“The Rescue” gives “Star Wars” fans everything they could have hoped for, but somehow that ends up being slightly disappointing to the show’s mythos. Spoilers abound in what’s coming – if you haven’t watched the episode, you really should do so now. And also, how are you not already spoiled. Now shoo! There’s a review […]

“The Believer” is a difficult-to-like episode of “Star Wars: The Mandalorian.” It doesn’t offer the series much in the plot, which is pretty frustrating as it’s the penultimate story of this year.

Hopefully, the producers will reward your patience as they did last year.

‘Star Wars: The Mandalorian – The Reckoning‘ takes the disparate elements of the show and starts to weave them together. My chief complaint this season, albeit a minor one, was that there wasn’t continuity between the episodes. I knew that eventually, things introduced one week would show back up later in the season.
