MANDALORIAN 3x04 BREAKDOWN! Every Star Wars Easter Egg You Missed!

welcome back to New rockstars I'm Eric Voss and this is a breakdown of the Mandalorian season 3 episode 4 Chapter 20 The foundling referring to Ragnar Vizsla who at this point has got to be begging the covert to find a new training spot because good Lord just Spar inside but also referring to the Fountain grogu whose escape from the Jedi Temple was finally revealed delivered by Jedi Master Keller and Beck played by Ahmed best before playing Master Keller in on the kids game show our man played Jar Jar Binks I feel like it's Ahmed who was found and we who are found let's break down this Victorious episode seen by scene for the details you might have missed and by the way if you're going to WonderCon new rockstars is hosting a panel on Friday March 24th at 2 30 PM we'd love to see you there and subscribe to our new channel the Deep dive and you can support our growing network with Armando inspired shirts at nerdriot.shop if you grab one of these you can write in a custom shout out that will feature in our Wookie leaks after shows okay this episode opens back on the covert of the children of the watch with the blast of this instrument [Music] feels like this started the covert's morning of training but also something perhaps done an attempt to ward off Predators good luck with that we pushed in on this Waterfront from both the air and then from the water the two places that their animal predators will attack them from on this Waterfront we see the covert training into hand combat against each other and against dummies fighting with staff scaling walls with wires and shooting the water which at first seems random but if you think about it they're actually doing this to ward off attacks from that giant dinosaur Gator who attacked them last time again would just be easier to train in the cave but the armor is like no I like to put my feet up take this rough housing outside we see parents fighting with vibroblades and flamethrowers but grogu our little sensitive boy the classic kid who probably prefer a Fisher Price wishing well here is playing with some crabs who crawl past him like at squid game Red Light Green Light [Applause] tells him to put down the Rocks but dad they're not rocks they're shells grugu can see life in detail where others see nothing as din takes grogu away notice how all these rocks rise and Scurry into the water grogu shares a calmness with animals that others do not have the crates behind him as they train are stamped with a mythosar symbol and some mandoa letters it's so hard to translate mandoa but I'm pretty sure this is f or n o c Dash G and then f-er-n-o-c-j grogu is paired up with Ragnar that's a foundleine who is baptized in chapter 17 played by Wesley Kimmel remember in his baptism he did not finish the Creed could that be why he was cursed to be taken by the animals of this planet din says that grogu needs to rise from foundling to apprentice apprentice it's just interesting to see the parallels between the dogmatic order of the mandalorians and the dogmatic Jedi Order mandalorians 2 have a ranking hierarchy similar to the Jedi Jedi ranking goes young Lane Padawan Apprentice Knight Consular Guardian Sentinel and then Master now during the sparring session in the background the armor Empire Visa watch on they take Keen interest in grogu and Ragnar says that if Goku is too young to speak to create and get a helmet he's too young to fight but then says one does not speak unless one knows a line from the Creed which says a lot about why din is a strong and Silent type but it also applies to the end of this episode pokotan speaks to the armor claiming to have seen them at the Tsar but the armor doesn't refute her claims she only talks past them because one should only speak if they are speaking with absolute certainty pokeaton says her dad was the same way as din making this a second reference to Boca town and satine's father Duke at an icrease make me think we might see a flashback to the craze family when the girls were the ages of Anna and Elsa do you want to join the Death Watch grogu performs acrobatic Jedi leaps and plugs Ragnar three times with paint darts and then says he didn't teach him that referring to grogu learning all these jumps during his time with Luke Skywalker on the book of Boba Fett these flips aren't the kind of moves Yoda used when dueling Dooku in Attack of the Clones as Insidious in Revenge of the Sith also the kind of moves we saw yaddle do when she fought Dooku and tales of the Jedi but then a flying Raptor snatches Ragnar and Dan and paws and two others follow I love how there's this jetpack mounted shot showing the jet pack in the foreground gassy now at the same time as the one behind him gases Out Pass runs out too I just