TheMandalorian Season 3 Review: After Shaky Premiere, Episode 2 Recaptures The Heart
To a certain extent, every Star Wars project in the post-George Lucas era has had to ask itself what it means to be a Star Wars project. The answers have varied widely, and have thus divided viewers, each of whom has their own understanding of the franchise — what they're watching either resonates, or seems to them to "miss the point." Of all the interpretations so far, The Mandalorian's has perhaps been the most successful at finding the middle of the road.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY But the flagship Disney+ show has not been without its problems, namely the inconsistent writing that left the show's quality capable of varying significantly from episode to episode. The Mandalorian season 3 episodes 1 and 2, which were provided for this review, exemplify this trend perfectly. Despite starting with a bang, the season 3 premiere comes across as the TV equivalent of hand-wringing.
Equally strange is the decision not to release The Mandalorian season 3, episode 2 right alongside it, as it would have made the perfect balm for the premiere's disappointments. Not only does the story start in earnest, with the surrogate father and child injecting it with genuine tension, but the makings of an interesting arc are made visible.
Bo-Katan Kryze , the former ruler of Mandalore who returns after shaking Din's faith in season 2, emerges as an important foil for him. In criticizing his sect for fostering the division that left their people defenseless against the Empire, she made him aware of how little he knew about the history of the identity he lays claim to.
Equally key to its success is how well it embodies The Mandalorian's aforementioned Star Wars philosophy. While Din Djarin has been coded as a prototypical gunslinger, his journey to Mandalore will bring him closer to medieval fantasy-inflected sci-fi, and episode 2 has some fun fleshing out the beginnings of that iconography.
