Episode 19 of The Mandalorian, THE CONVERT, promised time to explore Bo Katan’s religious experience with Din Djarin during his dive in “The Mines of Mandalore.” But it takes a sharp left after a thrilling TIE Interceptor battle in space and atmosphere. It goes on to deliver:
– The fate of Doctor Pershing, the mad scientist who cared for Grogu even though he did mad scientist experiments on him;
– Details about the Republic’s attempts to assimilate Ex-Imperials back into regular life;
– Travel biscuits that, in the 1980s, would have been turned into Pepperidge Farm goodies sold at Safeway;
– Details about Republic bureaucracy that seem fit for a different show that got cancelled before it was made;
– Maybe an indication of bribery? Deep conspiracy? Something?Did this third episode of Season 3 continue the excellent momentum from the second episode, or was it as much a descent into madness for the audience as it was for Pershing?
As we all anticipate the release of The Mandalorian & Grogu, John & Matt are celebrating with a rewatch and detailed discussions of The Mandalorian, Season 3. Join them as they debate and analyze on the most fun Star Wars podcast on the internet!
