1. "You have something I want. You may think you have some idea of what you are in possession of, but you do not. Soon, he will be back with me. He means more to me than you will EVER know." - Din / Gideon
This line (with some minor changes [from it to he]) was great the first time when Moff Gideon delivered the chilling line in the same calm but menacing voice that Giancarlo Esposito uses for Gus Fring (Breaking Bad / Better Call Saul), Stan Edgar (The Boys) and so many other characters. They couldn’t have chosen a better actor for the role.
When Din said it at the end of Chapter 15: The Believer, it was the first conformation to me that once again, not a better actor could have been chosen for the role. You could really feel the emotion and weight behind what he was saying and the emphasis on the second last word 'ever' truly sold me the performance. This is possibly my favourite scene out of any film or show I’ve ever seen.
2."When one chooses to walk the way of the Mandalore, you are both hunter and prey." - The Armourer
All of The Armourer’s lines are delivered in a really calm and cool way but this one stands out to me because she has essentially summed up the entire life of a Mandalorian in a single sentence.
3. "They all hate you because you’re a legend" - Greef Karga
I like this line because it really shows the competitive nature between the guild members and how even success comes with a price. The contrast in the one sentence is an interesting but effective choice.
4. "I can bring you in warm, or I can bring you in cold" - Din
Just a badass line.
5. "Yeah. Empire, New Republic. It's all the same to these people. Invaders on their land is all we are. I'm just sayin', somewhere someone in this galaxy is ruling and others are being ruled. I mean, look at your race. Do you think all those people that died in wars fought by Mandalorians actually had a choice? So how are they any different than the Empire. If you were born on Mandalore, you believe one thing, if you're born on Alderaan, you believe something' else. But guess what? Neither one of them exist anymore. Hey, I'm just a realist. I'm a survivor, just like you." — "I don't know. Seems to me like your rules start to change when you get desperate. I mean, look at ya. You said you couldn't take your helmet off, and now you got a stormtrooper one on, so what's the rule? Is it that you can't take off your Mando helmet, or you can't show your face? 'Cause there is a difference. Look, I'm just sayin', we're all the same. Everybody's got their lines they don't cross until things get messy. As far as I'm concerned, if you can make it through your day and still sleep at night, you're doin' better than most." - Mayfeld
Bill Burr is the perfect actor to play 'the average citizen' in any tv show. Just as in real life, he seems like a 'realist’ and you can tell he isn’t talking BS. It’s also great to hear an alternative view on the political side of the galaxy as opposed to someone rooting for The New Republic, The Rebellion, The Empire, The CIS, The Republic, etc. Also, he is not only completely right about what he is saying but a lot of what he is saying can also be said about the real world. Real world events were something George Lucas always took inspiration from so its nice that they are continuing that theme.
