Coming out of a lackluster premiere, 'The Mandalorian' steps things up in a big way with "The Mines of Mandalore". They waste no time in getting to the meat of the larger story, with a much better mix of lore to chew on with very exciting action (did someone say slice and dice?). Meanwhile on 'The Bad Batch' side, Lucasfilm animation outdoes themselves yet again with another top tier episode of Star Wars animation (unfortunately it's another one without the show's titular characters). In "The Outpost" we catch up with Crosshair as he's sent on what appears to be one of the few remaining military missions left for the Clones now that they're being retired. It's full of moody character work that culminates in what feels like something long overdue. What a time to be a Star Wars fan when we get two stories of this caliber released on the same day. This double-feature experience will continue for the next 4 weeks, so buckle up!
