Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show I'm your host Paul aka Leak Skywalker and with just
two episodes left in The Mandalorian I thought I'd breakdown the best fan theories that are
floating around in a Galaxy Far Far Away. In the latest episode, we watched Boba Fett
return, Moff Gideon take Grogu and Mando put the pieces in place to save his surrogate
son from the clutches of the Empire. Judging by the ending of Episode 6, we can
pretty much guess that the next entry will be a prison break to bust Bill Burr out and
that Nick Frost will probably pop up along the way.
However, I wanna look beyond that and search my feelings to discuss what I think could
happen in the finale as well as some of the best fan theories that I've come across.
Before we get into that though just a reminder that we do videos like this each and every
day so if you're new to the channel then please subscribe. If you're excited for the finale
then make sure you stay locked as we'll be doing a big indepth breakdown right after
it drops on Disney Plus. Anyway the first thing I think we need to
discuss is what exactly is gonna happen to Mando now that he no longer has the Razor
Crest. Whilst he's currently making his way through
the galaxy in the cockpit of Slave 1 with Boba Fett and Fennec Shand, there will come
a point where he has to find his own vehicle. Now I actually think that the show might kill
Fett off and have Mando inherit Slave One from him. As discussed in the last episode,
Fett's father was a foundling as well and as both Mando and Grogu are too they do share
some sort of kinship even though they aren't related.
Temuera Morisson is also getting on a bit and though I don't wanna call him Boba Fatt,
it's unlikely that he can keep appearing as the character for years and years and years.
Thus I think his death and handing over the ship could be somewhat of a passing of the
torch both literally in the show and figuratively as the fan favourites Bounty Hunter.
We would very much get an idea of the old passing things off to the new and it would
mean that Mando could carry across the Iconography of Fett whilst still doing his own thing.
Let's be honest, when The Mandalorian was first announced, many people thought that
it was gonna be the story about a young Boba Fett so this does sort of line up with something
that people wanna see. Now Eckharts Ladder actually posted a pic
of what they think Mandos next ship will be and incase you don't know this actually comes
from the expanded lore and is the one that Fett got after escaping the Sarlaac.
If that canon is carried across to this continuity then he would have both and potentially Mando
could be given that one as Fett will no longer have any use for it.
Now as for Grogu, the fact that we know the next episode will be a prison break means
that they probably won't have the time to also go and rescue him. Therefore the little
lad is gonna be spending a lot of time with the empire and Moff Gideon.
Gideon was already throwing stormtroopers his way and Grogu had no problem throwing
them back so I think that by the time we get back to the character, he may be leaning more
towards the dark side. Ahsoka did warn Mando that it was dangerous
to train him because of their attachment and that if they were seperated it could lead
to him going down a dark path. She has of course seen this in regards to Anakin and
though his mother died which meant there was pretty much no coming back, Mando is still
alive. I actually think that when we see Grogu it
will be a big shock to see how much he has changed in such a short time because of Gideon's
influence. Children often suck everything in like a sponge and it's often adults who
shape kids personalities so if he has Moff Gideon as a Moff Guardian then he's probably
not gonna be the snack snatching fella we've come to love.
You're dead you mate. Now what this leads to is what's gonna happen
when the pair inevitably become seperated down the line. Mandos entire quest seems to
be to reunite the character with a Jedi so that he can start his training.
However, I don't actually think that this will be the case and instead I think the Jedi
will give Mando so basic inklings on what to do and that the character will actually
take it on himself to discipline Grogu. He's clearly open to helping his abilities and
whilst all we've seen him do is move the silver ball back and forth, Mando could easily help
to build him up to bigger things like ships and more.
So I do think there definitely is an opportunity to do something big with the character and
end the series on a cliffhanger that makes us wonder whether he can be saved or not.
Now Mando will of course be pulling him back but there's also the potential that he'll
have help from another character that we haven't seen yet.
