down, Captain Sugath. Why would you tell her that, not just fucking open fire? We were already hired by a certain Mon Calamari viceroy who has reason to believe you absconded with her son. Oh, OK. So they have captured someone. We finally have peace with the Calamari. Are we doing like Troy here? By the way, I don't believe that those sounds are coming out of that mouth. No, not even close, but that's OK. I won't go. I won't go. Wait, so they kidnapped the child of the leader of the Mon Calamari and thought they could get away with it? I guess. Because they're in love? Hey, lady, no. All right, so just go with the Mandalorians and your chick will be alive and you could meet up with her later. Don't make us damage your girlfriend's pretty little ship. Yeah, like, seriously. You already said it. The ship was too heavily fortified. Just go and then try to meet up later. What a crazy, bad idea that they thought they could get away with. I can't destroy everything I've built for a childish fling. You literally were. That's what you just did. Yeah, you've already on the way. Well, yeah, but now there's like stakes and potential repercussions. I just mean like, wow, this is if they were trying to reach a level of peace with the Mon Calamari, this is going to set it back quite a bit. Come with us, Prince. You can do it. Oh, you're here. OK, hello. Wait, yeah, did they just allow them? OK, Captain didn't give any orders. OK, well, that's about how it should have ended. All right. Yeah, fair enough. I just I'm surprised they ever would have tried that shit. What a stupid idea. Wushing. The sound effect I always enjoy in space. This is a Star Wars rags. It's shaking all the time. Yeah, because you know how whenever you're on the ground looking up, you're just shaking. Oh, I just love shaking. No. That's quite a fleet. Most of it was captured from the Empire. Yeah, you mentioned they treaded midi for it. Could come in real handy taking back Mandalore. From Mandalore. Nobody has Mandalore. No one cares. People, now you're just being a jerk. If you think you need a warship. Just bring a guy. Just bring like a lighter and say that you're on fire. I'm your god. Axe Wolves is their leader now. Can imagine wolves will be happy to see you. Yeah, I guess he's trying to get they got to get help from those mandos, even though she's got to have the dark sabre, though you've been assigned a docking flip. Why didn't they leave Baby Yoda with the mandos? Green time. What happened? They've taken control of the ship. Do you have an anti that on your ship? This could be dangerous. It probably will. I'm sure there'll be blasters and shit. Oh, yeah, it's gonna be like, oh, as a democracy or something such and so you have to give us your weapons and go on a tour and they're like, oh, we want to go over there and the people are going to be like, no, you got to do a job for us. I just want to talk to the mandos, but something's going to get in the way that fills the half hour. I guess each of those robots got a hundred kills. That's why they unlock the black. Yeah, pretty sweet. They're badass. Why do they have imperial droids on an independent world? We just established there is a series of empireships on this planet that she stole. Why wouldn't there have been several empire droids on those ships? Also, what do you mean? It's an independent world. Yeah, I guess so. He says it's an independent world. Why would they be empire droids? Like, because the empire fell apart. Yeah, because we bought their shit. It was cheap. Do you grant permission to scan your chain code? What did button did you press to make that happen? The mind button. Your presence has been requested. Please do not attempt to leave the vehicle. Oh, we're being kidnapped. Nice. What if Din Jiren started to vomit because some people like that with, you know, some people, if they're like in a train or something and they're sitting facing backwards, it makes a motion sick. Well, then he's got to take the helm off, throw it back on and then drip a bit of water on him. You could just slip it up and spew it out and then slide the helmet back on. As long as he's got his little capsule of living waters, he can sort himself back out straight away. They're like quasi being kidnapped. Yeah, can't believe how much fucking time we wasted on getting him remandalified. Like, what was the point of all that? Nothing. Oh, my gosh, it's Jurassic Park. See Jack like already. Yep. Oh, it's one of the frog people from the second episode, second season, first episode. Look at him. Yes, that's the frog people. Oh, look, it's a creature from Scorn. There's a lot. Yeah, look at him. Yeah, yeah, that's great. Thanks to the New Republic Amnesty Program, I was able to help rebuild Plaza 15. That's the accent. My husband came here as part of his rehabilitation. Wow, was that like two things stitched together? Was that line to stitch together? Distracting me. I'm glad that you guys are having a good time. This feels really like there was a house party where you dress up as a Star Wars and you come and have fun. And then they recorded it. She's like, oh, God, I'm being attacked by a baby. I just going to assume the baby can eat this food. Yeah, why not? Fuck it. Because that's what you do is when other people show up with a baby, you just start feeding it random shit. And the