changes everything we thought we knew.

The third chapter for "The Mandalorian" dropped this Friday

and it's continuing to solidify itself

as appointment TV for Disney+.

And since an awful lot happens this episode,

well, we're just gonna get right into it.

So let's go ahead and pop up

(bell dings) that spoiler warning for

those of you who have not yet seen

episode three of "The Mandalorian",

and for those who hae, take this time

to like and subscribe and I dunno, just live your life.

Every thumb's up ensures that baby Yoda

lives for another day.

You don't want to kill baby Yoda, do you?

Do you?

Still here, great!

So with this latest outing, "The Sin",

it basically changes everything for

"The Mandalorian" going forward.

Allow us a moment to recap.

The episode begins with the Mandalorian

doing exactly what we hoped he wouldn't do,

turning ze child over to the ze client,

and Doctor Pershing.

However, he does get an ice cream maker's

worth of beskar out of it, also known as a camtono,

which he then uses to flex on every other

bounty hunter known to man by getting

a set of shiny new Mandor-armor,

even though some of his fellow Mandalorians

take umbrage to his working for remnants of the Empire,

who basically wiped most of them out.

We know the Mandalorians and Mandalore

have had a rough go of it from The Clone Wars

through the reign of the Empire,

which led to the remaining Mandalorians

living in secret coverts, with only one

being able to leave at a single time.

They have to live as both bounty hunter

and bounty hunted, as they point out.

Also, side, note, how cool was it

to see even more vibroblades?

I was a little surprised the first time

when he just one-shot that giant beast with it,

but this kind of like Mandalorian stand-off,

ooh, sent chills up my spine.

Those have been a staple in the "Star Wars"

expanded universe for decades,

and we finally get to se them in live-action,

I don't know, it just rules.

But let's stay on target, shall we?

After he game up ze child for what amounted

to a new set of armor,

he had to ask himself an important question:

"Is there any way that I, the Mandalorian,

"can keep the payment and still get the kid back

"at the same time?"

Well, of course there is, Mando.

Through wanton murder, I mean, look,

he's a Mandalorian after all,

he's not gonna just ask for it back.

He's gonna take it.

After he hears a few more details about the kid

and the job from ze Client and Doctor Pershing,

Mando pulls a full "Solid Snake".

He goes Mando Gear Solid to rescue baby Yoda

from the Stormtrooper-guarded facility.

Unfortunately for the Mando, having a giant heart

puts a giant target on his back.

This is considered a betrayal

of the Bounty Hunter Guild code of conduct.

And this means that all manner of scum and villainy

are gonna shoot their shot at him.

All seems to be lost though, until his Mandalorian fam

shows up to rescue him and the wee baby Yoda

in a stunning action sequence

where we finally get to see, in glorious live-action,

what makes the Mandalorian so cool

and so good at what they do.

And consequently, the Mando and the wee baby Yodes

are able to escape off the planet.

And from there, well, it seems like

there's a galaxy worth of ways that this could go from here.

The ending changes everything we thought we knew so far.

It also leaves us with oh-so-many questions.

Such as what's the Mandalorian's plan

now he has the wee baby Yoda and now he has

both the remnants of the Empire

and the Bounty Hunters Guild on his tail.

Well, let's look at everything we know so far

and see if we can answer it.

The Mandalorian's in the Outer Rim,

far away from the New Republic

who doesn't really seem like much of an option anyway

to the Mandalorian, 'cause he basically brushes

the entire New Republic off as a group,

when Greef Karga mentions them earlier in the episode.

And after their rescue mission,

he probably can't rely on his Mandalorian clan

too much for further support.

They're gonna have to relocate their covert

if they're going to survive.

Plus, he probably wants to lead enemies away from them

instead of towards them.

Sp what options does this leave us?

Where could a 50-year old baby with Force abilities be safe?

Well, the obvious option is at Luke Skywalker's

rebooted Jedi Academy, if it has indeed

been founded at this point in the canon.

But this honestly doesn't feel too likely.

The Jedi and the Sith are basically just legends

after years of Imperial disinformation campaign,

and even at their height,

there were only an estimated 10,000 Jedi

patrolling the entire galaxy far, far, away.

The idea that people in the Outer Rim

believe in the Jedi, know they've returned,

and know where to find them, I don't know,

seems pretty slim.

Plus I cannot tell you what a massive bummer it would be

if baby Yoda gets rescued only to get straight up

murdered when Kylo Ren later destroys the Jedi Academy

Jesus Christ, Ben Swolo,

what kinda monster are you? (man laughing)

Rey, no!

Now even if it doesn't involve the Jedi

or some digitally de-aged Luke Skywalker,

it definitely does hinge on the wee baby Yoda

being Force-sensitive.

Could Mando try to track down the rest of Yoda's species?

Well, short of him raising baby Yoda to baby adult-hood,

that seems likeliest for now.

Another huge question that we have is

who is that mysterious person mentioned

when Mando eavesdrops on ze Client and Doctor Pershing?

This is also where he hears ze Client

tell Pershing to extract the necessary material

from ze child, which, it's gotta be midichlorians, right?

Because anything else is just gross.

- Yes, yes, yes.

- During this conversation, Pershing says,

- [Pershing] (static drown out speech) explicitly ordered us

to bring it back alive.

- So who is this mysterious person that they're working for?

Could it be another powerful Imperial warlord

like Moff Gideon Who we have yet to meet?

Or, could it be a former Important like Brendol Hux,

Armitage Hhux's dad, who's training children

from the First Order and wants to give them

an injection of that sweet, sweet Force sauce?

- Yes!

- Jedi juice.

- Yes!

- Sith chowder.

- Yes!

- Or follow us on this speculation train, why don't you?

Follow us, all aboard, Chew-Chew-Chewbacca,

or could it be Grand Admiral Thrawn?

I'm losing it guys, I'm so sorry.

He was missing on the galactic stage

during the fall of the Empire

due to him being whaled out to another part of the galaxy,

so maybe he found his way back in the intervening decade.

We know in the new Thrawn trilogy

of noels by Timothy Zahn that the Chiss Ascendancy

uses Force-sensitive children

to navigate hyper-space in the unknown regions,

and those kids lose their sensitivity when they grow older.

Kind of like me with Waze.

So perhaps some Midichlorian injections from baby Yoda

would solve that problem.

Just give me some of that baby Yoda,

oh, I just need it.

- Yes, yes, yes.

- Or maybe, maybe we're just going too deep

into all of this.

I mean, look, "Star Wars" fans poring over

every piece of minutiae to make elaborate

fan theories for what's going on, who woulda thought?

What's next, a larger Luke?

It's ruined my (beep) life.

(signs)

Hey, remember that time when we all thought

that Snoke's black crystal ring

was gonna be a big plot point in "The Last Jedi"?

Yeah, yeah. (laughs sarcastically)

Good times.

Ultimately no matter what happens,

we're excited to see where "The Mandalorian" goes,

especially after this ending for chapter three.

But what do you folks think?

WHat do you think the Mando's plan is from here on out,

and were you excited to see

live-action Mandalorians kicking ass,

unlike certain Boba Fett's I could name?

And how soon till the Mandalorian gets his own jet-pack?

Let's discuss.
