The Marshal REVIEW - Season 2 / Episode 1 - The Mandalorian
3,886My favorite episode so far. I love this damn show. Here's my review of the season 2 premier. The Mandalorian - Season 2 | Episode 1 - The Marshal.
Plot Description (SPOILERS) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapter_9:_The_Marshal
Seeking other Mandalorians to help him reunite the Child with its own kind, the Mandalorian approaches criminal Gor Koresh, who supposedly knows their whereabouts, at a ring fight. Koresh and his henchmen attempt to kill the Mandalorian and steal his Beskar armor, but the Mandalorian defeats them and interrogates Koresh, who reveals that he has heard of another Mandalorian operating on Tatooine.
Returning to Tatooine, the Mandalorian and the Child are reunited with mechanic Peli Motto. Motto reveals the location of Mos Pelgo, a town thought destroyed and shown on most maps.
The Mandalorian arrives in Mos Pelgo and finds the town's Marshal, wearing Mandalorian armor. Realizing that the Marshal is not a Mandalorian after he casually removes his helmet, the Mandalorian demands the armor from him. The stand-off is interrupted by an earthquake, which is revealed to be a krayt dragon that has been terrorizing Mos Pelgo. The Marshal agrees to return the armor in exchange for the Mandalorian helping him to rid the town of the dragon. The Marshal explains that he is Cobb Vanth, a lifelong resident of Tatooine who survived an attack from the Mining Collective on Mos Pelgo after the destruction of the second Death Star. He escaped unknowingly with a box of crystals, which he traded to his Jawa rescuers in exchange for the Mandalorian armor, before using the armor to drive off the invaders and protect the townspeople.
On the way to the dragon's cave, the two encounter Tusken Raiders, who are also hunting the dragon. With the Mandalorian acting as an interpreter, they form an alliance to kill the dragon. Realizing they would need additional forces, the Mandalorian volunteers the townsfolk to help. Despite the animosity between the groups, the Mandalorian and Vanth convince both sides to work together.
The joint forces attempt to lure the krayt dragon out of its cave and kill it with planted explosives under its belly, its only known weak spot. The plan goes awry when the dragon breaks free of the harpoons restraining it and is left unfazed by the planted explosives. Easily fending off blasterfire and harpoons, the dragon repeatedly outmaneuvers the group and spews acidic bile at them, inflicting heavy casualties. Using himself as bait, the Mandalorian provokes the dragon into swallowing both him and a bantha that was loaded with explosives. The Mandalorian then electrocutes the dragon into spitting him out and detonates the explosives inside the dragon's stomach, successfully killing it.
The Sand People begin butchering the dragon's remains, discovering a valuable pearl. A grateful Vanth returns the armor to the Mandalorian, and the two part ways as friends. Meanwhile, a heavily scarred Boba Fett, played by Temuera Morrison, watches from afar.
