The Mandalorian: The Rescue [2x08] ✦ Watchalong Reaction & Review
Added 2023-08-10 18:29:08 +0000 UTCAlriiiiighty guys, we're at the Season 2 finale! Which I kinda knew was gonna be a good one and yeah, it didn't disappoint at all (aside from one minor nitpick which I'm sure I'm not alone in how I feel about it, but if I am that's okay). I hope you enjoy watching this one with me!
I threw out a ton of speculative/predictive statements in my post-watch thoughts in this video, so please remember not to spoil anything coming up. I'm gonna be flying through it quick anyway, but I def want to continue to be in the dark about as much as possible. [Direct link here.]
Looking forward to reading your comments! Thanks all!

PS. HI! Didn't know there was a credits scene. Just watched it and all I really have to say is it's a fun little teaser for The Book of Boba Fett. Boba and Fennec running Tattooine? Very cool!

Oh man, I bet the theories were wild! I'll def be checking out some reactions to this show, for sure. 😊 I'm looking forward to that. Thanks for watching!

2023-08-11 05:35:10 +0000 UTCI think the x-wing Luke has is the same one he's used since Episode 4 or so. We had NO idea that Luke was going to be in this. People were theorizing everything from a revival of Mace Windu to Ezra coming for Grogu. Of course people also suggested Luke, but it was really up in the air. I HIGHLY recommend finding some reaction videos (there are some great compilations of various reactions) on youtube to the Luke fight scene. I cry every time. The joy of people seeing dreams happen is just amazing. This Luke is what we were all wanting in the sequels and it was a wish come true for a lot of us (minus the bad cgi, just the bad assery of Luke being so powerful). I enjoyed Mando Season 3. It is the weakest season, but I think some of that might have been some forces outside of Dave and Jon meddling a bit in the story. It was a fun season though, lots of cool stuff. Sometimes not everything is a big big hit, but it's still Star Wars and I love it. Now onto Boba Fett!

2023-08-11 04:51:19 +0000 UTCI’m sure I won’t be the only one that tells you that a fan of the show re did the Luke with deep fake technology and Lukas film hired the guy because it looked so much better. Anyway great finally

2023-08-11 04:24:20 +0000 UTCTotally agree on the digital Luke face haha. My only nitpick.

2023-08-11 03:38:36 +0000 UTCWon’t lie this is the first Mandalorian reaction I’ve watched yet. Partly because it’s an awesome episode, partly for your reaction, and partly hoping they went in a cleaned up the digital Luke. They did not. It’s jarring. There are moments he looks like a 2D face photo in front of 1970’s green screen.

2023-08-11 00:26:02 +0000 UTCThey did a whole behind the scenes documentary on this episode and how they pulled off Luke without anyone finding out. Well worth the watch.

2023-08-10 23:27:18 +0000 UTCI had so much to say about this finale but I'll keep it brief ;) The show was running along at a nice 7 out of ten, 8 when Mando fought the dark droid, then the jedi shows up and suddenly it goes up to eleven! Then Mando says a tearful goodbye to Grogu and it rockets to over 9000! Happily we know the episode is at an end... not quite, Little Arthur rolls in and... it's game over. Game over, man! What are we gonna do now? ;) Til next time, my friend :) (points for anyone who gets the references ;)

2023-08-10 19:50:31 +0000 UTCI still tear up when I hear the soundtrack "A Friend" and more so "Open the Door" where we hear John Williams classic Star Wars theme for the first time. This is also the first time we hear any music by John Williams in show so it's a very special moment. The Deepfake was pretty uncanny but most fans could look past that as everything else was just spot on. A youtuber actually improved upon the deepfake and was hired by Lucasfilm so that's really cool. Only real nitpick I personally have with this episode.

2023-08-10 19:46:25 +0000 UTCOh no we fail to tell you there is a mid credit scene at the end of this episode. I always suspected that is why there is no artwork at the end. I will watch the reaction later today, I just skiped to the end to check that. Oh well, that is not that big of a deal, you can always watch it whenever.