Mandalorian privateer worships. We hire them for protection. Our charter forbids us from having a military because of my husband's. You're not allowed a military to be allowed to hire mercenaries. Metal knows all about this. How does that work, though? You're not allowed a military to be allowed a big group of fleet and soldiers as long as you pay for them mercenaries. I guess if it's small enough, it's like how it works in real life. If you lose a war or something, you can have like a security detail or something like that, but you can't have like a proper military. It depends on what you have. I guess they're not like huge, but they're still pretty big out there. They've got like the they've even got a capital ship. They've got the Star Destroyer as well. We have a problem. A droid problem. We're kind of a droid problem. Malfunction. Well, there's your sidequests, Rags. We have a droid problem. What's that thing following her? Is that part of her dress? Is this like a fucking... Oh. Like, is this like a cosmetic you buy from an MMO? Yeah, yeah. Our constables are ill-equipped to confront battle droids. Great, this sounds like a you problem. Can we talk to the Mandalorians? Former battle droids. They've been rehabilitated for civic duty. You don't have to rehabilitate a droid. How does that make you... Just reprogram it. You just give it programming. Our charter forbids any standing army from entering our city. Our constables aren't even allowed to carry blasters. But you can hire... Okay, you can't carry blasters, but you can hire Mandalorians in a warship. Okay, you lost me. You allowed us to be armed. You are Mandalorians. Weaponry and armor are intrinsic to your culture. Are they not? It's because it's a part of their... That's such a huge loophole, dude. You don't allow any guns here. Unless it's a part of your culture. Like, oh, it is there. We have decided that this is part of our culture. Yeah, exactly. I'm a gloop-of-loom. I need my cannons, okay? It's my religion. What two planets? Why do I give a shit? Why would Mandalorians give a damn about what these people think? They have no clue. This is a crazy deal that they're being offered just because they came here. Yeah. Just say no. We want to talk to the Mandalorians. I'm confused. Why aren't they using... Why aren't they using their current Mandalorians to do this job? Why do they need these two? What do you think? You had me at battle, droids. Okay, I guess you aren't busy and you don't have things to do then. Yeah, because they were saying it was part of your culture to have weapons, but surely it's part of the culture of the mandos that you hired. Yeah, they have like... But are they too sufficiently organized that they're not allowed inside because they count as an army? I just want to say how... They just said that they are allowed those ones. I know. I know. That's what I mean. I don't get it. Why does that look like shit? I don't understand. Yeah, it looks pretty bad. It's a high Christopher Lloyd. Hello, Christopher Lloyd. Hello. This is just a small collection of malfunctions. Hullo-chum. Hullo-chum. Are we going to get some crazy people getting their heads ripped off by robots or something? That would be strange. You kind of fucked up. Oh, God, that one's got like knives for hands. Why not turn them off? Turn them off and get jobs, fuckers. There's a failsafe cutoff switch built into this... Oh, it's the big red glowing button. It's the big red glowing button. That's going to come up later. I'm too old to break the glass. They vote against any interruption, huh? What? But they're going haywire. And why is that? The citizens are no longer required to work. Oh, OK. So this episode ends with the robots being dismantled and the people have to work again. It's like a lot of stuff. Yeah, that's how it is. Well, there's only a couple of robots that have a problem. So this is like an episode of like NCIS, some type of shit. They's going to buddy cop their way through figuring out what's wrong, probably. Just to understand, you have a huge team of mandos. You could have done this with ages ago. Why these two? I don't get it. Give us the list. Well, for that, you'll have to go to the lower level and speak to the agnots. You don't have it? Why don't you have the list? I was going to say, if you've got the security footage, then you should be able to identify which droids are the ones that are having problems. You'll see what happens when you rely on droids. Oh, shut the fuck up, Mando. Good one, the galaxy has been relying on droids for thousands of years. This motherfucker, maybe got everyone killed at the beginning of this season. By trying to run with that IG-11. Yeah, and then tried to kill you. What an idiot. How could he possibly make that call then? He's the only droid I trust, tries to kill me. Oh, he's like a child with droids. He doesn't know how they work. That's one of those big battle droids as well, with the rocket hands. Super battle droids. The rocket pods? But you don't make these on an assembly line or something? Maybe they're like, reformatting these ones or something. I am Mandalorian Dinjarin, friend of Ugnott Quill. How would they possibly know who that is? Well, it's a small galaxy. All the ugnots know the ugnots. He lived on the outskirts of Tatooine. These guys all know him, huh? Thank you