The Mandalorian Episode 2 S3 BREAKDOWN – IT EXISTS!!

As they travel through the mines, Mando picks up a dusty Mandalorian helmet, when he’s captured by a huge cyborg with a general life-threatening looking organic eye. Super cool idea whoever came up with this and then got it approved did a terrific job. I liked this, had some old vengeance of the sith idea art vibes. He moves like Grievous, and is without exaggeration just a brain with one eye, the remainder is mecahnical. Whatever this animal is, he has some really high end cybernetics, akin to Grievous’s.

Grogu attempts to free mando with the force but fails and so Din tells Baby Yoda to go get Bo Katan. Now some folks in the live stream chat were wondering why he did not say go get Boba Fett, but I would say because there is less rationalization needed with Bo Katan and the fact that Bo knows Mandalore well.
As Baby Yoda grasps her attention by landing, they head in her ship, the Gauntlet Starfighter.
Landing back on Mandalore, she tells Grogu it did not always look like this you know, as they land down and go find Mando, heading deep into the mines. Taking her helmet off as she gawps at what has become of Mandalore. She says this once was a gorgeous city, and that her family laid claim to it all…now it is just a tomb. She’s quite aware of her surroundings as she pushes Grogu aside and blasts down some Allamites. We watch how skilled she is as a fighter and mandalorian as she makes quick work of them without any the dark saber at her side.

Heading into the general life-threatening 2.0’s lair where mando is being held, she combats him and then summons the dark saber as she kindles it and moves so smooth and rapidly around not like Din Djarin who wields it like it is Thor’s heavy hammer and he’s unworthy as heck.
Bo beats the animal two times, once in his life-threatening form, and then again in his mecha warrior suit. The Dark saber is rumoured to be stronger than a lightsaber blade, but who knows for sure in canon.

She seems encouraged or perhaps even has a villainous plan behind this but tells Din she’ll take him to the springs he seeks for redemption. Grogu pfffts which tells me he does not trust Bo, he can most probably feel her villainous emotions maybe.

She says the empire set out to penalize them to wipe away their reminiscence of their magnificent planet. Bo says what is agonizing is not that the empire destroyed them, but rather the civil wars they endured for centuries, leading to the weakness for the Empire to break them.
Bo admits as a child she went to the springs to play but as her royal family would have her do, she would publicly recite the mandalorian tenets infront of large crowds. Mandalorian people loved to see their princess do so. The Mandalorian tenets, also known as the Resol’nare, are a set of core principles that define what it means to be a Mandalorian. The six tenets include: wearing armor, speaking the language of Mandoa, defending oneself and family, raising children as Mandalorians, contributing to the clan’s welfare, and answering the call to action from the Mandalore.

Mando tells her he wishes to have met her father, and that he died defending mandalore. Mando pauses and says this is the way. She realizes how patriotic Mando is, and she seems to like it. I think there’s a bit of a chemistry here perhaps, but a love hate relationship perhaps.

They arrive at the living waters, and it’s a dark dungy looking place now. She reads the plaque and it states that this is the place of the great mythosaur, that mandalore the great was able to tame the mythical beast. It is said that if a mandalorian rides a mythosaur, they control all mandalore and mandalorians. I think it even goes beyond the authority of the dark saber. Personally, I think Mandalore the great is just the new canon version of mandalore the ultimate. Mandalore the Great was an ancient Mandalorian ruler who led the Mandalorians in a series of conflicts against the Jedi Order.
As Din walks into the water and recites his vow as a mandalorian and the creed, Bo looks on in admiration of his loyalty and passion for Mandalorians. She seems like she really respects it, as he recites and walks further, he drops like a sack of bricks in the water all the way to the bottom surface where Bo grabs him and as she blasts back up to the surface with Mando, she passes a GIANT creature, a mythosaur thought to be extinct!

So the Mythosaur still exists. This means rule over Mandalore is still possible if one is to tame the creature, which is exactly what I think Bo Katan will do. She may tame the beast, use it to defeat Din and take the dark saber for herself.

A funny theory is if Grogu uses beast control to tame the beast, making him the leader of Mandalore, or perhaps Din if he tells the Mythosaur to answer to him.
