![]() ![]() Even the Lieutenant he talks to (played by the always awesome Tim Meadows) says it’s a big “leap” to make going from pirate incursion to talk of Imperials. It’s a bit weird, though, that Teva immediately jumps to the conclusion the Imperials are having a resurgence. The result is getting to see a bit of how these Rangers on the outskirts deal with things. When he gets the distress call from Greef Karga, like any good former Rebel, he’s eager to help out. First, it’s awesome to see Carson again, and I love how his role has expanded over the seasons. Take Carson Teva, for example, and a storyline very obviously pulled from the Rangers of the New Republic show that, by all accounts, has been scuttled. (L-R): Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu in Lucasfilm’s THE MANDALORIAN, season three, exclusively on Disney+. Oftentimes this leaves the audience with having to do much more heavy lifting in terms of connecting the dots. There are clear and distinct elements in place for the story wanting to be told, but the individual episodes are just kinda bouncing all over it. This time around, though, it feels like a bumpier ride. While the previous seasons had a bit of this issue, you could still see how certain pieces connected and there was a general flow to the season. Namely, the story has just felt a bit disjointed this time around. The Pirate helped me solidify some of why I’ve been feeling that way. It’s hard to deny, however, that something has felt a bit…off with season three so far. ![]() It’s a fun bit of campy Star Wars every single week, and I can’t help but smile the whole time I’m watching. Generally speaking, I’m still very much enjoying The Mandalorian. The problem, however, is the way it comes about in today’s episode spotlight’s the problems this season has been having.ĭon’t get me wrong. It’s also nice to get a bit more insight into the state of the galaxy in general, and seeing how things are building up to something bigger. ![]() (L-R): Grogu, Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Paz Vizsla (Tait Fletcher) in Lucasfilm’s THE MANDALORIAN, season three, exclusively on Disney+. Which is great considering we got one of the biggest action sequences so far combining both aerial and land battling action! They definitely chose the right guy for today’s episode, and the fun factor is absolutely through the roof. You can feel the director’s influence in the shots and general visual prowess. Directed by Peter Ramsey (Into the Spider-Verse), The Pirate brought in a lot of great elements and overall production design. Overall, I greatly enjoyed today’s episode. Again, I’m not recapping the play-by-play of the show you just watched. I know I don’t normally start these things off with a discussion about things to come, but today this seems like the place to start…mostly because I think it’s been shaping my thoughts on the season as a whole so far. In the meantime, get caught up with my previous recaps here: Chapter 17, Chapter 18, Chapter 19, Chapter 20.Ĭaptain Carson Teva (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee) in Lucasfilm’s THE MANDALORIAN, season three, exclusively on Disney+. So make sure you’ve watched the episode before coming back to this. There’s some fun things to discuss, but as always, I’ll be knee deep in spoilers. ![]() Not to mention some Rangers of the New Republic action to move the bigger story forward, and a whole heap of action. Today’s episode of The Mandalorian, titled The Pirate, brings back a familiar green enemy from earlier in the season, while offering a new way forward for Din, the Armorer, and their covert of Mandos. This week’s episode of The Mandalorian brings tons of action, a new path forward, and some teasing details of what’s to come.
