The Mandalorian Season 2

 

Welcome back oh Readers of said Rotten. I thought we would take a small break from Indie Horror and Indie Action and go the franchise that many new and old fans are enjoying this particular creation of Jon Favreau (Swingers, Made, Zathura, Iron Man, Iron Man 2 and Cowboys & Aliens) as Disney carries on the galaxy far, far away.

This is The Mandalorian Season 2.

Well, this is another fine mess you have gotten us in, Mando.

 

 

 

 

 

Catching back with the Mando (Pedro Pascal of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sisters, The Good Wife, Lights Out, The Adjustment Bureau, Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe, Sweet Little Lies, Red Widow, Game of Thrones and Graceland) as he is now a clan or tribe of two. His mission is to watch over the child and bring him to his own people. To do this, he will have to find fellow Mandalorians and his best best is hitting the Outer Rim systems. With hunters chasing the Razorcrest down, plus Remnants of the Empire in full swing, the sky is getting crowded.

Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito of Miami Vice, Sweet Lorraine, School Daze, Do the Right Thing, Malcolm X, New York Undercover, Big City Blues, Homicide: Life on the Street, The $treet, Girls Club, Chupacabra Terror, South Beach, Breaking Bad and Payday 2) current commander of the former Imperial sector has need of the child as he has exhibited a high degree of natural force control. Most likely another means to an end.

Beskar's chafing my ass, Phil.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mando can't always be the lone gunfighter. He has made quite a few enemies but thankfully he also has allies.  Greef Karga (Carl Weathers of Rocky, Rocky II, Death Hunt, Fortune Dane, Predator, Action Jackson, Tour of Duty, Street Justice, In the Heat of the Night, Happy Gilmore, Assault on Devil's Island, Brothers and Magnum P.I.) running the township of Nevarro, alongside former Rebel ground trooper Cara Dune (Gina Carano of Blood and Bone, Haywire, Almost Human, In the Blood, Heist, Deadpool, Daughter of the Wolf, Mandness in the Method and The Mandalorian) With the shadow of the Empire's end and the light of the New Republic being formed, the galaxy is quite busy.

This season pushes the conventional story telling bringing in new threats, new character and reprise characters you have encountered before. Guaranteed to offer something you may have or not seen before.

 

Mon Calmari's tough on drunk spacing.

 

 

 

 

 

Following a trail of bread crumbs, Mando is trying his level best to watch over the child, contact those that could instruct the boy in the Force and handle bounties as always. Going from being a manhunter to being a guardian is a shift in his character's dynamic and he wears it well, in spite of being out of his element.

What makes this series highly enjoyable, is the simplistic writing but complex characters. Almost every facet of it feels like the proverbial Spaghetti Western. The lone gunslinger helping the helpless, facing bandits, back shooters and existing government men. All the while, it incorporates the Star Wars legacy of stories yet to come. From effects, costumes and vehicle set and planetary set designs, you cannot help but feel you have sat through a Star Wars mini-movie. Heroes, villains and everyone caught in-between, this is the Star Wars continuation that you look forward to.

As a child of the original era, I can say I have thoroughly enjoyed these two seasons and really look forward to seeing the next adventures to come. 

 

I'm still adorable, right?
