Summary
Join Children of the Watch as we begin the main portion of our Mandalorian Rewatch! We're finally diving in to the premiere episode 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!
This week, it's Season 1, Chapter 1: The Mandalorian. What a homecoming for our podcast to revisit this debut episode of Star Wars Television! We get caught up with a lot of our favorite characters like Din Djarin, The Armorer, Greef Karga, The Client, and Baby Yoda himself, Grogu. We discuss potential internal power struggles between Moff Gideon and Werner Herzog's Client character, just how much we miss the amazing Kuill, and how we think the upcoming Mandalorian & Grogu film will be a return to the format we see exhibited in this pilot.
Next week, we continue on to The Mandalorian Chapter 2!
