By carrying out the ancient ritual at that site and providing proof to his covert, he is redeemed.

Was I the only one who thought the payoff for that tookwaytoo long and was quite anticlimactic?

I get that Din Djarin doesn’t have any other sense of belonging other than his son Grogu.

But doesn’t Dinhavea better alternative in Bo-Katan?

Bo-Katan isn’t a psycho and actually removes her helmet, as opposed to Din’s covert.

They’re don’t even care that she doesn’t live by “The Way.”

They’re just kinda like, “Oh that’s cool.

You’re good.”

In part because Bo-Katan saved Din from the Living Waters.

And getting redeemed in the Mines of Mandalore.

Hope it was worth it.

Glad you didn’t get eaten by that mythosaur that you didn’t even see.

That whole thing took up only a fraction of Wednesday’s latest episode.

I got you)ground as Tatooine.

Because that show was pretty boring to kick off Season 3.

Secondly, I didn’t really see this pushback when Mando crashedThe Book of Boba Fett.

The Mando-centric episodes were the best part of that spin-off.

Then, the exceptional first season ofAndortied together myriad plot threads with supporting characters that came together so well.

It follows the impeccable Omid Abtahi’s Dr. Penn Pershing and a former Imperial officer named Elia Kane.

We saw her before.

She used to be under Moff Gideon’s command.

Dr. Pershing is being integrated into the New Republic’s amnesty program.

That is, rehabilitating and reforming the exes of the empire.

Here’s what’sreallygoing down here, though: Dr. Pershing wants to continue his CLONING RESEARCH.

He explains how they were on the verge of major breakthroughs before the Galactic Empire fell.

She knows of a shipyard with a junked Star Destroyer where he can obtain basic lab equipment.

After gathering everything he needs, they are promptly caught redhanded.

Turns out Elia set our poor guy Pershing up.

No telling what this will do to Dr. Pershing’s psyche.

The outcome is ambiguous, but not as ambiguous as Elia’s motivations.

Is she low-key still working for Moff Gideon?

Is he already angling to infiltrate the New Republic from the inside?

Questions I imagine we’ll get answers to soon.

We’re finally getting there.

Some nice little comedic moments in this scene as well.

That much I’m pretty confident about.

Not that the last two episodes wereterrible.Let’s not twist this write-up into something it’s not.

Put anything Star Wars-related in front of my face and I’ll find something positive out of it.

Alas, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t underwhelmed a bit.

Shit is really about to go down.

Can’t wait for the last five episodes of Season 3.
