We are now over halfway through the season and we finally have a proper direction in where this show is now going.
The main focus on this episode is that Nivaro is being attacked by the pirates from the first episode of the season. Grief Cargo sends a message to the New Republic to ask for their help. Captain Carson receives the message and is looking for a way to help. However this episodes highlights just how incompetent the New Republic are and explains why the First Order was able to grow so fast. They completely ignore planets that need help and instead for some reason listen to Katy O Brian’s ex imperial officer instead of one of their own captains.
Although one thing I wanted to mention that is lined to Captain Carson is that in the bar where he receives the message we get to see Zeb in live action!!! In case you didn’t watch Star Wars Rebels Zeb is one of the main characters from that show and this gives me hope we are going to see a lot more of the gang in the upcoming Ahsoka show.
The rest of this episode is that Mandalorians taking back Nivaro, with some cool action scenes from the sky and on the ground. The Mandalorian ground fights did make me want to play a Mandalorian led video games as I feel that would be a lot of fun. The Armourer in particular had a great action scene when she came in behind the pirates and took them all out with her hammers.
This episode ended with the Armouer explaining to Bo Katan that the only way to get Mandalore back is with all the Mandalorians United and that the person to do that is Bo. This means that she is now allowed to take her helmet off and she has become the de facto leader of the Mandalorians which is what she has always wanted. I have a feeling there is going to be a lot of tension caused between Din and Bo now she has taken this leading position.
Finally we saw Captain Carson discover the ship that Mof Gideon was on and found that he did in fact escape. However it has been made to seem that the Mandalorians are the ones that helped him escape. I actually feel that it was Katy O Brian’s character that helped him to escape and she is working with him to frame the Mandalorians so that they can get Grogu back.
That’s it for this weeks episode, what did you think of it?
