Summary
Join Children of the Watch for another installment of the Mandalorian Rewatch! This week, we're diving deep into The Mandalorian Chapter 12: The Siege, which has some of the largest lore connections between the Mandalorian and the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. 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.
RIP Carl Weathers, thanks for leaving so many delightful characters for us to enjoy.
What is Project Necromancer and how does it connect to Grogu? Are the creatures we see in the vats during this episode prototype Snoke bodies? Who are the volunteers the Empire is experimenting on? All this and more!
Next week, we continue on to Chapter 13!
