The Mandalorian Season 3 Episode 6 begins off with a weird love story solely so viewers will know the fleet that Bo-Katan cut up methods with has returned. They’ve been employed by a Mon Calamari Viceroy to retrieve their son. It seems he’s in love with a Quarren captain, however there isn’t a different selection than to half methods when The Mandalorians present up.
This scene reveals simply how ruthless they’re. They’re prepared to separate up the younger lovers for a little bit of coin. We additionally be taught right here that the fleet is now below the command of Axe Woves (Simon Kassianides) and Sasha Banks is again as Koska Reeves.
Within the earlier episode, The Armorer tasked Bo-Katan with bringing all of The Mandalorians collectively in order that they might retake Mandalore. She tracks her former fleet to Plazir-15 which describes itself as “the Outer Rim’s solely remaining direct democracy.”
Cameos Galore
Din Djarin, Bo-Katan Kryze, and Grogu are instantly guided into the domed metropolis after they attain Plazir-15 as a substitute of being allowed to speak with Axe. They’re greeted by the rulers of town, former Imperial Officer Captain Bombardier (Jack Black) and the Duchess (Lizzo). They appear to be having a droid downside as a number of reprogrammed battle droids are “malfunctioning” and attacking residents. The 2 promise to let Din and Bo-Katan communicate with their employed mercenaries in the event that they resolve the issue for them.
Why does it relaxation on the shoulders of Din and Bo-Katan? As a result of no weapons are allowed within the dome until for non secular causes, which is why The Mandalorians have been capable of keep armed after they arrived. Grogu stays with Lizzo whereas they head out into town to find why the droids are performing this fashion.
As soon as Din and Bo-Katan attain the safety workplace, they’re created by Commissioner Helgait (Christopher Lloyd) who reveals them footage of the droids malfunctioning. He additionally explains that the residents of Plazir-15 can be misplaced with out the usage of the droids, so shutting them down just isn’t an possibility. One other means should be found.
Fixing The Droid Downside
The following step is to go to the Ugnaughts beneath town. They’re those that work on the droids. They actually don’t wish to communicate with Din and Bo-Katan at first, however as soon as he mentions he’s a good friend of Kuill’s and provides within the traditional “I’ve spoken,” they inform him the place they assume the following situation will come up. How they know which droid is subsequent to go rogue with out being those that orchestrated all that is past me, however right here we’re.
On the docks the place the Ugnaughts pointed Din and Bo-Katan, Din begins kicking the droids. Sure, kicking them. All of that is in an effort to set one off and show that they haven’t been utterly reprogrammed. Followers know that he has by no means trusted droids and this can be a level he retains making in episode six.
Ultimately, certainly one of them will get mad from being kicked (who would have thought) and chases them down. Bo-Katan shoots him after he makes fairly a large number within the metropolis, and so they discover a spark pad with the identify of a droid bar, The Resistor, on it. As soon as there the droids provide to assist the Mandalorians as a result of they’re afraid they are going to be changed if this retains up. After trying via the Nepenthé, the lubricant the droids on the bar are served, they uncover all the droids who flipped out drank from the identical batch.
On to the health worker’s workplace and it’s found that this explicit batch was contaminated with nanobots that modified this system of the droids who drank it, reverting them again to their unique protocols. However who might be behind such a factor? Christopher Lloyd after all! Doc?!?
As soon as confronted he explains that he’s a Separatist loyalist who thinks Depend Dooku was a visionary and left them too quickly. Din and Bo-Katan deliver him again to Lizzo and Jack Black, who banish him and provides the important thing to town to the Mandalorians. Lizzo additionally knights Grogu.
The Passing Of The Saber
Bo-Katan and Din arrive on the Mandalorian fleet the place she challenges Axe for management. She kicks his butt fairly shortly, nonetheless he factors out that per their guidelines, solely the one that controls the Darksaber could be the chief.
Din fingers her the saber and factors out that she defeated the one who defeated him (earlier this season on Mandalore). The Mandalorians appear to just accept this after which the episode ends.
General Ideas
This episode of The Mandalorian takes viewers on an odd, but enjoyable, aspect journey. Whereas it’s good to see some acquainted faces as cameos, there was no want for this little quest to take so long as it did. It was humorous and foolish, however it’s secure to say nobody will neglect watching Din kick droids till he might make one activate him.
Now that Bo-Katan has possession of the Darksaber once more, and management of the Mandalorian fleet, maybe the ultimate two episodes might be spent on the primary storyline with them making an attempt to regain management of Mandalore.
The Mandalorian season 3 episode 6 is now streaming on Disney+.