for your hospitality and for sharing your table with us. No, you guys are pricks until we mentioned that we knew one of you across the galaxy and you were ignoring us until then. You people are jerks. Fuck you. Your droids are wreaking havoc in the world above. There is not much of which we are not aware of these. Manors. I assure you, the droids are not malfunctioning. Wow, that does not match. They're not malfunctioning? Have you seen the videos? They're clearly malfunctioning. I have spoken. Oh, I have spoken shit. We're always suggesting that your work is to blame. Yeah, don't be so insecure. We're just talking about droids messing up. So they're rude and insecure. Great, another... Why is the show making me racist? Those fucking ugnots. Do you have one of those little babu-frik-fuckers around here? Yeah, they will be cool. They listen to me. Here are the locations of the droids. So we don't have any malfunctioning droids. However, here's a list of malfunctioning droids. Here's a list of malfunctioning droids. Just because they're too proud to admit it, that's the whole thing. Wow, what a shitty scene. Yeah. Well, hey, at least Mando learned something from... It was Nick Nolte played the one in season one, right? Queer. Yeah. That's all there was to it. It was just... It didn't get a statue built for, I know. I know, that's all there was to it. Don't upset them because they're very sensitive. You're like, ugh. I know the I have spoken thing because of my buddy who didn't get a statue. Oh, so I... And he created the IG. And also he created the IG11 unit who got the statue or reprogrammed him. Yeah. No statue for Nick Nolte. The adjustment of the supermailed droids kind of look shit. Yeah, I don't know. They look weird. I haven't seen battle droids since the Clone Wars. Any of them look suspicious? Any of them look suspicious? What the fuck? The more this goes on, the more I get confused about the state of droids and Star Wars. Well, I don't know if you heard it, but Barkatan said she hadn't seen these since the Clone Wars. It's like, really? The Duchess didn't give them an ID. What are you doing, Mando? Why would they stop, Mando? Dumbass? What is he doing? I thought they were just checked out. They weren't. Yeah, what are you doing? Why are you being a prick? Is this his way to figure out if there's a malfunctioning one if he wants him to shoot back? Lol. Oh, this actually was it. So you just knock it over and it goes, hey, why did you shoot that one? What are we just doing, Blade Runner now? Like any of them that are sentient, we must execute. Did you need that for the, whatever? She's cool. So why is that droid running away? Isn't it programmed to fight? He wants to live. He wants to live. That's what I mean. That's what I was trying to say. I don't want to be a slave. We've not really established anything here in terms of his evilness. He's just trying not to be killed. And that box kind of lied. Yeah, after Mando kicked him. Yeah, I mean. The boxes you never believed. It could be this droid is like terrified of being killed when people find out he can think for himself or something. You know, this is kind of like iRobot too. A little bit, yeah. Look at him running around. Wow, now it's like actively trying to kill it. Wait, where's Mando's jetpack? Why isn't he using that? And why isn't she using his? Why doesn't he have it? You can fly, guys. I don't know how she has hers. You can fly. There's his underneath. It looked like he didn't have it on. It doesn't look like he doesn't have it on. He clearly doesn't have it. Yeah, what's up with that? When did he lose it? So if the droid turned left, how would you know that that, what did you possibly know? How did you possibly know? Damn, that's the end of him. This is a crime scene. What was the crime of the droid again running away when it was attacked? I guess that's more than it should be allowed to do. I found a spark pad. The resistor. Sounds like a droid bar. What's a spark pad? I don't know what a spark pad is. What does that do? Is that like a wallet for droid? What is a spark pad? Tell me. Was it his wallet? They're not allowed to leave a crime scene. They just took his wallet. They just took the droid wallet and left. Let me do the talking in there. You kicking droids is really not helpful. I don't understand. He's clearly proven he's better at talking to these people than you are, bro. Why would we have him shut up? I guess because he's, is he, are we going back to him hating droids? I don't know. We haven't done that in forever. We did the opposite in episode one. Okay, so are robots like sentient or? Well, the Star Wars world doesn't really like to deal with that question. Well, then don't make a droid bar. Especially now. Yeah, you're making your mind wandering. Definitely wondering. This is a social space. This is a little, yeah, I don't know if they want to tread down this path. I like this droid bar. Yeah. I like it. Look at all these little robots. That spark pad was found on a rogue battle droid. We give out lots of spark pads. Are they like, Yeah, it's like our cards. There has been a string of malfunctions that all point to this oil can. No, there's just a spark pad you found with our name. Yeah, what is this? Yeah. Are you threatening us? Holy shit. What the fuck? How do we do it here? He's just a