appreciate that we get some limitations on the watch's flight capabilities they're not able to fly and fly and fly forever like Iron Man with his Perpetual Arc Reactor their packs would have a limited amount of fuel bocaton Pilots are Gauntlet after the Raptor and both are framed in the sun low in the sky very similar shot of the Tie fighters framed in the sun and the force awakens that I've always loved and both are not to the helicopters in the sun and the Apocalypse Now poster bogoton returns from scouting to show a map of the Raptor's nest and Dent says it flew a long way which suggests that the Raptor went beyond its normal hunting territory again this cult seems cursed by the wildlife of this planet bogoton says these are no higher than the peakset kirimore I used to climb them in basic training a line that sounds a lot like Luke's saying I used to Bullseye womp rats my t16 back home they're not much bigger than two meters kirmore is a remote stronghold on Mandalore home of the squirasha clan from the Legends novel Republic Commando true colors and its sequel order 66. the armorer orders paused to take the shrie training team team srikak is one of the sigils of House of Isla

and toddles after the armor and the puppetry and the effects of this movement just get better and better as he enters the forge we see it all from his lower point of view he was there in chapter 17 but now Den is not with him so rather than seeing this from dim's higher angle it's from grogu's angle there's a moody crust dissolving Forge montage is the armorer lectures just as we shake the steel we shape ourselves we all begin as raw or we refine ourselves through trials and adversity during this Roku is superimposed over the beskar ore as it's poured into the mold as if to show grogu himself being molded refine ourselves through trial and adversity might be why this cult continues to train in such a hostile environment but this metaphor of seeing ourselves as metal comes from Plato's The Republic the myth of the three Metals in which Plato posited that human beings were created with one of three medals in our souls gold silver or iron or bronze which defines the role the person should play in society gold for philosopher king silver for warriors Brown funds for Craftsmen and Farmers the children that watch similarly liken themselves with beskar which they believe cast themselves as these dogmatic Warriors the armorer says the forging process reveals weaknesses as grogu is framed directly behind this hydraulic press so that it looks like he is the one being crushed over and over the Sparks of the press match cut with the Sparks of the blowtorches as this door in the Jedi Temple is being cut open and yes we are back and order 66. this forging process had the same EX effect on din Jordan back in chapter 3 and season one it caused him to flashback to the day the Death Watch rescued him and discovered him as a foundling the framing of the two flashback sequences is pretty parallel din's doors opening on a separatist Droid Light coming in through the slit like the slit of his visor that Droid later killed by a death watch for grogu it was the doors being pried open by the 500 first clone troopers followed by elevator doors opening to his Jedi savior but here four Jedi defend grogu from clone troopers of the 500 first they yell get him to kelleran so this tells us that during roku's time in the temple he must have been known to several Jedi Masters and that there was something of a plan in place to secure grogu if something ever happened grogu's bassinet is the same one that he started the series in in the pilot episode but now it is clean and new the same red and white colors of the Jedi Temple wall surrounding them not yet scuffed up so this right now was not far from where grogu was during his flashback in chapter 6 of The Book of Boba Fett so this flashback is picking up right where we left off and presumably there could be a next part flashback that picks up after grogu and Keller and blasted hyperspace Carl Weathers directed this episode and he did an incredible job with the sequence holding the tension on the elevator doors and then whoosh we opened to kelleran Beck Ahmed best who played Jar Jar Binks in the prequels and he played Jedi Master Keller and Beck host of the Jedi Temple challenge kids game show in 2020 which unfortunately got discontinued during coven best has spoken in interviews how he intentionally wanted to host that show not as himself but as a Jedi character to help kids playing and watching suspend their disbelief use the force of your core now I'm at best unfairly took some horrible abuse from the jar jar haters so it just feels so great to have this shot from guru's point of view so that it feels like we are being rescued by Ahmed best and