welcome back everyone it's Charlie this is going to be my video for Star Wars the
Mandalorian Episode 2 hopefully you've had a chance to see the first couple of
episodes by now the episode was crazy short so if you thought something was
wrong and the episode was supposed to be longer no it was supposed to be just a
little over 30 minutes I'll address that at the end of the video too but there
was a whole bunch of Easter eggs and we finally got some answers about what's
going on with the baby if you're new to the channel I'm doing videos for all the

and leave your favorite moment from the episode on the video obviously careful
for spoilers if you have not seen the episode yet will do top 10 and
easter eggs as we go along starting with number 10 the title of the episode was
the child the episode was mostly inspired by this old Japanese manga
called lone wolf and cub mixed with a classic old western train heist talking
about the jobless sandcrawler the story of that lone wolf and cub
manga is all about a person named Ogami e - who's a former executioner for a
Shogun who's disgraced after some false accusations by another clan he's forced
to take the path of an assassin but has to take his son with him so he's like a
ronin samurai carrying this child around him while he's going from job to job
just like the Mandalorian is forced to go collect on this bounty through the
mud horn while bringing this child and tote with him most of the actors at the
premiere said that they referred to this little puppet as baby Yoda but Jon
Favreau and Dave Fulani were like don't call it baby Yoda too much we're trying
to keep this secret so it was amazing that they were able to keep that from
leaking from the set because for the most part they did use a practical
little puppet and then just touched it up with a little bit of CG but I loved
how expressive they made it using body language because clearly it can't speak
with words yet but it can still communicate with its body language and
even Master Yoda during the prequels during the original
trilogy when he gets excited or when he gets upset about something or he's sad
he expresses with his ear so anytime something bad happens to the
mandalorian you see him get kind of worried his ears will lower down a
little bit when he sits up and shows that he is alive his ears pricked back
up when he gets really excited because he finds something to eat the little
frog on the ground his ears prick up again because he's really happy so even
though he's still a tiny baby developmentally even by his own species
standards he demonstrates a deep intuition about his surroundings and he
can sense what people are feeling through the force he's powerful enough
that using the force to him is just like breathing to us but number nine the
transduction attack he's attacked by three Transocean bounty hunters at the
beginning of the episode on his way back to the ship their only goal seems like
is to terminate baby Yoda one of them almost gets it before he disintegrates
it with his rifle the weapons that they attack him with the stun batons that are
on pole arms those are called vibro weapons there are all kinds of different
vibro blades of different sizes they can give up really strong electric blasts
they can vaporize people or they can just be used to stun people but number 8
the problem of the Imperials is getting worse he notices a brand new bounty
hunting tracking Bob on the three trand oceans realizing Werner Herzog's
magistrate character is sending more and more bounty hunters after baby Yoda and
it's only going to continue until he delivers the baby to them and clearly
from the way this one charged baby Yoda trying to end it they're not after it
to bring it back alive so that wasn't clear when he was actually negotiating
his bounty for best gar and he says I realized bounty hunting is a complicated
profession if anything were to happen to it it's also very wink-wink acceptable
if you bring back proof of termination I think some people saw that and they're
like no he wants it back alive no he definitely wants it dead it's the doctor
that wants the baby back alive because he seems like he's connected to the
cloning facility at camino from attack of the clones so if he recognized this
symbol he has it on his sleeve that was the sleeve on all the clones at the
Camino facility and attack of the clones so that's why everyone's thinking that
this baby might be a clone of Master Yoda so when people call it baby Yoda
technically it might not be incorrect even though it's not the original Yoda
either way every baby of his species is incredibly force sensitive so it
wouldn't really matter if it wasn't Yoda it would still be crazy powerful which
becomes more clear when seven baby Yoda tries to heal him using the force even
though he stops him twice it is kind of funny to see how easily he's able to
escape that little baby carriage pod like it's no big deal he just climbs
right out anytime he wants to him trying to heal the mandalorian using the force
is a bit of a callback to obi-wan Kenobi healing Luke after he'd been jumped by
the sand people in Star Wars Episode four we learned later in the episode the
Mandalorians knowledge of force lore is actually pretty weak he's still pretty
confused about what's going on with the baby so it sounds like he didn't meet a
whole lot of Jedi during the Clone Wars but remember from the flashbacks in
Episode one we know that that kid was there during the Clone Wars
so he's at least heard tales of the Jedi and then because of order 66 right after
what was happening here most of them were ended so it makes sense that
he wouldn't have run into that many Jedi during his lifetime but number 6 the
Jawas gut the razor crest huge moment he vaporizes a few with his rifle
before they take off and they begin the train heist portion of the episode
straight out of an old western it was actually kind of funny to see them just
poof into clouds of ash when he vaporized them to baby Yoda even seems
like he's enjoying it here like he looks up at him like he's kind of excited by
what's happening oh wow we're going to go on a bit of a trip here later in the
episode when they go to negotiate and he admits to disintegrating a few of them
that's probably why they don't like me that's a bit of a callback to Empire
Strikes Back when Darth Vader told Boba Fett no disintegrations when they
captured Han Leia and Chewie bounty hunters really like to disintegrate
