The Mando accepts and the two set off on their speeders towards the dragon's lair. The Marshal makes Mando an offer: help him slay the dragon and the armour is yours. Their stand-off is interrupted by an earthquake of sorts, which is revealed to be a giant krayt dragon that has been terrorising the town of Mos Pelgo. It proves that the Marshal is no Mandalorian, which he says as much in a second.įor Mando, a random guy wearing another Mandalorian's armour is sacrosanct, and he immediately demands that the Marshal take it off and hand it over. He sits at a nearby table and promptly takes off his helmet (it's Timothy Olyphant!) an act that is forbidden in the Mandalorian creed. Pan to a guy sporting pieces of the Boba Fett armour at the door, who strides towards Mando and order two shots of a blue-coloured drink. You must mean the Marshal, the barkeep says, giving meaning to the title. Mando steps off his speeder bike and steps into an empty cantina (it's the middle of the day after all) and asks the barkeep where he can find “a man who looks like me”. The shots of Mando arriving in Mos Pelgo are right out of the Western playbook, with strangers regarding a new arrival - one who sports shiny beskar armour - with caution. Motto says that's because it was wiped out during the war, and it's a simple mining settlement now. Mando takes Motto's help in finding out the Tatooine city Gore Keresh spoke about, a certain Mos Pelgo, which is not seen on any modern maps. Motto is very pleased to learn that Baby Yoda is alive and well, and surprised to see that Mando is now okay with her droids touching his ship. The Mando, and Gore Keresh in The Mandalorian season 2 episode 1Ī return to Tatooine meant a reunion with the mechanic Peli Motto (Amy Sedaris), first introduced in The Mandalorian season 1 episode 5 “Chapter 5: The Gunslinger”. Mando then left Keresh to die at the claws of nocturnal creatures.Įverything You Need to Know About The Mandalorian Season 2 With his life on the line, Keresh volunteered that he had heard of another Mandalorian on Tatooine, a planet well known to Star Wars fans.
Keresh tried to flee to safety in the ensuing chaos but the Mando caught up with him outside and hung him upside down on a street light, a shot that brought The Dark Knight to mind.
What followed was entirely predictable, as Mando made short work of Gore Keresh's paid henchmen. The Mando activated “whistling birds” - tiny rockets on his arm - and Baby Yoda took that as a sign to shut his floating shell and secure himself. And moreover, he enjoys these kinds of odds. After Mando refused to bet his beskar armour for the ongoing brawl inside the rung, Keresh shot the opponent he was betting against and then pointed his gun at Mando, along with three of his cronies.Īs we've learnt in The Mandalorian season 1, our protagonist doesn't like when people point things at him. The Mando needs information on other Mandalorians, to help him reunite Baby Yoda with his kind, and he had heard that Gore Keresh could provide that. Din Djarin/ the Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) and his ward Baby Yoda/ the Child - “Wherever I go, he goes,” Mando said when questioned on bringing a child to such areas - had come to see a certain one-eyed alien called Gore Keresh (voiced by John Leguizamo) at an illegal ring fight. That runtime allowed writer-director Jon Favreau - his first as director since he was busy with The Lion King during production on season 1 - to take his time with scenes, which made it all the more immersive.Ĭhapter 9: The Marshal began at night in the back streets of a dimly-lit town.
And running at 52 minutes, it was also the longest one yet. It was among its most epic, partly thanks to an eight-minute sequence that seemed to have been shot with IMAX cameras (it filled the screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio, as opposed to the usual widescreen). Baby Yoda was a spectator at the end of it, but boy, was that a thrilling opening. The Mandalorian season 2 delivered a first episode - titled Chapter 9: The Marshal - that honoured all of its roots, as a Western, fantasy, and sci-fi series.
