The Mandalorian "Chapter 8: Redemption" Review


Star Wars fans it's been almost a month to the very day that I lost wrote about of The Mandalorian and well I just wanted to talk about an episode of this particular amazing show. Simply because this show is in all honesty that damn good that it demands that people talk about all the time or as they can do / as many times as is humanly possible and so join me as I review another episode of The Mandalorian with the episode in question being called simply just "Chapter 8: Redemption" enjoy.

The plot of this particular episode is The Mandalorian , Cara Dune ,  Greef Karga and IG-11 all find themselves trapped in a room with dozens of stormtroopers and the evil Moff Gideon outside of the room that our heroes are currently trapped in just waiting patiently for our freaking heroes to even try and to escape. Now then as for what I personally thought about the plot of this episode in all honesty I thought that the plot of this episode was rather weak since they finish up the story that I summarized for you all within thirty minuets and so I would have liked it if this episode had a much stronger story to it but with that being said tho the set up for this particular episode is indeed a good one.
 

Starring in this particular episode is Pedro Pascal as The Mandalorian and we also have this particular episodes director Taika Waititi as The Voice Of IG-11. Also starring in this particular episode is Giancarlo Esposito as Moff Gideon , Gina Carano as Cara Dune , Carl Weathers as Greef Karga , Emily Swallow as Armorer , Jason Sudeikis as Bike Scout Trooper Number 1 , Adam Pally as Bike Scout Trooper Number 2 , Aidan Bertola as Young Din Djarin , Alexandra Manea as Din Djarin Mother , Bernard Bullen as Din Djarin Father and Brendan Wayne as Mandalorian Warrior.

Now then as for what I personally thought about the acting that's / that is featured / presented to us in this very episode in all honesty I thought that the acting that's / that is featured / presented to us in this very / actual / particular episode was really good. With all of the cast that of characters that are appearing in this episode giving some truly wonderful performances and the fact that this episode has some really good acting in it shouldn't come as a complete shock to anyone since the acting that's in this very / particular TV show has always been really good and so it only makes sense that this particular episode follows / continues on with that very /particular trend in my opinion anyways / at least.


Doing the CGI effects for this particular episode are Happy Mushroom and Legacy Effects and while the show des usually have some really great CGI effects in this episode however the show / this episode has very mixed quality CGI effects. Which is a shame because the overall quality of the CGI effects in this episode and in this very show is usually very high and yet in this episode that have an obviously CGI Scout Trooper getting beaten up or possibly even killed by an obviously CGI droid / robot but when this particular episode does have some good CGI you really do know it because it really is a good CGI effect. 



Now then even tho i've been pretty freaking positive about this episode thus far there are some things about this particular episode that I personally didn't like with the first of which being the inclusion of The Armorer since the inclusion of The Armorer in this episode felt very forced and while it was needed the makers of both this show and the makers of this particular episode could have found a more organic way in which to include the character if The Armorer but that's just what I think and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways / at least.

The other thing that I personally didn't like about this episode is the fact that we don't really get to see any interesting character combinations in this episode. This issue however is more understandable since the setup for this particular / very episode doesn't really allow for alot of interesting or even new character combinations but at the sae time I honestly do think that it would have been very interesting to have two characters who have never met each other before the events of this particular / very episode and have those exact same two characters have a full blown conversion with each other just to see how each character would react to what the other character is currently saying to them.


Now then I do very fully admit that I was shocked that both Disney and Lucasfilm allowed a character to be killed of and in this case the character in the question is the droid that is called simply just IG-11. Simply because you don't really associate the deaths of TV characters with Disney and with Lucasfilm now being fully under the Disney umbrella it wouldn't have been that / very surprising if Lucasfilm / Disney said no to killing of the character of IG-11 but I will fully admit that the death of IG-11 was a truly shocking and as well as being a truly sad ending for the character of IG-11 in my opinion anyways / at least.

This particular has / had a grand total running time of exactly forty six minuets and twenty six seconds and well I have to fully admit that that was the right amount of this very / this particular episode. Since there really isn't enough there in terms of plot or even story for that matter and as such  so it would have been very foolish to even attempt / try to get this episode to run anywhere close to a one hour running time in my opinion anyways / at least.


Now then since this show is an action show after all and so that does infact mean that I have to actually talk  about the actual action that is featured / presented to us in the actual episode itself an if i'm being well and truly very honest here people the action that is featured / presented to us in this actual / very episode was indeed really freaking good. Since alot of the action that we see in this episode episode is just so freaking cool to see and at the end of the day that's what  you want in any action sequence in my opinion anyways / at least.


Overall this episode was a really good first season finale episode indeed since it was a very entertaining episode to watch even if it doesn't really take that much of a full advantage of it's actual setup. Now that i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very / particular episode in this very / particular review that means that this episode of The Mandalorian gets a 9.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I used in this very from the official The Mandalorian fandom wiki page and the official Star Wars fandom wiki page. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images that I actually used that are actually from this very episode being the official The Mandalorian fandom wiki page just simply because there was a lot more of a verity of images that are from this actual episode to chose from and that simply wasn't the case with the official Star Wars fandom wiki page plus alot of the images that I personally used that are from the official The Mandalorian fandom wiki page (which are currently still up by the way) are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition.
