The Mandalorian Chapter 8 Review

WARNING: Spoilers for the season finale of The Mandalorian are contained within. Do not read if you do not want the ending spoiled!

Could The Mystery Hunter in The Mandalorian be…

In the fifth episode of The Mandalorian, a mystery hunter appeared. No face was shown, but that didn’t stop a plethora of fan-theories from populating the internet. One of the biggest theories pointed to the mystery hunter as Boba Fett himself. Heck, we even speculated that it might be Cad Bane.

But who is this person? There is only one episode left for a suitable explanation. The Imperial villains seemed to be a step ahead of Mando and Greef. There is one logical explanation.

The Mandalorian Chapter 7 Review

It’s a heckuva week for Star Wars fans. Not only are we getting the final movie in what is now called “The Skywalker Saga”, but we are also getting a penultimate episode of The Mandalorian Season One. It’s a little mind-blowing that the season finale is already next week.

That said, the episode definitely feels like the beginning of a Third Act. Mando is contacted by Greef, who proposes a plan to kill The Client. This would, in theory, eliminate any bounty on Mando’s head and allow Greef to get back to running the guild. Naturally, Mando is suspicious and calls in his new friends Cara and Kuille, who has recently reprogrammed IG-11 to be a butler.

The crew formulates a plan where Mando would pose being captured. Then, at the proper moment, the switch would happen. Greef soon shoots his own trooper guards and admits that he originally planned to double-cross Mando and deliver The Child to The Client. This change of heart earns Mando’s respect and the group continues with the operation.

Before long, the poodoo hits the fan and our heroes are in the fight of their lives. Before long, the final boss of the story appears in the form of Moff Gideon. The episode ends on a cliffhanger with Kuille apparently dead and The Child in the hands of Imperial Scout troopers.

This means we will have to wait a few more days for the final episode to air, as this episode was released a few days early so it wouldn’t conflict with The Rise of Skywalker opening in theaters. Hopefully, it too doesn’t end on a cliffhanger and we get the plot resolution.

Even with only one episode left, there are still many ways this story could go. The heroes could flat out escape and win the day. Or we could get the reveal of the mysterious figure from Chapter 5. I have my theory on who it could be. It’s also very possible another party could join at the last minute.

Thankfully, with The Rise Of Skywalker opening this weekend, there will be plenty of Star Wars to tide us over for the next 10 days.

The Mandalorian Chapter 6 Review

Right off the bat, one of the things that differentiated this episode from the others was that it took place entirely in space or on a ship. This did cause the show to lose a little bit of the Western feel, but it also reminded us that this is still a galaxy far, far away. It also inadvertently made the episode seem a little more like a fan film, just a darn good one.
