Thinking about the pile of armor, I don’t think the Mandos died.  I think they removed their armor and blended in with the populous and disappeared.  I thought the armorsmith mentioned something like that.
They'll die before removing their helmets.

It’s a 48 min show but I wish they made it seems like hours transpired in the tunnels to fit the bacta timeline IG 11 gave because Mando recovered in 5 minutes show time

So is Moff Gideon a former Mandalorian or did he just take that Darksaber from a Mandalorian he killed?
View Quote
No he’s a former imperial intelligence officer promoted to Moff, never a Mandalorian and I hate losing Herzog in the show but Esposito is a good actor so at least we have him in the bad guy role now. Sucks losing Nick Nolte too. I think the well known actors, acting has given weight to the show

There was a scene cut in the tunnels and after that Cara commented about the tunnels being a maze.  I suspect they were walking in circles for quite a while.

I’ve only watched ep 8 on my iPad so can’t wait to watch it in 4k on my home theater tonight.  I suspect there are lots of details to see.  Like the shots being consumed...

Yeah, they got the hell out of there.

Notice the proportions of the Moff in comparison to the size of the tie fighter.  They botched that up badly.  Oh well.  I’m too picky.

When the Armorer went all River Tam on the Storm Troopers.
The three helmets on the work bench?  None of those look quite right for his helmet.

Got it, it read like a response on the fate of Heavy Mando.

It is, but not that small.  The proportions look very off to me, and with my touch of OCD I notice stupid little stuff like that.

I couldn't sleep last night and one of the times I was wandering around the house trying to stay out of the fridge I realized the new episode had dropped.

Watching it with the kids this morning was a lot more fun, I don't nit-pick and the corny sorta-clever parts, like bad-shooting scouts, was a big hit.  It's a good show, but with little kids it's a GREAT show.

No real cliffhanger, instead simply more unanswered questions that drives entertaining speculation.

I need to forge a Beskar hammer.  The bearded flat face doesn't really make sense, I guess it could work as a flatter but I suspect they just wanted a similar look as a bearded axe.

At first I thought I didn’t want to see Boba Fett drug into this show.

With all of the explanation of Mandalorian creed/ways/honor etc, and knowing that Fett was essentially a stolen valor mercenary wearing the armor unaffiliated with the true mandalorians, it might be interesting to see him show up. Having to face a guy who is pretty much wearing the sacred armor of Mando’s people while doing vile shit might make for a cool story arc

Excellent episode.  I have to change my mind and declare ep 8 the best of the series.

Did they save money by just using footage of mando from the GOT’s fight vs the mountain?

Gina’s cara was great.  I miss quill and IG.

Really well done first season and I’m really glad mando will be traveling the galaxy looking for Jedi.

Is the darksaber just a standard lightsaber with a black blade? It looked like it had some curve, and the shape of a real blade. Like it’s a beskar sword, with a sheath of lightsaber energy around it.
