On the one hand, I really would love to see Sebastian Stan play Luke and have a limited role in the series. I don't want it to become the Luke show, but honestly you can't have a series where the main quest is to find Jedi and not at least touch on the most famous known Jedi in the galaxy.
On the other, I REALLY don't want Grogu going with Luke in the end because that means he's training with him with the rest of the new order. You know, the one Kylo and the Knights of Ren slaughter pre-Force Awakens. DO. NOT. WANT.
If pressed, this is my guess for how the rest of the season goes down:
-Din and Grogu go to Tython and Grogu reaches out with the Force -Gideon finds them and manages to take Grogu from Din after a long fight -Luke shows up from Grogu's Force beacon and helps Din look for Grogu -They find Grogu with Gideon and Thrawn on Mandalore, join up with Bo-Katan and possibly also Ahsoka -Season 3 is liberating Grogu and also Mandalore, including appearances by Sabine and Ezra (who has been Thrawn's prisoner on Mandalore) -I'd also appreciate some Order 66 flashbacks for Grogu's backstory...
PS I have no idea if the Thrawn/Ezra thing is true, just makes sense based on what's known so far.

Of course I just realized my plan for the rest of the season would involve Luke and if they're just starting to talk casting that won't happen. Oh well, I can still dream lol

Okay I googled—so the Mandalorian is set a long time before the Last Jedi/Rise of Skywalker? I'd say like 20-30 years before at least. We're looking at a few years post Return of the Jedi here.

Also hi again. I'm desperately behind in all things that are happening on HIH but I was able to pop in here.
I think the fandom would literally implode if they introduced Luke. No matter what they did the fandom would hate it. Fanboys would bitch. Toxic shit would go flying everywhere and any chance of another series would go out the window.
If I could choose I'd take a Jaded Luke over Captain America Luke anyday. But since it's only 9y ABY he's still got home. Sigh.

I really need to catch up on the movies. *Whispers* watch the Clone wars series instead.

And @icedtea a ton of the Mandalorian side characters and stories are explained in the clone wars. Death watch and Bo Karan, Ahsoka Tano, the dark saber, the Mandalorian conflict. But I get that animated series aren't everyone's thing and I'll never knock someone wanting to watch anything star wars.

The last we saw Thrawn, he and Ezra were being carried into unknown hyperspace by the Purrgils and that was before a new hope.

You guys, there is SO MUCH packed into this episode! It's short but SO GOOD. Putting initial reactions behind a spoiler. Don't click until you've watched. {Spoiler}-Din giggling after repeatedly using Grogu's name gave me major heart eyes -Din's complete lack of understanding of the Force is kind of adorable -Grogu reached out and it's magical. And impenetrable? -Fennec's back! -BOBA MOTHERFUCKING FETT FOR THE GODDAMN WIN -RIP RAZOR CREST *sobs* -My guesses were right about one thing so far...

What? What? What did they do!?! Disney wouldn't ruin my Christmas in this of all years, would they? Jon Favreau? You wouldn't, would you? /spoiler]
Ok, I have to practice that spoiler code. There's not just a button for spoilers? Right?

cakewench, thank you! Going to watch the new ep again soon. I haven't felt so sad about a ship since the original Enterprise was destroyed. And when Din picked up the little ball....much wailing at my house today.

We let my mil use our Disney+. I guess she watched the episode earlier today so when mh hit play it went to the last frame of the episode before the credits instead of restarting. We both yelled in horror because talk about spoilers. Mh is really salty about it.

Still sniffling over here, although I loved Cara Dune's change of attitude between saying what her new badge requires and finding out about the 'kid'.
Also, didn't bother me at all that Grogru apparently channels Darth Vader really really well. Little one can take out everyone there. Although I always get confused at the timeline too.
I hope that Doctor Pershing turns into a stand-up kind of guy, though, if the baby ends up back in his hands.

I'm also anxiously googling to see if they revealed the titles for the next two episodes. I mean, can it get worse than Tragedy?

Now I’m not going to be able to go focus on my book. Boba Fett was pretty badass. Loved when he reappeared with the armor in battle.
I was so mad Mando left his jet pack. Grab it and run, you dummy. And did he ever pick it up? He wasn’t wearing it when he was talking to Cara. I guess he could have left it on Boba Fett’s ship with the spear. But he’s been wearing it a ton which I dislike since it interferes with the sexy cape aesthetics.

But then, he was just protecting himself, so I'm here for it.
Also, guys that episode was super short. Why was it so short?

Mh just texted me his theory. I’m still up in my emotions about it so I don’t like it. Oh fuck maybe Boba Fett dies and Mando gets Slave I. Why else would they do the Razor Crest so dirty?
