Yeah, I thought this season made it very clear he could understand what people were saying, and in fact use speech when given a (crude) speech device.  So it feels to me like a physical limitation, or at least mostly.

To me it was interesting how the Armorer appeared to be consciously changing “the rules” of the cult in order to support an alliance that could take back Mandalore. As I read her body posture and actions, as soon as she found out Mandalore was still habitable, the wheels started turning for her, and she formulated the…

I know they’re wrecking you in the QTs for not noticing that Axe shot out a window on the cruiser to escape before it crashed, but I’m partially on your side here, because that’s not a fucking window, it’s a transparisteel viewport on the bulkhead of a capital spaceship, supposedly hardened against emergencies, laser…

How long before we find out that was a clone of Gideon who died?

I presume their vocal cords develop later tha most species. Like they aren't physically capable of speech until they go through puberty. Either that or he can speak but is limited to a range of tones most humanoids can't hear.

You don't want to know what a mouse droid would do with a weapon. Keeping them unarmed is the only sensible safety policy the Empire has.

Whenever Moff Gideon launches into one of his here-was-my-evil-plan monologues, I pray he ends it with “And I would have gotten away with it, if it weren’t for you meddling kids.”

You say that like the reviewer watched the episode.

They’re Mandalorians. Give them a week and they’ll be fighting each other again.

Moff Gideon is a visionary who realized stormtrooper armor ought to protect its wearers whilst being toyetic!

(Axe Woves is there, somehow surviving the crash)

It’s time for another good idea, bad idea.

I was v satisfied with this season finale. I also thought it could have been a series finale, but I’m obvi not gonna be mad to get more Din Djarin and Grogu.

I suspect the Pershing episode was to cram in at least some of the major developments that the Cara Dune show was supposed to cover, so Ahsoka and Skeleton Crew don’t have to start off with the baggage of catching up to that.

Yaddle’s speaking role in Tales of the Jedi confirmed that the species is perfectly capable of speaking normally, and Yoda’s apparently just a weird hipster who thinks he sounds cool.

Maybe the fact that he didn’t (at least before the credits rolled) shows personal growth on Grogu’s part.

No problems with grammar, Yoda has. Consistent with how he speaks, he is. Ends sentences with verbs, he does.

Axe Woves “somehow” survived the crash by blowing open a window and flying out before impact, as the show went to lengths to illustrate.

It just aggravates me that Grogu is 50 years old, has learned to use the Force, and yet he still can’t figure out language. Are the Yodas bereft of language centers in their brains? (It would certainly explain Yoda’s problems with grammar.)

I liked that Axe Woves turned his life around and became the hero none of us guessed he would ever be. Axe Woves, you sir have made yourself worthy of an action figure. Many Prog Rock songs shall be sung about the adventures of Axe Woves. He smokes cinnamon cloves... in droves. I kid. Axe, admittedly, started in a…
