The Mandalorian Season 2 Episode 7 Breakdown

Karthon chop fields as we see prison inmates serving time by dissasembling imperial machines, namely, tie fighters, as we even see ATAT’s repurposed in the background as cranes. As the droid walks up to Mayfeld, he tells him to salute Marshall dune, where she remands him in her custody. As they walk around the corner, they meet up with the crew, as we see the beautiful Slave 1, and of course Boba Fett, who repainted his rusted up armour. I like the look, it looks like he’s going for some batman matte green vibes. I love it. As they head to Morak, Boba tells us that Morak is mining Rhydonium Mando and Mayfeld get in the trooper suits, as we all know, he can’t show his face as part of his creed from death watch. Now Death Watch changed their rules after order 66 to reserve their identity and numbers, since the empire were against them, that’s my theory at least, until we know more for sure. As Mando and Mayfeld head inside to stormtroopers celebrating, they head for a terminal. Fennec and Cara stand guard outside, aim down their sights. As Mando and Mayfeld sith for drinks with the commander for drinks, Mayfeld says they should toast to operation cinder. Now operation cinder is a reference to when we learned about that during battlefront 2 campaign. Operation cinder was part of palpatine’s contingency plan to be carried out should he ever die. It was essentially that the empire’s enemies shouldn’t survive if he didn’t. So they set up massive satellites above planets and fired red lasers to mess around with the planet’s weather, basically causing Mother Nature on every planet to go absolutely insane and destroy itself in a blaze of fire and storm. Valin Hess says wow you know your history, when he says he was there during burnin konn, which was one of the planets they executed operation cinder upon. The people who died were around 5-10000, including many imperial troops. Valin Hess approved operation cinder on the planet, and you can tell Mayfeld is hit with some PTSD. Bill Burr at this point is giving an incredible performance man I gotta say, they guy did his homework for sure. As Valin Hess defends his actions of murder, he talks about how he made decisions to be where they are today, and the rhydonium that they just delivered, will make burnin konn look like nothing. To the empire, Hess says as he raises his glass, only to be blasted in the chest by Mayfeld a second later. The two shoot their way out of there, heading onto the ledge as Cara and Fennec offer sniper support ontop of the hill. Boba flies in and the boys head up to the ship as they leap into it while blasting troopers all around them. Mayfeld snipes the rhydonium far away and blows up the whole compound. As Boba escapes, two tie-fighters head straight for him, when he releases a seismic charge, which is the best sound in Star Wars. Shout out to all my prequelers who saw episode 2 in the theatre where we all lost some hearing when Jango dropped a couple of those on Kenobi in the asteroid field. Like music to my audio receptors. They meet up with fennec and cara, as they let Mayfeld go for a job well done. Claiming he died in the base’s destruction. Mayfeld probably gets off the planet somehow, and maybe we’ll see him again someday. Thank you for listening to today's episode. I hope you have a great day, and I'll catch you in the next one! May the force be with you, ALWAYS!Mando tells Cara he has the coordinates for Moff Gideon, and the slave one blasts off with that beautiful iconic blast off into the sky. We enter moff Gideon’s light cruiser as his officer informs him of a message and pops Mando’s hologram up on the desk. Mando recites the exact same lines Moff Gideon tells him in Season 1 episode 7, the same episode number as this one. Mof Gideon, you have something I want. You may think you have some idea of what you’re in possession of. But you do not. Soon, he will be back with me. He means more to me than you will ever know. Learn more about your ad choices.
