Star Wars fans you all thought that I forgot about covering The Mandalorian season two didn't you will truth be told I just wanted a weeks rest from the show and covering the show. However i'm back now and my god what an episode to come back to just to give you an idea of how big the spoiler is in this episode I can't even put the full name of the episode in the title because it's a spoiler and i've had to make this a SPOILER filled review just to cover alot of the things that I want to talk about and so join me as I review the latest episode from The Mandalorian season two called "Chapter 13: *** ****" enjoy.
The plot of the episode is The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda land on a planet and have to help the local villagers on the planet escape the reign of an evil magistrate (I have no idea what that is either) all with the help of a new ally. I can't really go into that much detail about what I think of the plot because of spoilers but without giving to much away I thought that the story was honestly really good which for this show is really nothing new.
Now because one of the actors who appears in this episode is huge spoiler I can't list them or even who there playing. As such starring in this episode is of course series star Pedro Pascal as The Mandalorian , Michael Biehn as Lang , Diana Lee Inosanto as Morgan Elsbeth and Wing Tao Chao as Wing. There is one more name that like I said I cannot list because both who it is and who there playing is a huge spoiler but let's just say SJW's won't be happy and yes I did try and think of a way to include this person and who there playing but I couldn't think of any good way to include them in this part of the review tho.
As for what I thought about the acting in this episode as per-usual with this show the acting was honestly really freaking good. I don't think i've seen a single episode of this show that's had bad acting in it which just goes to show you how good this show is because it has good acting in every single episode which is something that even the best TV shows don't do and no one would blame this show if they had an episode that had bad acting since it's only naturel for a TV show to have at least one episode per-season that's badly acted.
SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now then boys and girls as you can quite clearly see we are now in the spoiler part of the review which means that I can finally list the other actor in this episode. Since the other actor in this episode is Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano and I have to say bravo because that right there is perfect casting and honestly the fact that Ahsoka is in this episode was the only reason why I made this review a spoiler filled one because I just knew that I would have to talk about Ahsoka in this episode.
They really got the look of Ahsoka down freaking perfectly in this episode no joke before I watched the episode I went online and I saw pictures from this episode and I couldn't tell that they were from this episode. Due to the fact that Ahsoka looks so much like her animated counterpart it's unreal even the above picture which is from this episode to me looks like it could from either Rebels or The Clone Wars because Ahsoka in this episode looks so freaking good.
Now even tho this is the spoiler part of the review there is one shout out that I want to keep hidden just due to how cool it is. However I will say that the villain of this episode Morgan Elsbeth (Diana Lee Inosanto) has a connection to certain blue skinned Grand Admiral and if the makers of this show want to they can very easily answer a question set up at the end of Star Wars Rebels just by having this blue skinned Grand Admiral come back.
We can stop calling Baby Yoda Baby Yoda because it has a name now and that name is Grogu and while i''m glad that Baby Yoda finally has a name I think that alot of us if not all of us either in the Star Wars fandom or not are going to keep on referring to him as Baby Yoda. Plus to me at least his name sounds so much like Goku that at times during this episode I couldn't hear the difference between Grogu and Goku.
Ahsoka is so freaking bada*s in this episode she gets alot of time to show her skills and I have to say that I loved Ahsoka in this episode due to how bada*s she is in this episode. To me Ahsoka and Cara Dune are two examples of how great the women characters in this Disney era of Star Wars can be and in my opinion both them plus Hera ad Sabine are better all round characters then Rey can ever hope to be because all of them are characters that have flaws and that have personalities and aren't there to shove a political message down our throats.
SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This episode has a running time of forty four minuets and forty five seconds long which to me was a tad on the long side for me personally. I say this just because the episode doesn't really have enough story to cover that long of a running time if anything this story should have been at least thirty five minuets long just because the episode doesn't have enough time to cover anything longer then thirty five minuets in my opinion.
Now then boys and girls there was some action in this episode and so that means that I have to talk about the action that's in the episode. Which to me was honestly fairly average just because we don't get to see anything new when it comes to the action and since we are back to being spoiler free there is a character in this episode who does gets a pretty cool action scenes both at the start of the episode and at the end of the episode which I honestly really liked but overall the action in the episode is stuff that we've all seen before in other movies and TV shows.
Overall to say that this episode was good would be a huge understatement and to say that I liked this episode would be an even bigger understatement. Yes there are some faults in this episode like for example there's a few dodgy looking CGI shots plus what I said in this review but there also alot of good things in the episode like what i've discussed in this very review as such this episode gets a 9 out of 10 from me.
All of the images that I used in this review were gathered from the official The Mandalorian fandom wiki page , the official Star Wars fandom wiki page or Google Images. When it comes to The Mandalorian I always say that it's best to get the images from the official The Mandalorian fandom wiki page just because there's a more of verity of images however in this case I think it's best to get the images from this episode from the official Star Wars fandom wiki page just because alot of the images on there are very high quality.
