The second chapter of The Mandalorian season 3 wastes no time and moves the main plot forward without losing sight of the show’s signature episodic format.
highlighted how Chapter 17 was built to let audiences know what had changed during The Book of Boba Fett, what the next step in Din Djarin’s journey was, and why we loved this show in the first place. It was a lot to tackle within 30 minutes, and while everything clicked together and delivered classic Star Wars fun, the episode felt largely unfocused and too fast at times.
At this point, we think it’s important to underline how good this episode looks. Mind you, The Mandalorian is a consistently nice-looking TV series crafted by a team of professionals that make the budget sing, but Rachel Morrison’s touch can be felt all over Chapter 18, making it one of the most cinematic pieces of Star Wars television so far. We hope she returns to direct more The Mandalorian episodes for season 4 and beyond.
Unsurprisingly, R5-D4 goes missing shortly after it goes off to explore a crack on the planet’s crystalized surface , and we’re quickly introduced to cavemen-like aliens – later named Alamites – who used to live in the “surface wastelands”. Din dispatches them without major complications, but once again, we see he’s not very graceful with the Darksaber – the Armorer explained in Chapter 5 of The Book of Boba Fett there’s a technique to it which Din hasn’t mastered yet.
Din has been captured by a flea-looking mech that seems straight out of Terminator or The Matrix. Moreover, there’s a living being controlling it. And it gets even better when it steps out of the mech and creeps around in an unsettling cyborg body that might be a callback to General Grievous. We don’t know its name yet, but this has to be one of the creepiest live-action Star Wars characters ever, and we love it.
We believe that was a fair criticism, as Bo-Katan has always worked in tandem with other major Star Wars characters since her inception, but she’s a key part of the Mandalorian puzzle at this point, so further work needed to be done on her personal story and behavior, especially for those viewers who haven’t watched the animated series.
