Title: The Return
Director: Rick Famuyima
Runtime: 41 minutes
This is it, folks! The season three finale! I can’t believe it’s already been eight weeks since the season started. There are no Easter eggs this time. If you watched the episode last week then you know exactly where we left off, so let’s discuss it.
Chapter 24 picks up right where the last episode left off, obviously. Bo-Katan and the rest of the Mandalorians are fighting to retake their home world and Din Djarin has been captured.
Title: The Spies
Director: Rick Famuyima
Runtime: 52 minutes
This is the penultimate episode of Season 3. The folks that attended the Star Wars Celebration got to watch it early and, surprisingly, nobody posted any spoilers. Granted I didn’t go looking for spoilers because I would never do that. This is an amazing episode! One of the best of the season! Let’s talk about The Mandalorian Chapter 23.
Now that the clans are reunited, it’s time to return to Mandalore and reclaim their home planet. However, danger awaits them, and it’s more than the beasts that survived the Imperial bombings.
The Star Wars Celebration begins today, in London, and, as I predicted, we got our first Ahsoka teaser trailer. It is also available to watch on Disney+, or you check it out below!
We see a lot of familiar faces and places (if you’ve watched Rebels). Live-action Lothal and Huyang (whom I hope is still voiced by David Tennant is confirmed to reprise the voice) all look fantastic!! There are a few new faces too. I don’t recognize the blond Sith chick; the name Baylan sounds familiar but he is also a mystery.
Did anyone else get chills when Ahsoka called Thrawn the “heir to the Empire“???! The story for this series emerges from Star Wars Rebels. My advice is to go watch it before August otherwise you might be a bit confused.
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.
