In this entry, we look at what went down in The Mandalorian Chapter 12 \u2014 the fourth episode of Season 2 \u2014 and investigate Imperial shenanigans. Yes, there be spoilers here.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>It\u2019s impossible to find good help these days. After the Mon Calamari barely stitched <em>The Razor Crest<\/em> together on last week\u2019s episode, Mando Din Djarin (<strong>Pedro Pascal<\/strong>) pilots his sputtering hunk of junk back to where <strong><em>The Mandalorian<\/em><\/strong> began: Navarro. Ahsoka Tano introductions will have to wait, but that doesn\u2019t mean <strong><em>Star Wars<\/em><\/strong> fans are not rewarded with all kinds of nerdy treasures.<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 12, entitled \u201cThe Siege,\u201d digs a little deeper into the threat facing little Baby Yoda and how a disaster for the Child could mean an apocalypse for the Galaxy\u2026or at least, an explanation behind The First Order\u2019s rise to power as seen in\u00a0<strong><em>Star Wars<\/em>: <em>The Force Awakens<\/em><\/strong>. The Empire is holding on to their wicked ways, firmly rooting their villainy in small pockets within the Outer Rim. Greef Karga (<strong>Carl Weathers<\/strong>) has mostly rid Navarro of its Imperial stench, but one lone base remains along the borders of his community.<\/p>\n<p>Since Mando requires repairs, and those repairs will take some time to accomplish for Karga\u2019s shady mechanics, couldn\u2019t the bounty hunter aid the new Marshall Cara Dune (<strong>Gina Carano<\/strong>) in sweeping up the rest of the trash? Karga assures Mando that the base is run by a skeleton crew and should not pose a problem for the three of them. Mando gives a long sigh as he\u2019s want to do, but he complies with the mission. He drops the kid at the local daycare, and they get to work.<\/p>\n<p>Their assault on the Imperial base goes smoothly enough, even if it\u2019s populated with more goons than promised. As seems to be the trend since Mando acquired his Beskar armor, Karga and Dune keep their friend at the front of the line so he can absorb the few shots the Stormtroopers manage to land. Dragging along Mythrol (<strong>Horatio Sanz<\/strong>) \u2014 remember Mando\u2019s first bounty of the first season? \u2014 proves to be a lucky strike as he\u2019s able to overload the reactor core, transforming the base into a ticking time bomb.<\/p>\n<p>As they skedaddle their way to freedom, the assault team stumbles into an imperial laboratory. On the wall are several Bacta tanks containing misshapen humanoid masses. While preserved, they <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ear to be dead. One of them has an oddly shaped head reminiscent of Supreme Chancellor Snoke. As dots start to connect in the viewer\u2019s imagination, Mythrol engages a holo-message from season one\u2019s Dr. Pershing (<strong>Omid Abtahi<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>Picking up midsentence, we gather that these experiments are the second group of failures. The volunteers expired when their bodies rejected a blood transfusion from the Child. Pershing expresses regret but states, \u201cI doubt we\u2019ll find a donor with a higher M-count.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oh, did <em>The Mandalorian<\/em> just drop the M-word? Yup. Baby Yoda is busting with Midi-chlorians, and Moff Gideon (<strong>Giancarlo Esposito<\/strong>) wants those sweet, intelligent microscopic lifeforms all to himself. The kid is not only the key to producing a creature like Snoke but the bargain-basement clone-daddy iteration of The Emperor that we saw in <strong><em>Star Wars: <\/em><\/strong><em><strong>The Rise of Skywalker<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>(<a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/rise-of-skywalker-palpatine-clone-theory-confirmed\/\">see here for details<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Since we know those jerks finally see the light of day in the movies,\u00a0things are not looking so hot for our favorite, egg-sucking kiddo. Or, maybe, the child\u2019s blood is the key to something else? Maybe The Emperor and Snoke are already in progress, and Moff Gideon needs Baby Yoda\u2019s blood for other purposes?<\/p>\n<p>Flash forward to the end of this episode: after Mando uses his newly repaired <em>Razor Crest<\/em> to obliterate a few leftover TIE fighters. We find Moff Gideon hunkered down in his Star Destroyer, overseeing the assembly of a mean-looking batch of soldiers. He gets word that one of Karga\u2019s mechanics successfully placed a tracking device on Mando\u2019s ship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will be ready,\u201d he declares. A large grin stretches across his face. That right there is a confident man.<\/p>\n<p>The sinister fellows behind him don\u2019t look like any Stormtrooper we\u2019ve encountered before in live-action. There is a mech-like quality to their helmet, although the profile is hard to discern within this shadowy corridor. They could be Imperial Sentry Droids, rough-and-tumble robots that initially cropped up in the <em>Star Wars<\/em> Expanded Universe and finally made their way to the screen via <strong><em>Star Wars<\/em>: <em>Rebels<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>More likely, with Baby Yoda\u2019s blood in play, these brutes are Dark Troopers. They too belong to the droid family, but they make the Sentry Droids look like flabby weaklings. Pumped up and ready for battle, Dark Troopers are heavily plated tanks with legs, complete with jump-packs and the heaviest of artillery. Mando will not be able to escape by simply taking flight.<\/p>\n<p>Dark Troopers originated in the 1990s <strong><em>Star Wars: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Dark Forces<\/em><\/strong> video <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> and have since popped up in various <strong><em>Star Wars: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Battlefront<\/em><\/strong> incarnations. These beasts are utterly terrifying. They\u2019re big, they\u2019re fast, and they\u2019re deadly. When you find yourself caught in a room with them, your life bar better be fairly full. Mando\u2019s Beskar steel won\u2019t be enough.<\/p>\n<p>What if these Dark Troopers have another advantage? What if there\u2019s some flesh under there? What if Moff Gideon is using Baby Yoda\u2019s blood to juice his troops? A Sith zombie squad would come in handy.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Mandalorian<\/em>\u2018s second season has spent a lot of time meandering from one location to the next. Mando is enjoying being a dad. He can\u2019t even get upset when the kid spits up on his ship. The little goblin is merely too cute.<\/p>\n<p>While the bounty hunter takes his time reaching his destination, Moff Gideon plots and schemes. They\u2019re drawing closer together. Having already witnessed Mando\u2019s ability to vanquish a squadron of Stormtroopers and Death Troopers, Gideon knows he must boost his game. The Dark Troopers are the ace up his sleeve.<\/p>\n<p>Mando needs his own ace. Ahsoka Tano is coming. <strong>Dave Filoni<\/strong> directs Chapter 13, and you can bet your bottom dollar that he\u2019s the guy who will usher his prized <strong><em>Clone Wars<\/em><\/strong> character into live-action. Mando will need her blades to go up against these Dark Troopers \u2014 and let\u2019s not forget, Moff Gideon\u2019s Darksaber.<\/p>\n<p>Dark Troopers, Darksaber, hmmmm. The Moff is overcompensating for something. That smile won\u2019t last.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
