About this listen

We did it! We finished The Mandalorian! Not just the finale, but the first and second epilogue too!

The action-packed conclusion to The Mandalorian brought laughs, drama, and really closed the loop on the themes of the whole series. We compare two big bads of the empire, Moff Gideon and Grand Admiral Thrawn; and worry about how we still don't know where Big Blue is (or what nefariousness he's up to). We also talk about the future of Mandalore as defined by its past and by its potential.

Next week, our Ahsoka coverage begins with Ahsoka Part 1: Master and Apprentice.
