- TriviaAs the Armorer fires up the forge and crafts the helmet, a familiar sigil can be seen hanging on the wall of the cave. This sigil is the Beskar-crafted skull of the Mythosaur. In Star Wars lore, the Mythosaurs were a race of gigantic creatures native to Mandalore. They were eventually driven to extinction by Mandalore the First, before becoming known as the symbol of Mand'alor - the ruler of the Mandalorians - the planet Mandalore, and the people of Mandalore themselves.
- GoofsIG-11's depiction here is inconsistent with how he was depicted in the first season. Here, he defaults to his programming to kill Grogu, but in the first season all of his programming was wiped and he had to relearn even basic functions from scratch. He self-destructed using a thermal detonator located within his chest, yet his chest and head here are intact while most of his limbs are shown missing. A self-destruction that leaves enough material intact that he could be restored to working order is not very effective and goes against his statement that his manufacturer's programming said that he could not be captured.
- Quotes
The Armorer: You have removed your helmet. What's worse, you did so of your own free will. You are no longer Mandalorian.
The Mandalorian: The Creed teaches us of redemption.
The Armorer: Redemption is no longer possible since the destruction of our homeworld.
The Mandalorian: But what if the mines of Mandalore still exist?
The Armorer: All was destroyed in the Purge.
The Mandalorian: Is this inscription not Mandalorian?
The Armorer: Where did you come upon this?
The Mandalorian: Jawas. They came upon it be trade from a traveler who claimed to have visited the surface of Mandalore.
The Armorer: This relic only proves that Mandalore's entire surface has been crystalized by fusion rays.
The Mandalorian: But a traveler was able to retrieve this, so perhaps, it is not poisoned. If I visit the planet and I can bring you proof that I have bathed in the Living Waters beneath the mines of Mandalore, then by Creed. the decree of exile will be lifted and I would redeemed.
The Armorer: This is the Way.
The Mandalorian: Then I will see you again.
The issue is the story. Its just not moving. A lot of scenes are just there to showoff familiar characters, and add nothing to the story. Nothing happens in this episode that we already didn't know. Except the Mandalorian flying across the galaxy again & again to meet old friends & have meaningless conversations most of which we already knew.
If they think this is "fan service", I'm sorry but they are mistaken. Once or twice is fun. But they already overdid this "fan service" in S2 & Boba Fett. Now focus on the story please. Learn something for Andor, which is now my favourite StarWars content since Mandalorian S1.
