![]() Mandalore is a cursed planet, only people die there. ![]() Mando is like, and we’re paraphrasing here, “No thanks. “We are seizing those weapons and using them to retake our homeworld.” Trask is a black-market port and the locals have been staging weapons to sell “with the plunders of our planet,” Bo says. One can hardly turn down a drink from the people who’ve saved your neck twice in the space of 10 minutes, so Mando and Baby Yoda join the trio for a bevvy and Bo gives him the 411. There he’s confronted by some Quarrens ready to murder him and “his pet” for killing one of their brothers, but never fear-Bo, Koska, and Axe turn up just in time, again, to take out the Squidward fan club. “There’s only one way, the way of the Mandalore,” he says before jetting back to dryish land. She’s the last of her line, but Mando is freaked out by their helmet-free faces. We won’t give too much away and stick to what Bo reveals in the episode: She was born on Mandalore and fought in the Purge, which saw Empire forces decimate the planet’s civilization. Bo explains to Mando that he’s a “Child of the Watch,” which she describes as a “cult of religious zealots who broke away from Mandalorian society.” Their goal is “to reestablish the Ancient Way.”īo, however, was brought up in the Clan Kryze, and there’s a lot of backstory to enjoy in the animated series. Koska Reeves (Mercedes Varnado) and Axe Woves (Simon Kassianides), also from the series, make up her party. It’s here we’re introduced, for the first time in live-action form, to Katee Sackhoff’s Bo-Katan Kryze, who began life as a character Sackhoff voiced in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series. Thankfully, the local Mandalorians have been keeping an eye on the clan of two since they arrived on Trask, and take out the Davy Jones lookalike contest before the Mando and Baby Yoda end up as fish food.īut shock! Horror! These Mandalorians are taking off their helmets! Mando has had enough drama without needing to demand three sets of armor back, so there’s much relief when it turns out they’ve simply been raised differently from our Din Djardin. ![]() ![]() There, some Quarren fishermen agree to take Mando to sea to find those he seeks, but they double-cross him in order to steal his Beskar armor. Baby Yoda, meanwhile, is hungry, and now that frog spawn is off the menu, Mando takes him to a local inn where he can get info about the mysterious Mandalorians. He leaves it with a mechanic of the Mon Calamari people while Frog Lady reunites with her Frog Man, and luckily, there are more than enough eggs left for him to fertilize. Still, upon entry into the atmosphere of Trask, an estuary moon located in the same star system as the gas giant Kol Iben, Mando’s (t)rusty steed ends up in the port rather than the landing bay and needs fishing out. You’ve really got to hand it to the Razor Crest for doing the most while hanging together by a thread. After a spine-tingling escape from a killer spider-inhabited ice planet in episode 2, Mando, The Child and Frog Lady are plunged straight into the deep end in episode 3, “The Heiress.” Luckily, there are a few Mandalorians more than willing to help their brethren, and their arrival not only provides further insight into our eponymous hero’s origins, but also sets up a compelling new storyline that pits the survivors of Mandalore against the Empire once more. ![]()
