I was a little puzzled when Din started talking about looking for the Jedi - I didn’t think he had connected the Child to the Jedi, he was just looking to return it to “its people.” Where did that get filled in for him?

The Armourer told him about sorcerers and called them Jedi at the end of last season.

It's not like he's been near a good library, and I think this EU doesn't have an internet analogue. ...and now I absolutely want to see the Mandalorian in a library. vvv: Ah, though it might also make sense if Din in particular wants to stay off that near literal grid, and I imagine the Empire has done a lot of content purges.

They still have the Holonet in new canon. It comes up in Rebels a few times. Though in a context which makes it seem more like Imperial state tv service than like something you could use to google up “short green wizard species”

Also feels like a female character just having a kid dumped on her to be raised for an indefinite amount of time is a bit iffy.

I don't think Ahsoka will have any lightsabers, she left them behind to fake her death and doesn't want anything to do with the Jedi. I don't think she'll want to raise baby Yoda either, she thought Yoda was a stupid dick (she's right).

Y’all crazy if you think she’s not gonna have lightsabers. We just probably won’t see them until the last five minutes of the final episode of this season.

They simply can't have a Star Wars product without some form of Lightsabers showing up. Solo almost made it the entire runtime until Maul shows up and ignites his for no goddamn reason, and then Mandalorian season one busted out the Darksaber (which at least is a cool variation on it that hasn't been seen in live action)

Until Solo, threepio and artoo held that title. Th Armorer speaks similarly to the way Yoda does in a couple of those lines Armorer is The Child’s parent. I’m blowing this wide open.

I'm always a little surprised that lightsabers aren't more common in the Star Wars. Yeah, there's the whole "dangerous to use" thing, but that's never really slowed anyone down before with anything else dangerous to the operator. There were probably catalogs that you could order licensed reproductions of all your favorite Jedi's lightsabers.

Yeah, there's the whole "dangerous to use" thing, but that's never really slowed anyone down before with anything else dangerous to the operator. Ahsoka maybe aside, the only person who knows how to make a lightsaber at this point is Luke Skywalker and he's on "Jedi walkabout" and not interested in a "work from home" business of making lightsabers for sale. It's a bit like saying that nuclear weapons should be more common in our world. That's the level of materials rarity and knowledge of making that we're dealing with in terms of lightsabers. One plot point about Ahsoka was that at the end of Rebels she and Sabine Wren were planning to look for Ezra Bridger. It could be that that search is still ongoing and she might bow out of being a Jedi Mom until that's finished. Plus it gives us the possibility of Din joining them on that search. Which gives us live action Sabine Wren. And if they find Ezra, we get him in live action. And given who he was last with... Dear God, if this show gives us live action Grand Admiral Thrawn I will weep with joy.

Din: "I'm looking for a Jedi named Ahsoka Tano." Ahsoka: "Oh, what does she look like?" Din: "Dunno. Like a Jedi, I guess. Green, pointy ears, about yea high..." Ahsoka: "What do you want from her?" Din: (a bunch of rude stuff that he's going to regret when he finds out who Ahsoka really is)

Everyone posted:Dear God, if this show gives us live action Grand Admiral Thrawn I will weep with joy. If they kill off Gideon suddenly at the end of this season to introduce Thrawn, I would have mixed feelings. If he took the Darksaber and just kinda gave it back to Bo-Katan though, that'd be a great anti-climax.

What makes lightsabers workable in a setting with laser guns all over the place is that Jedi have training, reflexes, and force sensitivity to deflect blaster bolts. Your average dude bringing a lightsaber to a fight would probably just result in them getting turned to swiss cheese.

Was telling my buddy that since Mando has Boba Fett’ armor, there’s a real possibility that Mando gets his god-mode armor stolen off of him and he has to wear Boba’s armor to get it back.

You would think Yoda would be more famous being the guy that could order 50 trillion dollars worth of clones and ships at one point. Star Wars needs a Star Press.

I mean that's kind of been a weird problem in all of Disney's Star Wars material: Jedi somehow get mythologized into this long forgotten fable most people dismiss out of hand despite them having fought prominently in a gigantic, galaxy spanning war within living memory. Like I get that most people outside the temple wouldn't know too many of the specifics, but you'd think at least the bare minimum of "yeah the Jedi were these super powerful warriors who fought in the war decades ago. They used lightsabers and could move poo poo with their mind" would permeate through the Republic citizenry.

I think part of it is that as far as we know there isn't a kind of galaxy internet or the equivalent as far as we know and most people even during the Clone Wars probably never even saw a Jedi. Sure there were like a thousand Jedi before Order 66 but that's in a galaxy of trillions. I'm sure that a lot of people have heard of the Jedi but probably don't believe The Force exists. Especially considering Sheev went out of his way to bury and destroy everything about the Jedi he could. Mando and the Armorer probably didn't know about them because they're weird isolationist religious fundamentalists.

This became weird as soon as the Prequels were made, see the Death Star conference room scene. And that featured many men who FOUGHT in the Clone Wars.

If the last four years have taught me anything, it’s extremely easy for a powerful government to obfuscate, bury, and outright lie about the truth and get the population to buy it wholesale without question. So yeah, I have no problem imagining the Empire destroying all mention of the Jedi and turning them from fact to myth. The galaxy had 20+ years of Sheev screaming FAKE HOLONEWS and I WON THE CLONE WAR.

Also presumably the number of people who had seen a Jedi, even before Order 66, was maybe like 0.1% of the galactic population right? There may have been people who didn't believe they existed in the first place.
