 Oh, um, welcome. Hello, it's um, I'm so sorry. Somebody save me. It's good. We made it to the good one. Thank fuck. Though I have a few more comments to share with you folks, I'm afraid. Oh my. This reaction was just full of little nitpicks exaggerations. Questions that were answered but not retracted. Predictions that don't mean anything and then ideas of what they thought could have worked better. I mean, come on. This isn't Batwoman. You can't run a series on this because the show actually has to be garbage. It is though. It is though. Again, it'd be nice if you identified what those questions exaggerations and nitpicks were so that we could actually address them. But it's better to just be vague so that there's no comeback at all. And you could just toss these kind of comments out without receiving any criticism in turn. That's a good way to do it. You're not safe here. Okay. Jesse's back. These guys desperately need a foil in the group to counter the nonsense they spew sometimes. Isn't it odd that the spewing only seems to happen with properties that aren't allowed to be gone after? We don't need a foil when we cover the sequels. We don't need a foil when we cover Game of Thrones nor the shitty MCU movies. It's so weird. Mandalorian is the one that we need this foil. And also, provided that the arguments are sound, foils are unnecessary. If everybody's making good arguments, that doesn't need to be a foil. It's just people making points. Shadavisti was kind of like that in the EFAP podcast on season one, but he was always outnumbered. So Shad conceded that the points he was making were not positions he held. He was just trying to create points that he thinks people defending the show might make. And he even said the show is about a three. Honestly, it would have to depend on the standard I'm rating it by. And so if I was to rate the writing and consistency, it would get like a three. Oh shit. So I don't know why you'd advocate that he's the one to save you. Because he's not going to. Shad ain't the one to save this show if you think he's going to be the hero. I honestly think Shadow thinks season two is especially the combat in the past few episodes we've seen. I think it'll be hard for him to enjoy that. Yeah, because it's just boring. And just all the stormtroopers are incredibly stupid. Rap them where? In the cargo control area. And yeah, I don't know why you would expect a full deep dive in what is a reaction thing. Because obviously we've explained a couple that people were like, we didn't even explain the problems with the pit droids, which was like a misconception on itself, but you know. Oh, Rona. Wow. You guys really hate this show, don't you? It's fucking terrible. That's why. Yeah, this show is really, well, we don't hate it. It's just bad. I'm starting to get really bored of it. Yeah, I'm a little bit more bored of it recently. Those last two episodes were really painful. We don't hate it though. They kind of have to hate on everything. You know, that thing that we do, we just hate on things. I'll admit, he's kind of right. All the hate we delivered to Hill, House and Bly Manor, even I felt we were going too far. Yeah, Civil War and Joker and all the stuff that's good, Lord of the Rings. The amount of hate, man. Crazy how we don't enjoy anything. I don't know how we do it. Life is a constant struggle. Clearly, battle, what you haven't realized, they're catching on. The comment section is catching on. Oh no, they're discovering our secrets. Soma? Yeah, fucking hate Soma. So shitty writing is shitty writing, regardless of what's popular at the time. Oh, that sounds about right. Maybe they'd like it if the writers put in some effort. Yeah, I think we'd like it a lot more if they did. That'd be fucking tits, man. And then Jesse coming back in with the right watch. Stop it. Stop it, Jesse. Oh my God. Bad dog. Moore's favorite MCU movie is Civil War. The third worst MCU film behind Thor 2 and Captain Marvel. Fuck off. Imagine it being that wrong. That's the worst MCU movie. This is layers of wrong. You think Black Panther is better than Civil War? You think Iron Man 3 is better than Civil War? I think Ant-Man and the Wasp is better than Civil War. I forgot Ant-Man and the Wasp existed. Everyone does. It's hard to remember. What a hot take. I like you, Jesse. You keep up the good fight. Can you guys spot if Jesse entered this one? Oh, there he is. They have Trump's Arrangement Syndrome levels of hate for this show. That's not how that works. Man, don't arrange your syndrome. We just hate... I like these quotes. They remind me of... You guys ever hear that quote from the IT TV movie? Why is it doing this? Why does it hate? Why is it so mean? This is like it applies to this right now when people are like, Why must you hate Mando? What did it do to you? E-Fap. Why did E-Fap hate? All they do is hate. Objective criticism is hard to swallow for a blind follower. If the Mandalorian was well-written, then we'd love it. But alas, it's trash. And this is the thing, by the way, there's a lot of people in the comments section who agree with us that this season has been garbage. Like, this isn't... It's just funny to see these comments. You got blind follower. Ironic. It's not trash. The sequel three... Sorry, what? The sequel's three. It's like your brother's grim. Yeah. It was so bad that they won't let this one have a fair chance at just being a show. Now, hush. Episode five is out. Do you see the logic? We hate the sequel so much, we won't let this be a show. I don't. Okay. We don't even hate the sequel. We can't allow it. I guess I do