Lucas isn't even a reliable source about his own material as his story constantly changes with what's best for him in the moment. That is well established.
I tend to believe his earlier intentions and what he said while writing the OT over his later statements. Not everyone does that though. Some look to the PT, others his more modern statements. I know that his concept of Jedi and ideas for Luke went through changes during the OT. So what is more accurate, what Lucas thought about Jedi & Luke during writing ANH, ESB, or ROTJ? My point is simply there's many "right" ways to see it. It's art and entertainment, open to interpretation.

That is exactly why I think that Grogu will take BOTH, the shirt and the saber. Luke will grin and say something like, "Yes, I know you would do that. I would have done that myself if I had been you." I think Luke's offer is just a test to see how far Grogu has evolved by now. If he chooses the shirt it shows that he still needs to learn (which is obvious since he destroyed the training probe in a snap, like a frustrated toddler would). If he chooses the saber he proves that he has done another step into a larger world. Luke would say that he was just testing him and that he may see anyone he wants. He will go back to Din but then continue his training with Luke. Luke too interrupted his training because of his friends and then continued it by returning to Yoda later.

Anyhow, the stuff delivered by the last two eps was fantastic. When the ep was done I was thinking out loud, THAT had to be made into a movie! I'm really glad that we are able to see it on the small screen though.
Next thing that occured to me: Those building droids are ideal candidates for a LEGO set, don't ya think?

They are very different from the BFII Clones. The BF II Clones are close to the Movie clones. Big differences are paint finishing, gloss vs matte, the way the sides of the chest and back either touch or don't connect, and some slight proportion or shape differences.
I really am of the opinion right now that there were some live action, practical suits used in these scenes that had some CGI touch ups or a couple of all CGI ones used in close ups, but, as it stands I can't imagine that they would produce a whole new CGI model that incorporates so many quality of life improvements related specifically to wearing and donning the costumes, the seams on the thighs and forearms, the lack of movement inhibiting elbow strap, the First Order TK style clips keeping the chest and back together. These are all things you would only know or want to do if you had worn armor that tried to emulate the movie style.
Maybe it's just wishful thinking that we finally got a physical set of Clone armor after like 20 years, but, like I said, I just don't understand doing this redesign if someone wasn't wearing, otherwise they could have just reused the assets they already had access to
I can see them doing it for many reasons. The option to completely change the belt is what throws me off. Redesigning the armor is good for future toys, games, real costumes, better deformation in tv/films with less clipping, the list goes on. There has to be a bigger reason they completely changed the belt. Personally I like the original clones more than these new ones, it's a perfect visual design.
Did anyone else think that when Luke ignited his saber in the forest & went through the forms exercises, that he was specifically doing to let Grogu see his saber & how 'cool' it was?
Like that Luke knew then that he was going to force a choice, & up until then, the 'Jedi Way' to Grogu was only meditation & exercise.

Obviously ...
Hmm... If they did construct a physical set of Clone armour, then I find it unlikely that it was specifically just for this short flashback. It must have been intended more for the Ahsoka series, and/or something else.

I think that Mando showing up with the armour was a way of continuing the Mando series with Grogu, they knew they had written themselves into a corner & had to find a way to undo the little guy leaving the show.
I liked Episode 6, didn't love it, the Deepfake Luke was fantastic, but I cringed at Luke running & jumping, & Grogu doing gymnastics, when Mando left & went to Tatooine, I thought thats where we would leave the Luke & Grogu story, & deal with the main story there
I suppose next week Luke, Han, Chewie & Leia deliver Grogu back to Mando & help out in Boba's war

To all those so ticked at the look of cartoon characters transferred to live action...I want you all to take the same umbridge with the fact that Ewan McGregor's beard will NOT look like it's wood in Obi-Wan.
Watched it a few more times...
It was totally show boating. I am not a Luke stan, he can f$%# right off LOL. I find it incredibly endearing that they are showing us just how much Grogu wants to remain a kid for however long he has left, in this age range. I think he desperately wants a family and the closest he's been was that short time on the back-water scugg-hole planet with the other kids. Prior to that he was taken to be indoctrinated and then passed around like contraband. Poor kid, no wonder he kept all the bs blocked out.
I can totally see how Luke can screw this all up. He's deep down still that kid going to Tosche Station. Especially when he asks Ahsoka what he should do. I think the Skywalkers are just inherently the worst. Their whole family is doomed. I think it's why I liked CW and Rebels so much; they presented separate character storylines away from the usual. I am so pumped for Sabine Wren and more Mandos!
Also, is Ahsoka freakin' Gandalf now?? Don't you come in here with your riddles and then just disappear into the wilderness. Then again, she was kinda like that in Rebels, so it tracks.
So many LotR parallels happening.

Yeah Ahsoka didn’t even need to be there. I guess because Filoni directed this one, he couldn’t resist shoehorning her in as always. Her first meeting Luke should’ve probably been depicted in her own show and then gone from there.
I wonder if Ahsoka’s show will have entire episodes dedicated to other people with plot lines that have nothing to do with her?

I personally didn’t mind Cad Bane’s look. It was appropriately weird and creepy. He’s obviously not gonna look the same as he did in a stylized cartoon.
If I had to nitpick I think for me the issue had more to do with the fact he really didn’t look much like the Duros we’ve already seen in live action. Also his eyes almost looked like the were glowing, which I don’t think was a thing before?
On a tangent but I always thought George meant for Neimoidians to be what the EU had called Duros. They looked better than the old ANH masks but I always thought the intent had been that they were the same species as the pair we saw in the cantina.

I think if they narrowed his eyes (even slightly), lowered the mouth about 25%, and made his muzzle less rounded, Cad Bane would have looked much better. He is also a few shades lighter blue than I would have ever expected.
Still glad to see him…In the greatest Filoni hits episode.

As I am a bit obtuse, how would the power hierarchy work between the Hutts and the Pykes? I understand Boba upset the apple cart by wrecking the train, killing Bib, and setting the current events in motion. However, if the Hutts kill Boba, do they share power with the Pykes or are they in charge? Did the different syndicates (like crime families) stay in their own lanes or did Jabba demand homage from them all?

Grogu reaches out both hands. The armor flies into one while the saber into the other.
He closes his eyes, meditates through the Force, ignites the saber and we see a yellow blade.
He then looks Luke in the eyes and says his first words. “Are you coming with me?”
