I can't believe they went there.

When are spoilers allowed in this thread?
Not until I've watched it.
Oh my fecking hell!!! I can’t believe they did that!
According to Caf spoiler policy, as soon as the show has aired... Twitter is rife with spoilers so people should avoid the thread & any social media unless they’ve seen it!
For something of this magnitude, every Star Wars fan deserves a week-long internet-wide moratorium so they can experience it first-hand.
Edit: two-week long
By the way, there was a post-credits scene in this episode. I just went back for it as I didn't realise first time!
It was really well-executed, too. All those little hints.
Not me. Not sure it quite worked but was fun all the same. Interested to see what they do next, assume we are getting a third season?
And the after credits scene was great too.
Just on the post-credit end scene - is that what the focus of season 3 is going to be? I couldn’t tell if it’s another series or the focus for this next year?!
I think it's another show. Maybe a short 3 to 4 episode thing leading into Mando.
I hope that’s the case. There’s fallout from this episode that needs resolving!
Not watched it yet - can someone pm me though - does a Jedi show up?
Are you a big Star Wars fan?
This thread should allow spoilers.
It literally was written in the end-credit scene......
The Book of Boba Fett. It's the Boba Fett series that Disney announced only this past week
depends how you define big. I love the films yes - and love the games too. But I don't watch the clone wars for example (can't watch it - its a cartoon).
CGI being just ok aside, that was flawless. The soundtrack was incredibly powerful and emotive. The choreography was a story in itself. It was a perfect demonstration of both Luke's mastery of his training and his maturity of character. Let's face it, it's the first true moment of actual SW magic since George Lucas' days.
IMHO then watch the episode in question without knowing anything beforehand.
I didn’t see any Disney announcement for a Boba series... obviously saw the title but with them dating it as a December 2021 release, same time as season 3, I wasn’t sure if they meant it’s part of season 3 or its own series.
Fecking hell
Holy feck.
I spilled my nerd juices everywhere
I'm guessing that's it for the Grogu arc for a little while and they'll refocus the show on retaking Mandalore. None of us want to see yet another Jedi training arc, not to mention costing too much in cgi money to do lukes face for all the scenes.
As great as it was to see a fully developed Luke Skywalker going ham, actually think the best moment was Grogu touching his face.
I'm a bit concerned about the direction the show will take in all honesty, but they've raised the bar this season so I trust them. I just hope they don't take the heart out of the show and that to me has always been the relationship between the two of them.

kid's crying, cheers
as am i
OMFG, I cannot believe they went there. I was suspicious that:
it is going to be Luke, but I thought that more likely it is gonna be Ezra Bridge from The Rebels TV show. And then I saw the green lightsaber and it became clear who is the Jedi. Finally seeing Luke in God-mode was a joy.
Holy fecking shit that was INCREDIBLE!!!
Genuinely mind-boggling the extent to which this show has gotten me back into the SW universe after the horror shows that were episodes 8 and 9. Astonishing work from Favreau et al.
They actually went there! Mother of fecking God!
Yeah yeah but did you see that jetpack DDT?
They've set the bar very high for the other shows that are scheduled over the next 2/3 years. This is easily the best Star Wars thing Disney have put out.
does the timeline match for
the jedi to have been kylo instead?
Brilliant episode. Looks like they tied off this arc nicely. I presume Bo-Katan and Mandalore arc would be the focus of Season 3. It's going to feel like a brand new series next season! Probably a new cast (except the Bo-Katan crew) as well as I don't see Greef, Dune, Shand, Fett an even Gideon and Pershing et al returning regularly.
S2 was arguably better than S1 despite starting off worse. The final run in were all great episodes.

I love how cartoonishly evil Gideon is. I was fully expecting him to start twirling his moustache at one point.
Sick.
Also, aside from all the holy shit excitement. How good was Pedro Pascal in those last few moments?
A nuanced villain is great, but sometimes you need a good moustache twirler!

To be honest, I actually think Moff Gideon is the weakest aspect of the show. He's pretty bland.
I was in denial when I saw the color of the lightsaber, racking my brain trying to think of who all had one.