hate TLJ, but I didn't hate Rise of Skywalker. I thought it was hilarious. Yeah, it was really funny. These other things are worse. Therefore, this should get a pass for just being bad. Just consume. Oh, Tywin, with your logic bombs. Who are you quoting? Nobody actually said this. They asked where they got Jetpack fuel from. If you need the show to explain that, I think your bar is unreasonably high for no reason, shit. No reason. So Jetpack offers a lot of options for Mando, and it's incredibly useful. And it frustrates me that he's a tank with infinite ammo and infinite flight abilities. He doesn't seem to have any limits. He has no limiters on what he could do. He couldn't even drown. He got saved by three other Mandalorians. So, yeah, I get annoyed at the idea that Boba Fett's armor so many years after was found by Jawa's passed over to the sheriff guy, Marshall, and then he's still got fuel in there. I don't think you can just... Magical-y-tearing rockets? Yeah, like the idea that Jetpack fuel is just an eventing machine or something, it's like, no, I don't believe it. I don't know where you're getting this from. Like, where would Jango and Boba Fett get it? It's like, well, I mean, since they're a part of either the CIS or the Empire, they've got incredible resources. Well, yeah, they have money. They could probably go and buy it at Jetpack fuel stores or they buy their fuel rods or they buy the liquid, whatever they squirt, which is probably blue, and they squirt it into their Jetpack. Like, I can believe they can, but... Mando, on the other hand, like, he's... I don't even... It is weird that he just seems to always have resources, like, because... He never goes out and buys things. He never has an item acquisition episode or part of an episode where he's like, I need to... I need to top off my this or I shot all my rockets in that last fight or I need to refuel my da-da-da. These would go a long way to show us things about the bounty hunting trade and how you have to maintain your equipment and stuff. Used to think you guys were really right, but I'm beginning to think you guys are really just hating to hate. Also, your community is getting a little toxic. So this is a reference to the fact that there's lots of comments that agree with us. They're getting toxic. Worse fate has never befallen anyone. We have Jesse saying true dat. EJ says, I agree. I love EFAP and have followed this dude since TLJ, but I think they're starting to turn into teenagers at a high school movie party. I think he said that before. With Avatar and The Mandalorian, they're starting to stretch into Cinema Sense territory, especially with this episode. I agree there are oodles of writing issues with The Mandalorian, but they're approaching it like me and my friends do with Sharknado. They're not the same quality at all. Like, I can see why he said that. Like, you shouldn't be shitting on Sharknado like you do Mandalorian, but you can treat anything with this standard. And funnily enough, we did Hill House with this. We ended up just shutting up. Hill House comes out really well. Yeah. Also, I find it interesting that it's like, oh, you get into Cinema Sense territory. It's like, what are the two examples? Avatar and The Mandalorian. You guys need to recover from Avatar. It was one subject. Do you know how much media we've talked about between the Avatar stuff and The Mandalorian stuff? It's like I slapped your mother and you just won't forget it. Look, corrupt angels back. I'm not sure what you mean. This show's writing is terrible and almost everything they pointed out was valid criticism. Well, so now we're getting into references. You ready for this? I'm so ready. I've been ready for this since longer than I can remember. So time to get fucked in terms of you guys saying that no one was referencing. Here's some references. They were constantly complaining about stuff that literally doesn't matter. All right. I think that's hyperbolic. I think that's a bit much, but he's going to prove it. Half of episode one's coverage was complaining about the Marshall not having his helmet on. That's a lie. So that's a lie. We know exactly why he didn't have his helmet on so they could see all of his face. We made that very clear and every time his helmet not being on was a stupid choice from the character, it was pointed out. It was a valid criticism and it wasn't the whole of the first half. But moving on. The second part is them complaining about the Marshall talking to Mando while they were on speeders and it wasn't the content, but just the fact that Mando could hear the Marshall while they were riding. Yeah, that's bullshit. Yeah. There's no way that makes any sense at all. Also, it was another off-the-hand comment. I don't think we talked about it a lot. We'll see. You don't understand what it was like. You cannot hear him. Yeah. It started after we got news of the Death Star blowing up. What? The second one that is. What? After he went what? In reference to how they couldn't possibly hear each other, he then followed up with, this is why the entire show is broken. What? I edited it out because I didn't want people to know how horrible that was that you said that. Oh, yeah, that's right. It ruined everything. The thing is the residue of you having said it was detected by this person and they know what you said, right? They know that you think that all of season one and two is bad because Mando heard something he probably shouldn't have. It's just really weird how they're zooming through that desert super fucking fast and they're just having a casual conversation