In this entry, we look at what went down in The Mandalorian Chapter 13 \u2014 the fifth episode of Season 2 \u2014 and contemplate its extensive revelations. Yes, there be spoilers here.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>There are many gifts to <em>Star Wars<\/em> fans in this week\u2019s episode of <strong><em>The Mandalorian<\/em><\/strong>, but none greater than the name-dropping of Grogu. Yes, yes, yes, we can finally stop referring to the child at the center of the story as \u201cBaby Yoda.\u201d He\u2019s not a clone (well, most likely), and <em>he<\/em> has a tragic origin linked to the Imperial rise and the eradication of the Jedi.<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 13, entitled mischievously \u201cThe Jedi,\u201d does not eek its information slowly. Its writer and director, <strong>Dave Filoni<\/strong>, is here to party. The one-time showrunner of <em>Star Wars<\/em>: <em>The Clone Wars<\/em> and <em>Star Wars<\/em>: <em>Rebels<\/em> finally gets to usher his most cherished character into the glorious realm of live-action, and he does so within the first few frames of this chapter.<\/p>\n<p>Ahsoka Tano (<strong>Rosario Dawson<\/strong>) rips through the opening scene slashing through a sorry lot of henchmen. We find her just where Bo-Katan Kryze (<strong>Katee Sackhoff<\/strong>) told Mando Din Djarin (<strong>Pedro Pascal<\/strong>) she would be, on the forest planet of Corvus. She\u2019s on a mission herself, freeing a persecuted village from the tyrannical rule of Magistrate Morgan Elsbeth\u00a0(<strong>Diana Lee Inosanto<\/strong>) and prying the whereabouts of an old enemy from the gangster\u2019s twisted brain.<\/p>\n<p>The Magistrate is no simple mark, and despite Tano\u2019s tremendous skill, she\u2019s unable to get the job done on her own. Enter: Mando. After a quick tour through town and a chat with the Magistrate, Mando seemingly takes a job to hunt down the duel lightsaber-wielding pest who hides in the woods. If he does so, the Magistrate will give Mando her impressively pointy staff\u00a0made from Beskar steel.<\/p>\n<p>Mando and Ahsoka have a Marvel meet-cute, where introductions cannot occur without a slight tussle first. He calls out her name and mentions Bo-Katan. Ahsoka takes a beat to think, spots our favorite li\u2019l hungry goblin kiddo, and lowers her blades.<\/p>\n<p>The child and Ahsoka share a moment of solitude. They commune through the Force. Words are not spoken, but information is exchanged between them.<\/p>\n<p>Tano relays the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> to Mando. The kid is Grogu, a youngling from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, the central city-planet where all your favorite senate hearings were held during the prequels. After the Empire rose to power, Grogu was hidden away. During the aftermath of The Clone Wars, someone stole Grogu from the temple. The child\u2019s thoughts are shadowed around the event, as his memory is too dark in places.<\/p>\n<p>Mando implores Tano to take the Child. He belongs with his kind; he belongs with the Jedi. Tano tells him that the Jedi fell a long time ago, but she does not mention how she turned her back on their order during The Clone Wars\u2019 final days. She\u2019s no Jedi.<\/p>\n<p>Many years ago, Tano was accused of a crime by the Jedi. She saw how their fear could infect their judgment. She knew their actions during The Clone Wars led them down a dark path they could not escape. Of course, Tano did not realize that even her Master Anakin Skywalker could succumb to the worst fears imaginable and damn the galaxy with his will.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing the fate of Darth Vader, Tano is reluctant to train Grogu in the ways of the Force. She tells Mando that it\u2019s better to wait for these powers to fade.<\/p>\n<p>Mando says he will help Tano take down the Magistrate if she raises the kid. She lets him think she\u2019ll follow through on this promise, but we know Din Djarin is not getting rid of Grogu any time soon. <em>The Mandalorian<\/em> is the saga of a father and son, now.<\/p>\n<p>Grogu is a kid who had his family stolen from him. Mando is a kid with the same backstory. He\u2019s become more than a protector over these last two seasons. We see the love he has for Grogu in the tiny gestures he offers, the way he cocks his head toward the kid, and in the manner, he carries Grogu by his side. Tano tells him at the climax, \u201cYou\u2019re like a father to him.\u201d We know it\u2019s true, and it\u2019s looking like Mando is coming around to that way of thinking as well.