#the mandalorian chapter 19

[rapha-reads]

Hm. The Mandalorian deciding to introduce political narratives, in-depth universe building and complex side characters is not exactly what I was expecting, but I actually don't mind, I love a good Star Wars lore building.

Elia Kane is interesting. Can't exactly understand her objectives, but she's definitely playing a double game. And she was after Baby Yoda, so it's sure that she'll be important to the main plotline at some point. I love Omid Abtahi, but I had to remind myself every time the Doc spoke that he wajts to continue and use Kamino's research, and no, just, no. Though I did feel pity when she betrayed him.

paz constantly being salty whenever din arrives is the only stable relationship i have in my life

That episode actually scared me a bit.

Because it really shows how easy it is to be gaslit.

A lot of characters said in the episode the New Republic wasn’t affecting them much differently than the Empire. Did they feel the same earlier? When the Republic became the Empire? Did they even care as long as they weren’t the ones being noticed or affected by empirical tyranny?

What the Empire and the New Republic did have in common is they were big. Too big. A trillion people on Coruscant alone, and Dr. Pershing was only one person. His HR officer was a droid, which adds to the facelessness of the New Republic because even thought they (we assume as the audience) actually care about the people they cannot take care of them all.

There’s only one person who really talks to Dr. Pershing. And she convinces him to cross tiny lines without even realizing he’s done so. And once each line is crossed it’s easier for him to cross the next one in service of a larger goal. It’s just a box of biscuits. It’s just a train ride. It’s just going a little outside the area. It’s just taking some equipment no one else is using.

And then by the time he realizes what’s going on, it’s too late. It’s too late for Dr. Pershing. Because he’s not the only one who’s crossing the little lines in service of a larger goal.

But the thing for me is that I could easily see this happening the other way around. A scientist in the Empire, not knowing exactly what he’s doing but knowing he could be doing actual good. A secret rebel trying to convince someone to engage in little rebellions of his own.

How do you know who to trust?

Thoughts on this week’s episode of the Mandalorian:

Grogu trying to say “this is the way” 😭

Din and Bo Katan having bitchy sibling energy >>>>

R5 my favorite anxious droid

This is really just proving that these two work really well together please let them train together (maybe w/ Grogu as well that’d be fun)

Mandalore just does not get anything huh

I’m really hoping they don’t try to force a romance between Din and Bo Katan bc they’re just two annoying ass siblings

Bo Katan calling Din by his first name and Din calling her Bo >>>>>>>

Space NYC????

SPACE OSCARS????????

oh it’s some conference that’s boring I wish it was space Oscars

Was he trying to clone Grogu back in s1???

This place is giving me Capital from Hunger Games vibes

Pershing having social anxiety is The biggest mood

The taxi droid has Cecil Gershwin Palmer (beloved) vibes good for them

ITS CUM WATER WHY IS IT WHITE—

Neither of these bitches seem straight and we’ve been doing so well please don’t force a romance on me

Din and Bo Katan both going through their redemption arcs is so slay??

Bo Katan is now officially Din’s sister bc of the Creed and that’s so fuckin slay

Overall a pretty decent episode, mostly filler and I couldn’t give less of a shit about Pershing but I do like that Din and Bo Katan have essentially adopted each other as siblings/cousins or smth (Bo Katan wine aunt is something that can be so personal)

Also!! Since Bo Katan is a part of the Covert now I think that means we might get the beloved training montage!! Especially since she’s already experienced with the dark saber already

The Mandalorian—

3.03 chapter 19: the convert

[hellonoblesky]

Ok on one hand: It would be really cool to see Thrawn in the Mandalorian

On the other hand: He Would Not Fucking Do That (blow up an entirely intact Mandalorian castle)(also Mandalore is a damn ways away from the Unknown Regions sir what the fuck are you doing out here)(also??? does Bo even have beef with him???? DOES HE EVEN HAVE BEEF WITH ANY MANDALORIAN???????????)(EDIT: YES HE DOES I FORGOT ABOUT SABINE)(however as fr as we know Sabine is. ALSO not involved with this entire thing so)

So. Please consider: Karyn Faro

Hello Wookieepedia.

So apparently “TAUNGSDAY” is like Wednesday aka hump day or mid week in Galactic Standard Calendar.

I keep forgetting the days equivalent except Primeday which is like Monday 😋

“Taungsdays, am I right?” ☺️😌

[a-name-bruh-idk]

one part of me understands the need for good storytelling, 3 dimensional characters and connecting the show to it’s saga counterpart.

but the other part just wants to see din

[ashleybenlove]

Man, this whole episode has just went from The Mandalorian to like, Dr. Pershing and Katy O'Brian work together on Coruscant.

[gaeasun]

Gaslight (derogatory) and Girlboss (derogatory) over on Coruscant, but zero Gatekeeping with the Mandalorians.

Andor: every one of these fascists is pathetic and deserves a beating

The Mandalorian: don't you feel sorry for the widdle lost fascist who can't follow his heart's desire to do a eugenics
