History Awesome / TheMandalorian

** The fact that Luke does all of the above stuff ''in the most dramatic Skywalker fashion possible.'' He could have bought others but chose to come alone, he could have made noise while killing the Dark Troopers but doesn't. We all know Anakin is watching from above going "Yes, son, that's it! ''SHOW OFF IN STYLE!''"

* Once again, we get to see the Armorer utterly ''[[CurbStompBattle destroy]]'' her foes with little more than her hammer and tongs, and pure efficiency of movement and energy.

* Kelleran Beq's escape from Coruscant with Grogu. He escapes the temple on a speeder bike, evades a pair of [=LAATs=] (drawing one into a tunnel where it is hit by a train), and finally off-world with the help of some Naboo guards, pursued by V-wings until he can make a HyperspeedEscape.
** And on a meta note: Kelleran is played by none other than ''Ahmed Best'', the man who played Jar-Jar Binks!
** Further, this isn't a new character, he previously appeared as the host of a kid's game show called the ''Jedi Temple Challenge''. Somehow the last character you'd expect to show up during the Jedi Purge, and yet a pitch-perfect character to show up as the rescuer of a Padawan.

** Grogu finally gets to cut loose with his Force telekinesis on Gideon, giving him a shove strong enough to knock his considerably heavy PoweredArmor-clad body flat on his butt, and then also tossing Gideon's melee weapon over the ledge when he grabs for it.

** The few Jedi who were escorting Grogu to Kelleran were able to take stock of what was happening to the Jedi, unlike so, so many who fell to the clones by complete surprise as Palpatine wanted, and put up a decent amount of resistance. Even to the end, their priority was getting a single youngling to safety. And in a grim antagonistic example, the clones were able to overwhelm even the few Jedi who ''did'' learn what was happening and were mounting a proper defense. Which goes back around to Kelleran, who survived the siege singlehandedly when his comrades unfortunately could not.
** The Naboo guards also deserve some credit for their HeroicSacrifice. Despite being outnumbered and outgunned by dozens of clones, they bravely hold the line long enough for Kelleran and Grogu to escape.

** Then, Paz's LastStand to hold off the advancing Dark Troopers and give the rest of the recon party a chance to retreat to safety. Even on the verge of collapsing from exhaustion and wounds, he keeps firing with his gatling gun until the ''entire weapon'' is glowing red hot. Then he engages the commandoes in hand-to-hand, first by braining one with the red hot minigun, then throwing them off the ledge one at a time until they're all dead. And then the [[Film/TheLastJedi Praetorian Guards]] show up and Paz seems to know he's outmatched, yet [[DoNotGoGentle pulls out his energy shield and vibro knife]] anyway, fighting to his last breath - even when pierced through the torso, he ''pulls the weapon in further'' just for defiance's sake and dies with his hand around that guard's throat.

** When it seems like Din may truly lose, Bo-Katan sweeps in and rams straight into Gideon and gives Din the chance to rescue Grogu. This is a fight Bo-Katan has wanted for [[ArchEnemy a long time]] and she brings as much pain as she can to the man who ruined her life.

* Bo-Katan and the Armorer link up with their respective forces and dive for the trench, with Gideon's Dark Troopers rising to meet them. They engage in an aerial furball, with Bo-Katan and the Armorer going to town on the troopers with their hammer/tongs and Darksaber.

** Din bursting in just in the nick of time to rescue Grogu. Running on pure PapaWolf fuel, he takes on all three of the Praetorian Guards virtually by himself (with help from Grogu, both nullifying their numbers/weapons advantage whenever possible and keeping them distracted between whether they should go for Din or Grogu) and kills all three of them in ''under a minute'' while also avenging Paz Vizsla's death.

** All hope seems lost when Moff Gideon ''crushes'' the Darksaber, but Bo-Katan finally takes Din's words to heart, realizing she doesn't need it to lead Mandalore. And she proves it by happily accepting Din's help when kicking Moff Gideon's ass!
--->'''Bo-Katan:''' [[ShutUpHannibal "Mandalorians are stronger together."]]

* Having spent most of the episode thinking that the old stories of Mandalore were nothing more than legends, Bo-Katan finds herself meeting the gaze of a ''Mythosaur'' beneath the Living Waters, which serves as her SymbolicBaptism after breaching the surface.

* The Armorer hands Bo-Katan a torch, which she uses to re-ignite the Great Forge! All of the Mandalorians - Children of the Watch, Night Owls, survivors, and more - cheer "For Mandalore!"

** Grogu finally gets to cut loose with his Force telekinesis on Gideon, giving him a shove strong enough to knock his considerably heavy PoweredArmored body flat on his butt, and then also tossing Gideon's melee weapon over the ledge when he grabs for it.

* Axe Woves uses himself and the Cruiser as a decoy, drawing the [=TIEs=] fire while the other Mandalorians board the Gauntlets and take the fight to Gideon. Then he ''ends'' the fight by [[ColonyDrop crashing the Cruiser into the base]] (killing Gideon in the process without even realizing). He also [[SubvertedTrope makes sure]] [[GoingDownWithTheShip to escape]] by blasting his way off the bridge at nearly the last second. He made ''absolutely certain'' the crashing ship was on course to obliterate the Imperial base, and once he knew for dead certain it was, he got the hell out.

---> Grogu (via IG-12), marching into the scene and staring down Din's attackers: No.