this show is rescuing him I can't think of a more appropriate Redemption for an actor who went through so much and it just shows that lucasfilm produces these shows with love also in addition to Jar Jar Binks best played a course on Clever Ahmed Beck an attack of the Clones and he has said that Keller and Beck is related to that character hinting that that game show hosts character was Canon and the past and now it confirms it Kellerman has some interesting gold stitching on his robes that was not on his robes in the game show the gold plus the white inner layer of robes is closer to the Jedi wardrobe we saw in the high Republic era Temple archives librarian jocosta new had similar embroidery on her guard kelleran picks up the blue lightsaber the Jedi who fell in the elevator and double fists on the clone troopers these clone troopers call to each other yeah they brought back somewhere Morrison to voice these I love how I'm at best place this with such intensity like he makes specific eye contact with each the Trippers engages and he emotes specific betrayal for each of them he Force pushes the Clone Trooper off the ledge from the hand that he's actively holding the blue lightsaber in see I did this when I have a Chipotle fountain soda and I try to pry open a few spare fingers to open my apartment door without spilling too much of the coke on myself so I'm a Jedi master too but thank goodness some of those clone troopers showed up when they did because there was their Speeder bike with that convenient jump seat that Keller and grogu used to escape as he Zips away from the burning Temple there is a line of traffic on the left side of screen at first I thought these ships might be leaving the temple and there might be other Jedi survivors out there but really it looks like a distant line of traffic that's passing the temple in the background kelleran is pursued by an laat a low altitude assault transport that's the Clone Trooper gunship that we first saw and attack the clones and kelleran steers into a train tunnel just like the tunnel that we saw Pershing and Eli Kane riding through chapter 19. Keller and beers off into the station for Monument Park the same Plaza that Persian came toward several decades in the future after this this is the one that has the highest peak of Coruscant umate and yes again this is the same place that Obi-Wan it's a team toward in Clone Wars they end up crashing on the platform with a Naboo crew user this is an h-type Nubian yacht not exactly the same Royal Cruiser that Amidala used in Phantom Menace this is more like the one she and Anakin use traveling to Tatooine and Geonosis and attack of the Clones so does this mean that Kellerman took grogu to Naboo or that figures from Naboo like Padme or shiv Palpatine or Senator Binks might have known about grogu as well well the guard who helped scalarin is listed in the credits a senate Guard Captain but they are wearing the same red padding as the Naboo Royal security forces from the prequels so I'm wondering if these could be security detail of a senator from Naboo like Senator Amidala or Senator Banks so if Padme knew about grogu presumably Anakin would too so I don't think it was Padme Palpatine knew there's no way he would let the clone troopers kill such a valuable Target so Palpatine obviously didn't know so jar jar is looking like the likeliest option here jar jar really is the key to all of this with the Ahmed best connection I think that's likely who it was and you know what I don't have a problem with that but taking grogu to Naboo right now would be incredibly dangerous though I guess they didn't stop Ahsoka Tano from visiting bail or Grana at padme's funeral roll on Naboo and tales of the Jedi what was she thinking ultimately kelleran was just a total surprise pick of who saved grogu so I'm guessing grogu's next destination will be some new place we haven't heard of yet though I think whatever that path was might end up being the path that we saw in Obi-Wan Kenobi where Jedi refugees were taken along and grogu was just the first one to be taken along that path grogu looks up to see two b-wing starfighters roaring in they have a similar howl of the later type fighters from synar systems that the v-wings were Republic era predecessors too and kylo ren jumps to hyperspace and the clangs of the armor Hammer intake Roku back so back in chapter 17 when grow who saw this pergol in hyperspace in that moment he might have also been flashing back to his traumatic Escape which is why he snuggled up with denjarin right then the armor completes the rondelle with the Sigil of the mud horn that was a Signet didn't jarin chose after grogu saved him from one in chapter two bogoton's rescue party with the shrie Cox are seven in total everyone besides din is blue helmeted