Wookepedia (still my favorite wiki name) says they are made of beskar and very rare... which makes sense because they are made of beskar, which is pretty rare.

Are the actual missiles made from Beskar or just the housing? If it is just the housing then that could be considered part of the armor and the missiles would not be able to penetrate Beskar armor. The projectiles are made of beskar, according to the official guide to season one.

Loved seeing {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}the Naboo Starfighter make an appearance. The prequel trilogy had many flaws, but it had some awesome starship and vehicle designs.
The N1 was one I always loved. Also, can Bryce Dallas Howard direct the next trilogy? Just hand her the reigns. Her Mandalorian episodes are the best.

The Armorer was kind of a bitch in this episode.

The Armorer was kind of a bitch in this episode. By the final episode I'd love to see Mando holding the Darksabre high after uniting all of Mandalore, he looks through the crowd, sees the Armorer and goes "Not you two, eat shit ya f***ing weirdos!"

So are the gripes in this skit, and it's comment section accurate and/or fair? I don't want to give Disney money to find out for myself.

{Spoiler}{Spoiler} Anybody else get some serious BSG Fall of the Colonies vibes from the purge of Mandalore flashback? Couldn't tell if they were going for that or more a Terminator vibe, though to be completely honest BSG could have also been a loose homage to Terminator. Think it's the combo of the montage of mushroom clouds followed by the Centurions, er, KX droids wandering through the wreckage to pick off survivors on the ground.
Also, granted I don't know how much they're going to accomplish with what, two episodes left, but I'd like to think that we could actually move things forward with Boba Fett since IIRC we're through the requisite flashbacks and how-we-got-heres. They're kind of indirectly proving that he does seem to work better as a less-is-more character, which I hate because it's like all the goodwill is whiplashing back from when people were so happy to see him back in Mando season 2.
And I'll be very surprised if we don't end up seeing Din go back to Mandalore what with that totally obvious "this is how you can redeem yourself" hint hint from the Armorer.

The issue is that Favreau and Filoni took all the character traits people associated with Boba Fett and gave them to Mando, and now they're having to write an entirely new character for him to avoid making the show "Mando But Older and Slower."

{Spoiler}Tis a fine Mandalorian, but sure it is no Boba Fett, English.
The new ship was cool, but seems completely impractical for Mando. Where's he supposed to keep his bounties? Or sleep? Or go potty? Going from a ship with a built-in bathroom to a ship without one is always a downgrade.

It doesn’t make sense.

{Spoiler}I have a feeling the N1 is going to end up being a short-term ride that lasts to the end of TBoBF before being destroyed, or it's going to be something he ends up getting a mothership for, because yeah, dude went from basically a space RV to living out of... I dunno, a modded Corvette where sure the performance is there but that's about it as far as creature comforts go.

As for creature comforts, in the EU it wasn't uncommon for Luke and Rogue Squadron to travel around the galaxy exclusively in their X-Wings, so it wouldn't be a first for Mando to system hop in his starfighter.

As nice as this episode was it should have been left out as it had nothing to do with Fett.

I thought it was 8 episodes damn.
So yeah between the flashbacks and this (what’s the opposite of a back door pilot, a front door season premier?) it doesn’t feel like there’s any story left in this entire series. Boba wants to take over a shit hole and I guess there’s an army coming that wants to take it over?

And Bryce Dallas Howard is shouting out reactors on her social media over this episode.
Nice.
