Summary
Join Children of the Watch as we finish up Season 1 of our Mandalorian Rewatch! This week, we're looking at Chapter Eight: Redemption of The Mandalorian. In preparation for the next Star Wars film, The Mandalorian & Grogu, we're going back through The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, The Book of Boba Fett, and The Mandalorian itself to break down all of the easter eggs, connections, and hints about what could be coming in the movie!
We begin this episode by covering the news that Ahsoka Season 2 has wrapped production! We talk about Bryce Dallas Howard's comments on the season, possible ships and cameos from the linkes of Ezra, Sabine, Anakin, and maybe even Padme, as well as what we're most looking forward to about this season.
Then, we cover the amazing finale of The Mandalorian Season 1. How exactly did Moff Gideon come into possession of the Darksaber? Is IG-11 the best Star Wars droid there is? How cool was it to finally see Pedro under the mask?
Next time, we begin Season 2!
