The Mandalorian finds his old Covert and reveals he has possession of the Darksaber. However, an admission has big consequences for his future.
In the last episode of The Book of Boba Fett, Fennec Shand told Boba Fett she could hire muscle to aid in their fight against the Pyke Syndicate. You just have to know where to look. Star Wars fans were then teased on the possible source of that muscle when the theme of the Mandalorian began to play. On this episode, Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Bryce Dallas Howard, and the rest of the brain trust make good on the tease when the Mandalorian makes his series debut. This episode follows Din Djarin as he attempts to reintegrate into his covert. However, a difficult admission changes everything. Join us for this episode of Podcast Stardust as we discuss the wealth of Mandalorian culture and history divulged as Din Djarin’s adventures unfold.
In this fully armed and operational episode, we discuss:
- The Mandalorian’s fight against the Klaatooinians as he hunts down a bounty,
- The history of the Night of a Thousand Tears and The Great Purge,
- How the Darksaber fits into Mandalorian culture and The Creed,
- Din Djarin’s arrival on Mos Eisley and meeting with Peli Motto,
- The restoration of the N-1 starfighter, and
- Fennec Shand’s recruitment of the Mandalorian for Boba Fett’s cause.