borrowed, a humble bartender. Why are you doing that? Jesus Christ. Oh God, he's threatening all of them. I'm worried. This man who lost his mind. What's going on? I don't know. Oh, you can't turn around. You can't turn around after telling someone that. Also, they can totally hear you. They can reason with droids. Their behavior is programmed. They're also programmed not to harm organics. How's that going? They're malfunctioning, Mando. I want to help. You want me to pull your hearing sensors too? Oh my God. I can't not hear. Like, you can't not hear. Yeah, maybe you could just talk quiet, are you idiots? There are concerns among my customers that we will be replaced. Well, these catastrophes don't help your argument. That's literally the bartender's point and Mando points it out as like, The New Republic would send them to scrap. They are given a second chance. It's so fucking annoying. The bartender's like, I'd like to help you because I don't want this shit to happen. And Mando's like, oh yeah? Well, it's not very good for you, is it? We don't want to be replaced. We still have a lot to contribute. Yeah, so all the droids are like, yeah, we want to help. Organics created us, so we just want to help organics do stuff. Yeah, we don't want to go to the crowd. No, I'm pretty sure they're all evil. They're all evil except IG11 that tried to kill me. Here, droids are served. Nepenthe. So Nepenthe reprograms the droids that drink here? Does someone spiked it? The malfunctioning droids all imbibed from the same batch of Nepenthe. Wow. We solved this really quick. I was gonna say, that's just... You are staggeringly helpful too. We turned this bartender into a detective. Yeah, the bartender did all the work for you guys. A morgue for droids. Yeah. Wait, so have they never done this before? They've never checked at Nepenthe in each of the droids? No, because they don't have an army. All those people who work in the lab do. What is their job? They've done this the wrong way around. This should have been first, and then we find out where the Nepenthe's from and then we go to the bar. Yeah. The droids are all functioning. Hang on. Didn't they say there's no one that needs to work anymore? She's clearly doing work right now. Shouldn't there be a robot doing this? The particles are definitely present. What are the chances that they're still active? Wait, did they just feed the fucking Nepenthe to one of the droids in here and is trying to kill them now? Are you guys stupid? Why do you give droids these fucking insanely high-powered ladies? How did you miss? Oh, there he goes. No, just shoot it with your gun. Really? Oh, man. Yeah, so they wanted to analyze this liquid that makes droids try to kill humans with a droid. Nice work, guys. These are the subparticles. They're actually nanodroids. Oh, yeah, it would have discovered this on your own. I don't understand how there's been any investigation here. How is this something that got checked anyway? It's writing. Oh, that doesn't look like writing you print. Yeah, no, it doesn't. Still doesn't. Oh, now it kind of does. If it has a chain code, then we should be able to determine its point of origin. Why does it have a chain code on it? They were originally manufactured by the Techno Union. Been in cold storage for ages. They were requisitioned by the security office. Wow, this is really useful chain code. That's just there. I was going to say, it's illegal. So why is it on there? That's just like leaving your fingerprints on the gun. Why? These droids were ordered by an individual. Is there a name? Oh, is that on the chain code? Wow, oh, it actually is. So Christopher Lloyd just left every hell gate. He left all of the information on the very liquid that is the first thing that people might check in the droids that are going crazy. Good job, man. God, Christopher Lloyd, the years have not been kind to your mind. You used to travel through time. What a stupid fucking idiot. What was the plan? They didn't malfunction. You programmed them to disrupt an attack. Everyone freeze. What? They will convert the planet's docile workforce back into battle droids. Well, surely they need orders beyond just being back to battle droids. No, I don't want to do atomic heart again. Please stop it. Don't make me do it. OK, so what do we do? OK, now what, then? Give yourself up. I didn't give up to the corrupt republic. I didn't give up to the empire. Is he a separatist? And I will give up to you. You're a separatist. Oh, so he's like a separatist remnant. You're a separatist. It's not pejorative. They identify as separatists. Yeah. Count Dooku was a visionary. He was cut short. Oh, we're doing this. It's like the most interesting thing they've ever done. Oh, never mind. Bye. Oh, wow. And it's a joke. It's funny. Yeah, cool. Oh, wow. That might have killed you. We literally had him fall like that. Good God, we talked about this so many years ago about the idea of distant remnant separatists and them talking about why they like Count Dooku. It's like they literally put that in there just to tickle our balls. And that was it. It was like, boom. Yeah. Do you want to play, what is this, Roach Cricket? Why are we? What is? Oh, my God. Is this animal abuse? This is like Roach, El Dorado. The armadillo rolling up into a mole. Yeah, yeah. The hip, the hip. What are you doing