<\/p>\n<p>Tano and Mando obliterate the goons who rule Corvus. The action is mighty and swift. While Mando frees the imprisoned citizens from their electro stocks outside the Magistrate\u2019s gate and squares off with a gruff mercenary (<strong>Michael Biehn<\/strong>), Tano clashes with the Magistrate. Her Beskar staff easily stands against Tano\u2019s two lightsabers, but the Magistrate cannot match Tano\u2019s ferocity.<\/p>\n<p>With her throat inches away from being slit, the Magistrate reveals the location of her master, Grand Admiral Thrawn. Whoa, whoa, whoa. As if witnessing Ahsoka Tano in action, and learning the name of Grogu was not already enough, <em>The Mandalorian<\/em> Chapter 13 re-introduces the most feared Imperial officer in the galaxy!?<\/p>\n<p>The revelation is practically a death warrant for Moff Gideon (<strong>Giancarlo Esposito<\/strong>). Think about it for a second. The moment the Darksaber-carrying baddie arrived on the scene also meant the annihilation of <strong>Werner Herzog<\/strong>\u2018s more-than-slightly intimidating, although nameless client. Gideon suddenly <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>ears to be merely <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Boss_(video_games)\">this season\u2019s boss battle<\/a>, with Grand Admiral Thrawn back on the board.<\/p>\n<p>Thrawn is probably a new name to those who\u2019ve never explored the <em>Star Wars<\/em> Expanded Universe. He originally appeared in author <strong>Timothy Zahn<\/strong>\u2018s trilogy of novels that began with <strong><em>Heir to the Empire<\/em><\/strong>. Written in the time between <em>Return of the Jedi<\/em> and <em>The Phantom Menace<\/em>, Zahn\u2019s books were a life preserver for the fandom. While they have since been removed from the canon \u2013 thanks to Disney \u2013 the books\u2019 big bad was readmitted via some new Zahn novels and the <em>Star Wars<\/em>: <em>Rebels<\/em> animated series.<\/p>\n<p>Thrawn is a blue-faced Chiss, a regal military genius who commanded the Imperial Navy and answered only to the Emperor. The key to his many victories was a total understanding of his enemies. He fetishized his prey, obsessing over their culture. For Thrawn, there is no greater pleasure than consuming a species\u2019 history before obliterating them from reality.<\/p>\n<p>In the <em>Rebels<\/em> season finale, series hero Ezra Bridger confronts Thrawn on his Star Destroyer bridge. He defeats the Imperial scum by summoning friendly Force-creatures known as Purrgil. These massive space whales tear through the ship\u2019s hull, exposing the combatants to space, but Bridger forms a Force bubble around himself and Thrawn. The whales drag them into hyperspace where they are presumed lost.<\/p>\n<p>Ahsoka Tano swears a pact, along with that series\u2019 Mandalorian badass Sabine Wren, to spend her days hunting for Ezra Bridger. If Thrawn made it out of that weirdo space whale hyperspace, then it stands to reason that Bridger did as well. Tano is less concerned with striking down an old enemy than she is in relocating an ally.<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 13 concludes with Tano refusing to train Grogu. She will not make the same mistakes committed by Obi-Wan Kenobi. She will not raise another Vader.<\/p>\n<p>Tano does not squash Grogu\u2019s Jedi possibility completely. She instructs Mando to take the child Tython, where he\u2019ll find the ruins of another Jedi Temple. If Mando places Grogu on \u201cthe seeing stone\u201d at the top of the mountain, and he reaches out with the Force, there\u2019s a chance that a proper Jedi might sense his presence and come calling.<\/p>\n<p>With no other options, Mando and Grogu, father and son, set off on their next step.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Mandalorian<\/em> Chapter 13 gives more than a sense of the great many battles occurring on the fringes of this series. While Mando and Grogu trek the stars, Bo-Katan fights the leftover remnants of the Empire so she may restore her people\u2019s pride. Ahsoka Tano desperately fights to find a friend, and Moff Gideon and Grand Admiral Thrawn thirst to make their scraps whole.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a lot for a show to put out there, and one could easily see <em>The Mandalorian<\/em> splintering into several spin-off programs. However, <em>Star Wars<\/em>\u2018 grand appeal is its vast canvas. From <em>A New Hope<\/em> forward, the sense of an unseen epic has always been there. It\u2019s what Luke Skywalker imagined as he stared intently into the two setting suns of Tatooine.<\/p>\n<p>There are no sidelines. Get busy living, or get busy dying. Join the fight. It wages without you.\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.