not lifting their voices at all. It's just really weird because they know how air works. You know what would have fixed it? If he would have fed a servant on. Yeah, you could actually say they patched into each other and the, yeah, there you go. Yeah, undoubtedly. Second, they complained that Mando is now okay with droids because quote unquote, he got over it in five minutes in the previous season. It wasn't just five minutes. The story of Mando getting over his distrust of droids happened over multiple episodes. No, it didn't. Even if he was right, that would be terrible. Yeah, even if it was right, that would be terrible but two, that doesn't actually happen. Nope. If we take the first episode and all of the things that the droids do to Mando and to Baby Yoda, he should never trust another droid in his life. Like the show tries to portray like he's gone on an arc and now he trusts robots but multiple robots try to murder Baby Yoda in front of his face that he has previously trusted. Them continuously asking why the town is even there if the dragon is a thing without remembering the fact that the town is a mining village hence why they stayed. No, no, no. The dragon was there before they built the city. Yeah, but it's because of mining you see. So when, say for example, you see a diamond on the floor. It's like, oh, I'm going to grab it. It's like, oh, but the floor is insta-kill lasers. Well, I'm going to grab it anyway. Yeah. So they just sort of just toss out that it's a little mining compound town. But how, I feel like if it was good enough to where they would stick around to mine and everything with this crate dragon on the loose, that must be insanely profitable to make it worth the, you know, potential death and the risk of town destruction constantly. Also, Greg, also. If they know that the thing is spooked by a ship, don't you think they would have a ship? You'd think so. Or just some vibration creator. Yep. This is one of those you're caught between two arguments. It's too dangerous to be there or it's too valuable not for loads of people to be there. And a system set up to account for the crate dragon. You lose one of the two ways. You're welcome to choose which one. We move on to say, what they are doing isn't really criticism. It's nitpicking. Also, I love in how other series, they complain how the show or movie is hand-holding the audience. But the second they don't tell us a very specific thing, with a full backstory and context, it's complete meltdown with the Mandalorian. What do they mean hand-holding? So like trying to create a false dichotomy where either we say something doesn't explain it enough or it's too explained. That's our complaints. There's no in-between. Where usually whatever we complain isn't fleshed out enough is just stuff you need to understand what's happening. I don't understand why that town is there. And you're like, oh, they mine stuff. It's like, I'm going to repeat what I said. Apparently you think that that's an answer. To follow up, then you got Bender said, how so? I think they were really on point with their criticisms, especially with using the banter as a bomb. Can you explain why they did not do that? Would you also like a bit more of an explanation than y'all toxic and nitpicks? EFAB is one of the best communities I've ever been a part of. I love having discussions with so many people, but everyone is different. Oh, that's nice. So yeah, I think it's going to take some time, but people will get used to this. Mandalorian is really bad. This is the last one. I thought it was golden. If you guys don't watch The Clone Wars, you won't understand this season as much as someone who has seen The Clone Wars, and that's an objective fact. You are opinions this season will be less valid than those who have seen the other show and know what's going on. Stop being fair weather Star Wars fans and go watch it or don't complain about characters you don't know about at LMAO. Yeah, but the writing for the episode is still shit. This is about episode one. What in episode one makes more sense if we've seen The Clone Wars? Surely that's an indictment on this show if you can't understand important things because you haven't watched some other show. I don't know what we miss that The Clone Wars just clears up Yeah, man. If only I had a fucking example. My biggest issue with the characters is that they're fucking all, they're all stupid. And believe me, guys, I'm referring to the comments. You don't want us to go watch The Clone Wars, okay? Yeah. You think y'all really want to do that? You think The Clone Wars is going to come out all right? It's going to be a bruised, battered corpse that crawls along the floor. We'll be like, well, that was worth it. Now I understand how much worse about the lore it is. And I'm sure as more episodes release, we're going to get even more interesting responses to check out here and there. But we've reached the halfway point. And we are now about to cross into episode five. This is the second half. Maybe the plot will begin. Maybe we'll get something resembling a plot. Man, that scene was so fucking cool. We locked them in the control room. That'll stop them. Oh, they wanted to show this again, I guess, because they thought it was cool. Good on them. Yeah, it was really cool. This is the reaction. Why is every planet a shithole? Aren't there nice places to live in Star Wars? Not where we're going. No, we're going to the Dregs. Oh, it's Kylo Ren's out there. He's trying to find the thing. Spider Oracle. It's Ahsoka Tano with her white lightsabers. Oh, she's got the reverse grip. Reverse