Are you all ready for the exciting conclusion from last week's episode?
Same.
If you aren't ready for Episode 10, "Retrieval" yet,
meet us ahead at the timestamp below.
We find Clone Force 99 still stranded
and running out of both rations and patience.
Until...
- We forgot about Gonky!
We can track Gonky.
- Ingenious idea.
- A quick search reveals that Gonky and the ship are still on the planet.
Meet Benni, a scrapper who happens to be working for a not-so-nice boss.
The Batch tracks down Benni and after some tough convincing,
the group embarks on a daring mission to get the Batch's ship back.
It's revealed that Mokko's operation is a bit of a toxic environment,
which makes it even sweeter when Benni unmasks Mokko
and the truth of his work ethics.
- You lied to us, Mokko!
The ipsium's not degrading.
You've been cutting us out and keeping the profits for yourself.
- The Batchers are back on the road and we'll join back up with them next week
in Episode 11, "Metamorphosis."
I know you're just as excited about next week's premiere of "The Mandalorian"
as we are, but maybe you have some friends
and loved ones who need a little refresher.
And for exactly those folks we present:
Where Are They Now? Din Djarin and Grogu Edition.
The Mandalorian was a rough-and-tough warrior who never removed his helmet
when he met the wee baby on Arvala-7.
Sure, he turned him over to the Client and Dr. Pershing,
but then he thought better of it.
Mando and child ran from elite assassins, bounty hunters, and the law,
taking odd jobs along the way, but eventually they ended up
back on Nevarro to help Greef Karga face the Imperial remnant and Moff Gideon.
It mostly turned okay except for...
- I must be destroyed.
- And…
Oh, and definitely...
But hey, Din and Grogu made it out alive and embarked on a new quest:
to find the Jedi.
In their travels they crossed paths with Cobb Vanth looking like Boba Fett,
Boba Fett looking for his armor,
Ahsoka Tano looking for Thrawn,
and Bo-Katan looking for a break.
Pretty sure she's still mad about losing the Darksaber.
We learned Grogu's name,
he ate some snacks and used the Force, and they lost the Razor Crest
as everything led to an epic confrontation with Gideon and his Dark Troopers.
Who ya gonna call? Luke Skywalker to the rescue.
A happy ending for everyone, right?
Mando went back to bounty hunting,
Grogu got to train to be a Jedi.
Except, Mando was miserable and banished from his Mandalorian covert
for removing his helmet to say goodbye to the baby.
I would have given him a pass, honestly.
And given the choice between returning to his Dadalorian
or continuing to make frogs float, well,
Grogu, what does your heart tell you?
So R2-D2 dropped Grogu off back with Mando,
- Oh.
Okay, little guy.
- Peli hooked them up with a sweet new ride,
and everyone helped Boba Fett take charge of Tatooine.
Just when you didn't think it could get any cuter.
Which brings us up to speed.
The adventure continues next Wednesday only on Disney+.
