Thoughts on the Mandalorian Chapter 12: The Siege
Greef Karga is back, and he’s got a grey beard, too. Cara Dune is back to as the Marshal. Even the first bounty we see Mando take from the first episode is back, though Karga isn’t too nice to him. He’s the one who’s brought along on the mission to blow up the Imperial base that doesn’t want to go.
The cantina where the shootout was from the first Season was turned into a school. I guess that’s a mark of progress.
They also managed to tie it to the sequel trilogy. Baby Yoda’s high midichlorian count blood was being used in Palpatine’s cloning experiments. I admit while that was my initial theory, I don’t like the best part of Disney Star Wars being tied to some of the worst part.
Also, I don’t envoy the scout trooper that got hit at point blank range by a double laser cannon.
It was good to see Mando’s dogfighting skills.
Cara’s response “I lost everyone” when it’s brought up that she was from Alderaan. 💔
The episode ends with a homing beacon is now on his ship, and Moff Gideon is looking to take back Baby Yoda and he’ll have an army of Shadow Troopers at his side, highly-trained elite forces with armor that had cloaking devices, making them ideal for stealth missions like potentially capturing an asset?
