Welcome back everyone this will be my full star wars book of bova fett episode 6 video probably
the best episode so far so much happened there's so many easter eggs to break down
so if you're brand new to the channel be sure to subscribe to get all the episodes there'll
be more teasers for the mandalorian season 3 in the book of boba fett finale next week too
and the obi-wan kenobi series which i'll also be doing episodes for that'll be the next big star
wars series and we'll get episodes for that this spring you won't have to wait that long
careful for spoilers if you have not seen the episode yet there are so many things that we
have to talk about starting with the episode title from the desert comes a stranger which is mostly
meant to be a reference to cad bane showing up in the live-action series almost killing cobb vanth
a classic western gunslinger standoff very similar to the one that he had with boba fett in the lost
clone wars episodes which you may have seen if you're a big clone wars fan that was the episode
where they showed you how boba fett got the dent in his helmet in a gunslinger standoff moment
where cad bane shot him they also referenced that at the end of the episode when he tells cobb vanth
you should have kept the armor meaning that he actually knows that he had boba fett's armor just
in service of setting up a big boba fett versus cobb vanth gunslinger standoff in the finale
dave filoni wrote this episode because he created the cad bane character he also created the ahsoka
character he wrote and directed the ahsoka episode during the mandalorian season 2 he tends to work
more heavily on the episodes involving characters that he created if you didn't watch the clone
wars episodes you have no idea who cad bane is he was the most fearsome bounty hunter in the galaxy
before boba fett came up he is the person who trained boba fett how to be a bounty hunter there
were a lot of references that cad bane had when he was talking to cobb vanth warning him about boba
fett that were meant to be references to his time with boba fett in the clone wars when the empire
took over the galaxy cad bane was one of the few old school clone wars characters who survived the
imperial era during the original trilogy he pulled jobs for the empire but they never really had any
canonical stories about his adventures during the events of the original trilogy until now
but the actual opening scene is cobb vance versus the pyke syndicate when they come
into most pelgo territory where he's stationed it's the same area where mando found him during
the mandalorian season 2 same town we go back to there's a lot of references in the episode
to the mandalorian season 2 episode 1 in all the scenes with cobb vance in this area when the pykes
claim that they're going back to mos eisley and then cobb vance says pretty much anything goes
and most honestly it's just them referencing all the different major cities on tatooine
we were also just in most iceland in last week's episode they want to let you know that the pykes
in the kid is basically taking over the entire planet they have a classic gunslinger standoff he
kills all but one then takes the box of spice even though he makes all the references to retiring he
just kicks it over letting it blow away to remind you that he is a good character like
he's not going to take a bribe or something like this he's not going to keep it for himself then
they pay off the scene of mando talking about making the stopover to see his little friend in
last week's episode taking his modified naboo n1 starfighter to the planet where luke skywalker is
training grogu as a jedi to give him his little mandalorian baskar armor most of us theorize
that it would be a chainmail shirt because of those tiny little ringlets but the whole idea
mando talks about the armor being his by rights talking about grogu is a mandalorian foundling
my theory during the mandalorian season one is that the title of the series was also meant to be
a reference to grogu like the mandalorian wasn't just meant to reference din jaron's character
it was also meant to reference grogu's character because grogu is also becoming a mandalorian r2d2
greets him when he lands and he also says the name skywalker for the first time he didn't use luke
skywalker's name during the mandalorian season 2 finale also really surprised that they physically
brought luke skywalker back now remember it's a combination of them deep faking this actor's face
the actor who played the new republic x-wing pilot in this episode is the person who is the double
for luke skywalker during the mandalorian season 2. they just did the exact same thing they did
during the finale for this episode so mark hamill came back again and recorded a new dialogue for
the episode and i do feel like the visual effects for luke skywalker looked better than the deep
fake that they did during the mandalorian season too like whatever their technology they're using
has gotten a little bit better they confirmed that this is the planet where luke skywalker builds his
jedi temple that was later destroyed by kylo ren about 25 years in the future is less than 30 years
so it's like 25 30 years almost but the funny thing is they still have not revealed which planet
it is they haven't named it yet so we still don't know where this planet actually is we see a bunch
of spider droids constructing the actual jedi temple and the whole idea here is ahsoka explains
later is that grogu would be the first student at the jedi temple but i think they're clearly
foreshadowing him leaving his jedi training just like luke skywalker left yoda's jedi training
there are a lot of parallels in this episode during scenes for the scenes of luke skywalker
