There’s aStar Warsquote for everyday life, andThe Mandaloriancontinues that tradition. The show is filled with some great writing, and the delivery further sells the point.The Mandalorianfeatures some great quotes, with Season 3, Episode 2 cementing itself firmly intoStar Warsacclaim, thanks to a great bout of surprises, characters, and action.

Many of the best quotes fromThe Mandalorianinvolve lines that are not said just by Din Djarin, or adorable coos from Grogu.Some of the dialoguein the latest episode ofThe Mandalorianexcels at character development and bring forth more profound history for some characters.
8“Where’s My Guy?”
Few characters inStar Warscan consistently keep a smile through bad situations, and Peli Motto is one of them. She’s a skilled engineer who makes her living in Mos Eisley and has taken a keen interest and adoration for Grogu, so much so that she’s always ready to help Din Djarin whenever the little guy is around.
As Din Djarin’s ship arrives, Peli gets straight to business and says “Where’s my guy?” before Grogu leaps out of the ship for hugs. It’s a cute interaction and shows how close a bond Grogu has formed with Peli and vice-versa.
7“I’ve Never Been There Either”
Another wholesome moment between Din Djarin and Grogu occurs inThe MandalorianSeason 3, Episode 2. Din Djarin is telling Grogu that it’s okay to be afraid, and explains to him the solar system around Mandalore. Here, Din confirms “I’ve never been there either,” letting Grogu know that he hasnever stepped foot on Mandalore.
It’s not only a sweet moment, but it’s also rather telling of Din’s character and explains more of his backstory, for he was raised after the death of his parents on Mandalore’s moon. This moon is Concordia, which housed Death Watch.
6“Mandalore Is Not Cursed”
A giant shock to Din Djarin hits him as R5-D4 reveals through the atmosphere levels that Mandalore is safe to breathe, and the planet may have been reduced to ruin but is not beyond saving. For years, Mandalorians and travelers have been warned that Mandalore is inhospitable, and the air is poison, leading Din to state “Mandalore is not cursed.”

This very statement brings hope back to the people of Mandalore, and perhaps the survivors of the Great Purge will be able to rebuild, and reclaim their desolate planet, and turn it into a thriving remembrance of what Mandalorians once stood for.
5“Let’s Get Rid Of Him Once And For All”
There seems to be an ominous rage that festers within Bo-Katan. Although this is only the second episode of the third season ofThe Mandalorian, she seems to harbor quite a grudge against the currentwielder of the Darksaber, Din Djarin. As Din’s ship arrives once again on her doorstep, she utters to herself “Let’s get rid of him once and for all.”
Considering the first episode ofThe Mandalorianleft audiences worried about the fate of Din and Bo-Katan’s relationship, this quote only cements the dangers that lurk behind Bo-Katan’s words. Perhaps she means to kill him for the Darksaber, or she just wants to be left alone.
4“My Family Ruled It All”
There’s a far greater insight into the mental state and sadness of Bo-Katan than in previous episodes. Bo-Katan takes center stage for the majority of the episode, and Din Djarin would certainly be dead without her. Upon looking at the ruins of Mandalore’s capital, shereminisces to Groguthat her family used to rule the planet with “My family ruled it all.”
The tone in which Bo-Katan delivers her words seems somewhat scary as if she is lusting for power once more, rather than a thriving house of Mandalorians. However, the quote also brings to light the ruler of Mandalore of the time, Satine Kryze. Satine was Bo-Katan’s sister, and the former lover of Obi-Wan Kenobi, who was murdered by Maul with the Darksaber.
3“A Great Society Is Now A Memory”
Bo-Katan and Din Djarin discuss the fate of Mandalore, to which Bo-Katan says “A great society is now a memory.” It’s a line that leaves audiences feeling cold, knowing that they witnessed the society and power of Mandalore during the Clone Wars. Now, Mandalore is empty, a ruin with nothing to show forits former glorybut the memories and songs of its people.

It’s a great line that truly emphasizes that Mandalore is gone, and Mandalorian culture is left to but a few Foundlings and Death Watch remnants. There’s a great sadness in witnessing not the fall of society, but the murder of one. It shows how violent and ruthless the Empire was.
2“Our People Are Scattered Like Stars In The Galaxy”
A rather poetic line comes from Din Djarin, who tells Bo-Katan, “Our people are scattered like stars in the galaxy.” It’s quite a dramatic and sad line, considering he’s right. Mandalorians are a shattered group, a tribe with nowhere to call home, and dwindling numbers. It’s unknown just how many Mandalorians are left, or who still follows the Way.
What’s also nice about this line is how Din says “our people,” it’s always great to link himself to Bo-Katan, as although he was not born on Mandalore, he is still a Foundling, and just as much a Mandalorian as Bo-Katan.
1“What Are You Looking At?”
Once again, Bo-Katan’s allegiance and motives come into question when she looks to Grogu. AlthoughGrogu’s gazeis one of care, Bo-Katan shuts him down by saying “What are you looking at?” causing Grogu to awkwardly look away. It shows that Bo-Katan isn’t ready to open up, or she doesn’t want to, ever.
The motives of Bo-Katan could be many things. Perhaps she truly cares about Din Djarin, or she just wants to ensure that the Darksaber does not get into the wrong hands, meaning anyone but her own. Can Bo-Katan be trusted? Only time will tell.
