So there’s this moment, after Luke says “May the Force be with you.” that Din is watching Grogu leave, but there’s a focus on Cara Dune for a long moment as well.  And maybe she’s saying goodbye to Grogu as well, that she’s the only one who gets a close-up because she’s the only one in the room that had much interaction with him other than Din. But I am 100% choosing to believe that the soft smile on her face is because she knows that’s Luke Skywalker.  Cara was from Alderaan, she was a shock trooper for the Rebellion, there’s no way she didn’t at least know who Leia Organa was, that’s her princess, so it makes sense that she’d know who Luke and Han were as well, certainly enough to recognize him. I’m not sure if the galaxy knows that Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa were siblings at this point (though, of course, the public didn’t know that Darth Vader was Anakin Skywalker yet), but either way, that look on her face totally said to me, “Yeah, she knows that’s Luke Skywalker, she knows Grogu is going off to train with the most famous Jedi currently in the galaxy, the guy who blew up the Death Star, the guy who defeated Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine, who is a close friend of her princess, the hero of the Rebellion that she served for so long.” CANON UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE:  CARA TOTALLY RECOGNIZED HIM AND FILLED DIN IN ON WHO EXACTLY THAT WAS AFTERWARDS.

The last episode of the Mandalorian is called "The Rescue" because in 10 minutes it succeed on rescuing the whole Star Wars franchise and restored Mark Hamill/Luke Skywalker's legacy.

Luke: I’ve never been in a snowball fight before. I don’t know what to do

y/n: what?

Luke: is there a point system or is it to the death?

The Mandalorian | Chapter 16: The Rescue

[maybanxhood]

“He doesn’t want to go with you.”  “He wants your permission.”  I didn’t think anything could destroy me like that, but I am absolutely gutted by it, how Grogu must have felt torn between these two worlds, how the Force called to him, how connecting with that energy field that was woven so deeply into his soul, feeling at war with how he loves Din and has such a strong attachment to him, and possibly even that Grogu himself knows that his feelings for Din are potentially so very dangerous, he apparently understands a lot.  How much might he have understood about what happens to Jedi who fall prey to attachment, to the desire to own people, to possess them, as that’s what attachment is, not love, but the desire to keep them for yourself because you are afraid to live without them. The way he perks up when he senses Luke, the way Luke clarifies that Grogu’s hesitance isn’t because he doesn’t want to go, but because he cares about Din and wants his permission, wants his approval, because he loves Din. That just destroyed me, thinking about how hard that must have been for Grogu, to parse his feelings that way, after everything he’d been through, all the sheer terror of the genocide of the Jedi, then of all the years in between that he’d been kidnapped by the Empire or by pirates and by Moff Gideon again, that it keeps happening.  That it’ll keep happening, whether it’s Moff Gideon or someone else looking to profit off a Force-sensitive in this shitty, shitty galaxy. And how much Grogu must have wanted to go with Luke.  To go with a Jedi that was Grogu’s earliest memories, that was someone he could speak to through the Force and have them understand him back, to understand what this tremendous connection to the galaxy means.  To have it in your mind and heart the entire time. But to also honor his connection with Din, especially since I assume they’ll eventually be brought back together, but right now it was Grogu’s decision to want to go and he did want to go, so Din let him go, because that’s the heart of Star Wars, that if someone wants to go, you let them.  You love them, you protect them, but you don’t own them. Din, too, had to struggle with this and his willingness to let Grogu go was heartbreaking but also I have never loved Din Djarin more, for the strength it took to do that.

can y’all just be GRATEFUL!? Yeah I’m upset over Grogu and Din being separated but, it was still a damn good episode. too bad some fans need to find any way to complain . And stop saying Dins storyline is over...... y’all act like he doesn’t have the freakink Darksaber

MANDALORIAN NATION HOW ARE WE DOING?

As much as i.. did not like the finale, there is nothing more funny to me than din asking perhaps the most well recognised hero in the galaxy - who he just witnessed tear through a platoon of dark troopers whilst wielding both a lightsaber and the force, if he is a jedi

That was... well that was a lot
