We begin the episode with a great Star Wars dogfight against TIT fighters, and pivot back to Coruscant, from the prequel trilogy, for an episode about political intrigue and falling to the dark side. Dr. Pershing is slowly being drawn back into the Empire, so he can probably clone Palpatine. We think.

#Mandalorian #EasterEggs #episode3
The political intrigue and world-building were straight out of Andor, it had a blockbuster-level dogfight with tie fighters, and it moved the overall story of the Mandalorians to a new phase I can’t wait to break this down and explain how all of this is carefully laying the groundwork for the rise of the First Order. And it shows us exactly why the new republic failed,
So let’s get into these easter eggs.
The star wars intros before each show have been slightly different with the bad batch featuring charters more from the film-produced shows, like imperial cadets and General Grievous. The characters here tend to be from Favreau-produced shows. We have Vader, R2, Fennec Shand, a TIE pilot, Bo Katan, an IG droid, a scout trooper, armorer, and of course the Mandalorian.
The name of the episode is The Convert, which has a couple of different meanings. First, we have Pershing, who has been converted to the new republic. But also, Elia Kane seems to be slowly converting him to the First Order, which I’ll explain a little later on.
And finally, Bo Katan seems to have her own religious conversion. Last episode she saw the mythosaur, and she can’t shake that from her mind. It was a near-mystical experience, something she couldn’t explain. [Clip] And by the end of the episode, she has been accepted back into the Way. This season has been filled with religious subtexts including a baptism, a passage from the book of Exodus, and episodes called the apostate and the convert. The question we’ll talk about later is, is Bo Katan really a convert, or like Elia Kane, is she just faking it to get what she wants?
Doug: So what do you mean about the mythosaur?
Well, we talked about this last week, so I don’t want to get too far into this. But basically, the mythosaur are these giant beasts that are native to Mandalore, and the earliest Mandalorians rode them around and named them–that’s why the mythosaur skull is their symbol. They believed they were extinct, except for one prophecy that the armorer mentioned [mythosaur rising].
So the question we’ll talk about in just a bit is what this actually means for the Mandalorian people. Will This mythosaur literally rise and help them to take back their world? Will the people unite around Din Djarin as the leader, since he has the dark saber?
I find it very interesting that she does not tell Din about the mythosaur. She asks him if you see anything]. I’m not sure if she is asking because she can’t trust him, or if she wants to keep the secret to herself. See, Bo-Katan wants to be the leader of mandalore, more than anything else. She tried to retake the world but thought the dark saber everyone abandoned her.
So she must be thinking, is there a way I can use that mythosaur to become ruler of my planet and save my people? Can I use the Mythosaur to regain power?
Doug: Or maybe she’s just spiritually confused.
That’s true. Maybe she really is questioning everything she thought she knew about her people and the myths of old. She might be a genuine convert. But those are questions we’re also asking about Pershing and Elias Kane all through this episode.
So din says he didn’t think there would be canyons like that, and Bo Katan replies [bomings opened chasm]. And I think this explains where the Mythosaur came or. In a great clone wars episode, the republic sets off an electro bomb that opens up a huge underground cavern housing a Zillo beast. Basically, a kaiju that terrorizes coruscant–and actually, that they took away to clone. That’s a connection to this episode.
The same thing could have happened here–the bombing opened up a crater where a Mythosaur was hibernating for centuries–or there are hundreds of them living underground, like a hollow earth theory.

Poodoo was saod by Jabba first in return of the jedi
I still don’t really understand Elia Kane’s intention behind betraying Pershing. He was obviously going to work on introducing and improving cloning technology so why the need to get him captured and tortured?
Is it me or is Ryan's shirt a much darker blue?
The first time we heard "POODOO" was Return of the Jedi
Grogu’s first words shouldn’t be this is the way it should be. This is the force or the force is the way.
I liked this episode but the only problem i had was the lack of mando in his show. I was interested in dr pershings story and stuff and seeing the new republic, but did it need to take up pretty much the whole episode? I was sitting there watching and occasionally wondered, "wheres mando?" Its almost like the book of boba fett where mando took up a whole episode when it really isnt necessary. I know they're setting stuff up tho, so maybe i will appreciate it more later on
So if the new republic wanted to look completely different from the empire, why do their officer uniforms resemble the empires so much? They removed the double breast, recolored it, and added an eggshell.
Love this channel 😊
Did he say" Crisp Meth" flavor?
I think the mythosaur is Bo's way to work around not having the dark saber. What's the dark saber when when she comes riding in on an ancient beast that was ridden by their ancestor, and has thought to be extinct. Lol where this could backfire is Din could somehow end up being the one who takes it having both a Mythosaur and the dark saber solidifying his status as ruler of Mandalore.
I thought it was the worst episode. Smart enough to be a doctor, stupid enough to fall for the lady dudes plan that I didn’t even care to remember her name
She could have done that to fry Pershing's brain so he can't reveal secrets he knows to the new republic.
How do you go from epic TieFighter scene to compete garbage acting. The glow-n-dark popsicles was the worst. SE 3 blows
The Coruscant part of the episode was just complete garbage. Cheesy acting and dialogue. Claustrophobic and cheep feeling atmosphere and cgi. And a plot that seems like it was written by someone that doesn’t respect the audience’s intelligence, and was constrained by Disney forcing these shows to connect to the sequel trilogy
Eventually you Disney shills will catch on and start to realize that they are not good at live action streaming shows
Lol! Even the actors don’t get how the hell Palpatine returned. “Somehow Palpatine Returned” can be a tshirt
20:38 – I'm not hearing any similarity in the music.
Enjoyed the breakdown but holy crap chill w the cut-to-reference bits.. at least a little
The forced high five……
This is just… heading into a bad direction.
This is not the way.
The puppy and the stupid voice he does for the puppy are why I never finish these videos anymore. I'll click on it like "why haven't I watched these videos in a while?" Then he instantly reminds me.
if it belong to star wars its not easter egg. indys whip would be easter egg
Your dog has had a hair cut ❤
What a terrible episode…
I'll give you one guess as to where all those 'decommissioned' Imperial parts are going…and it's not Craigslist
A funny little easter egg you didnt mention is the box pershing uses to collect his lab stuff. Its just a festool box repainted with a few lights stuck on. ( Festool are a high end power tool company)
We first heard 'poodoo' in Return of the Jedi.
Did anyone else notice that if you activate captions Grogu is now babbling instead of cooing like in the first two seasons.
The plight of these ex-Imperials mimics that of the post WW1 Germans, where a highly motivated, committed and capable peoples were subjugated and economically repressed following their defeat, which ultimately led to an evil group of individuals taking advantage of that dissent and rising to power even worse atrocities than the group before them
I bet thats not a real mythosuar. They're all dead, they have deadly things on the planet guarding it. Eye-ball Grievous, those critters near the surface, and people lying that the planet is poisoned.
The first order is hiding something there. a cloning lab?
had to skip a huge amount of this one… and the previous episode as well….#
U loved the pedido de but I felt like they lingered too long on the doctor. The show is called The Mandelorian not the former imperial doctor 🤣. It gave me flashbacks to the book of mando, i mean the book of Boba Fett 🤣
I first heard “poodoo” when Jabba the Hut says it in ROTJ
That turn Bo Katan did is reminiscent of the Crazt Ivan from Firefly.
