Let's just get this outta the way.

AAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved it .... but How Bobba can be right here, right now on Tython ?? I know that there is mystery in the galaxy ... but I really do not understand how he could knew that Mando was on his way to Tython ...
Someone has to explain

He's Boba frikkin Fett. There is a reason he has the reputation he has.
I'm thinking he tracked his armor. That makes the most sense.
Which makes even less sense, because he knew Cobb had it. Why not simply demand it from him? Unless he felt he'd have a better chance of explaining the situation to a Mandalorian.

Or why didn't he track it and take it back from the Jawas?
I loved this episode ... very pleasant to watch. The team that is created to save Grogu is amazing ... can not wait for next week

Agreed. I'm happy that Boba won't be a flash in the pan throwback. He's actually getting involved.
A short episode and while its not "filler" its definitely a "set up" episode. It made Boba actually Bad Ass. I know many have always seen him as such but I wasn't one of them. I hope he keeps the robe look with his armor (defines it a bit more). We get an answer to if Jango was Mando or not. The child seemed like he really wanted the Dark Saber. Maybe the memory of any saber training he received. Big Question.....who will answer his call.
Quite. I think, for the most part, Boba was always labeled "bad ass" because he has more tricks than a Swiss Army Knife. But actually seeing him fight in the flesh, and actually
fight was thoroughly satisfying. Speaking of.....anybody else get that satisfaction from the crunch of plastoid armor shattering under blows from a gafferti stick?

But who was Jango found by? According to the history of the Mandalorians, Caseous Fett was the one who long ago standardized the look of the Mandalorian armor. So Fett is an ancient Mandalorian name.
I thought the holding cell scene was a little over done. It is becoming clear that Grogu isn't as naïve as we've been led to believe, so why focus on the first 2 goons that have clearly had enough, instead of turning your attention on the douche and new goons that just entered the room, before you get too tired? I'm still a little perplexed about why Gideon felt the need to show off the saber. However, despite my utter hatred of this saber, its depiction in this series is growing on me.
THE question that will make us discussing about hypotheses and theories during the next 8 months

I don't think we'll be waiting that long. My money is that we'll be given a substantial teaser by the end of this season.
Good lord I can’t win haha. So I decided to avoid this thread until I watched the new episode. Still am, I haven’t actually read any new posts in here just blindly making this reply.
Still accidentally saw a spoiler for today’s episode on the internet cause there was no warning and I clicked on it to see what it was. It was in a “news feed” and wasn’t even labels that it was from the show. Just gonna start avoiding the internet all together on Friday’s. That or just start calling off so I can stay home and watch haha.
I decided to start staying up till midnight on Thursdays so I don't have to avoid this thread.
Ok, watching it for the 2nd Times

During the gun fight, the stormtroopers miss all their shots (as usual) .... and suddenly, they all hit Mando ....

Yeah that. But hey, we got some artillery support.
One (last ?) little thing.
Tython is in the Deep Core in the Legend UE ... I understood that in the new Canon, the planet is now in the Outer Rim (I refer to what Fennec Shand said that she is surprised that the Empire is here as the New Republic controls the Outer Rim )...
YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahsoka made it sound like "Everybody knows where Tython is." And then he just shows up, practically still giggling over learning the kid's name. I'd have thought that even at light speed, getting to Tython would take a couple of days. The Deep Core is not easily traversed. What I thought really lacked about the approach: No Ashla and Bogon. Where are the moons?
So the title is "The Tragedy", and I'm going to say that the tragedy was not losing the Child, but rather having the Crest be blown up.

It was tragic. I was really liking that ship. My only minute gripe: the ball would not have been in the crater, and there would have been a lot more large chunks of ship in the area. Apparently the turbo-laser gunners on Imperial ships are the real threat. Anyone else think that was a little too powerful for a single laser blast? Plus the color. I'm thinking they hit it with a torpedo. Thoughts?
But on the bright side, SLAVE I IS BACK. WOOT WOOT.
Also, it is important to note (as I have been seeing people saying that Din needs to train with the spear) that Din already knows how to fight with a spear. The way he would use his Amban Phase-pulse blaster was like a spear. Even when electrocuting things, it would be like using the tip of the spear. Plus, I'm sure he has had training with a variety of weapons. And it is sad that his rifle is gone. No more disintegrations for him.
Meh. I'd like him to reunite with the Armorer, or at least another one, melt the spear and expand his armor more.
Fixing this
That....gave me chills. If only we could hope it would go this way. Perfectly illustrates the fallacies of both the Jedi and Sith mentalities. The Sith feared death (few exceptions) and spent their energy unnaturally prolonging their lives or refusing to lose any ounce of power. While the Jedi feared that path so rejected all emotional attachment's which lead them to being ill equipped to handle a young, scared and very powerful boys emotions.
Exactly
Speaking of future Grogu design concepts, is the knob from the Razor Crest too small to serve as a pommel for a Yoda-sized lightsaber?
Excellent thought. Or maybe mod it to be the emitter. Possible incorporate it into the body as a crystal chamber.
I just worry about the future because I wanna see him grow up and become a cool character but then where was he during the last trilogy? Although I like to still pretend it doesn’t exist.
Easy. The abysmal ST is retconned into the bad dream that it always should have been (read "was). Grogu and Luke are best buds, bouncing around the galaxy like SW Adventure Time. (Math)
Also I have a prediction. With the Razor Crest gone, Boba Fett will die saving Grogu and Mando will inherit the Slave I.
I really hope that this scenario won't play out for at least till the end of season 3.
Thoughts not covered:
Despite my gripes of this episode, I have to admit, it was by far the best one they've produced. Bar none.
- I thought they did a particularly poor job of writing Mando this episode, but that may have been in order to put emphasis on Boba. Seriously, how many frikkin times does it take to sink in that you are NOT getting through the Force barrier. If it were me, I'd have made my stand at the site and not run off.
- Was very confused why Boba felt more threatened by Mando's jetpack rather than the blaster in his hand.

- I understood, but didn't like the obvious design tie-in of the Imp drop ships to the design of the FO ships. UGH!
- Seriously, WTF is a chain code?
- They goofed (no surprise). Tusken rifles are what is known in-universe as "slug throwers". They may not necessarily fire with ballistic cartridges, but they have always fired a projectile instead of the traditional blaster bolt.
- I thought Fennic's new hydraulics were superfluous kitsch. Why couldn't he have just found her, taken her somewhere, and nursed her back to health. It's been my understanding, even in the realm of SW, that cybernetic medicine requires state of the art facilities. Basically the kind you're NOT going to find on Tatooine. Also, why would she need a patch in her clothes to show it off? So yeah...don't tell me about "not in the CGI budget." That was dumb. But I am glad to see Fennic again. Ming Na always....brings a smile to my face.

- I thought Boba got way too close to the cruiser to not be shot down.
- Anybody else catch the stupid when Boba put on the armor? Why would Mando reload the rocket, and where did he "just happen to get" the exact make and type that Boba always loads. -_- Seriously? Like we wouldn't know it was Boba unless the rocket matched? And then there was the whole misfire. It would have been cooler had he actually planned what really went down. But we have to insert a dumb joke.

- I was....kinda...sorta glad they explained the whole badge scene from Ep4 better. He was basically attempting to deputize her.
- And one of the better parts of this episode: MAYFELD is back.
