Well it does fit the narrative of Daniel wanting something better for the kids besides jail? I mean he let Johnny keep the van the whole season.

I thought the season was on par... but mostly for the nostalgia factor. Chozen doing the HOOOONK was absolutely my favorite scene even though it was predictable.

I already know that Kreese's flashback buddy and the one he called is gonna be Terry Silver from KK3
 

Honestly, I'm glad Grogu is out. The premise was interesting but I hate baby's being the crutch that holds down the protagonists. Just like in the TWD. Judith died in the comic at the prison, but she lived in the TV show and was always an unnecessary plot device to add tension. Now she's a master zombie samurai. 🙄

Anyways. I'm conflicted. But in a good way. I really wanted it to be Cal. But the Luke scene was amazing. They gave fans what they wanted, and that was to see Luke kick ass post OG Trilogy style. Lets face it. The saber battles of the OG were slow and pretty much not good by today's standards. That's fine, the movies didn't need them... but once Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan vs Maul happened, a new standard was set forever. And to get to see Luke go hard in that style was awesome. The surprise was def not much of a surprise once the X-Wing showed up... and then the black glove... For any real fan we all knew who it was before the hood came off.

Now with the child out, It'll be interesting to see the tension between Mando and Bo-Katan. Clearly they'll fight, but at what cost? It would be cool to see Sabine in season 3. I want at least ONE light-hearted filler ep with Hondo dammit! I need an ep with his shenanigans.

Seismic Charge! That made this episode for me. That was my favorite scene in Attack of the Clones, and pretty much one of my most favorite sound effects ever.
 

There are so much speculation on who Grogu contacted.

Luke: Nah.. Mark Hamill already said he isn't doing any more Luke roles, and they probably wont recast. It would make little sense to me... but its better than the next theory They'd have to de-age him, or deep fake someone elses face.

Mace Windu: C'mon? They can't afford Samuel L. Jackson. As cool as this would be, I don't see it happening... both Hamill and Jackson wouldn't do more than a single ep, so such a big moment wouldn't make since for either. It would just be wasted.

My wild guess is it could be Cal Kestis. By the time Mandalorian starts, Fallen Order has already taken place. The end of the game matches up with what is going on here to be as least spoilery as possible. Plus Cal's game model is a body scan of the actor. Cameron Monaghan could easily play the role, and would be more affordable. Plus it would be another awesome cross over for the series. And would make marketing since for the second game.

Another possibility is Ezra Bridger. Since Ahsoka and her mention of Thrawn have already been established, along with Bo-Katan already making an appearance, Having Ezra show up would also make sense. Since its implied that Thrawn survived the end of Rebels, we can only assume the same for Ezra. Cal would be cooler to have multiple tie ins, but it would probably be easier to just keep using rebel characters as more people are familiar with them than a game character.

Fucking Boba Fett.... and him just kicking ass! What a scene! Looks like we got him for the last 2 eps too! Just seeing Slave 1 fly in at the start did it for me. Now that the Razor Crest is gone, hopefully Din will get a good ship.

They even pulled her little move in there! OMG so fucking epic! Dawson killed it. She even sounded pretty close to the OG voice actor. She got the mannerisms down. Although you could tell some of her moves were a CGI character, and the whole episode was heavy on the CGI for that reason. Still Dave Filoni brought the animated series feel to the live action. I also thought it was cool how her Sabers had a different hum to them. And mentioning Thrawn at the end? OMG. I can't wait to see what's to come.
