Like many dads before him, Pedro Pascal pretends to be fine that no one listens when he tells them to stop spoiling Grogu. Shouldn’t someone stay back with the Fleet to be in charge of the others? She went on the mission to free Nevarro, but that was an all-hands situation. In a surprise move, the Armorer (Emily Swallow) also volunteers to come along. Din is, naturally, bringing his toddler child. It’s the usual suspects: Din, Paz Vizsla (Jon Favreau), Axe Woves (Simon Kassianides), Koska Reeves (Mercedes Varnado), and a collection of random other Mandalorians. Nonetheless, Bo chooses this awkward venue to seek out volunteers to do a recon mission of Mandalore. No one is having a very good time at the Mandalorian family feast. Like many grandfathers before him, Karga wins out. A delighted Grogu can also communicate via the droid, namely in persistent “Yeses” and “Nos” like all toddlers before him. Still, Grandpa Karga wants Grogu to sit in his present and see if it fits. Karga has a surprise for them: a refurbished IG-11, now IG-12, and an operational vehicle droid that just so happens to be Grogu-sized.ĭin appreciates the gesture but thinks Grogu is too young for a mech suit. Meanwhile, Din Djarin ( Pedro Pascal) and Grogu visit Greef Karga (Carl Weathers). Speaking of Nevarro, the Mandalorian Fleet arrives, and Bo-Katan Kryze ( Katee Sackhoff) just wants all of her kids to get along. Next, they inextricably link The Mandalorian and its associated universe to the sequel trilogy. First, they continue the growing references to Rebels and the upcoming Ahsoka show to build up the overarching story. These cameos in the Shadow Council do two things very well. Finally, he’d really appreciate if everyone stopped asking him if he was doing experiments with Dr. Oh, and Gideon wants three Praetorian Guards, reinforcements for his TIE interceptor force. Then he manages to maneuver Pellaeon and Hux into sharing their amassed resources with the rest of the class. Pershing and his research were lost thanks to the New Republic. Hux is working on something called Project Necromancer (they named these things in their cool treehouse) for this very reason. Thus, Gideon recommends that the Imperial remnants start looking for new leadership. Gideon points out that Pellaeon is always saying that Thrawn will be back any day now, but it never seems to happen. The most talkative of them (do they have a special handshake?) are Gilad Pellaeon ( Xander Berkeley)–there to assure everyone that his best buddy Grand Admiral Thrawn is totally on his way back–and Brendol Hux (Brian Gleeson), father of future First Order General Armitage Hux. The Shadow Council is, essentially, a clutch of remaining Imperial officers and warlords who have decided they needed a boss team name. Yes, Katy O’Brian isn’t on the side of angels–she’s a baddie, if you will–but she does get things done. Gideon then walks to join a holo meeting of the Shadow Council already in session. Gideon dislikes hearing about the Mandalorian factions getting along, so he says he’ll deal with that while Kane continues her mission. She breaks him the news that the pirates couldn’t take Nevarro due to the help of the Mandalorians. There she has a sneaky little holo conversation with Moff Gideon ( Giancarlo Esposito). O’Brian) walks down a Coruscant alleyway. However, an added Dave Filoni credit tells us that the Star Wars universe will be linking up even further. Jon Favreau wrote “The Spies,” as per usual. Spoiler alert: They aren’t up to anything good. The penultimate episode of Season 3 brings us some answers at last. Last week I asked to see what the remnants of the Empire were up to. While one of them is obvious, the others remain a mystery, sure to inspire elaborate theories from viewers. Welcome to Chapter 23 of The Mandalorian, “The Spies.” Remember that’s plural: more than one spy is or should be present this week.
