Nephew Post: Mandalorian Finale
Jan. 9th, 2021 12:18 amFor once, no one watched ahead of time. However, just about everyone was different degrees of spoiled. As Bo-Katan talked about how she only wanted the Darksaber, I had to stop myself from laughing. Yeah, I was very spoiled.
(Oldest nephew and I discuss the evolution of darktroopers, including that the first one was basically a Star Wars Iron Man.)
Me: I really don't like those things.
(Years ago, I had problems with droids and robots that I thought had gotten over. Then, these things come along...they're freaking scary and all my old dislikes come back.)
I loved the fight with Gideon, but we've all seen Deathly Hallows, we know the problem here. Din won the Darksaber. However, it also makes me even more intrigued about what happened after Sabine gave Bo-Katan the Darksaber in the first place. Dammit, Filoni, make sure we find this out.
An x-wing arrives. I point that out, but no one puts that detail to use.
So, the Jedi arrives; disguised.
Me: Does everyone have an idea who that is?
Youngest Nephew: Is it who I think it is?
Me: Who do you think it is?
Youngest Nephew: The blind Jedi
My Mom: From Rogue One?
Middle Nephew: No, from Rebels
Me: Have you seen ALL of Rebels?
Youngest Nephew: Well, no, just the first episode of the last season
Me: Then, I will say no more
The Jedi takes off his hood, revealing himself to be none other than Luke Skywalker.
Oldest Nephew: Wow, who did they get to play him? He looks just like him.
Me: Mark Hamill
Oldest Nephew: Oh
My Mom: But his hair is so dark.
Me: It was dark in Return of the Jedi.
(My problem was that he looked just like he did in ROTJ from 1983 but this was five years later so shouldn't he look like Mark Hamill circa 1988? Like in Wonder Woman 1984, they de-age Pedro Pascal so he looks just like he did in the 1999 episode of Buffy.
Grogu is going to go with Luke.
My Mom: NOOO.
Oldest Nephew: Take your helmet off!
Me: You know he was WAY too excited to see Artoo. They definitely knew each other. He definitely remembered him.
(Artoo and Grogu have a whole conversation that's not translated.)
Me: But what did they say?
Oldest Nephew: 'I remember you, you belonged to the Jedi who killed all my friends.'
(credits end and there's a very familiar Star Wars location, including Bob Fortuna)
Me: Wow, he got fat.
(It was very oddly satisfying seeing him shot dead by Boba Fett.)
Oldest Nephew: The Book of Boba Fett, is that a real book or are we getting a show?
(He says how he likes that we FINALLY got to see Boba Fett live up to his hype and be a badass like the hype. I explain that the hype actually goes all the way back to before ESB and his debut in the Star Wars Holiday Special.)
Then, we put on the Gallery series that goes behind the scenes in the Mandalorian but spent most of the time bitching about the most recent trilogy except when Taika Waititi's segment had clips that oldest nephew didn't recognize.
Me: You STILL haven't seen What We Do in the Shadows???
