The Mandalorian – The Heiress
- Title: The Mandalorian – The Heiress (Chapter 11)
- wiki: link
“The Heiress” introduces our Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) to other Mandalorians who have made appearances on both Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. To do this, the show is forced to reconcile one of the largest continuity errors between it and every other version of Star Wars that has ever existed outside of The Mandalorian. This, of course, being the idea that “real” Mandalorians don’t remove their helmets in the presence of others. The episode’s workaround feels a bit half-assed, but does the necessary work to introduce the idea that our Mandalorian was raised by a cult of fanatics who instilled in him some hardline beliefs others, like those born on Mandalore, don’t follow. This allows the show to reintroduce characters with a far different take on “the way” once the battered Razor Crest touches down on Trask.

Operation Christmas Drop
- Title: Operation Christmas Drop
- IMDb: link
Operation Christmas Drop is your typical schmaltzy holiday fare featuring a character rediscovering the meaning of Christmas. In this case, our leading lady is Kat Graham starring as workaholic Congressional aide Erica who is sent halfway around the world on Christmas by a Grinch of Senator (Virginia Madsen) to find reasons to shut down a military base that dares spread goodwill during the holidays. I half expected Madsen to start looking for Dalmatians to skin as the script by Gregg Rossen and Brian Sawyer requires so many one-note characters to force the plot along.
The military operation that gives the film its title, where U.S. Forces drop crates of humanitarian aid across several isolated islands, has been going strong since 1952 providing the backdrop of the base in Guam and the reason for Erica to be in tropical paradise at Christmas. Alexander Ludwig plays the goodhearted pilot who lives for Christmas and helps the base make the most of the occasion. He’s even able to help rekindle a bit of Christmas spirit within Erica despite the entire reason for her arrival being to deliver a report justifying the base’s closure.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars – On the Wings of Keeradaks
- Title: Star Wars: The Clone Wars – On the Wings of Keeradaks
- wiki: link
After completing their mission and rescuing Echo (Dee Bradley Baker), “On the Wings of Keeradaks” focuses on Anakin (Matt Lanter) and the Clones getting out of the Techno Union facility alive, getting back to the Poletec village, and then fighting off the Techno Union’s attempts to reacquire Echo. The episode is noticeably shorter than either of the two previous episodes, but once the escape from the facility begins the action moves a a good clip through the end of the episode. The Bad Batch continue to prove their work, and the Poletecs turn out to be strong allies against the Techno Union.

Red Sonja #21
- Title: Red Sonja #21
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Mark Russell
- Artist: Alessandro Miracolo
Red Sonja continues to make her presence known in Shadizar as the cloaked figure stalks the streets killing all the guards the child king Cyril, son of Dragan the Magnificient, sends after her. Hoping to whittle away his forces and make him commit more to the city leaving the palace vulnerable, eventually Sonja turns her attention to the the city’s King.
Red Sonja #21 works as a dance between Sonja and Cyril, both plotting their opponent’s demise. Cyril’s use of his decapitated oracles comes in to play once more, giving the tyrant king more understanding about what Sonja is planning. We also see more examples of Cyril’s ruthless style of ruling once he learns of the scarcity of men willing to hit the streets and do battle against the She-Devil with a Sword.
