The Mandalorian Season 2, Episode 6 has finally been released on Disney+,
and it really was a truly awesome awesome episode to begin the final arc of the season.
So, I'm going to breakdown everything that went down in the episode, and how it connects to the other Star Wars TV series and Films.
Before we get into it, make sure to slice the subscribe button with your Darksaber for more awesome Mandalorian season 2 Content.
We begin right off in the cockpit of the Razorcrest, with Mando attempting to do the same training
with Grogu, as he tried with Ahsoka on Corvus.
Grogu is able to use the force to take the knob from Mando, but they very quickly arrive
on Tython, in the Deep Core of the Galaxy.
I’m not really sure how the Razorcrest was able to get through the intense storms and
dangers of the deep core, but they did make it to the surface.
Also make sure to check to the description after you finish the video for a full history
of Tython and it’s connection to the Origins of the Jedi order.
Once there, they very quickly arrive right at the seeing Stone that Ahsoka Mentioned
in the last episode, and Mando places Grogu directly in the centre of it.
He does quickly get frustrated when not much is happening, but moments later, he hears
some static on his comms unit, before we get the reveal of the Man himself, Boba Fett arriving
in his incredible ship, Slave I.
For those of you who don’t know Slave I was actually obtained by Jango Fett as Prison
Patrol and attack craft from the prison moon of Oovo IV, in the far reaches of the Galaxy.
After seeing Slave I enter the atmosphere with Boba inside, Mando urges the Child to
get off the seeing stone so they can leave, but before he can grab him, a mystical force
barrier is created, launching Mando away from the seeing stone.
Mando has absolutely no idea what is going on, but he doesn’t have much time to think
about it, as Boba Fett exits Slave I and confronts Mando, demanding that he return the armor
he got from Cobb Vanth in Episode 1.
Mando then does his typical thing, asking if Boba is a real Mandalorian and Boba gives
the most awesome response possible saying, “I’m a simple man making his way through
the Galaxy”, obviously a reference to his Father, Jango Fett’s line in Attack of the
Clones.
Following this, we find out the pretty predictable twist, that Fennec Shand actually survived
in that Cliffhanger last season, and the mysterious man who saved her was actually Boba Fett.
Because of this, Fennec Shand is now in Debt to Boba and works alongside him.
We also finally learn in Canon that Boba’s armor was given to him by Jango Fett
All boba really wants is his armor back, but this dream can’t be fulfilled just yet,
as the tracker placed on the Razorcrest by the Mimbanese engineer back on Nevarro is
finally used, with Imperial forces very rapidly arriving on Tython, setting up a three way
stand-off between Boba and Fennec, Mando and of course, Moff Gideon.
In a panic, Mando once again tries to take Grogu from the seeing stone, but the force
will not allow him to, flinging him backwards, impacting the hard, rocky ground.
As the Imperial stormtroopers begin rushing out of their landing ship, Boba and Fennec
begin firing on them, and awesomely, Boba is using the Cycler rifle, which he likely
took from a Tusken Raider.
He then also uses the Tusken Gaderffii stick, really showing just how accustomed he has
become to living on Tatooine, and learning how to use the Tusken weaponry.
As the vicious battle continues, the stormtroopers pull out an E-Webb heavy repeated, which we
of course saw in the first season, but it was first seen in the Empire Strikes back,
as well as being used in the Night of a Thousand tears, according to Moff Gideon.
With the fierce onslaught of Stormtroopers continuing to attack Boba and Fennec, Boba
flies into a rage, brutally killing them by crushing their faces, and piercing them directly
through the heart.
As gruesome as this is, you have to love seeing Boba be this awesome.
After he kills a few more stormtroopers, he very quickly gets a view of the Razorcrest,
where he spots his beloved armor inside.
Mando then tries again to pull Grogu from the seeing stone, but fails once more, before
rushing out of the area, and teaming up with Fennec Shand.
The two make quick work of the stormtroopers, and then out of nowhere, Boba Fett flies onto
the scene with his own Mandalorian armor, absolutely decimating every stormtrooper he
sees.