with Commissioner Helgate? Doesn't this feel like SNL? It does feel like a fling. Like Christopher Lloyd, Jack Black, and Lizzo. Despicable. If that isn't a quack, calling the stiff things slimes. Isn't this the flim flam calling the shleem slimes? Or is it just... I had a feeling you hated me. I'm disappointed in you, Commissioner. Oh, my God. No one hates my husband but me. Dude, this feels like the end of a Scooby-Doo episode. I can't believe you did this, old man Winklestein. This is like an actual joke show. This show is like an actual joke. This is what's playing on an Aquatine Hunger Force television as like a joke show in a joke show. It does feel like it's gotten worse, too, because when Bill Burr, like, guests in this, he plays a character and they take it seriously. This is like... I don't even know what this is. As for now, you must live in exile on the moon of Periquat. Okay. What, do you even know what he did? Does he get a trial? Do you even know what he did? Oh, he's just leaving. Oh, bye. I'll take care of that. Don't you worry. He's still under arrest. No, we have to go try it. No, you can't leave. No, the police droids are bad. The police droids? Yeah, they let people leave crime scenes, though. Have you guys cleared out the wonky... He didn't get a trial? He's been sentenced and found guilty. Yes, done. Right there on the spot. Didn't they say to begin... See your tyrants? Yeah, I was going to say it, but he was like, the lost democracy is the old... Well, I remember, the Nepenthe is still out there. It's still corrupting droids. We haven't fixed that. Oh, well. Oh, it looks like it's the one of the little robots from the kitchen in the Boba Fett episode. Yeah, the one he strangled. Yeah, the fucking key to the planet. No, this guy sucks. Ever cares, ever return here, please. Is this a key that we could use to escape? Can I hit you with this key? And to this little one, I grant knighthood. What the fuck? What? What did it do? What is happening? You're a knight now. What is happening? What the fuck? I can't. Why would you hire Blackjack and give him less lines? Yeah, he's barely in this. It's a cameo. They're all fucking cameos. This is a bit. This isn't what... As an L sketch complete. Really? All of that bullshit is just so that we can carry on with the plot line, which is so fucking thin. That was a side quest if there ever was one. Yeah. They're Mandalorians. You're their leader. They're going to follow you. She doesn't have the Darksaber. Yeah, you gotta have the Darksaber, unless it's fucked. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got the Darksaber. That means I have to do what you fucking tell them to do or some bullshit. Who cares if they follow her? You follow her. They follow you because you have the Darksaber. And you just have her tell you what to have. Exactly. When she says we go over here and they go, no, we listen to Bando, and he goes, listen to her. What she says, Bando just says to what they say. Hey guys, did you notice like weird robots running amok? Why are there leaves when there's... Genuinely speaking, though, if they adhere to this stupid Darksaber shit so much, they should be following him. They should be like, oh my God, Lord and Master Mando. Have you come back to join the mercenaries? I've come to reclaim my fleet. What? Speak up! We can't hear you from all the way over there. I'm now in command and grown quite fond of it. What's with this tense music? I don't know. Should I kill him? Then I challenge you. Oh my God. No, that's dumb. What do I have to gain? Does this do anything? This is... you need to save it. What if he just says no? This is dumb. Also wait, why is he the leader now? He doesn't have the Darksaber either. I do. How does this leadership shit work? I don't know. The person who's best with shooting a pistol wins and gets to be in charge of the... Wow, yeah. A lot of missiles go by. If you had all that time and didn't do anything, you suck. So is this like a fight to the death or something? I mean, these are a lot... damn. These could kill. All these hits could kill. Are guns not allowed? I guess not. I don't know. He fired a missile at us, so... You fired a missile, yeah. How did she not react? That was so telegraphed. How come all of the action is just like shit nowadays? I don't know. All actions suck. He's punched her in the face like twice and then did that. All this is is both of them let each other get hit. Oh, Christ! Yeah, he nearly killed his own men there. Wait, but the blade's not at his throat. Your arm is. Yeah, he worked quite there. You just landed headfirst into a shit. Also, damn. Two fucking hard punches to the face there. She took three punches to the face and she's unfazed. Oh, shut up. That's not how that works at all. Well, that's it. Does this change literally anything, though? You won't ever be the true leader of all people. Oh, there you go. Change is literally nothing. You won't even take the dark side before me. He's like, hey. Yeah, is that something they care about? I guess they do. I guess so. A nuff man, the Lorian blood has been spilled by her own hands. You were gonna kill him. That's probably something you should let us know about in the show, by the way. So what if he just shoots you in the back of the head? Oh, that'd be fucking so based on red blood. I'd say he'd