The Mandalorian (Seasons 1 & 2)

The Mandalorian season 1: so where to start with this…ok so um this show is about a mandalorian bounty hunter who’s played by Pedro Castel….and he’s a foundling….which means wasn’t born into the mandalorian cult….he was found as a child and then was taught the ways of the mandalorians….these mandalorians are different…they believe in if u take ur mask off, then ur not welcome into the group anymore……different from the mandalorians in the clone wars….oh if any of u are wondering when in the timeline this show takes place……well this show takes place 5 years after return of the jedi…..ok so um back on track…..in the first episode we get introduced to Mando…he hunts down a person he’s paid to bring back in Carbonite….oh BTW this show makes that dumb holiday special cannon…by mentioning the holiday life day….sigh…..ok getting away from that…mando later gets hired by the empire….yeah the empire isn’t fully dead yet…..its a small group of them …so he thinks…..and they want him to bring them a thing..they dont say what that thing is….so anyways ( side note the 2 lines in this show that gets repeated again is this is the way…and I have spoken….BTW u might end up finding one of or both those words annoying by the end of this show) anyways, mando bumps into an assassin droid and they both agree to help each other out and split the bounty…long story short…at end of episode mando find out the bounty is a small baby…that will soon become to be known by the fanbase as baby Yoda…..Droid tries killing it and mando kills the Droid……oh I also forgot to mention that mando has a friend in this season….its the guy who’s in charge of the bounty hunter guild he is apart of…the guys name is Greef Karga (he’s another black dude in the star wars movies…what is this the 4th black dude…man star wars needs to be more diverse in my opinion….its mainly movies filled with white men…if u think about it…..hm strange)….so anyways I’m not gonna go through every episode…each episode is just him doing different things…that involves helping someone or bumping into somebody who will come back later..more instance …middle of this season he bumps into a ex rebel named Cara Dune……and she and him help out a village that’s being under attack by pirates……yeah she comes back later….in the second to last episode he brings her along and meets up with Greef Karga…and they go and stop the “handful” of stormtroopers that hired him…and been trying to hunt down and kill baby Yoda….basically this whole season is him protecting baby Yoda….so anyways they get to the city and they see there more stormtroopers and then situation gets worse……more stormtroopers come in the city and so does a Tie-Fighter…..and we finally get to see our main villian….his name is Moff Gideon….ok nevermind I meant this is the 9th black person in star wars….wait a go Disney….I applaud u…but u still ain’t getting my respect about everything else u done…so anyways if ur wondering who Moff Gideon is…well…so am i….I have no idea…he’s never been mentioned before…..I just like how this show think u know him…where literally mando and and Cara…say…I recognize that man he’s Moff Gideon…then Cara says no way he’s dead…and me as an audience member is sitting there and thinking….who’s Moff Gideon!?….why is this show representing him like the audience knows who he is….idk …..so anyways he’s menacing…he wears a black cape….and wears a chest armor plate…..and he wants the baby for sinister reasons…im assuming…..ok also side note…if ur wondering why I’m counting amount of black people. ..its because I like diversity….which star wars has kinda been lacking in….if u really think about it the only black men in the original 6 star wars films was Mace Windu and Lando Calrissian……so 2….granted clone wars has 2 more extra black people…ok not much….now this is where I give Disney some credit….throughout this show and although the sequel trilogy is bad…but including the sequel trilogy and even there games……lets see how diverse they get…..in mandalorian their is 2 black men and 1 Asian woman…hm nice…I applaud u Disney….u did good…now onto sequel trilogy….2 black people and an Asian woman….ok so the same amount but hey at least it’s more diverse then the first 6….and as I said the first 6 was lacking in diversity in my opinion….and as for the games….battlefront 2 EA….we get Lando Calrissian and Finn and a new character who’s apart of the empire and she’s dark skinned….so again good job Disney 

👏
👍

….now as for fallen order…there is one black woman and a Indiana woman….hm ok Disney u have won me over in the diversity part of star wars….but everything else u have failed at……so ill give them credit for diversity and for the mandalorian show and the last season of clone wars and rogue one….but thats as far as my praise for the Disney star wars ends…..ok jack to the topic…..um….

So anyways mando uses his jet pack to fly up to Moff Gideon Tie-Fighter….and he crashes the ship….and they think he is dead, so anyways mando has a task to send baby Yoda to the jedi……if there’s any left…..so mando says bye to Cara Dune and Greef Karga……and he heads off on his ship…..oh and we see Moff Gideon ship and he is still alive…..he cuts his way out of his ship….if ur wondering what he is using to cut through the ship…..he’s using the Dark Saber……yes that dark saber from the clone wars….he has it….how?….um I mean the empire did kill off majority of the mandalorians and rain terror on mandalor….so maybe he took it during the purge……and thats how this season ends…overall I really loved this season  …to end on a pun….this is the way….that Disney should go forward with for star wars for a while…..ok um I’m gonna give this a solid 9/10…..here’s the trailer for season 1.

