When Mando arrives on the speeder he used in Season 1 and left in Motto’s care, he finds the off-the-grid settlement still inhabited. Its location is ominously unmarked: There be Krayt dragons. With an assist from original trilogy relic R5-D4, who’s also reprising his appearance from the first season, she shows Mando on a map where the Mos should be. Motto explains that the Mos is an old mining settlement that was wiped out by bandits after the Empire pulled out.
Motto, who took care of the Razor Crest and babysat in Season 1, is pleased to see Clan Mudhorn despite nearly getting caught in the crossfire during their previous encounter, and Mando hits her up for directions to Mos Pelgo, a name she’s not heard in a long time. Mando leaves Koresh for the local fauna-which look a little like the light-averse fyrnocks from Rebels and The Clone Wars-and sets course for the planet farthest from the bright center to the universe but closest to the center of Star Wars.Īccording to Koresh, the mysterious Mandalorian resides in Mos Pelgo, not to be confused with the more familiar Moses, Eisley and Espa. What are the odds that there are two people on an underpopulated planet sporting the Order’s ultra-rare armor? Koresh has to be talking about Boba Fett. Under duress, Koresh admits, “The Mando I know of is on Tatooine,” causing the hairs to stand up on Star Wars fans’ arms. The Future of ‘Star Wars’ Should Look a Lot More Like Baby Yoda With help from his whistling birds and some hand-to-hand combat, Mando turns the tables on Koresh’s henchmen and strings up their employer. Koresh is said to have the hookup, but as it turns out, he’s an unscrupulous beskar collector with designs on Mando’s shiny shell.
With the covert on Nevarro abandoned, Mando is cut off from his kind, and he’s searching for other Mandalorians who can help him with his quest to take the Child to the Jedi. This time, Mando is following a lead from the late Gor Koresh (John Leguizamo), a gangster whom he overpowers in the opening scene, which takes place on an unspecified Outer Rim planet. Mando and the Child visited the adopted planet of Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi in the deeply self-referential fifth chapter of Season 1, and they make a beeline back at the start of Season 2. The Star Wars franchise can’t quit Tatooine, and The Mandalorian is as guilty of going back to the well as the movies, video games, and novels. Still don’t.” Mos Eisley may be a wretched hive of scum and villainy, but when it comes to Tatooine real estate, “The Marshal” makes a compelling case for the city over the suburbs. “Once the Empire fell, it was a free-for-all,” Peli Motto (Amy Sedaris) tells Mando when he returns to the desert planet in Chapter 9. That’s easy to say when you’re the one bossing around Stormtroopers and wearing a shiny Imperial medallion, but not when you’re the one being ground under the Empire’s bootheel ask Cara, the Alderaan native, whether the Empire “improves every system it touches.” In the case of Tatooine, though, the Client may have had a point. Is the world more peaceful since the revolution? I see nothing but death and chaos.” “Compare Imperial rule to what is happening now,” he told Mando, Cara Dune, and Greef Karga.
Last season, the Client made the case for the Empire as a civilizing force.
Empire season 2 episode 1 synopsis series#
Let’s review what we learned in “Chapter 9: The Marshal,” the first episode directed by series creator, writer, and showrunner Jon Favreau. The Mandalorian is back for a second season, and I’m back to break it down. A familiar setting, a famous guest, a loose end addressed, and a major character reveal-but not necessarily the one you would think.
