The Mandalorian: Season Two Finale

This morning I watched The Mandalorian Season Two finale The Rescue, and I wanted to share my thoughts on it, as well as my thoughts on where the show may go next season.

To begin, I have to say that it was an incredible story, that had an appropriate balance between the action and the drama taking place.

The Mandalorian Season Two has been much better than the first season in my opinion, and has been much more fascinating overall.

The most important aspect of Season Two in my opinion has been Boba Fett; the writers decision to bring him into the narrative was probably the smartest move that they made.

What I didn’t care for was Bo Katan’s criticism of him, saying that he isn’t a Mandalorian, because he is a clone of Jango Fett.

If you notice in his response, Bobba always responds with Jango being his father, because that is who he really was.

For whatever reason Jango wanted a descendant, an heir, a son, and the only way that he could have that was by asking for a clone of himself to raise as his own.

Other than being a clone, Bobba was unaltered genetically, making him for all intents and purposes human.

It also means that according to The Way, Jango had chosen to raise him as his own, and this in itself made Boba his heir.

It also means that because Jango was a descendant of Jaster Mereel, that Boba is the direct descendant and heir to the throne of Mandalore, and not Bo Katan as she claims.

This presents an interesting angle to the narrative for Season three, since Din is in possession of the Darksaber, which by birthright should belong to Boba Fett.

The other aspect of the Season Two finale that I want to discuss Is Din, and his relationship with Grogu.

In all honesty I was not expecting Grogu to be rescued this season; my thoughts were that the show would follow a similar arc as The Empire Strikes Back, and end in a cliffhanger.

Surprisingly, the ending was presented in such a manner as it could continue, or it could be end the show if they so chose to do so.

That being said, we know that there is a third season planned, so where will the narrative go from here?

My guess is that there are niue answers forthcoming from Dr. Pershing and Moff Gideon as to what exactly they were doing with Grogu, and why they neede his blood.

I also expect that at some point we will see Grogu and The Mandalorian cross paths again, possibly at the end of Season Three as a final farewell.

With that being said, I think that the remaining stories still revolve around the answers surrounding Moff Gideon, and possibly Din having to go on a series of missions that in some way either assist the Jedi, the New Republic, or both.

I also expect to see a continuation of the narrative between Boba Fett and Din, or at least having their paths cross again.

Boba Fett has become more than a supporting role in the show, he is now just as important and prominent as Din Djarin.

The Mandalorian has all of the elements present that make it what George Lucas always envisioned for Star Wars to be.

It has the action that we see in the Flash Gordon serials of yesterday, but it lacks the feel of a science fiction western.

Whatever your feelings and thoughts are, The Mandalorian has captivated millions of fans worldwide, and forever established a new hero in the Star Wars mythology.