The Mandalorian season 2: so where to start, ok so let’s start off saying….this season really feels like a fan service series….ill get to that….so for the first episode….we see mando on tatooine…might can’t star wars not get enough of that planet?…ok so anyways he is told about a mandalorian…so he goes and finds this mandalorian….its not a mandalorian…its a guy wearing Boba Fett armor…and no it aint Boba Fett,  this random guy is from the comics…both in the comic and this show he bought Boba Fett armor from jawas…..strange….Disney said they don’t consider the comics cannon to the films yet they’re perfectly fine taking inspiration from the comics…..u hypocritical Twats……so anyways mando wants that armor…..the guy says if u help me save the town from a giant worm ill give u the armor…..so anyways episode ends with them and Tuskin Raiders destroying the worm…and mando leaves with Boba Fett armor….then the episode ends with we seeing the real Boba Fett standing on a cliff and we see his face its scared…and he is wearing dark brown robes and and has Tuskin Raiders weapons….woo-hoo Boba Fett is back….here’s the clip

So anyways if ur wondering how much more can service we …well a few episodes later we get the appearance of Bo Katan and 4 of her men…thats right she’s back…and she looks like she hasn’t aged ….ok well a bit but u would think she would have grey hair at this point…because its been like 25 or almost 30 years since the clone wars!….but anyways….she wants the dark saber so she can rule mandalore….she asks for mando help…he won’t because he is on a quest to send baby Yoda home……she offers to tell him which jedi to take him to if he helps them take over a emperial ship…he does that and she tells him to take him to Ashoka Tano…..lovely….so now we have 3 fan service characters at this point….so anyways then about 2 episodes later we get introduced to Ashoka…

Anyway she sends them off…don’t ask why….she can’t train him….so let’s skip a bit and get to the last few episodes…so episode 6 we see mando take baby Yoda to a jedi temple ruin….and he places Yoda on there to communicate with whatever jedi is left….and guess who comes down on the planet….Boba Fett…and he brings along a woman assassin that the mando ran into in season 1……she was left for dead and Boba Fett saved her….so Boba Fett wants his armor back…..so a bit of negotiating happens but then stormtroopers come down and they team up to fight them….and omg Boba Fett is a badass….

He kills like 22 stormtroopers by himself…wow  John favro and Dave Filoni…did a great job at making Boba Fett such a great character unlike what the original trilogy did to him…..which was nothing….he did absolutely nothing in the original trilogy…now he’s living up to his reputation…..so anyways during this fight he goes in mandos ship and takes his armor back…and it looks a bit goofy on him…since the actor has gained some belly weight…and he’s wearing layers of robes….so his chest plate doesn’t look like it fits perfectly on him and he now looks like he’s wearing a kilt….which in my opinion looks dumb…but hey if u guys like it then that’s good …..so anyways episode ends with Moff Gideon coming out of orbit in his emperial ship ….and his ship destroys mandos ship…uh oh…and then Moff Gideon sends down a army of robot death troopers…see the original death troopers were good and more dangerous but throughout the years they got more improved and the empire found out the flaw about the past death troopers were the humans wearing the suits…so they replaced it from humans into now robots….oh and these robots are fire proof and bullet proof…only Bescare metal weapons can kill them…luckily mando armor is made of Bescare and he has a spear made of Bescare….in my season 1 review I forget to mention that In the first season he gets new armor made of Bescare metal…its a rare metal…thats basically impossible to destroy…..basically it makes u bullet proof and fire proof….and sword proof and knife proof….even dark saber proof…which I guess means he is Lightsaber proof as well….so anyways the droids pick up Yoda and take him to Moff Gideon….oh no….so his ship destroyed and baby Yoda taken away…the stakes are high, so Boba Fett says until baby Yoda is back in mandos care…they will help him get him back…episode ends with them going to ask Cara Dune for help…now skipping episode 7 and going to episode 8….so in the season finale…they bump into Bo Katan…and ask for help from them…they get into a fight against Boba Fett because… A. Hes not a mandalorian….and B. All the clones sound like him (she hates the clones because,  A. In the clones wars she fought against a few…and B. Because the clones end up becoming stormtroopers and takeover mandalor and her people)…so understandable….so what makes Bo Katan decide to help them is mando says he has  Coordinates to Moff Gideon….so now that peaks her interest…so anyways Bo Katan and her group and Cara Dune and Boba Fett and mando go save Grogu…yeah forget to mention Ashoka says baby Yoda name is Grogu….im not calling him that….so anyways they get on board….mando fights against Moff Gideon….he beats Moff Gideon and wins the sword….and he frees Grogu….and take him and the sword and Moff Gideon up to the command room…and tries to hand Bo Katan the sword…she does not accept it because she has to win it in combat….lovely…..so anyways now the death trooper droids start trying to break into the room they closed them selves in and guess who comes to the rescue….its Luke Skywalker, and this scene is epic….it resembles alot of that Darth vader hallway scene in rogue one

…..so luke comes in and takes Grogu…..Grogu and mando say goodbye…and we see mando tearing up ..its emotional….and thats how the episode ends…oh and there is a post credit scene of Boba Fett entering Jabbas palace and killing Bib Fortuna…the guy who was Jabbas right hand man…see Bib Fortuna is now in charge of Jabbas palace…and he kills him and now Boba Fett sits in his new throne and is now in charge of the hutts….and this is a teaser for the new spinoff show called the book of Boba Fett…which is airing December 2021….here’s the clip

Wo overall i really liked this season alot….so far Dave Filoni and John Favro are proving to be the right people to direct star wars….well no shocker about Dave Filoni…he brought us the clone wars….one of if not the most best star wars we have gotten….I recommend this show its only on Disney plus….ill give this season a solid 9.9/10

Also heres the trailer for season 2
