We are already halfway through season 3 of The Mandalorian but today we finally found out who save Grogu and it was very heart warming.
In todays episode we got to see more of Grogu’s back story relating to him escaping the Jedi temple during Order 66. We find out a new Jedi saved him and took him from Coruscant. However that Jedi was played by Ahmed Best who played the infamous Jar Jar Binks in the prequel trilogy. It was so nice seeing him here playing a badass Jedi as he got a lot of hate during the prequels and even considered suicide during that time, which is just awful. However since then he has continued to love Star Wars so the fact Jon Favro managed to bring him back as a Jedi juts made me really happy and they gave him a significant role as the Jedi that saved Grogu. I’m expecting we will see more flashbacks of the tow of them in the future and I’m very excited.
The rest of the episode focuses on training Grogu in the Mandalorian ways and them rescuing a child from a beast that took him. However one of the most interesting things here was how during the mission how Bo Katan became the leader of that group and I think in fact they are positioning her to take over the group so she can retake Mandalore. I also think she wants Grogu in her side which is why she is overly nice to him this episode when he is training.
There are some great chase sequences again, as we had the Mandalorians chase after that child threw the air which was nice and then we had the thrilling chase sequence through Coruscant. However my one problem with this is that it’s staring to feel a bit formulaic by having chase scenes in nearly every episode. I feel they should try and shake the action up a bit more in different ways.
The episode ended with Bo Katan revealing to the armourer that she saw a Mythosaur on Mandalore however she isnt beloved and is told it’s just a vision. I have a feeling we are going to see Bo go and prove that there is one alive and that is how she is going to become the new leader once again.
What did you think of the episode and how do you feel seeing Ahmed Best return to the franchise as a Jedi?