grip means that they're like double damage. Is this supposed to be the good one? I mean, that fight probably made the most sense out of any fight in the entire show. Also, that's Michael B. Yeah, I mean, I'm fine with the fight. You guys probably go into the place. Where are they on this side of the walls? Draw her out. No. You draw her out. Yeah, you draw her out. Oh, God. I don't know how they didn't see her coming here. Oh, suddenly lots of fog. Holy shit. You guys need to just go into the fucking fortress at this point. I don't know why. Look at the fog. What the fuck? What do you want? Did she never chop those off? Nope. Her big fangs on her head. I've been expecting you. You will learn nothing from me. You won't give you that choice. How many lives is the knowledge I possess worth to you? A hundred. They already suffer under your rule. Surrender or face the consequences. You have one day. I mean, it's pretty clear she's going to say no. Yeah, she's pretty anti you. Yeah, she seems like she just wants to torture people. We will be ready when she returns. We'll have more maskless, faceless losers. We did so well this time. Also rags the guy who just said that. That's Hicks. Oh. I guess everyone's fucking creaming their pants because of so katanas in this. See, if you watch the Clone Wars, you'd understand what's going on. So you can't really complain. So you can understand him? I guess. Seems like it. But not when it comes to deadly wires. Yeah, we know what the force is. It's a weird scene. But it's 2020. We've seen this. The same thing as he sits on the chair, looks at the thing and the scene cuts. And we can figure that he might have grabbed it with the force. Look, a razor crash, knocking at it to my collection. It's a good place to land as any. I think they have a space port in the city or something. Or we guess they're going towards a beacon. Is that a giant? Like, yeah, that's alive. It's a giant. Yeah, it eats dead trees. So this is prime real estate, really? Alright, we don't have to floaty thingy. You let the baby have the choking hazard. What did I say about that? It's to stay in the ship. A rare moment of him parenting. Is this thing going to save someone at some point because he has it? I fucking hope not. Why didn't he land in town? Or next to town? That would be just what they'd expect, Rax. Are you going to close up your ship? Yeah, are you going to close that up? Okay. Hi, I landed way back there. I don't know why, actually. I don't know why. I didn't communicate with anyone traveling in or anybody, but... Hey, hi. Nice armor. Thanks. You're a hunter then. I'm an accountant. You know what they get up to in this galaxy? Open the gate. It'd be funny if Mando had headed towards the city and just had gone to any one of the other sides. And there was just no door and he's like, oh. Yeah, he walks around the entire city looking for a gate. Like, hey. Finally gets there, he's panting. He's like, oh, finally, geez. And the first thing we got to do is you've got to land it inside your fucking moron. Every fucking town is just some shit hole. I just need to know. The magistrate wants to see you. Okay. I think they would have just collected him as he entered. Yeah, it's kind of weird. You know, I think this town's up to no good. You think? I do think. Oh, yeah. I mean, there's some people locked in those things up there. No, that's fine. I was more thinking about that guy's weird look. This stuff is normal. Like, you guys have this in your cities, right? Oh, I have one right in front of my door. Well, I hope they free this city by the end of the episode. I like how the sky looks different in this area. Yeah, it paid for nicer air. Nice place with the green in the water. Come forward. That's the only way I come. I have a proposition that may interest you. My price is high. I want you to kill her. That's a difficult task. One that you are well suited for. The Jedi are the ancient enemy of Mandalore. Here, have this spear. He's like, just give me a suck. Okay, I'm going to go back now. Is this a sword-like weapon? He's like, is this a pencil? Like a big one? Here, best scar. Kill the Jedi. And it's yours. But I have it already. It's in my hands. I'm going to fly away now. Wee! Wee! So, I mean, this is already doing way better than most episodes because we're so simple right now. There's an evil tone. Ahsoka's trying to free the people in it. And Mando showed up. And now they're hiring him to kill her. It's like, okay. All right. This makes sense. I know what's up. What is that thing? It's a hand. I have two. Oh. I guess it is time for Michael Bain to just be playing grumpy old men now. He's not old. I mean, that's kind of what I'm getting at. He seems to be playing that right now. I mean, I obviously want it to be more stuff in general just because Big Ben is an alien. I honestly think she will attack him first. Yeah. These are the coordinates. We must be close. Here are the coordinates where she is. I like that the town has coordinates for where she is. Oh, look. Space Owl. Yeah. By the Space Owl. He says two instead of hood. Oh, no. He has predator. What? What? What? Best car is lightsabers? Is that how it works? So she knows what Mandalorians are, right? So I guess Best car is lightsaber proof. I hope it's about him. Looks like it. Very proof. Wow. Because this thing will scratch or mark. Also, how fucking lucky he got there. Yeah. If she had chosen like any reasonable person to attack him in his non-armor spots, he'd be fucked. Yeah. So man, Darth Vader should have just made his armor out of Best car. I know, right? Wow. And