The mandalorian 3x7

The disparate tribes of Mandalore unite for a common purpose in the penultimate episode of Season 3 of The Mandalorian, and it feels like Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni have also finally pulled together all its highly different narrative and tonal threads ahead of the finale. In a clear setup for Ahsoka, the scene introduces the imminent return of Grand Admiral Thrawn through his top lieutenant Captain Gilad Pellaeon, making his first jump from the page to the screen. Now he seems to have the unenviable task of having to find a coherent and meaningful narrative to spin out of the mess Disney made of Episodes VII-IX, continuing the work he did on Star Wars Resistance to explain the rise of the First Order. Seems like it would have been a nice courtesy considering the people there are still rebuilding from the last time a capital ship appeared in the atmosphere. In a pretty funny twist on the whole attempt to bring back IG, the Anzellans of Nevarro have hollowed the killer droid out to provide a host for a small creature — making them feel even more similar to the Arquilians of Men in Black. Kids, they grow up so fast. This Krang-like robot body is deeply goofy, but has its uses, allowing Grogu to actually take on the Jedi role of a peacekeeper when the biggest jerks from each group of Mandalorians inevitably get into a fight. Visually it works better than having Grogu zip around with his force powers but the hovering pram remains the best way for mobilizing the character. The altercation between Paz Vizsla and Axe Woves serves multiple purposes, delivering some solid action while also developing both of their characters and the fragile connective tissue keeping this force together. Bo-Katan should know better than to think that Din taught Grogu anything resembling conflict resolution skills after seeing him trying to kick his way out of every negotiation last episode, but Grogu does provide the perfect resolution for the fight by allowing both of the stubborn warriors to save face without the direct involvement of another Mandalorian. Katee Sackhoff continues to impress in these scenes, truly seeming to bear the weight of the past as she tries to redeem herself and her people. I had expected something like this to break up the fight between Paz and Axe, but instead we get a character showing agency and still enjoy a wild encounter with the incredibly dangerous megafauna of Star Wars that just pushes the Mandalorians further into their quest. An underlying theme throughout the episode is the different way the Children of the Watch and the survivors of the Purge of Mandalore react to seeing the planet in its current state based on their personal connection to the way it was. Why do they largely sit in their prison only taking action when Gideon flies off like a triumphant Bond villain not waiting to stick around to see if his henchmen can actually seal the deal? Paz makes a stirring last stand, keeping Bo-Katan from trying to rescue him even as his signature gun overheats into slag.

It seems clear now how The Mandalorian will be bridging the gap between these trilogies. Captain Pellaeon a big Legends blast from the past!!! Administrators' noticeboard Discord.

On the other, we already know IG was the self-sacrificing sort who would approve of any use of his body that helps his friends. The action mainly takes place on Mandalore, but the episode makes a few stops on the way — a visit to the Blade Runner section of Coruscant first among them. That has been foreshadowed all season. Thrawn a villainous key player first in Star Wars novels, then in Rebels series is set to appear in the forthcoming Ahsoka series.
