The Mandalorian - The Siege television review

The Mandalorian takes a detour on the search for Jedi as the Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) returns to Nevarro for some much needed repairs to the Razor Crest (which take place off-camera in record time which allows for the fully-repaired ship to fly in and help save the day in an unlikely sequence that concludes events). While there, our bounty hunter helps Karga (Carl Weathers, who also directed the episode) and Dune (Gina Carano) with the destruction of the last Imperial base on the planet still in control by the remnants of the Empire. Although they believe it to be little more than an outpost, the facility hold secrets of Imperial medical experiments which tie back, somehow, to Gideon‘s (Giancarlo Esposito) interest in Baby Yoda.

The Mandalorian - The Heiress television review

“The Heiress” introduces our Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) to other Mandalorians who have made appearances on both Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. To do this, the show is forced to reconcile one of the largest continuity errors between it and every other version of Star Wars that has ever existed outside of The Mandalorian. This, of course, being the idea that “real” Mandalorians don’t remove their helmets in the presence of others. The episode’s workaround feels a bit half-assed, but does the necessary work to introduce the idea that our Mandalorian was raised by a cult of fanatics who instilled in him some hardline beliefs others, like those born on Mandalore, don’t follow. This allows the show to reintroduce characters with a far different take on “the way” once the battered Razor Crest touches down on Trask.

The Mandalorian - The Passenger television review

Baby Yoda gets knocked around quite a bit in the second episode of The Mandalorian’s Second Season which opens with an attempt by raiders to get the child from the Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) on Tatooine. Later the little guy takes a bit of tumble when the Razor Crest is forced to crash land on Maldo Kreis when the ship is noticed and pursued by New Republic fighters as the Mandalorian attempts to transport his unnamed passenger across the system. Oh, then there’s the race from a swarm of deadly spider monsters.

The Mandalorian - The Marshal television review

The Second Season premiere of The Mandalorian sends the Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) and Baby Yoda back to the planet farthest from the bright center of the galaxy. The return to Mos Eisley also means the return of Peli Motto (Amy Sedaris) and Tusken Raiders as our protagonist searches for rumors of another Mandalorian somewhere in the deserts of Tatooine. Of course, this is all after the season opening action scene in a din of sin where the Mandalorian’s attempt to buy information about the location of others ends in several dead bodies and a rumor sending him back to the desert world. While mostly disconnected from the larger story, other than offering the Mandalorian a starting point on his wild goose chase across the galaxy, it does offer one of two big action sequences for the episode.