she had him on them for a while. It wasn't just sparking off. Yeah. Like if it was glancing, like really light, very low angle glancing blow and like, okay, sure. Yeah. But man, these are just, these are like saber proof. His armor is fucking amazing. Yeah. I won one. His armor also must hate him. I get shot. I get stabbed. I get sliced. What are the things I get? Nothing. Lady, it's cold and I'm hungry. Also, I shot myself. Also, her hat looks awkward. I don't think that's a hat. No. I mean, her hat looks awkward because the makeup is like. Oh, okay. Is a hat. That's what I'm saying. It doesn't look like it's the wear me skin stuff that they have. Normally, it looks more like it's rubber. It's waiting for something to happen. At least we know why the episode's so long this time. Yeah. Is he speaking to you? Understand him? In a way, Grogu and I can feel each other's thoughts. Sorry, did she just name it? Grogu. He was raised at the Jedi temple in Coruscant. Many masters trained him over the years. Really? Really. At the end of the Clone Wars, when the Empire rose to power, he was hidden. Someone took him from the temple. A lot of masters spent time training his infant? He seemed lost. I've only known one other being like this. Yoda. A wise Jedi master named Yoda. The Force is what gives him his powers. To wield it takes a great deal of training and discipline. He needs your help. But I can't help him until I help the people in that village. You have to help me so that I can help you help him help us all. Yay. Let him sleep. I ain't stopping. I'm not doing anything. I'm just sitting here. Let's see what knowledge is lurking inside that little mind. I can stop and lift charging mud horns. It's insane. It's crazy. Well, in finish, Rags, he was taught by the greatest Jedi masters for many years. You even teach a fucking toddler. Yeah, it was what he asked us. I don't know how much sense that makes. He can do things Yoda couldn't do in his infancy. Wow, Shof. Can't wait for a show where we never have to deal with a fucking force or the fucking Jedi. Menace is looking to us menace way better than a jetpack. Rags, it's the biggest selling point. They're never going to not do it. Even though I'm pretty sure we discussed this back when we saw Season 1, it's like, would it be neat to have a whole show without Jedi? Because, you know, there's a whole galaxy out there is non-Jedi. He doesn't understand. Statistically, most people aren't Jedi. Told you. Yeah, it's like it's an infant. Yeah, weird. Yeah, I was confused about how you would train an infant like this. Her lightsabers look like some kind of... Yeah, razor blades. Razor blades. That's it, yeah. That's much fear in you. Oh god, Vader 2. It's a baby. You're always afraid. It's a strange place with a strange person. Throwin' rocks at me. Throwin' rocks. It's hidden as a villain. Very slowly throwin' rocks at me. That would be a first. I like firsts. Good or bad, they're always memorable. First holocaust. First holocaust. Oh no, they are memorable, right? Tell them to lift it up. All right, kid. Lift the stone. Krogu. He's gonna get out the ball from his pocket. Krogu. Come on. Take the stone. You see? That's my slave name, man. I told you he's stubborn. You freak. Try to connect with him. Get the ball from your pocket, Daddy took and always washed. Have you tried taking your helmet off? Yeah, it'll be the... Yeah, you're right. God, I'm so fucking smart. Wow. Krogu. I'll clearly watch this episode ahead of time. Do you want this? This is all I knew. I feel like if I was Mando, I would have told this holocaust. Yeah, like what he did with the mud horn. Yeah. Like, he is astronomically powerful, inexplicably. I knew you could do it. Very good. He's formed a strong attachment to you. You cannot train him. What? His attachment to you makes him vulnerable to his fears. Oh, we're still doing that. His anger. All the more reasons to train him. Yeah, exactly. All the more reasons to train him. Seeing what such feelings can do to a fully trained Jedi. What they did to one person. Also, as if you don't... Yeah, but this is the horse shit. This is the Jedi horse shit. Yeah, this is the Jedi horse shit. I will not start this child down that path. I must get back to the village. Wow, you Jedi sound great. The magistrates sent me to kill you. I didn't agree to anything. I ain't gonna. And I'll help you with your problem. If you see to it that Krogu is properly trained. Just don't train him shitty. I like how one time it went bad and so no one will ever do it ever again. Tens and tens and tens of thousands of years of it happening. Also it's not... Wasn't Anakin getting trained that made him evil? It was the fucking crazy Sith Lord. Who manipulated him. Yeah. Don't underestimate the magistrate either. Who is she? Morgan Elsbeck. During the Clone Wars her people were massacred. She survived and let her anger fuel an industry which helped build the Imperial Starfleet. So the CIS just go around killing populations? Yeah, looks like she's still in business. Which is weird because one of the whole ideas was that they weren't totally malevolent as like a side they had their motives. Yeah, they had legit grievances against the Republic. And depending on what the Republic did or didn't do I probably would have joined with them. It depends on how shitty the Republic is essentially. The Republic was okay, that's one thing but the Republic was just awful and they didn't do anything for my planet. They're like, yeah I'm joining the CIS, the Republic's not doing shit for us. I don't feel armed. Don't feel armed. I