119. This is the Way: The Mandalorian, Chapter 20 Discussion

This was a short episode.

Oh, of the podcast? Sure, but wow this one would have needed to be stacked with commercials to fit an hour slot. In these streaming days, well, no such trouble.

Yes, I know last week's description seems similar and that's purposeful when you consider the difference between the lengths. This episode was the shortest of the series!

I went this far before bringing up Ahmed Best. Are you proud of me? I don't think I'll ever warm to Jar Jar Binks, but the man suffered a great deal for doing the job he was hired to do. He's also a lover of Star Wars and that's always alright in my book.

If I was a betting man, I'd say we're going to see most of the remaining scenes from the season three trailer in the 5th episode of the season. If there is anything left, it might be the Carson Teva stuff. We left off on the planet with the covert, so the remaining scenes of the Mandalorians there and on Nevarro probably are next. Will we check back in with Dr. Pershing and Elia Kane? Will we get a through thread bridging seasons three and four? Will we get more nurture and admonition in the Mandalorian culture or has everyone "leveled up" enough this season? So many questions, but this kind of storytelling is why we fell in love with the show in the first place.

We have reached the halfway point of the third season and it's not all downhill from here!
