Rewatching BoBF Episode 5, and I’d like to Gush over how this is my Favorite Mandalorian episode EVER.
I mean I remember seeing this episode when it came out, and being just geeked out by everything it had to offer. As a self-proclaimed Diehard Mando fan, this episode had me eating Good:
For Starters, I LOVE how this episode was filmed, there’s so many cool shots and stills, it was just Beautiful. And such clever little things, like Grogu’s armor being wrapped in a little Yoda shaped Knot.
We also get a TON of Mandalorian History/Culture
-Armorer tells us the Tale of Bo Katan and her part in the Fall of Mandalore
- Actually get to see a little bit of the Night of a Thousand Tears
- Darksaber, in both its history, and significance of seeing Din wield it, whether he was proficient or not, it gave me the crazy hope that Din Djarin would be the one to Rule Mandalore. Which in itself I had a great case for.
- It was also nice hearing the Armorer speak Mando’a when Training din, which is rare and I really wish we heard more of.
The rest of the episode with Peggy aswell just had the perfect sense of Wars Disney humor, and I feel like I all had a little bit of anxiety if Din was going to lose the Darksaber getting off of his flight.
Then the NOSTALGIA BOMB that they hit us with when they revealed the Naboo Starfighter, my mind was absolutely BLOWN!! I completely understand the Mandalorian’s love for the Razor Crest as it’s honestly one of my Favorite Star Wars ships, but the Mando’s N1 instantly became iconic, and how could it not? It’s beautiful, it’s like a souped up Silver Corvette Stingray. Just wow. And watching him fly it through Beggars Canyon, just awesome. Dare I say, Wizard.
So yeah, that’s my Shpeel on Episode 5 of BoBF, which is in my opinion, my favorite piece of Mandalorian media we have out there, let me know what your favorite Mando Episode is. I just know that with the Movie coming out tomorrow, no matter how bad/good it is, I’m coming home and putting this Episode on.