guess he's gonna like, jump off? Yeah. Oh, that's a lot. Oh it's just like Milan. He stopped firing. Yeah. For ages. That guy's got the, you're gonna try and, you're gonna try and fight her with your soft bell dunker? Would you not, Rags? Would you not? Also how easily she just effortlessly sliced through that big bell? But she can't. I'm like, dang. That's not man, you know? I feel like that would have been difficult like the blast doors from episode one. I don't know if it's him or if it's what they wanted him to do. Why hasn't she done this before? How long has she been there? The criticism I'm assuming you're aiming for there for me is what a coincidence that she decided to do all of this one day prior to Mando visiting this place randomly. The way the robots move. I remember liking the way IG-11 moved. Yeah I do too. I have to pick up tiny little details in this show that I like. Like the robots are cool. Mm-hmm. Your bounty hunter failed. Where is your master? Kill her. Love too. But I can't because I have a blaster. Why do you guys think you have a chance? Good question. She's a Jedi. Why did she stand there for so long? I like that move. Oh my god, this is terrifying. Can I have a second blaster? Maybe it works then. No. Poor guy. He was watching this. This is so epic. Get that. I'm going to save him. He kicked her in the face. Why did you move toward him? You want a hug? Take off these guns. You are the resistance. I feel like splitting up is the worst idea when you fight a Jedi. Also close quarters against a Jedi is a really bad idea. Yeah. In alleyways. Like maybe I should just wait here. Wait at the gate. Honestly if I was one of them I'd be like, Guys, it's over. I'm just putting my gun down and sitting down and just like, That one guy on the roof had the right idea. Yeah, he ran away. He got to live. That guy's out somewhere being alive right now. I like hoping a Jedi means walking around and spooking people. Is that the Jedi way to scare the shit out of people? Why did she do that? That cool move. Maybe the robots will have a better chance. Conversing in alien language. So not frog. Not frog. No, they speak robot. I wonder if he's going to get like a boss death. Why don't people shoot shotguns at Jedi? He has a shotgun gun as you can see. Yeah, look at that. Oh wow. He has to do pump action too. And it didn't even work. Fuck off. I guess he just missed. Why would he need pump action with lasers? It looks cool, I guess. Oh, look at it go. Robots are cool. More robots. More robots. They are completely cool on a totally surface level. And it makes me laugh. And they need pistols. Also, it needs to be dawn. He's like, you know what? I don't get paid enough for this shit. Yeah. The Lorraine and the Jedi. Fuck off. I'm out of here. So you're thrown with the Jedi. Because the issue is you have three people just shoot simultaneously and the Jedi's not done for. You know, faking. Oh wow, that cut weirdly. Yeah. Faking his death. The Mandalorians, by the way. I don't see what the point of that was really. They're going to have like a one on one. Oh, are we doing two boss fights at once? Yeah, because with this best guy thing, she's not going to be able to cut through it. Oh my God. Well, she has the force so she can just, that solves that. Take it out of her hand. Yeah. This will be a really easy fight. Unless she's like a sip or something. Maybe. No, this isn't necessary. Just use your force and take her off her feet or just take the spear. Good thing we established Bascar's lights are at saber proof. Mm-hmm. Lots of time walking in this. Why did you walk into spear range? All right. It's a spear. It's used for thrusting. That's no, no. You went the pointy end to facing the back. You can just use the other lightsaber. Yeah, you can just use your gun. Use the other lightsaber. You gotta slid down there. Okay, most you need to do is slid it. Yeah. Yeah. Why not use the force? I guess is she like playing honorably? Like no force? That's dumb. She didn't play honorably with those other guys. Oh, this is still happening. This fight has gone on for way too long. Why do people not stab with spears? Like why do people insist on not stabbing with spears? It bugs me. Mm. What are you doing, Michael Bean? That's embarrassing. I don't know how you managed to fuck that up. She could have killed this so many times by now. We're not so different. Willing to lay our lives down for the right cause. You have a scope on that shotgun? Which this is not. That's not good. That's on the off eye side? I mean, the lasers will travel much further than your average shotgun. Reverse grip means that they're like double damage. Sounds like you win. He's faking it. He's like, well, I guess I work for whoever. He's faking it. No way. That was lame. There was no stakes. Well, that was lame. Mando's immune to fucking death. Why would I care? Yeah, like, what's the point of bringing this actor in? Oh, wow. That was lame. She was so fucking lame. Everything's lame about this fucking program. Where is your master? Where is Grand Admiral Thrawn? Good job, guys. Now the people can live in prosperity and happiness. I like how even the sky is clear now. Now you get to be the leader because we voted last night. Maybe he was the leader in the first place. I don't know. Maybe he was, yeah. The town was on attack. I can't accept. You literally can. I didn't finish the job. Oh, right. I got to kill you. No, but this belongs with Amanda Loran. But I mean, the circus is coming with you, right? No, she's going to go on her own adventures. In her own TV show, Disney Plus. Where is