meaning they're all from house besla the fact that it's seven mirrors the Seven Samurai or the Magnificent Seven which is based on the Seven Samurai under two crescent moons they make camp and bocaton asks Den how to eat when others are around the answer is apparently just go be alone and you eat your shame in private that's the way I gobble up my Chipotle alone in my car before I meet up with people pause says that poketan as leader of this war party gets the honor staying by the fire and I guess the honor is being well lit enough so that Katie Sackhoff gets actual screen time this episode but this is just some interesting rituals here the leader needs to stay the warmest and the safest to keep the war party overall intact Boca time leads its war party because she as she said she said experience climbing and Mandalore and she's just the most experienced to this group because this covert otherwise is no really defined leadership other than the armorer being their High Priestess Paz warns that the Raptor will likely kill the foundling if it is attacked like it doesn't say it'll kill my son he says the foundling as in this is a youth who is a responsibility of the entire tribe as they climb the sound of their cables mixes in part of the sound of the lightsabers igniting yeah you hear the burst release but without the Searing burn sound and the hum that follows it rather the wobble of a metallic cable that follows it now they climb up to the nest where horrifyingly there is a best car helmet of one of the past kids the Raptors snatched and there are some buzzing insects around that dry grass likely swarming some currently Rotting Flesh Paws Leroy Jenkins is Into The Nest where three giant infant Raptors attack the mama Raptor coughs up Ragnar one could only imagine what he went through but we know Boba Fett's Mandalorian armor helped him survive inside the sarlacc either way Ragnar here is bone dry just a bit odd Raptor takes off with both Paws and Ragnar and we know flying off until their jetpack's run out is its tactic so there's a natural ticking clock to this Chase bogoton gets swatted by a wing and she loses one of her night owl pauldrons you do see it here which the Raptor you could say might have done her a favor the animals of this planet Guided by simple nature or Guided by some spiritual Force to get these cultists to where they need to be while the others just piss off the Raptor with their cables only broke a ton sticks she hooks it sticks a vibroblade above the eye and the Raptor releases pause it's din who snares the wing and immediately Viper blades to the Talon before the Raptor can wriggle free Ragnar's loose and didn't Scoops him up and we hear a blast of the flute so interesting to point out here Boca time goes for the Giant Eye to tame the Beast like her connection with the Giant Eye of the mythosar jinjarin saves the kid like his connection with grogu the Raptor flails in the water and there's always a bigger fish he gets snapped up by that same Gator species as the one we saw in chapter 17. like the Moses are eating the Pteranodon in Jurassic world now in chapter 17 that guy got blown up this one proves that the water is filled with these big boys Paws adorably pulls his son in close and din watching them upon return immediately picks up grogu so seeing pause fear for his son gave him his own fear for being apart from his little boy they brought back the three Raptor babies no clue how they all fit on that ship without the Raptors trying to eat them on the flight back but this will provide some beastly flying mounts that this clan can ride alongside bokoton when she inevitably rides the mythosar the armor makes a new pauldron marked with the mythosar and the armor says that since the mythosar belongs to all mandalorians it's okay but Pokemon seems a bit disappointed to hear this she won't submit the star for herself she asks the armor what if she actually saw him at The Sword and the armor answers only cryptically when you choose to walk the way the Mandalore you will see many things as if this was no more than a noble Vision but she doesn't explicitly do deny what bogoton saw was real either so bogoton's faith in partaking in this cult is transitioning from witnessing a miracle to joining in the day-to-day rituals and trials that truly test them she is also a bit of a foundling that we are left with in this episode but one final detail that you might have missed in the final frames while it seems like bogoton is staring at the mythosar on the wall the armorer steps in a frame between them on the other side of that fire watching bogoton closely I think conflicts may be Brewing between bogoton and the armor reminder to subscribe to our new channel the Deep dive and he can support us by grabbing some merch at nerdrive.shop