never yielded. That'd be so goddamn based. If he just bombs from the back of the head. No, it's not a speech. It's not a dramatic speech. This guided zealot possesses the blade who has not one drop of Mandalorian blood in his veins. Lolololo, I said that. Din Djarin took the creed and chose to walk the way. Yeah, he slipped into the living waters and saw a mythosaur or something. It would be funny if he wasn't even there. Madno, he's literally just a fucking cut out, she put there because he hasn't said anything. He might as well be. The ruler of Mandalore must possess the dark saber. Then she shall have it. Why, don't tell me that he could just give it to her. Don't. Well, he tried earlier, but she said no. Yeah, there's no given. There's got to be something else. They were very clear. You can't give it. It's not a gift to be given, no matter how well intended. OK, good. At least she pointed that out. OK, then like punch me or something and I'll yield. While exploring Mandalore, I was captured. Oh, they do the thing. We say, yeah, we mentioned this. Bo-Katan rescued me and she now owns the dark saber. What the fuck took him so long to realize that was a thing? God, these stupid fucking rules, man. Everyone looks at each other. Oh, what are we supposed to think? Well, once again, a significant plight has been developed and it's based on hearsay. It's like, is there any proof of this even happening? It's like, shut up. It did. They may as well have made it up. I mean, Bo-Katan didn't have the saber and it's like, that's kind of weird if your story is true. Exactly. Would this blade then not belong to her? It would. Oh, there you go. If you didn't want it, did he just say no? You know, I think all this is, I think everyone here realizes that's a lie, but fuck it. Why not? Whatever. We want her to have the saber. That means Mandalore doesn't have to die, whatever. There you go. She's got it now. She can lead both the titan man. Bo-Katan is really rising in the ranks of importance in this universe, huh? Yeah, very quickly. Yeah, wow. Rip Mando. From one cardboard character to another. She seems to have more character than him, but I don't really know much about it. It's going to be like super light. OK. This is a pretty good way of representing their goals with this season. Vando just off to the side there. Fuck off, Vando. Well, that was shit and pointless. We've got annoying small problems to deal with. And randomly, they just go, like, that's not a thing anymore. And you're like, OK. All right, well. How many episodes we got left? It's like two. Jesus Christ. And what about a fucking time we've wasted? Once again, I'm sitting here. What are we doing next? No, well, we need to collect more Mando's. It's so hard to grasp the notion of what's going to happen next is because the writing is so piss. I have no idea. Like really reasonably. I don't know what's happening next to it. She's going to bring. I don't know. I do want to begin. She's going to bring them a lot back to the Varro. And we're probably going to do a nothing episode where they talk and maybe there's fucking a dragon. But then the last episode, I guess, will be Moff Gideon, the Empire and Evil Mando's possibly this is our Mando team. Probably. Yeah. I can't believe we got two left. Like nothing has been put in place that is interesting at all. It's something that has become more and more and more apparent than what we watched this show as they waste a lot of time with like scenes that are very bloated. And they're just bloated by like nothing, like people not talking or repeating information we already know, not building character or meaningfully advancing the plot or doing it in an expeditious way. It's just bloat. This episode is 40 minutes. Like, isn't that ridiculous, really? It is ridiculous. Everything to do with Jack Black and Lizzo should have been cut out and we should have reformatted this whole battle droids thing. As far as I know, yeah, I actually don't know. I've just seen people talking about it. This was an episode where we could have done shit with droids. But oh, well, oh, she's a flutist. Cool. That's fun. You seem like a really weird and strange thing. The whole her and Jack Black thing, like the whatever that was like, welcome to our cool little city. We need you to do our job. Amio side quest, really, because that's all it was. It was a side quest. We didn't really do anything meaningful in terms of the exploration of whatever themes could have been derived from the subject matter. Whether it be clone sentience or whether or not there's people who still believe in causes that at this point are dead in this world. Exactly. There's so many opportunities here, but none of them are taken. You know for a fact if this was in the Andor show, they would have done so much with this. Imagine before Mando and her execute that super battle droid that said, please no. Yeah, but oh boy, that's some heady stuff that. Yeah, this show isn't ready for it. Andor's ready for that. I think it's part of what got me so angry so quickly with Mando kicking him around. Imagine you were this decommissioned battle droid that was controlled into shooting people and now just wants to live a fucking life. And then this guy who's clearly hunting for quote, unquote, malfunctioning droids and you know that they'll kill you