she? Probably. Definitely. I'm pretty sure that's already been confirmed. So does she have no more best scar in her palace? You think that you'd look around and there's probably some really good stuff and they're like a lot of fucking boatloads of money? I don't understand that. That's for the town, right? What is Mando's plan? What is his plan now? He came to find her and that's it. Yeah, we just hit a dead end. Yeah. Yeah. No matter what he does. Taking the job with him, leaving it. It's like, what are we doing now? Maybe Empire will show up now because of that tracker. Well, good thing they didn't show up because they would have gone baby Yoda. It's with the RPG town music right now. Sounds like he was in his own company. Yeah, so the idea is he was going to give away the baby. But something will happen. You're like a father to him. A really shitty one. I cannot train him. We had a deal. You made me a promise and I held up my end. There is one possibility. Go to the planet Tython. There you will find the ancient ruins of a temple that has a strong connection to the force. That fixes our dead end, I guess. Place Krogu on the seeing stone at the top of the mountain. And then run. Then Krogu may choose his path. What? Well, he's an infant. If he reaches out through the force, there's a chance a Jedi may sense his presence. Wow, woman. No, you promised. May the force be with you. Okay, I guess you can just break your promise. Cool, Mando is okay with doing a whole other goose chase. I like that what she told him was you put him on a stone and some Jedi might collect him. Maybe. So I'm just supposed to wait until someone maybe arrives. That's kind of... That's acceptable. Kind of weak. Infant, as he didn't do fuck all of the town, as if he was ever in trouble. He kicked a guy and he shot another. Oh, there you go. Yep. He explains that. I think it's the best of the law. It probably is the best. Oh, yeah. Probably, yeah, the best. I feel like there's a lot of wrong with this. Yeah, like I wouldn't want to rewatch it. You would go with meh, is my... It's the most you. I wouldn't say there's a lot good with it. There's just not a lot that's like bad with it. It was simple. They kept it simple. It was really simple, I think is, yeah, the big thing. But again, she reneged on the deal. Now he's going off on the goose chase. She just flat-out said, no, I'm not gonna... This is kind of funny. You put on a clip. Was it yesterday, Free? Isn't her thing that she's not a Jedi? She doesn't... She doesn't at all like to identify as a Jedi. I think that's the idea from the most like recent... I don't know enough about... Like I said, I've watched some of Clone Wars. I haven't really seen Rebels at all. I just remember that that was a scene from it where she fights Darth Vader. Yeah. She says she's not a Jedi. So I guess she would consider herself to be like just a rogue agent. She was referred to as the Jedi by like everybody and she kind of owned the label here in this episode. I guess we should interpret that as what she is then because this is the most recent one. And Dave Filoni wrote it and he did the Clone Wars. So I was gonna point out that like the fact that he arrived here around about the time she did... It's not convenient to this town plotline because she would have killed them all anyway. It wasn't fucking hard at all. They all suck. Why was Michael being in this? What was the point? So that he could stand around and get shot? He wasn't even a character. He was just random head of security guy. What's up with people who like you see the Mandalorian? You see that he's like resistant to all forms of damage inexplicably. He blasts away everyone that he sees and you're like, oh yeah, well I'm gonna be the one. Yeah, he was so happy with himself once Mando put his hand about three inches away from his pistol. He was like, I've got you now. It's like, okay, so whether or not you draw faster than he does. You did see what he's wearing, right? He has Baskar, which as we now know is indestructible, indestructible basically. Yeah, because this guy has to know what Baskar is. His fucking boss uses the spear. So I guess the blacksmith forge can melt it down, but the heat of a lightsaber doesn't do anything to it? Hmm. Is it like adamantium where you can only melt it once? That's a weird rule they have for adamantium. So how did they get into blocks in the first place? Fuck, I think I might even be, someone out there is going to be like, that's not a rule for adamantium. Okay, I'm pretty sure it's something to do with like, I can't remember if it was X-Men Origins when they're like in liquid form. You have to keep it in liquid form because as soon as it goes solid, you can't liquidize it again. But you're right. How could it be in blocks? Clearly forged and stamped blocks. With the Empire Block on them. Yeah, the lightsaber does not burn as hot as the forge. Interesting. Not to believe, but all right. Yeah. Why not make, it just seems like a missed opportunity. Why not make Hicks be this opportunistic security guard? Yeah. And he's like, once he clearly loses the fight and his men are all dead, he's like, you know what? Same worth it. And he just leaves and we can see him pop up some other time. But now we don't get him again. What was the point? Why was he all so confident? He was so happy to get his job. He's so happy to finally get an acting job and he got this gig to do. And then he shows up. He's like, all right, what do I do? He's like, well, you pretty much stand around for two minutes and then you die. Grogu. They're so lame. All the fights are lame. All