Written by Jon Favreau, it sees Din Djarin (<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/tvinsider.com\/people\/pedro-pascal\">Pedro Pascal<\/a>) and the rest of his team face off against Moff Gideon (<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/tvinsider.com\/people\/giancarlo-esposito\">Giancarlo Esposito<\/a>) to get Grogu \u2014 or, if you\u2019re Bo-Katan (<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/tvinsider.com\/people\/katee-sackhoff\">Katee Sackhoff<\/a>), the darksaber \u2014 back.

They take the ship, sparing Pershing (and killing the two pilots). They then stop on a different world to pick up Bo-Katan and Koska Reeves (Mercedes Varnado, aka Sasha Banks), the latter of whom gets into a fight with Boba (Temuera Morrison) \u2014 they say he isn\u2019t Mandalorian, and it <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 Bo doesn\u2019t have much respect for him or his father. But nonetheless, they agree to help as long as Din allows them to keep Gideon\u2019s ship, and the darksaber.<\/p>\n<p>They come up with a plan. Boba stays behind on Slave 1 to battle the TIE fighters outside Gideon\u2019s ship and then jump away with Pershing, while Din, Bo, Cara, Fennec (Ming-Na Wen), and Koska fly inside on the Imperial cruiser. The latter four battle with the Storm Troopers and fight their way to the brig as a distraction, while Mando heads to save Grogu. The group doesn\u2019t encounter much resistance \u2014 nothing they can\u2019t handle, anyway.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_978956\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-978956\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-978956\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/mandalorian-season-2-finale-boba-fett-1014x425.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1014\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/mandalorian-season-2-finale-boba-fett-1014x425.jpg 1014w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/mandalorian-season-2-finale-boba-fett-450x189.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/mandalorian-season-2-finale-boba-fett-768x322.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/mandalorian-season-2-finale-boba-fett-570x239.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/mandalorian-season-2-finale-boba-fett.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1014px) 100vw, 1014px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-978956\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Disney+\/Lucasfilm<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Importance_of_Helmets\"><\/span>The Importance of Helmets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Poor Din, on the other hand, runs directly into the Dark Troopers, who\u2019ve just been \u201cactivated.\u201d He manages to get the doors closed before the whole squadron escapes, but he can\u2019t stop one incredibly determined mechanical soldier who slips out. That turns into the toughest fight we\u2019ve seen Mando endure on the show so far; his flamethrower and whistling birds have no effect on the Trooper, which keeps punching him in the head (good thing Mando, unlike Oberyn, has a beskar helmet). Eventually, Mando\u2019s beskar spear takes him down, and the rest of the Dark Troopers are sucked into space through an open blast door.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the group fights their way to the bridge, where they don\u2019t find Gideon\u2026because he\u2019s in the brig, with Grogu. At first, Gideon says he\u2019s gotten what he needs from Grogu \u2014 his blood \u2014and he claims Mando can take the Child and go. That, of course, was a lie. He fights Din, darksaber to beskar spear, and Din wins; he takes the darksaber and lets Gideon live, as his prisoner.

He takes Gideon to the bridge, where things get a little chaotic. Turns out, the darksaber, the only reason Bo was on this mission in the first place, can only be won through single combat \u2014 meaning that if she wants to be more than a \u201cpretender to the throne,\u201d as Gideon calls her, she\u2019d have to battle Din (yikes). She seems to be mulling it over, but then the platoon of Dark Troopers flies back; the empty void of space had no effect on them.<\/p>\n<p>The Dark Troopers arrive at the bridge, and the fact that the team closed the blast doors doesn\u2019t seem to mean much; they\u2019re going to punch their way through the steel, and likely every single person on the bridge, save for Gideon and the Child. But then, surprisingly, a savior appears: a jedi with a green lightsaber. They fight their way through the Dark Troopers like they\u2019re regular &#8216;ol Storm Troopers with no aim, and, despite the rest of the team\u2019s urging not to, Din opens the doors to allow the jedi inside.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s Luke Skywalker (<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/tvinsider.com\/people\/mark-hamill\">Mark Hamill<\/a>). LUKE! SKYWALKER! And he looks much as he did in <em>Return of the Jedi<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"We_Will_See_Each_Other_Again\"><\/span>We Will See Each Other Again<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Din knows it\u2019s time for Grogu to go; as Luke says, \u201cHe\u2019ll never be safe until he learns to master his abilities.\u201d He removes his helmet to allow Grogu to see his face, and Grogu reaches out and touches his cheek. Mando promises he will see Grogu again.<\/p>\n<p>When Mando sets the little green guy on the ground, he gives his papa a \u201chug\u201d the way he did in the Season 1 finale. Then R2-D2 appears (yay!), and Grogu seems to be a fan of the droid (I mean, who isn&#8217;t?). He walks over to Luke and R2, and Luke picks him up. &#8220;May the Force be with you,&#8221; Luke says. They make their way back to the elevator to the bridge, where Din, sans helmet and plus darksaber, watches the doors close.<\/p>\n<p>As if that wasn&#8217;t enough, a post-credits scene reveals Boba and Fennec blasting their way into, and taking over, Jabba&#8217;s Palace, which was being run by Bib Fortuna. Boba takes Jabba&#8217;s throne while Fennec sits on the side, drink in hand. <em>The Book of Boba Fett<\/em> \u2014 yes, we&#8217;re getting a Boba Fett spinoff \u2014 will be released in December 2021!<\/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>Man, in its last two weeks, 2020 took the cute Grogu-and-Din bonding from us, too?! This year. Ugh. Bring on 2021.<\/li>\n<li>I had chills seeing Luke again. I was expecting Ezra Bridger or Cal Kestis, so this was a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one. \u201cMay the Force be with you,\u201d indeed.<\/li>\n<li>That said, man, I\u2019m worried about Grogu. We know how Luke\u2019s Jedi Training Academy goes, or rather, goes bad. Hopefully Grogu gets out before Ben Solo turns to the Dark Side.<\/li>\n<li>Is Bo going to kill Din? Din definitely doesn\u2019t want to be Mandalore, but after this episode, I don\u2019t doubt that Bo would kill him for the darksaber if she had to.<\/li>\n<li>This makes me wonder what format Season 2 will take. Din&#8217;s whole quest up until this point has been getting Grogu back to his kind, and he&#8217;s succeeded, so&#8230;what now? I think a reckoning with the Armorer and the rest of his clan is coming next season for sure, but it&#8217;s harder to say what Din&#8217;s purpose will be.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rating: 5\/5.<\/strong> This episode deserves 10\/5, but 5\/5 is as high as I can go.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>The Mandalorian, Returns 2021, Disney+<\/strong><\/em><\/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.
