Is it just me, or did that feel like a fitting conclusion to the adventures of Din Djarin and Grogu – not to mention the Mandalorians as a whole – until such time as other stories in the Star Wars universe require them to come out of retirement to help friends take down the latest […]
Now we’re getting somewhere! After a slow start to season three (with some pretty great highs, but a lot of running in place in terms of a central season arc), The Mandalorian has placed its chips on the table to let us know just what we’re looking at for the remainder of the season arc. […]
Well, that was a rather staid and uneventful season premiere, wasn’t it? Or, at least it was if you had dutifully watched all of The Book of Boba Fett and knew what transpired between little Grogu, Luke Skywalker, Ashoka Tano, and Din Djarin during the three episodes within that series that served as a season […]
For my twelfth birthday, all I wanted were Star Wars toys. And boy did I get them. The coolest of the bunch was Boba Fett’s ship, Slave I that came complete with a miniature version of Fett and Han Solo encased in carbonite. Even as a kid I knew that The Empire Strikes Back was […]
“The Jedi” was an exceptional 45 minutes of television, largely because writer and director David Filoni leaned into The Mandalorian’s biggest strength: Making sure to pair Mando up with characters strong enough to carry the narrative load of the episode. And boy was Ahsoka Tano the perfect character to bring out the latent emotional elements […]
Hands down, “The Siege” was my favorite episode yet of the Mandalorian. From relying on character development laid over the long slog through season one to carry most of the episode to finally providing some answers (which only led to more questions, but it was great to get some confirmation regarding the villainous plans of […]
When it was announced shortly after the end of season one of The Mandalorian that Ahsoka Tano would be appearing in season two, I wondered if I should watch The Clone Wars to be fully prepared for her appearance. And then 2020 happened, priorities changed, and I never got around to it. Which means that, […]
For all my harping about wanting to see a more complex and serialized story on The Mandalorian, I appreciated this week’s frenetic stand-alone episode. Sure, there are now two major dangling plots in the series (between Moff Gideon still hunting Mando and The Child via a network of bounty hunters – some of whom got […]
Hindsight is, as they say, 20-20. And now that we’ve reached the end of season one of The Mandalorian, I think it’s safe to say that the series wasn’t what most of us assumed it would be. Where we assumed it would be a cohesive narrative, following the story of the titular Mandalorian on his […]
So, I’ve avoided reviewing The Mandalorian these last few weeks because, frankly, I didn’t have all that much to say about the show. It had fallen into a predictable pattern: Mando and Baby Yoda reach a new planet, they run into a friend/foe, Mando defeats the foe, they make a new friend, they leave the […]
