The Mandalorian — Series 2 Episode 3 — Chapter 11 The Heiress — A Review

20th February, 2021.

Yes: it’s another post about The Mandalorian.

Why?

Because I happen to like the series!

As ever, though?

It’s a post I’m starting tonight, on Saturday, 20th February: so I can, at least, get an early night.

Frankly, I’ve just started re-reading Killing for Company: and want to get another chapter finished!

I’ll catch you tomorrow.

Episode 3 - Chapter 11 — The Heiress — opens with a brief flashback to The Mandalorian’s first season, and reminds us that a Mandalorian never uncovers their face.

Then moves on: reminding us of last week’s episode, of how the Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) has been hired to take the Frog Lady to a Moon called Trask.

Her husband?   Directs out hero to a local inn: where the Mandalorian finds a group of Quarren fishermen, seemingly happy to help.

It’s only when those trawler men try drowning the Mandalorian that helps arrives: in the shape of Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff*) and her team.

A group of very unconventional Mandalorians: unconventional enough to take their helmets off.

A group who know exactly where to find the Jedi the Mandalorian’s after, but need a little help in return.

It seems Bo-Katan is after something.

And their kinsman is just the type to help …

Now … ?

First things first, was this another good episode?

Possibly.

I don’t know that The Heiress is a stunner of an episode: but, like the previous episodes, it is extremely well made.

And it’s moved the story forward, introduced many of us to the Katee Sackhoff character, Bo-Katan.   Who’s long been a feature of some of some of the animated spins offs: and, I suspect, will be making a return, at some point.

And?

Given us a hint of exactly what’s to come.

Frankly?

I’ll be watching another episode next Saturday: the 27th of February.

I’ll have my written, and video, review up on 28th February.

I’d love it if you joined me.

See you next week!

*        I last saw Katie Sackhoff in the turn of the century reboot of Battlestar Galactica: playing the updated version of Starbuck.   Starbuck’s an ace pilot collection of cigar smoking bad habits marinated in alcohol.   That’s possibly sounds familiar, now I think of it …
