The Mandalorian hits the halfway point of the season with a return to a familiar setting. Mando returns to Nevarro to reconnect with some old friends, and though not particularly plot heavy, it’s certainly a fun ride. Grief and Cara need Mando’s help to take out the last remaining Imperial stronghold on the planet, but they get more than they bargained for when they discover the true nature of the base. This action packed episode drops some interesting hints to the larger Star Wars galaxy (including a reference to The Phantom Menace!), setting up an interesting mystery for the rest of the season. The show has seemingly set the groundwork for things to really start moving next week. The Razor Crest is repaired, the bad guys are mobilizing, and all signs point towards a particular Jedi/citizen making an appearance next week. Exciting!