training with yoda and empire strikes back some of them are a little more obvious than others
but remember what happened to luke during empire strikes back he left to go help his friends so
grogu is also probably going to leave to go help mando and that'll probably explain why he survives
kylo ren's quote unquote purge there are a couple references to purges during this episode like you
have the order 66 purges they flash back to you also have the mandalorians great purge that we
just saw in last week's episode but then they also have kylo ren's purge that will be happening in 25
years here there's also some clever references to that in some of ahsoka's dialogue too about
grogu being safe on this planet like no we've seen the new star wars movies there's no way that he's
safe on this planet they reveal the reason why r2d2 shuts off and the spider droids construct
him this makeshift bench is because they knew that he might show up and they just instructed
r2d2 in the spider droids to do this should mando ever show up but it's all just in service
of maintaining the integrity of grogu's jedi training like they don't want him to see mando
because that'd make it harder for him to leave his attachments behind even though very clearly
he's going to be going back to mando by the end of the episode this is meant to be a parallel for the
choices that mando will have to make eventually too like does he become a full mandalorian again
and lead the mandalorian people using the darksaber does he become the new man to lore
or does he choose to continue his fatherly relationship with grogu like both mando and grogu
have a lightsaber of their own that represents one path and then another path that involves
them continuing to be together i think that's another reason why they brought ahsoka back for
this episode there are a couple reasons why they brought her back that i'll get into eventually
but one of the reasons was to foreshadow mando and grogu choosing their own path because ahsoka is
another person who left the jedi training left the jedi temple even though she comes back to
visit luke skywalker here at his jedi temple she's not coming back to do more jedi training ahsoka is
a person who chose her own path and think about how powerful she is so grogu even though he will
eventually leave the jedi training probably could still go on to become a very powerful force user
and remember he's gonna live for like 900 years so even if mando lives to like the age of 90
that's still a drop in the bucket for grogu groga could always go back and pick up his jedi training
after mando dies of old age then we actually get to see luke skywalker training grogu and they have
that funny scene with him playing with the frogs forced levitating them it's meant to be a callback
to when he and mando were on sorghum and he tried to eat one of the frogs with the little kids
this time he just tries to eat one using the force when luke skywalker levitates all the frogs in the
pond it's meant to be a reference to yoda lifting his x-wing out of the swamp on dagobah grogo
seems amazed the same way that luke skywalker couldn't believe how yoda could do that that's
why right after this luke tells him all about yoda i love the way that instead of picking him up and
carrying him or walking super slow so that grogu's tiny little legs could keep up he just picks him
up with the force and sets him down every once in a while when luke skywalker starts speaking about
yoda they start playing yoda's theme music from empire strikes back they also played a
couple more times during the episode when they're training and then again at the end of the episode
when he offers him yoda's lightsaber i know a lot of you would be like wait a minute where did
he get yoda's lightsaber from i thought that he lost it on coruscant after his fight with emperor
palpatine the canon story is that yoda recovered the lightsaber before he went to dagobah and then
just kept it in a box in his hut on dagobah so i think the idea is that luke skywalker took his
lightsaber with him after yoda died in return of the jedi and he just kept it with him this
whole time there's also a bit of a funny moment where they imply that yoda was the only one of his
kind who spoke in that backwards manner he would speak in riddles have you heard anyone talk like
that back home because the way grogu reacts to it like wait what i don't remember anybody talking
like that but also they explain grogu barely remembers his life at the jedi temple on coruscant
until luke skywalker uses the force to help pull his memories out if you don't remember ahsoka
basically told us during the mandalorian season 2 that grogu had buried his memories deep in his
own mind as a way of dealing with the trauma of order 66 and the purge which they actually
do show us and it's meant to be a parallel for the flashbacks to the mandalorians great purge
we actually see grogu's memories of order 66 and obviously it's a very small contained scene they
don't show us anakin skywalker slicing through a bunch of younglings but we do see clone troopers
killing the jedi librarian and two other jedi i'm not sure which other jedi these two are but
i think this is meant to confirm that the jedi librarian was the jedi who saved him they teased
this during the mandalorian season 2 when ahsoka was talking about him being saved by a jedi but
grogu couldn't remember who it was he gives grogu the same yoda size matters not speech because
look at him he's tiny i can't it's too big his eyes matter smacked look at me just mean by my
size do you these brief training sessions along with him helping grogu remember his original jedi
