Obviously disgusted, Din pulls the plug on these brewing clones, much to the imperial leader’s dismay. (This ties together threads from the very first episode of the series - why he wanted baby Yoda in the first place). We also learn in this episode that plants are growing again on Mandalore, which means that the future is looking up for the planet's inhabitants.ĭin and Grogu pass a hall of clones - including Gideon’s clones that we learn he’s been growing that have Jedi powers. Bo-Katan also soars into the fray wielding the Darksaber, and nothing feels more natural. The visceral KA-THUNK as her hammer makes contact with a body that then falls from the sky - amazing. R5 is nervous and twitchy, but he gets the job done. R5 has been in several episodes of The Mandalorian over the years, but it’s important to remember his origin story: the one Owen Lars & Luke almost bought that blew a top thanks to a bad motivator.

But he can’t do without the help of a classic Star Wars trope: an astromech plugged into a mainframe. He escapes capture and is rescued by IG-12/Grogu, and they decide to make their final stand against Moff Gideon. This finale isn’t unlike the last episode of The Last of Us, which also features Pedro Pascal dead-set on righting some wrongs with muscle and huff. Lest you may have forgotten, Din Djarin is an incredible fighter, and his skills are on full display this episode. He flies through the atmosphere to the capital ships and gets it evacuated, but I’m not gonna lie - the entire time, I was just waiting him for to contact the Imperials. We start right where the last episode leaves off, as Axe heads off to get reinforcements to help Bo-Katan fight their way out of the base. Is the Armorer a spy? What about Axe Woves? Will Din die? Will his memory be erased by the mindflayer?!? The past week has been a wild ride for Mandalorian fans as conspiracy theories abounded.
