(Okay, maybe hes not that great at his job?)
Of course, the Child also helps make him vulnerable.
The Mandalorian might be covered in Beskar steel, but the Child isnt.
When his charge is threatened, the Mandalorian may as well be naked.
His opponent has him in his sights, he loses an engine … even the Child looks worried.
Stormtrooper helmets rest on pikes, still bearing traces of blood.
Other than that, the place looks much as it always has, only quieter.
(Maybe its the Modal Nodes afternoon off?)
Perhaps Jabbas death has thinned out the scum and villainy a bit.
Not that everyone hanging around is on the up-and-up.
After landing, the Mandalorian meets Peli Motto (a previously unannounced Amy Sedaris wearing a spectacular wig).
(Does this quieter Tatooine no longer have pod races?)
But she also doesnt seem particularly scrupulous.
(2) Does the Mandalorian knowanythingabout parenting?
Then he just … leaves.
You cant wander away from a sleepy baby.
Thats not even Parenting 101; thats just common sense.
They hit some snags, first in the form of some Tusken Raiders.
They observe different customs, speak a different language, and are hostile to those who cross their paths.
One line even suggests theyre the indigenous culture and the other races are outsiders.
Everyone else is just trespassing.
Once past the Tuskens, its just a matter of taking down Shand.
That proves pretty difficult.
RIP, Toro.Enjoy Beggars Canyon.
But maybe not RIP Shand?
The Mandalorian and the Child end the episode heading off to parts unknown butsomebodypays a visit to Shands body.
That answer likely awaits us, and the Mandalorian, somewhere down the line.
Bounty Pucks
The Mandalorian again expresses his hatred for droids.
Is this just part of awidespread anti-droid sentimentor the result of a specific experience?
Whatever the case, droids seem to be making progress in some quarters.
(Not that this stops the Mandalorian from addressing it disrespectfully as Hey, droid.)
The cantina scene offers several callbacks and some new creatures, including some kind of giant insect.
The red droid we see sliding up to the bar looks a lot like R5-D4.
This weeks required viewing: you’re free to find the experienced gunslingercallow-newcomer relationship in many a Western.
