I want to kick this review of by saying that this review will be spoiler free and so if there's anybody out there who hasn't seen this episode that you can check out this review and not have anything spoiled in terms of plot or characters or anything about the episode. This is honestly something that i'm seriously giving alot of thought into making a weekly thing just because this show is so good and I want to keep on watching it but weather or not i'll watch the episode and write the review the day of the episodes release I don't know yet and so yeah here is my SPOILER FREE of The Mandalorian Chapter 10 which us called "The Passenger" enjoy.
The plot of the episode is The Mandalorian must ferry a passenger with precious cargo on a risky journey. Yes I did use the synopsis that was on the official The Mandalorian fandom wiki page but honestly it's the best description of what happens in this episode as for what I thought about the plot of this episode to me it felt like it was huge step down from last weeks episode the plot for this weeks episode was still pretty fun and the story as a whole was really well told in my opinion.
Starring in the episode is of course Pedro Pascal as The Mandalorian , Amy Sedaris as Peli Motto and Misty Rosas as Frog Lady. Also starring in this episode is Richard Ayoade as Zero (Q9-0) , Paul Sun-Hyung Lee as Captain Carson Teva , creator of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels Dave Filoni as Trapper Wolf and Dee Bradley Baker as The Voice Of Frog Lady. I will say that given the synopsis for this episode I did expect a certain celebrity who is confirmed to be in season two of The Mandalorian to be in this episode but alas it sadly wasn't to be.
As for what I thought about the acting in this episode given that there aren't alot of actors in this episode. The acting in the episode is honestly up to the shows very high quality which given that this episode only have one main character who can talk English is honestly a pretty huge accomplishment in my opinion and I really do hope that the show keeps up with this high quality of acting in the rest of season 2.
Now I won't mention whose doing the CGI anymore because if i'm doing these reviews as a weekly thing that it would become boring for me to list who is doing the CGI for the episode every single week. However I will say that the effects in this episode honestly look so freaking good i'm not going to say that the the effects in this episode are as good as the effects in last weeks episode but there are still really freaking good.
Now i'm not giving anything away here but if I say Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets the film version that and this episode episode have something in common hopefully you'll start to connect the dots a little bit. I will say that how they did that connection was honestly fairly good but at the same time I feel that it could and more importantly should have been done better for reasons that I cannot say because of spoilers and so you'll just have to trust me on this.
This really isn't a spoiler since it doesn't have anything to do with the plot of the episode but I didn't like the look of the planet that The Mandalorian , baby Yoda and Frog Lady visit. Just because it looked very bland which for a planet in the Star Wars universe is not a good thing at all since even there most repeated types of planet always look visually interesting but here there's just nothing going on at all which makes the planet dull to look at.
This episode is only thirty nine minuets long which actually feels about right since there's not alot of story to cover anything close to an hour or even forty five minuets for that matter. I'm honestly surprised that in those thirty nine minuets that managed to pack in as much story as they did since it would have been very easy for them to have nothing advancing the plot for thirty minuets and then have everything advancing the plot in the last nine minuets but no here every scene is all about advancing the plot of the episode.
To me this episode felt more of like a horror comedy then it did a straight up action science fiction show. Since there are alot of scenes in this episode that had me laughing just like there are some scenes that looked like they were ripped straight out of a horror film which for me is a good thing because i freaking love horror films and because of how well those scenes were done in this episode I now want to see a horror film set in the Star Wars universe.
There really isn't that much action in this episode which is a shame because whenever we do get an action sequence the action can be pretty fun.I'm not giving anything away here but I feel that the first of two action scenes in this episode is perhaps the better one of the two just because it's the more fun of the two action sequences even tho the second one to me felt more personal but that's just what I think on the action in this episode.
Overall this was a really good episode and to me this episode felt more personal then the previous episode did. There are a few band things in this episode tho all of which i've mentioned in this review and while these issues aren't really that important they are still issues none the less but on the flip side of that there are alot of good things to be found in this episode which again i've covered those good things in this review as such this episode gets an 8 out of 10 from me.
All of the images that I used in this review were gathered from either the official The Mandalorian fandom wiki page and the official Harry Potter fandom wiki page. Guys and girls i've kept this review as spoiler free as possible and trust me it wasn't easy and since I got the vast majority of the images in this review from the official The Mandalorian fandom wiki page I have no choice but recommend that you guys use the official The Mandalorian fandom wiki page just because the images are very high quality as well as high definition.
