Review: Bounty Hunter Din Djarin is determined to deliver The Child to the mythical Jedi. Meanwhile, the supporters of the fallen Empire, led by Moff Gideon, are right behind him.
“Star Wars” is one of those franchises whose name has long been synonymous with major theatrical releases, but since 2019 it has also taken a step towards streaming services, with the first live-action series: “The Mandalorian”. And it is the crown jewel of Disney +.
There have been many animated series, but “The Mandalorian” is an original concept. Led by showrunner Jon Favreau. The first season turned out to be a hit with “Star Wars” fans all over the world, including myself. And it was one of the best, if not the best, series of that year. And with season 2 having its finale, it probably also is of 2020.
At the start of this season, we follow Mando and each episode contains a separate plot. But as the season continues, it becomes a more connected story that works towards a goal. The fate of The Child turns out to be more important to the “Star Wars” universe than expected.
In the first season, Mando was mostly the protector of The Child. He simply did his job. He is still the protector, but the two have formed a bond. This gives the bounty hunter even more character development. Despite the fact that we only seen him in a handful of scenes without a helmet, Pedro Pascal provides him with a lot of personality by making good use of his voice and body language. Pascal is yet again a strong asset in the series.
Season 2 contains a lot of references to the original trilogy, but also the prequels, the sequels and the animated series. This is not just for fan service, although most of it feels like it. But I don’t care, because it’s been done so well and it makes a lot of purists happy.
I think, season 2 of “The Mandalorian” gave us what we were hoping for with the last “Star Wars” movie. This movie was a big disappointment for a lot of people, including myself. And the second season of “The Mandalorian” is anything but a disappointment.
Once again, Jon Favreau and his directors take u to the crucibles of the “Star Wars” universe. “The Mandalorian” remains a series that will only appeal to “Star Wars” fans. The second season is bigger, better and more exciting. And I didn’t believe that was possible.
