Best of Growing Up Skywalker
The Mandalorian Season 3 Finale: “The Return”
The action-packed conclusion to The Mandalorian brings laughs, drama, and really closes the loop on the themes of the whole series. We compare two big bads of the empire, Moff Gideon and Grand Admiral Thrawn; and worry about how we still don't know where Big Blue is (or what nefariousness he's up to). We also talk about the future of Mandalore as defined by its past and by its potential.
The Mandalorian, Chapter 21: “The Pirate”
How much does independence from the New Republic matter to you when you’re being shelled by sentient algae pirate king Gorian Shard? That’s the question Greef Karga and all of Nevarro have to answer this week in The Mandalorian, Chapter 21: “The Pirate.”
The Mandalorian Season 3 Premiere: “The Apostate”
The Mandalorian’s third series opens with “The Apostate,” and a tempting array of side quests: Spelunking into the Mines of Mandalore, rebuilding IG-11, rejoining the Children of the Watch, and actively parenting Grogu. What will Mando choose?
The Mandalorian, Chapter 12: “The Siege”
Is it a siege, or more of an infiltration? Regardless, The Mandalorian’s Chapter 12, “The Siege,” brings us back to Nevarro—and a plotline we thought maybe we’d seen the end of.
The Mandalorian Chapter 8: Redemption
In our recap of “Redemption” (The Mandalorian Season 1, Chapter 8), we wrestle with questions of honor, if it matters, and why it’s so important to try. We also cover the chain of ownership of darksaber (and question why Lando doesn’t have it??), the importance of the Child, and the role of Moff Gideon in the somehow still-functioning Empire (???).
The Mandalorian Chapter 7: The Reckoning
In “The Reckoning” (The Mandalorian, Chapter 7), we explore the governance (and lack thereof) of the New Republic, the rise of fascism in a post-Endor era, and what the Empire looks like in ABY 9. We also pay an homage to Kuiil—the original Bae, and one of the reasons for the start of Growing Up Skywalker—by exploring the concept of honor.
The Mandalorian Chapter 3: The Sin
This week, we dive deep into the Mandalorian’s crisis of ethics, starting with the Bounty Hunter Guild Code and ending with his loyalty to the Mandalorian Creed. We also dig into thoughts on currency, value, and compensation; showdowns on the street; and whether or not we got an Embo cameo.
The Mandalorian Season 1 Premiere: The Mandalorian
On the show this week, we’re recapping the premiere of the shot heard ’round the world in the form of the first Star Wars live-action TV show, “The Mandalorian.”
We talk through justice in the Era of the New Republic, the mishmash of ancient legend + spaghetti Western + samurai story + space opera, and the reason we created our fan-favorite segment, Bae Watch. (Spoiler alert: It’s Kuiil. It’s always been Kuiil.)
