Biggs' Zone

Title: Guns for Hire
Director: Bryce Dallas Howard
Runtime: 45 minutes

I can’t believe we only have two more weeks of The Mandalorian and then a Star Wars break until Ahsoka comes out (assuming that is the next series). This episode takes a slight left turn from the normal formula, although the end has massive implications. Chapter 22 is also full of celebrity cameos, new and returning.

Din and Bo Katan are out to try to reunite all of Mandalore, per the Armorer’s request. Their mission takes them to a rather pretentious planet where the “organics” do nothing and the droids do all the work. L3 would not approve!

This is another fun episode, that I really enjoyed. It wasn’t just the cameos but that ending too!

Title: The Pirate
Director: Peter Ramsey
Runtime: 42 minutes

We are on the other side of the midway point. What secrets and schemes are lurking in Din’s future? I really enjoyed this episode, probably the best one of the season. This is another episode that feels like it takes more cues from Andor as it does, indeed, progress a sinister plot for Din and his covert.

A reminder that there will be no more spoiler warnings since we are now counting down to the season finale.

Title: The Foundling
Director: Carl Weathers
Runtime: 32 minutes

It’s the 20th episode of the series and the halfway point of season 3! One of the most surprising things about this episode is the runtime. (There is the other thing, which I will get to later.) However, this is another case where you can’t trust the Internet. While I can’t seem to find them anymore, I could have sworn I saw posts alleging this would be “the longest episode yet“. Obviously, they were just trying to garner clicks (perhaps that’s why I can no longer find them. Amateurs.)

This is an interesting episode that I quite enjoyed. Perhaps some minor nitpicks but nothing that decreased the quality of my enjoyment. Let’s get into it.
