The sixth chapter of The Mandalorian season 3 hits the brakes too late into the game and gets to a crucial plot point in a frustrating and mostly dull manner.
Things immediately feel off as we’re thrown right into a prologue centered on Quarren travelers who are stopped by an Imperial cruiser captained by one’s former companions: Axe Woves . Also by his side is the trusty Koska Reeves , who had been rumored to be part of season 3 for a while as well. They’re now privateers, working for anyone who pays handsomely.
Honestly, we’re well accustomed to Star Wars animation taking some time off to play with all kinds of genres and honor famous literary works, but a big difference between The Clone Wars and The Mandalorian is that the latter only has eight episodes to tell an entire story arc each season, so side quests typically have to offer some degree of progression. And so far, Jon Favreau’s scripts had managed to do that just fine.
All things considered, Black landed a pretty cool part that totally feels tailor-made for him. He’s extravagant and pompous in a Thor: Ragnarok kind of way , and the surrounding hi-tech but lavish environment looks and feels the same. Plazir-15’s society, however, has only been able to execute its plans for a stress-free paradise by abusing the machines, among which there are many leftover Separatist battle droids. The investigation is largely by-the-numbers, bartender interrogation and morgue visit included. And at the end of it all, any and all questions about the ethics of what’s being done to sustain Plazir-15 are brushed aside. What mostly feels like a classic Star Trek episode doesn’t offer any food for thought. Weird.
