They come across two Imperial technicians (wearing the same Clone Army Project emblem patch as Dr. There's also wonderful throwaway remark by the Mythrol about there being no handrails, a health and safety issue that fans have commented on for decades. The controls to the cooling lines are an obvious nod to the tractor beam controls that Obi Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness) must deactivate aboard the Death Star in "A New Hope" and with these shut down, only a matter of minutes remain before the base begins to self destruct. It seems a member of the production crew accidently made into the assault on the Imperial base.

They carefully creep through the complex, passing an impressive array of Imperial hardware along the way, including speeder bikes and a mint condition Trexler Marauder, suggesting there may be more than a skeleton staff here. The other three ride the elevator up and join Djarin at the top, but he's expressing concern over their plan as he's already had to blast more Imperial troops than he was probably expecting. Imperial Stormtroopers are, to all intents and purposes, cannon fodder and can be used very easily to satisfy the slightly twisted side in all of us that enjoys seeing them meet their end in extremely unfortunate ways. Unable to open the access door at the cavern base, Djarin flies up to the overhanging landing pad situated at the top of the cavern and opens the door from there.

Using the Mythrol's landspeeder, they approach the base from the bottom of the cavern that it sits atop of. It seems there's a sizable Imperial base on the other side of the planet and despite supposedly having only a skeleton staff, if they can destroy this, then the Imperial presence on Nevarro will be gone forever. Karga asks the Mandalorian for his help while he waits for his ship to be repaired.

There's no denying it, this is hilarious and clearly the makers of "The Mandalorian" are having fun with it too. ( NASA even launched into space this week!)

Having a plausible story arc counts for a lot and of course and from a more mercenary, merchandising perspective, Disney has struck gold with Baby Yoda.
#SHIFTY LOOKING DARK MOON PLUS#
The second season of the Disney Plus (opens in new tab) "Star Wars" series has established itself, found its feet and is providing us with some thoroughly entertaining, up-beat sci-fi, without having its primary character blubbering in Every Single Episode. We're all feeling a little stressed and a little sad, especially since the Thanksgiving holiday will be a somewhat subdued affair and " The Mandalorian" is exactly what should be prescribed to beat any burgeoning case of the blues. What everyone needs right now is a little escapism.
