2:05 That's crazy, I have glass jars with wood tops just like that for having iced coffee!
I’m still shook by how speechless i was to see LUKE!!!!
Kara Thrace, again on a ship with launch tubes.
18:00 Really surprised you didn't realize it was Luke the second you saw the X-Wing. Or by the fact we knew it was Jedi associated with the Rebel Alliance (given he was flying a T-65B X-Wing). And then if neither of those gave it away, the moment we saw the green-bladed grenade-hilt lightsaber.
– Misc. Fact: Luke's green-bladed lightsaber was originally made from the female end of the balance pipe to a Rolls Royce Derwent 8/9 jet engine, a 1916 No. 3 WWI Mk1 British Rifle Rod grenade, a Graflex 3-Cell Camera Flash Gun clamp (same as the Skywalker Lightsaber's), and a sink faucet knob for the pommel (specifically an Armitage Shanks "Starlight" model faucet knob).
19:29 Around this time period, Luke was just beginning to rebuild the Jedi Order. But aside from that, he's a high-ranking General in the New Republic's military (alongside Leia, Han, and Lando).
A reminder of the Darksaber's chain of ownership so far:
Tarre Vizsla (~c. 1050 BBY)
Creator of the Darksaber. He built it sometime after 1050 BBY, when he was inducted into the Jedi Order. Following his death, the Darksaber was entombed within the Jedi Temple. However, it was later stolen by members of House Vizsla, becoming a symbol of Mandalorian leadership.
Tor Vizsla (-c. 42 BBY)
Descendent of Tarre Vizsla. Mand'alor and wielder of the Darksaber until his death in 42 BBY. Following his death, it is unknown what happened to the Darksaber, though it was next seen in the possession of his descendant, Pre Vizsla.
– Note: Jango Fett was Mand'alor after Tor Vizsla and before Pre Vizsla, though he never had the Darksaber.
Pre Vizsla (-c. 19 BBY)
Descendant of Tarre Vizsla, he was the rightful holder of the Darksaber and mantle of Mand'alor during the Twilight of the Republic era (the last decades of the Republic) until he was killed in ritual combat by former Sith, Maul in 19 BBY.
Maul (19 BBY – 2 BBY)
Former Sith Lord. He allied with and later betrayed Mand'alor Pre Vizsla in 19 BBY, claiming the Darksaber and title of Mand'alor. After being confronted by Darth Sidious shortly after, Maul was imprisoned by the Sith Master as the Darksaber was recovered by Prime Minister Almec and the Mandalorian Super Commandos, and returned to Maul after being freed from the Spire prison by Rook Kast (whom many currently believe is The Armorer). By 2 BBY, the Darksaber was at the Nightsisters' Lair on Dathomir, left by Maul. It was later taken by Mandalorian Sabine Wren after Maul abandoned it to leave for Tatooine to face Kenobi.
– Maul was present and able to fight when the Darksaber was taken by Sabine and Ezra, so it can be said that despite Sabine not earning it in ritual combat (at least not yet), Maul's willing abandonment of the Darksaber legitimized Sabine's claim to it.
– Since Ezra was also Maul's apprentice (if only briefly and barely), it could be argued that Ezra was a "rightful inheritor" of it when Maul abandoned it, since he picked it up and gave it to Sabine when they left Dathomir.
Sabine Wren (2 BBY)
After taking it from Dathomir, Sabine soon after learned to wield the Darksaber thanks to training from Jedi Knight Kana Jarrus. After defeating Gar Saxon (the current "leader" of Mandalore under the Empire's occupation), who was wielding the Darksaber at the time in ritual combat (herself using Ezra's lightsaber), her claim to the Darksaber was legitimized. Though Sabine would break tradition by simply giving it to Bo-Katan Kryze in order to unify the remnants of the Mandalorian people.
*Bo-Katan Kryze (2 BBY – ?)
After being given the Darksaber by Sabine, Bo-Katan wielded it as Mand'alor until she lost it in combat to Gideon prior to 9 ABY.
