Finally after waiting what feels like forever season 3 of The Mandalorian is here. The premier did a very good job at setting up the overall story for the season, while also giving us some great moments between Mando and Grogu.
The first thing I want to talk about is the action scenes this episode as there was a few. Rick Famuyiwa did an absolute fantastic job at directing these action scenes this episode. I liked the opening one where it was a clan of Mandalorians fighting the big sea creature, not only was it exciting to watch but it showed you an insight into how they operate together as a group. My favourite action scene was the ending space battle as it just felt like classic Star Wars, with ships flying in and out of asteroids, it just managed to capture the perfect Star Wars feeling.
This episode was about setting up the premise of what we are going to see in season 3 and it’s all about redemption for Din after he took his helmet off. I also think they are setting up some sort of fight between Bo Katan and Mando as after that final scene there seems to be even more tension between them. It will be interesting to see how the story unravels and see what happens with the Darksaber.
Now probably my favourite moments of this episode was just the interactions between Mando and Grogu. Even though Mando has a helmet on you can just feel how much he cares for Grogu. One of the scenes I loved in particular was when Grogu came down into the cockpit to be held by Mando while he was sleeping. I also like seeing Grogu more confident and powerful with the force. I thought it was hilarious when he was just spinning himself around in the chair and suing the force to get food. Jon Favro ha stated that Grogu was with Luke for 2 years so has learnt quite a lot about the force. I hope this means that we can expect a good action scene in the future with Grogu using the force.
Another aspect I would like to touch on is the visuals and the set design. I thought this episode in particular looked just like a set from the original trilogy and brought back that classic Star Wars feeling. I also loved seeing a Loews of different and unique Alien designs, especially the Captain at the end of the episode who looked very unique.
Overall, I really enjoyed this first episode and am excited to see where this season goes. What did you think of the premier and what are you looking forward to see going into future episodes.
