Star Wars: The Bad Batch – Metamorphosis

  • Title: Star Wars: The Bad Batch – Metamorphosis
  • wiki: link

It’s always weird to watch any Star Wars property try their hand at horror which was, at the very most, a minimal part of the original movie trilogy in something like the Sarlaac Pit (which still had a comic slant). The concept provided one of weakest episodes of Star Wars Rebels in “The Mystery of Chopper Base” and doesn’t fair much better here when the squad chases a monster around a crashed ship and woods for most of “Metamorphosis.” The concept is also a bit baffling as apparently Emperor Palpatine wasn’t going to use cloning technology to bring him back from the dead (which he does in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker) but to make giant energy-sucking monsters. Um… okay? Not sure what this is going, but the Imperial B-story does set the Empire back to looking for Omega (Michelle Ang),

The Mandalorian – The Apostate

  • Title: The Mandalorian – Chapter 17: The Apostate

Catching up viewers since the end of the last season, and events which occurred on Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett, the Third Season premiere of The Mandalorian jumps around a bit bringing back several characters for more fan service purposes than plot and eventually sends our Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu to Mandalore. Before getting there, however, our travelers will stop by the Mandalorian cult he dishonored by removing his helmet, and seemed to outgrow only to pulled back in, fore the sole purpose of reiterated plot points already discussed on The Book of Boba Fett. We then get another return and an odd request of on Nevarro involving a completely disabled murder droid (in a side quest that then appears to be completely abandoned as the Mandalorian forgets about search for a part and simply continues on to Mandalore).

The second episode of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur gets literal when, after earning praise from everyone else in the neighborhood, Moon Girl (Diamond White) becomes obsessed with a troll’s negative comments online eventually tracking them back to an actual troll who she’s unintentionally being feeding with her attention nearly bringing down a bridge. There’s a nice, if pretty blatant, message about how to deal with negativity online in “The Borough Bully” as Moon Girl eventually sees the error of her ways and disarms the troll by no longer engaging in his negativity.