training back at the temple i think is setting up some boss level jedi moves that he'll have in the
finale and during the mandalorian season 3. like each new season grogu does something even crazier
even bigger i think they're just setting up even bigger stuff in the future love the way
that ahsoka surprises bando napping when she says she's an old friend of the family that's because
she was anakin skywalker's padawan she also makes a couple references to anakin skywalker later in
the episode too telling luke you're just like your father basically just to explain her timeline and
how much she knew luke and leia she would have found out about anakin and padme's twins during
their fight against the empire in the fall of the emperor return of the jedi but her coming to luke
skywalker's jedi temple would have been the first canonical time she actually met luke skywalker in
person i'm assuming that at some point during this time period she'll also meet leia if she
hasn't already but like at the end of the episode luke says will i ever see you again she says maybe
that's basically meant to be a yes and also let you know that there'll be more luke skywalker
cameo scenes like this at some point in the future when ahsoka is talking to the mandalorian
about not wanting to mess with grogu's head by allowing him to see him in person to actually meet
you remember she has more reason than anyone to want to avoid any attachment conflicts because
she's still got that ptsd from what happened with anakin skywalker turning into darth vader going
to the dark side she referenced that during the mandalorian season too i've seen what attachments
like this can do to a jedi and like i said she also foreshadows grogu leaving because she
says this is the safest place for him with luke skywalker on this planet but we know she's wrong
because kylo ren's going to destroy the temple in around 25 years so they really want to beat you in
the face with the idea that grogu needs to leave this planet but ahsoka will understand eventually
remember she left the jedi temple and that's how she survived order 66 so grogu leaving is the
exact same situation he survives kylo ren's purge later on because he's not there when mando starts
calling grogu a mandalorian foundling saying that the besgar armor is his by rights foundlings are
what they call the children that they rescue and then take into their culture and eventually each
of the children when they take the mandalorian creed get their first set a mandalorian armor
that's what he means when he says the tiny besgar armor chainmail is grogus by rights and
it's not until grogu sees the mandalorians naboo starfighter taking off that he senses his presence
the reason why he didn't sense it before this is because he just hasn't gained enough skill in the
force he's still very powerful right now but he wields the force kind of like a blunt instrument
eventually he'll learn to wield it more like a scalpel and he'll be able to sense things over
much larger distances you also probably recognize luke skywalker's backpack here that he's carrying
around in this is luke's original backpack that he had with him during empire strikes back when
he was training with yoda carrying yoda around in the backpack i guess he just kept it within this
whole time through everything and it just survived this long then they have their version of a jedi
training montage mirroring a lot of the scenes of luke skywalker's training with yoda in empire
strikes back and the thing to remember here is that all the different skills that grogu shows off
they'll probably pay off and have him do in either the finale or during the mandalorian season 3.
he learns to force jump which is a very common jedi technique when he starts running through
the bamboo forest in the jungle with him in the pouch it's a parallel for luke running around on
dagobah with yoda in the backpack he also trains grogu to levitate and balance the way that he did
with yoda balancing on his foot he even gives him some rudimentary lightsaber training while
levitating himself then he pulls out the same type of training remote that obi-wan kenobi
used to train him during a new hope i think him telling grogu to get back up always get back up
is very important to remember too they'll probably pay that off during a future fight that grogu has
all these skills all these lessons they'll pay off in future episodes when groku starts force jumping
and flipping all over the place to avoid the drone it's meant to be a parallel for yoda fighting
count dooku and attack of the clones jumping all over the place you just imagine grogu having a
tiny little lightsaber in his hand while this is happening then when luke says that this is more
like grogu remembering more than him teaching he's talking about all the years of training gurugu had
at the jedi temple before order 66 they explained during the mandalorian season too that grogu
suppressed all of his jedi abilities all of his training and he started to forget the teachings
over time but that was mostly a defense mechanism to prevent darth vader and the jedi inquisitors
from being able to sense him through the force ahsoka tells luke skywalker that he's just like
his father anakin skywalker when he's talking about grogu not having his heart in training
giving him these sage advice during the clone wars episodes anakin skywalker would often speak
to ahsoka like that she then leaves the planet saying that she might she might see him again
and i think that's meant to be a teaser for the ahsoka series those episodes will start releasing
next year after the mandalorian season 3 and cover a lot of the grand admiral thrawn storyline it'll