Moff Gideon (? – 9 ABY)
At some point between 2 BBY and 9 ABY, Bo-Katan lost the Darksaber in combat to the Imperial Moff, Gideon. It was soon claimed by Din Djarin in combat.
End of season 2 and I was, "Finally! Now we've got rid of that little pest we can get on with some real Mandalorian action that others have been fanboying about".
Then we got "The Book of Boba Fett" <sigh> I guess Jon Favreau had only so much in the tank and it had to run dry at some point…
Artoo would still make a better babysitter than Chopper.
😁
Years later I still get chills seeing Luke for the "first time" since the original trilogy. I knew that was his X-wing, Red Five, as soon as it came into the landing bay. The black robe, the black glove, the green saber, the silver belt buckle. He even showed off some of his father's flair in the battle with the Dark Troopers, showing a balance in the Light and Dark side by crushing that last one just like his father would have crushed a windpipe on a deck officer.
this story line picks up in the book of boba fett watch that before season 3
Dewit
Making Luke the badass he is supposed to be as he single handedly takes out 32 dark troopers like rhey were B1 battle droids shows his power
I was late to seeing the Mandalorian, so by the time I watched this episode, I had heard about Luke's appearance. But it still gave me butterflies when the X-Wing landed and he proceeded to wade through the Dark Troopers like a Jedi master should.
Everybody could use a nap and some snacks ❤😂 You're right when they were all together that's a team I would take anywhere ❤💪
they destroy it in season 3. just like all the other worthless star wars shows.
Now it's on to "The Book Of Boba Fett"!!! Can't wait, Emme!
they also fire gina carrano over some seriously stupid shit that was purely political so they lose one of the best if not the best character in the series.
Man, I’ll never forget the emotional wreckage this episode left me in. This was really something special.
"Bro, Whaaaat!" 🤣🤣😂😂
The cool thing is you can see the sheer terror on Gideon's face when he realizes just who is coming to them. You have to remember Luke is basically the boogeyman to the Empire remnants at this point. He's the guy who blew up the first Death Star and was in a room with The Emperor and Vader on the 2nd Death Star and was the only one to come out alive. He's the last person Gideon wanted to see.
To be fair, us grown men started crying once we saw the green lightsaber…
It was the gloved hand that gave it away for me. As soon as I saw that, my first thought was "Who do I know that has a green lightsaber and a robotic hand? hmmmm?" lol
I will never tire of looking at this work of art
Next shoud be a Book of Boba Fett, there is iportant episodes with Mandalorian (between seaon 2 and 3) and Luke.
lol "wub wubs"
This episode has everyone in tears, for this was not just Luke Skywalker; it was the Luke Skywalker denied to fans in the Sequel Trilogy by Darth Kennedy the Woke and her apprentice Darth Rian.
This is one of my favourite moments in star wars , cuz it puts into perspective just how absurdly fucken overpowered a trained force user is.
We got civillians
Trained army
Then we got special forces
Then we have advanced droids
Then we got Mandalorians who are literally born warriors
Then we have the mandalorian elite (like the best of the best)
Then it is shown that a mandalorian is struggling with a dark trooper.
And then comes a master jedi and fucken washes 30 dark troopers by themselves.
We dont get that in the other movies that much cuz they are from the perspective of a jedi/sith.
But here we really come to see what these dudes actually are capable of.
Which somehow makes sidious and vader more terrifying cuz they were arguably 2 of the strongest force users ever.
Really puts into perspective as to what the hell we were going up against and why people were afraid. To a normal everyday bloke, These dudes are literal gods.
I was waiting for you to get here, This is where the fun begins!
Luke Skywalker. Rescueing people since 1977.
Here is what the death troopers are thinking when they are taking forever to punch through the door. "It's no use. It's made of solid cardboard."
That screech you hear when Mando appears on screen is from a recorder, a sort of wooden flute, which is also the instrument that plays those wispy duh-DAA, duh-DAAAAA, notes that are also part of Mando's theme. If you blow hard into the mouthpiece of a recorder, it produces that piercing shriek sound. I think composer Ludwig Goransson really likes the sound.
