Mando being Mando, he has some reservations. He asks Boba if he\u2019s taken the creed and if he\u2019s Mandalorian, to which Boba responds he\u2019s a \u201csimple man making his way through the universe.\u201d That\u2019s not good enough for Mando, who implies he\u2019ll be keeping the beskar.

Well, Boba saved her, seemingly by making her part droid, so she\u2019s now in his service. The bounty hunter makes Mando a deal; he gives back the armor, he and Grogu are safe. And of course, right as Boba says this, who shows up but an army of Imperial Stormtroopers?<\/p>\n<p>Boba and Fennec fight the aim-challenged squadron in badass fashion, which eventually leads Boba to Mando\u2019s open ship, and the armor he so desperately craves. Meanwhile, another ship of troopers arrives. And what has Mando been doing the whole time? Trying \u2014 and failing \u2014 to get Grogu out of that column of blue light; every time he reaches for him, he\u2019s blasted back. Finally, Mando decides he\u2019s better off protecting Grogu since he can\u2019t reach him, and he moves away. Right as the blue column disappears.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RIP_Razor_Crest\"><\/span>RIP Razor Crest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Mando goes to help Fennec, who\u2019s surrounded by Stormtroopers. Things look bleak for them, but then, out of nowhere, Boba flies in. Yes, flies \u2014 he has his armor back! The troopers retreat, terrified of Fett (and for good reason). The iconic bounty hunter then takes down both ships of troopers, and that seems to be that.<\/p>\n<p>Then Mando\u2019s ship explodes.<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, Moff Gideon (<a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/tvinsider.com\/people\/giancarlo-esposito\">Giancarlo Esposito<\/a>) has found his way to the party. Boba heads for his own ship while Mando sprints back to Grogu, who\u2019s sleeping peacefully on the Seeing Stone. Gideon sends down a few Dark Troopers, who snag Grogu and fly back to Gideon. Boba follows the troopers, but is unable to recover Grogu, and thus, we discover why this episode is called \u201cThe Tragedy.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_975050\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-975050\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-975050\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/mandalorian-season-2-episode-14-moff-gideon-1-1014x425.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1014\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/mandalorian-season-2-episode-14-moff-gideon-1-1014x425.jpg 1014w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/mandalorian-season-2-episode-14-moff-gideon-1-450x189.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/mandalorian-season-2-episode-14-moff-gideon-1-768x322.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/mandalorian-season-2-episode-14-moff-gideon-1-570x239.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/mandalorian-season-2-episode-14-moff-gideon-1.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1014px) 100vw, 1014px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-975050\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lucasfilm\/Disney+<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gideons_Ghastliness\"><\/span>Gideon&#8217;s Ghastliness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Gideon jumps away, leaving Mando to sort through the wreckage of his ship. Grogu\u2019s favorite toy (the ball from the top of the lever in the ship) survived, as did the beskar spear. Boba says their deal isn\u2019t done, though; The Child isn\u2019t safe, so he and Fennec are in Din\u2019s debt. They make a pit stop for Mando to chat with Cara (Gina Carano) about springing Mayfield (Bill Burr), since he needs his help to find Gideon.<\/p>\n<p>And speaking of Gideon, he walks into Grogu\u2019s cell to find him using the Force to beat up two Stormtroopers pretty badly \u2014Force choking and all. That exhausts the poor little guy, and Gideon, after showing him the darksaber, has another trooper stun him and put him in shackles. Then he tells his officer to send an encrypted message to Dr. Pershing (Omid Abtahi): \u201cWe have our donor.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Observations\"><\/span>Other Observations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>I think this is my favorite episode so far in the series. There\u2019s just so much to love here, from the surprises to the action sequences to the music.<\/li>\n<li>So, who are we thinking Grogu reached out to? If he chose to walk the way of the jedi, my gut says Ezra Bridger (if he\u2019s played by Rahul Kohli, even better) given that we\u2019ve already heard about Thrawn. But I\u2019ve seen speculation that it could be Cal Kestis (who could easily be played by Cameron Monaghan, given that he voices him in <em>Fallen Order<\/em>). It could also be Luke, but I\u2019m not sure Disney will go there. It sure seems like it&#8217;ll be a season-finale reveal.<\/li>\n<li>Boba Fett remains all kinds of cool, but the real shock here was Fennec surviving. I\u2019m just happy Ming-Na Wen is back.<\/li>\n<li>I hope we\u2019re getting Bo-Katan back this season. Gideon revealing the darksaber again this episode feels like it\u2019s hinting toward her showing up, since that\u2019s kind of her whole quest right now. If Mando manages to assemble a team consisting of Boba, Fennec, Mayfield, Bo-Katan and the Nite Owls, and Cara Dune, the Empire doesn\u2019t stand a chance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>The Mandalorian<\/em>, Fridays, Disney+<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