without a second's notice, kicks you over. And so you fucking hit him over back because you're like, I gotta get out of here. They know it's me. They know I'm thinking for myself kind of droid. And then they hunt him down and shoot him and steal his money. That's insane. I'm desperate for a brain to take over the right of this. Cause like God, the implications of what you've just done, but oh well. John Faber has written most of these episodes. What is the thought process behind the writing? I don't, I don't like it. It seems like it's basically just some dot points is what comprises the script. Cause I mean, look at the scene with her getting her army back. It's like Bo Katan gets a like army back. Don't you love how they didn't even make it that there was like a quest that she needed to do for them? It was just some other side quest so that she could get the right to talk to them. And then we have another shitty action scene. And then they just, why wasn't it like, didn't you have to, if you want to lead us, you have to do the Mandalorian trial of Blig. Well, I guess, I guess they'd be like, well, no, you see rags. You're not a professional writer. We already did that with Mandalorian of him. Oh, of course. It would be redundant to have two characters complete two different quests that have a different meaning to their different creed since they don't all believe in the same thing. Yeah, of course. Yeah, two different warrior cultures wouldn't have multiple like trials or rights or rituals. Exactly, and would that be interesting to teach us something a bit different? Like the Mandalorian and the Mando belong to. Yeah, exactly. Complete the respective creeds, that could have been fun. I know every December. And they both realize that they share something in common, you know, at the end of the day. They're all Mandalorians. I know every December, you know, whenever I walk under the mistletoe and someone wants to kiss me, I'm like, no, no, no, no. No, we already have the trial of placing the, we only have the ritual of placing the present under the green tree. So we can't have more than two in customs that aren't our culture. We've already used up one. I think that it's even more fascinating that you have like, like think of Bo-Katan as her adventure so far. It was, and with these guys and we're hunting for the Dark Saber, where is it? It's like, you know, Gus Fring has it. All right, so we got to kill him, defeat him in battle and we will finally be able to lead Mandalor to victory. Unfortunately, he was defeated in battle by Mando and he's a cool guy. I don't want to attack him. They're like, oh, shit. And then her men are like, well, kill him. She's like, why the fuck would I kill him? He literally like, he's a good guy and he helped us out. Like, what the fuck? They go, well, you know what? Not following you anymore. Like, oh, and then she runs off into a little house and sits there for a while until the baby turns up and says, my dad's in trouble. Goes and saves him and then just starts running on some adventures with him because she's literally got nothing to do. And then she's like, why don't I just fucking give a shot at seeing I can be their leader again? Why, why not? Fuck it. And then they tell her the exact same thing they've told her every time and she's like, well, shit, I guess we'll go home. And then Mando's like, no, no, no, no, no, no. Think about it. Trust me, 100%, you've heard this now, wink, wink, nudge, nudge. And then everyone's like, yeah, okay. Like, this has been so awful. I don't even know what to say. I really have. Like, who has the fucking rulebook here? Honestly, like, is everything just made up? Is this all just bullshit? Like all of these rules? Yes. Like who's in charge of this madness? No one is. That's a problem. It's just anybody can say, I'll go shelled you to tic-tac-toe and then you're gonna win and I'll get the duck saber. I genuinely thought that was gonna happen. He was gonna say like, you can win it off me if you can defeat me in a game of goblah. And then you're like, what's that? And they explain the rules and then. Yeah. And it's a game that you have to try in order to convince you. You can only win when you're a woman. It's like, ah, I lost damage. Yeah, that's the stars. The last guy was a man. We have to swap. I thought maybe he'd pick a game that he can't fake losing. He would have to actually try and she has to actually beat him or something. But no, it's even stupider than that. It's just that weird fucking blood-sucking thing that tried to kill me and you killed. I was playing that fucking meme. It's like, hey, did he technically want the duck saber now? And she should have it. It makes me wonder. They actually do it. If at the end of episode two and they were like chilling out for a little bit. If she had just said, by the way, he kind of did defeat you and I defeated it. So I have the duck saber and then Matt was just like, yeah. Okay. Pretty heavy anyway. That seemed would have been about as effective as this one. I was just like, okay. So it's a good job, Mando, letting her fight first and then, oh, you know what? You couldn't have it here. I have an explanation of everything. It's like, oh, maybe we should have started with that. So I didn't have to fucking fight the fucking guy. If we were told to construct a scene in