people when they can number five the sandcrawler train heist so as funny as
it was watching him go fold Donkey Kong trying to climb that sandcrawler
while the job was her throwing stuff down at him the whole time baby Yoda
following in the pod was even funnier he seemed completely on board for whatever
they were doing no matter how dangerous it seemed but just to explain how the
baby pod works they sort of explain later in the episode - during the mud
horn fight it's slaved to his gauntlet and is automatically set to follow him
wherever he goes that's why later in the episode when
he's wrangling that giant horn bull creature at the mud horn he waves his
gauntlet to dodge the pot away from it it is just a standard baby pod there's
nothing really special about it there were people after the ending of
episode 1 that wondered whether or not baby Yoda
was levitating the pod using the force orbit which is part of the technology of
the pot itself so this episode basically answered that it's just built into the
tech of the pod it just hovers everywhere it goes in the thing about
baby Yoda and this scene here - you can clearly tell he's already attached to
the mandalorian he looks kind of worried when he thinks that he might be dead
after he falls off the top of the sandcrawler
but watch how he expresses when he sees the Mandalorians sit up and sees that
he's alive when they go back to Nick Nolte's ugh nog character for help
there's also a funny Empire Strikes Back reference when baby Yoda eats the Frog
yes it's just a funny visual gag but it's also a reference to Empire Strikes
Back when they were making that movie there were people on the crew that
referred to Yoda as a swamp frog and then on the DVD commentary for Star Wars
attack of the clones George Lucas joked that Yoda was the illegitimate child of
Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy so it's just a joke about Yoda being a frog so
baby Yoda eats the Frog but number four the negotiation the jaw was telling me
speaks their language so poorly he sounds like a Wookiee which is another
reference to the Star Wars Holiday Special in the scenes with Boba Fett and
Chewbacca there's an r5 droid behind them that's similar to the r5 droid the
Jabba's tried to sell to the large in Luke Skywalker then they tell him that
he needs to find the egg of a giant creature called the mud horn which is
kind of a bullish version of the reek creature from Star Wars Attack of the
Clones we also finally get to see the inside of
the control room of a Jawa sandcrawler with the Mandalorian bumping his head
just to give us a sense for the scale baby Yoda also seems very excited to be
here to number three the Mandalorian versus the mud horn they go for a little
bit of a jump scare when he's in the cave and just pitch-black darkness in
that eye opens right in front of him he gets his beaten, he almost
winds up dying it's a little bit like an old western with a cowboy trying to
wrangle a giant bull but the real major moment here is number two baby Yoda using the
Force to own the mud horn just levitating it up and it's a bit of a
reference to Yoda raising Luke Skywalker's x-wing out of the swamp a
very size matters not type of lesson for the Mandalorian even though he still
doesn't totally understand what's going on with baby Yoda in the force you also
see during this - the baby Yoda seems like it's really worried about the
Mandalorian and senses that he's in trouble using the Force
remember even though he's still really tiny he can still sense what other
people are feeling using the force the reason why he passes out right after
doing it is because he's still technically a very tiny baby even for
his species he's not old enough to even formally begin Jedi training but that's
how powerful he is that he can do this at that very young age they get the egg
the Jawas just start chomping down apparently it's just a delicacy for them
and that's all they care about we just want some sweets give us that sweet
sweet giant hairy egg but number one returning baby Yoda to the Imperials to
collect on the bounty so they have this montage to them putting the razor crest
back together is a very patchwork ship which is just meant to show you how much
he cares about the ship like his relationship with his ship is like Han
Solo's relationship with the Millennium Falcon it might seem like a hunk of junk
to Luke Skywalker at first glance but to Han Solo it's the most important woman
in his life for a good long while till Leia comes along the funniest thing
about this scene too when they're dragging the parts back if you look at
the side of the sled the job was even stole his space toilet from the ship
which is just totally gross it's a bummer that Nick Nolte's egg nog
character isn't going to be with him in the next couple of episodes maybe he'll come
back again later this season maybe he'll come back during season two from all the
trailer footage they were hyping up it seemed like he would be a bigger
character during the series because he's got a full set of best scar Armour in
the trailers and Werner Herzog is talking about filming scenes with baby
Yoda at the premiere last week I'm assuming that he collects on the bounty
but it's clearly not the end of his relationship with baby Yoda and his
importance in the story is just the beginning also addressing the short
length of episodes I actually thought that something was wrong because when we
got to this part of the episode I checked to see how much time was left
and there was only a couple minutes left in the episode so I'm assuming the
reason why episodes have been so short is because one they're super expensive
to make they spent about a hundred and fifty million dollars making all eight
of the episodes but the other reason was also probably because they weren't sure
what season 1 was going to be and they made it in a vacuum without any test
screenings or anything like that so they might be correcting that for season 2
just because the response has been so strong so far but I don't know how long
the future episodes are going to be we'll probably find out about that in
the next couple of weeks but here's a schedule update for all the rest of the
episodes it'll be a Friday show the episodes are released a little after
midnight but my videos typically won't post till midday so plenty of time to
watch let me know if there's any big Easter eggs that you saw in the episode
that I didn't mention in the video I've got some new Rick and Morty season 4 and
