Welcome back to the Outer Rim where today we close out Season 2 of the hit series, The Mandalorian by tackling our in-depth analysis of Episode 7 & 8 or in the series terminology, Chapter 15 & 16. Join us as we hit the climax of the season where Grogu is held captive by Moff Gideon and our heroes must devise a plan to locate and rescue the beloved child. First we tag along as Mando and Cara Dune spring an Imperial sharpshooter from prison (someone you may recognize from Season 1), infiltrate an Imperial base on the Planet Morak and attempt to get the coordinates of Moff Gideon's cruiser. We finish up the day with a battle on Moff Gideon's cruiser where we have an unlikely band of misfits coming together for a common purpose, a shocking revelation regarding the Darksaber and the future of the Mandalore throne, and lastly a blast from the past with a Jedi from the original Trilogy making his presence known and offering to share his knowledge, skill, and abilities with another potential Jedi. Our breakdown and analysis of The Mandalorian Season 2 comes to close today. We have a string of full circle moments and potential foreshadows, the attack of the dark troopers, a looming conflict between two Mandalorians, the resurgence of a fabled hero and the departure of a fan favorite. With Chase & Josh detailing the major events, giving their thoughts of what they saw on screen and giving predictions of where this show (and possibly others) may go from here, this is one you can't afford to miss. "May the Force be with you."