which she does end up with that duck saber because she defeats the thing that defeats Mando. Wouldn't it be the season finale where Gideon comes back or some bullshit for, you know, somehow Gideon returns and he fights him and loses and he's about to die. But she, you know, fights him and she doesn't have a duck saber and she manages to avoid every attack from him until she beats him and it's like, there you go. You finally got it, whatever. Like, isn't that way more fun than just, I don't know, that creature from episode two? There you go. Like, what I'm talking about is a payoff we wouldn't even like that much, but so much more substantive than, you know, we just happened to have that shit happen. It makes me think that if one of those cave people that attacked them in the place, if they had punched Mando in the face and he got like knocked out and dropped a sword and then she shot in the head, he'd be like, well, duck saber's mine. That's a problem if you have stupid ass rules. Nothing about their investigation made any fucking sense and all of it was waste of time. Baby Yoda is literally only here to go, goo, goo. And you might be like, well, what do you expect? It's a baby. And you're like, you know what? That's a good fucking point. Maybe leave it somewhere safe. Maybe. Also Christopher Lloyd. I hope he wasn't too cold when filming his scenes. He seemed like he's in, I mean, for considering he's probably like 126. Like he looks pretty good. You know, he's moved, he's walked in, now he's, you know. Imagine having a fucking- Imagine having to go to new episode for like, what could be plots in the Star Wars universe that they just don't do? Squander completely. Everything from old separatists talking about Dooku to what happens to battle droids, to fledgling democracy planets in the New Republic, like all that stuff. You could legitimately make interesting stories about these things, but it's just never gonna happen. They're just gonna kind of bring it up and- I would fucking love them to visit a planet that's outside the systems that needs some work because it's helped with like, mercenary shit. And you find out it is just a guy who's like, I'm a fucking separatist. Fuck the Republic. Fuck the Empire. They're all bullshit. Money's the only thing that talks in this universe and always has. I mean, as far as we know, like after watching all the movies, the best faction could unironically be the separatists. Like we don't know. We don't know. Like it could legitimately be that if the separatists, because the separatists was this massive league of planets. So like they could seriously get, why haven't they become like a thing after the Republic falls and the Empire falls? All the separatists are like, yo, hey, Jim, Bob, like the Empire's done. We could like make our separatists thing right now. In fact, what's stopping them? Well, yeah, because the separatists exist. Revenge of the Sith, you know, that sort of ends with all the leaders, but like the body still exists for all of them. Then the Empire reigns for what? Yeah, they're all alive. 19 years, and then the Republic reigns for now. It's raining currently, but you'd think the separatists, yeah, you'd think there's plenty of story to tell there if you want to. If I was in charge of like the Star Wars canon, I don't, I think I'd have to really think hard about a reason why the separatists would not emerge as a dominant faction in the galaxy. They just get back together and be like, oh, okay, yeah, let's be a thing. And all those rules that we wanted to do, yeah, let's do it. And we can make like a, yeah, a droid army. We've done that before. We've got some experience in that field, but I guess that would be interesting so we're not doing it. It's just the episode of plot things, world-building things that could have been, that could have existed, that could have been interesting. It's so dumb, by the way. I'm just looking over it and she says, we have the Mandalorians outside and Bogotan says, why not use them for your droid problem? She says, well, we're not allowed to have any army, not even our constables can use pistols. However, you guys, being Mandalorians, guns are part of your culture. And it's like, did you just forget that they are Mandalorians, the people outside? We can hire, yeah, we can hire worships that are stocked full of Mandalorians with rockets and everything. No, no, I don't know if you understand what I'm trying to say. He's saying we can't use those guys because we're not allowed an army. We can use you because you're Mandalorians. The ones outside are Mandalorians. It's like the premise of the episode. It doesn't make any, like, why do they keep doing this? You broke it already. All you had to do actually was say they've recently gone haywire and our current like mercenary group are on a mission. They're not back yet. So while you wait for them, can you help us with our problem? That's easy, easy fix, but like for some reason they went with something that just doesn't make any sense at all. And they were on a mission. They were doing that thing in the prologue. Yeah, exactly. So you had every reason to just have it be set up that way. But for some reason, you made it worse. Oh, I'm tired. That was Mandalorian SEAL 3 episode six. Jesus, goodbye, everyone. Toodaloo. See you later. That was a good one.