After this, we get an absolutely incredible shot, where Boba lowers his rangefinder, before
targeting his rocket directly at one of the imperial ships trying to escape, completing
obliterating it and causing it to destroy the other escaping ship.
Honestly, I’m so happy that Boba is back in action.
Following this however, the Razorcrest is completely obliterated by a single shot from
above, sending it into a huge red fireball, and destroying everything inside.
Following this, something absolutely incredible happens, Moff Gideon deploys the Darktroopers
that we saw him preparing on Nevarro, and they jet in straight out of his Arquitens-class
cruiser, just like Mandalorians, and land in a circular formation, around the child.
For those of you who don’t known what dark troopers are, I have a full explainer on them
here linked in the pinned comment below, but they were basically advanced battle droids,
which were equipped with powerful exoskeletons, weapons and jump packs, intended to the replace
the Empire’s stormtroopers during the time of Palpatine’s reign.
They were designed by General Rohm Mohc, an imperial who was obsessed with martial arts
and hand to hand combat, and were first seen in the Star Wars: Dark Forces game.
Unfortunately, the Dark Trooper forces are easily able to Capture Grogu, taking jetting
off with him in hand, back to Gideon’s ship.
Immediately following this, Boba boards Slave I in his awesome armor, chasing down Grogu
in hopes of taking him back for Din Djarin.
While in pursuit of Gideon’s ship, Boba is shocked to see that the empire is back,
believing that the Outer Rim was fully controlled by the New Republic.
He also makes a comment about this not being a spice dream, almost implying that Boba has
been hitting the spice in his time on Tatooine.
Following this, the Mando is distraught with the loss of the child, and they only thing
he is able to recover is the Beskar spear which was given to him by Ahsoka in the last
episode.
Boba then shows Mando his chaincode, and talks about his Father having fought in the Mandalorian
Civil wars, which we of course saw in the Jango Fett: Open Seasons comics.
He also goes even further to confirm that Jango Fett was actually a Mandalorian foundling
in Canon, finally putting that debate to rest, once and for all.
After this, Boba pledges to mando that he is in his debt until the child is safely returned,
because of their agreement to trade the armor, for the Safety of the Child.
Immediately after, Mando races off back to Nevarro, where we learn that Cara Dune has
finally gone legit, and become a Marshall of the new Republic.
Because of her new abilities to access the New Republic military and criminal records,
Mando asks that she track down Mayfeld, who was of course from the Prison break episode
last season.
She hands over the data, despite having many more rules and regulations now that she’s
official, but we soon cut straight to Gideon’s ship.
Grogu is placed inside of a holding cell, where he hilarious being ragdolling his stormtrooper
guards around like toys, flailing them around with the force.
Grogu of course gets tired after using the force like always, but soon after, Moff Gideon
walks up to him, and ignites the Darksaber near him, with a mixture of teasing and threatening.
For those of you who don’t know, the Darksaber is a unique type of lightsaber which was crafted
by the first and only Mandalorian Jedi, Tarre Vizsla during the time of the old Republic.
After his death, the weapon was stolen from the Jedi temple Vault on Coruscant, where
it eventually went down the line through to Pre Vizsla, Darth Maul all the way through
to Bo-Katan and then Moff Gideon.
If you want to know every holder of the Darksaber, make sure you check out the description and
card on screen now.
After this, Moff Gideon orders his officers to inform Doctor Pershing that their donor
has arrived, and Grogu is horribly stunned with a blaster, before being cuffed with tiny
holo-cuffs.
This confirms who the donor was from the Nevarro episode earlier in the season, confirming
the terrifying thought that we already knew.
Also, I don’t know if it was just me, but it almost looked like Moff Gideon was able
to resist Grogu’s force pull on the Darksaber, but more than just through physical strength,
maybe this confirmed that he was force sensitive.
I’m not sure, but let me know down below.
So that is my full breakdown of the Mandalorian Season 2 Episode 6 Chapter 14.