of the enemies are just cannon fodder. No one acts as if they're real people. Every place is a dirty grimy shithole. And they've namedropthrawn. I'm sure that was very good for lots of people. They were very happy about that. I don't even know what that means. But yay, I guess. Thrawn is like the tywin of the Star Wars universe. At least that's what I hear. Are you doubted that? No, I doubt it too. I'm just hearing that, oh, this thing is good and Star Wars isn't like not. What I've heard from many is that the Thrawn books are basically the best of the EU content and that Thrawn in Rebels sucks. And everyone doesn't like what they did with him in Rebels. Apparently he's defeated by children in Rebels. Just FYI, I don't have your mastermind villain get beaten by children. It really frustrates people. It happened to give me children several times. Fucking little thing again defeated by two. Or beating an old scar. Yeah, I know. Damn you. And yeah, so if Ahsoka considered this whole thing super important, I don't believe for a second she wouldn't use the force to defeat the opponent instantly. She doesn't even seem to want to kill her first. She's looking for info first. So like why even risk it? If the answer is honor, she's like, okay. Seems honorable to fight with two lightsabers. The gate's subbed without what that seems to be. You didn't care about honor with all those other dudes outside. And that's just me giving the benefit of the doubt. Because imagine like in the Clone Wars it's established that Ahsoka will never use the force on someone if they don't have it themselves or something shit like that. I worry for Mandalorian as a show. I think that Season 3 is probably going to be packed with just Star Wars shit. Or like Reference City. It's slipping further and further towards that. Its own content is thin and weak as fuck. And it's now relying on just references everywhere. It's like hey, clones. It's not even like fun to make fun of it. Midichlorians. Throne. Yoda. Yeah, Jedi. Ahsoka. Jedi. Oba. Jedi Temple. We've seen five episodes. It doesn't feel that way. It feels like nothing's been done. So a season and a half the plotline is while on a bounty hunt, he came across a baby. Decided he didn't want it to die and so had to kill the people who sent him on the quest in the first place. He kind of did, but then during that mission he was told just to take it back to its people. And he decided he has to find Mandalorians to be able to know where its people are. The Mandalorians he happened to find told him to go to Ahsoka. And Ahsoka has told him to go and place the baby on a stone. That is the season and a half plotline. It's kind of weak. But we've had so many wonderful little adventures such as destroying the big reactor on Navarro. That was neat. Remember when he shot the stormtroopers in that hallway? Which one? Which part of that? You know. Oh, that one. Yeah, that one was great. I can't believe he pulled his gun on Mando. Like I've got you now. I just... Gosh, yeah. And where's Austin? He goes like, he's invincible. What are we doing? In fairness to the dude, he hadn't seen the episode where Mando tanked about a thousand shots. Like, Mando's unstoppable. I kind of want him to die. Oh no. I'm not. Just so we can get someone new and interesting. He's so dull. I actually wouldn't mind following Ahsoka compared to him. If I had to choose. I would rather... Just anybody else. Give me anyone to follow who's interesting. Just even slightly interesting. Mando was such a dullard. He constantly wins despite not earning it. Very boring to watch. Oh, there's a bunch of people shooting from cover and you're behind it. How will you defeat them? I will run at them. Okay. They called him courageous for that. Yeah, sure. But yeah, that was the best episode of the lot. Good job. There's some stuff that's neat. There's some stuff that's really not neat. And the rest of it is kind of mad. It's mostly a coherent story. Yeah. That they tell here. Which is a big plus to all the other episodes I've seen. You did it episode 5. You did it. Oh guys, we don't hate everything. It's so funny because like with Disney. Because of course this is still Disney. I just imagine that once they fuck this up they'll just start another show and be like can you give us another chance? I say once they fuck this up. That implies they haven't already. Yeah, we got three episodes left. Nothing but excitement. Right. Oh, Batwoman. Soon, my child. I can't believe I'm... We're sitting here watching this extremely expensive Star Wars show and like I want Batwoman. Bring back Batwoman. Batwoman is content rich compared to this. Yeah, that was episode 5. Thanks for watching everybody. Thank you. See you next time. Yeah, we'll see you next time everybody. See ya. Goodbye. So you're throwing with the Jedi. Who do you think's gonna win? Could be your side. Could be my side. I promised you war. You and I were a lot alike. Willing to lay our lives down for the right cause. Which this is not. This is what it looks like. Sounds like you win. What'd you bring with you? Assaulting a giant temple filled with stormtroopers to place Baby Yoda on a stone and then Baby Yoda will turn to the camera and say I am Lord Vader. This is the way. Oh boy. Take me to Kiadimundi. Oh lame. Where's Kiadimundi? Is he safe? Like he's placed on the stone and it zooms into Kiadimundi's corpse of that planet where he got killed and his eye opens. No, Kiadimundi actually survived that. Like Darth Maul. He has a robot body now. Not organs cause they got shot in all of them. My case? Boba Fett. Was that fate?