be bringing back a lot of the star wars rebels characters too but i think the idea is that
ahsoka will also probably come back to cameo scene during the mandalorian season 3. mando
goes back to jabba's palace to meet up with boba fett and his small army that he's assembled they
explained their battle plan for fighting the pyke syndicate you notice they still have the major
dormo with them they have them in chains these are just giving them advice on how to fight the pykes
black krsantann joined up with boba fett a couple episodes ago so he's been there for a little while
then mando goes back to cobb vance to try and get help from the people of most peligo to be their
foot soldiers he passes the jawa sand crawler they revealed that they joined the crate dragon's skull
after they killed it in the mandalorian season 2 episode 1. i guess the clan of tusken raiders
didn't care about the skull they just wanted the pearl we also found out they're using part of the
rib cage of the crate dragon inside the bar just to decorate it and the funny thing here you all
probably picked up on is when cobb vance mentions grogu like oh it's so sad that you lost your
little friend there we both lost something that we love talking about losing boba fett's armor the
way they framed the shot on the naboo starfighter they make sure to focus on the tiny little grogu
size pod in the middle that's just another teaser for grogu leaving luke's jedi temple
and flying around with mando during the finale yes i do think they will eventually get a bigger
ship maybe at the end of the finale or maybe at the beginning of the mandalorian season three
i don't think he's gonna fly around in this tiny naboo starfighter forever at a certain
point it just becomes impractical then a lot of the conversation that mando has with cobb vanth
sets up the big standoff that he has with cad bane like cobb vanth says as long as i'm here
the spice trade isn't going to be a problem in mando tells him you never back down from bullies
they also brought back the weekway bartender played by w earl brown the actor from deadwood
and justified also two tv series that are westerns that timothy oliphant starred in
because there's this very western vibe going on here like you have classic gunslinger moments
he tells them they change the name of the town to freetown and to cobb vance credit even though he
resists he does finally offer the town's help like okay round everybody up that can fight
even though cad bane comes and complicates things he implies that he's been hired by
the pyke syndicate to help deal with boba fett to help them take over the planet when he tries
to warn cobb vance about boba fett calling him a cold blooded killer is a reference to his history
in all of his episodes with boba fett during the clone wars also another callback to the gunslinger
standoff that he had with boba fett where he gave boba fett the dent in his helmet when he says you
should have never given up that armor is also a reference to that same lost episode because
the armor saved boba fett's life because cad bane gave him a head shot but if it wasn't clear covant
is still alive that's why everyone's yelling about med packs and stims standing over his body
and why they didn't have cad bane shoot him multiple times and why it's a body shot instead
of going for the head everyone post all your thanos memes you should have gone for the head
this whole cad bane sequence is really just to set up boba fett versus cad bane in a rematch
in the finale where boba fett will probably kill him just early prediction there's a lot of history
between the two of them so i'd recommend if you haven't seen them go back and watch those clone
wars episodes with boba fett and cad bane then the whole idea here with the group of pyke syndicate
destroying garso whips cantina with the cam tono bomb it's just meant to galvanize the people of
mos espa against the pykes like they really really want everyone on tatooine all over the place
to hate the pyke syndicate you could also think of this bombing as a reference to the untouchables
with the briefcase bomb like wait you forgot your briefcase then boom blows the bar up also the
droid server here kind of sounded like anthony daniels so it might have been a stealth cameo
scene like mark campbell does stealth cameo scenes as other characters that are not luke skywalker
then during the ending scene like i said luke skywalker gives grogu his choice the best guard
chainmail armor or yoda's original lightsaber but as i've said many times in the video
clearly foreshadowing the grogu is going to choose to go back to the mandalorian and they'll explain
how he survived kylo ren's purge in the future and instead of yoda's lightsaber maybe they'll have
him create his own lightsaber eventually because there is official art that the star wars people
release of him constructing a yellow lightsaber a lot of you've also asked if he would just use
the darksaber like groga could force levitate the darksaber and wield it that way his little tiny
hand isn't big enough to reach around the hilt though so he couldn't use like a traditional
lightsaber and him leaving with his training incomplete mostly meant to be a callback to luke
skywalker leaving his training with yoda during empire strikes back to help han solo in leia a
cloud city but also ahsoka who was in the episode left the jedi temple left her training before it
was complete either way episode 7 next week is the finale the last episode they'll have a bunch of
scenes setting up the mandalorian season 3 maybe like a full teaser trailer but we also might get
a full obi-wan kenobi trailer so whatever they wind up releasing of course we'll do videos for it
