![]() ![]() ![]() However, Kuiil and most of the Mandalorians on Nevarro were killed by the Imperials, while IG-11 sacrificed itself to eliminate a platoon of stormtroopers. Cara now has a job as an enforcer for Greef, who will also handle issues with her technically being a Republic Army deserter. Although he doesn't resume his job as a bounty hunter, Din's issues with the Bondsmen's Guild are cleared, and the guild won't accept any contracts from the Imperials for the Child anymore. Bittersweet Ending: Din, Cara, Greef and the Child are able to escape Moff Gideon's forces, killing the Imperials and liberating Nevarro.Big "NO!": Moff Gideon has a short but loud one when his readouts indicate that Mando tagged his TIE fighter with two Sticky Bombs.In the flashback, a Mandalorian shoots a droid just as it's about to kill Din as a child, hauls him out of his hideout and carries him to safety with his jetpack while the rest of his unit fights off the droids.IG-11 blindsiding the entire Imperial garrison gives the Mandalorian, Cara, and Greef a fighting chance. IG-11 rides into town on a speeder bike and throws the small army besieging the bar into disarray.It's apparently the most advanced current model. BFG: Another E-Web shows up, this one mounted on a tripod instead of a hover platform.Greef insists that's just war propaganda, but she has no intention of finding out the hard way. Better to Die than Be Killed: Cara has no intention of surrendering to be put in an Imperial Mind Flayer.Turns out they've actually been retrieved by the Armorer who is melting them down for their valuable beskar. Subverted when Din is shocked to find a pile of Mandalorian helmets from the Covert.The ending reveals Gideon is in possession of the Darksaber, which means its previous owner, Bo-Katan, lost it to him somehow, or lost it to someone else and it changed hands.He just killed an officer for interrupting him, so this might take a while. Bad Boss: Moff Gideon's willingness to kill his own troops is played for laughs in a very Black Comedy way in the beginning, with the two Scout Troopers with the baby being more exasperated than shocked when their dispatcher tells them about it.ĭispatcher: That's a negative.Badass and Baby: It's IG-11 and the Child instead of Mando and the Child this time around, specially when IG bursts into town driving a speeder bike and shooting at every stormtrooper in sight with deadly accuracy while protecting the little green wonder with his armored torso.They get little audience sympathy when IG-11 brutally beats them to death. Asshole Victim: The Scout Troopers are callous jerks who hit a baby because it annoys them.In a more meta sense, the person under the helmet is, of course, Pedro Pascal, the well-known actor the audience already knew was playing the Mandalorian, shooting down previous speculation that the helmet would hide some other, more twist-y identity. ![]() Anti-Climactic Unmasking: When the Mandalorian's face is finally revealed to the audience, the stoic bounty hunter is shown to be an ordinary human who looks as vulnerable and afraid as anyone else would be on the verge of death.Alliterative Name: Din Djarin (although the second "D" is silent.).Alas, Poor Yorick: Din cradles one of the pile of helmets he finds of his dead colleagues from the Covert.Fortunately IG-11 has a cutting tool, though even he almost takes too long. However unlike other examples it's not easy to get through the grill, even when Cara tries to shoot her way through. Air Vent Escape: It's actually a sewer vent.Afraid to Hold the Baby: Cara is reluctant to hold the Child since she doesn't "do the whole baby thing.".Affectionate Gesture to the Head: IG-11, Cara, and Greef all rub the Child's ears as they say goodbye to him.Action Girl: The Armorer proves that she's a capable warrior by taking out five Stormtroopers single-handed while armed with a hammer and a pair of forging tongs.Absurdly-Spacious Sewer: As per usual they are extensive, maze-like, clean, and a denizen of secret organisations that wish to avoid the authorities.11th-Hour Superpower: Din is given a jetpack by the Armorer, which he puts to good use to bring down Moff Gideon's TIE fighter.Pinned down by Moff Gideon's Stormtroopers, the Mandalorian, Cara, and Greef have to find a way out of their predicament. It is directed by Taika Waititi and written by Jon Favreau, and released on December 27, 2019.