Grogu has called out to a Jedi and someone somewhere in the galaxy has heard him.
So we will likely be seeing a Jedi pop up to perhaps help to guide him back from the
darkness. Now who this could be really is up in the
air at the moment and a lot of people think that it may be Luke Skywalker.
During the time period that the series is set, the character was actually just about
to establish his own Jedi academy and thus Grogu is at the perfect point to be there
when it begins. However I don't think that it will be Luke
for a number of reasons which I'll talk about......rrrrright now.
Now Grogu has already survived one Jedi purge and because of this he had to go into hiding.
We know from the Sequel Trilogy that Ben Solo became Kylo Ren at one point during his training
and that he and his Knights Ransacked the area before turning to the Darkside.
Therefore I just can't see them being like, well he survived Anakin turning into Darth
Vader and killing everyone so now we're gonna have him go to a location where Ben Solo turns
into Kylo Ren and kills everyone. It just doesn't seem likely to me and also
there are a number of logistical problems with Luke and Mark Hamill.
In order to accomplish the character being the right age Disney would have to do a lot
of de-aging and do a couple of nip tucks here and there to make sure that the actor is the
same shape. Now a couple of people have said well they
did it in the Rise Of Skywalker and with Sam Jackson in Captain Marvel.
I get that but the Rise Of Skywalker was about three seconds, shot in a pretty dimly lit
environment with little movement in the face. Samuel L Jackson is also a vampire and even
now he looks like he's barely aged so personally I just can't see it.
I would of course be happy to be proven wrong but I think the cost of it would be massive
when Disney could quite easily just get any other Jedi and put them in place and the interest
amongst fans is still gonna be there. You also don't open yourself up to anything
like Justice League where the people doing the CGI fumble the project a bit and lead
to a complete monstrosity. I know it wasn't your fault mate, you did
the best with the time you had. Now saying that I think it could definitely
be Cal Kestis from Fallen Order. The ball that Grogu sits on looks very similar to the
ones that you had to move around in that game and also the text that we see on it appeared
throughout the title. Kyle used to sit down to meditate and this
allowed you to upgrade your abilities and it was also similar to what we see Grogu doing.
The character could have potentially been doing this when Grogu reached out and thus
they have a connection. Cameron Monaghan is of course already an established
actor so it wouldn't take too much to just move him across.
The only issue is is that the game series obviously wants to continue doing its own
thing and it might be difficult for them to tie in with the property whilst still carrying
on their own continuity. There is however another possibility and it
looks like we already have hints that they could be featuring in the show.
That person is Ezra Bridger. Though Ahsoka said she was looking for Admiral
Thrawn, if you're a fan of Rebels then you likely know that she is also after Ezra and
therefore it makes sense to have him pop up at some point.
Rahul Kohli actually seems like he may be cast as the character as all the way back
in September he dropped a tweet hinting at him getting into shape to to play the character.
Star Wars theory also dropped a tweet video the other day that seemed to hint towards
it. https://twitter.com/SWTheory66/status/1335739897563385859/video/1
Now I
probably should've reached out to the guy before making this video but ey, he's a busy
man but all this stuff means that there's alot of hype behind not only the character
of Ezra but also Rahul to play him. The actor recently told inverse that he'd
spent more time in his garden twirling a lightsaber than he had acting and it just makes perfect
sense. The show is clearly going down the clone wars
and rebels route with Bo Katan and Ahsoka popping up so I think if we do get a jedi
dropping in it will most likely be him. Or you know...we could get that rumored Mace
Windu spin off which I think would absolutely break the internet.
Anyway those are the main theories and I do think that Mando will beat the Moff using
the staff whilst he fights back using the darksaber. As we know the spear is capable
of blocking it and they just drew so much attention to it in the last two episodes that
they're clearly pointing out it's gonna be important.
It's one of the only weapons that can stop the darksaber so ey, makes the most sense
to me. Your Thoughts
