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 23: “The Spies”
“The Spies” (The Mandalorian, Chapter 23) presents a real good news/bad news situation for the Mandalorians.
The good news: Mandalore is habitable! The tribes have united! There are only a few terrible megafauna left to terrorize the planet!
The bad news: The Imperial remnants have formed a Shadow Council following up on allllllll of their predecessors’ special interests, and Moff Gideon is angling to be their boss.
The Mandalorian Season 2 Finale: “The Rescue”
The Season 2 finale of The Mandalorian (Chapter 16, “The Rescue”) sweeps to a stunning conclusion. Prepare to weep.
The Mandalorian, Chapter 15: “The Believer”
What line would you cross, and why? In this week’s episode, “The Believer” (The Mandalorian Chapter 15), we go deep into that question—plumbing the depths of honor, extremism, and vengeance.
The Mandalorian, Chapter 14: “The Tragedy”
The tragedies of “The Tragedy” (The Mandalorian Chapter 14) are as follows: The Child is stolen. The Razor Crest is disintegrated. Boba Fett only gets to shatter the helmets of, like, 15 Stormtroopers, when we would rather watch it all day.
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 11: “The Heiress”
In this week’s episode, “The Heiress” (The Mandalorian, Chapter 11) we tell the entire bloody tale of Mandalorian history: Tracing the Darksaber’s path through Mandalorian society, tracing Bo-Katan’s journey from radical to royal, and asking how Din Djarin ended up in a religious extremist splinter cell.
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.
