Since it doesn’t feel as if the squad is ready to hang up their blasters permanently, “Pabu” feels darkly foreboding. The episode’s title comes from the hidden colony of refugees Phee Genoa (Wanda Sykes) leads the Bad Batch to after a successful job. While the retreat offers a respite from recent events, and a young friend for Omega (Michelle Ang), it’s far from dull as the squad comes together to help save the locals from a natural disaster before deciding to stay and help the community rebuild (possibly staying just long enough for their troubles to follow them to Pabu?).

The Imperial Scientist – The Convert

  • Title: The Mandalorian – Chapter 19: The Convert
  • wiki: link

While there is a Mandalorian story that opens and closes the episode, the vast majority of “The Convert” takes place far, far away from our main characters and their adventures. As with Andor, the show turns its attention instead to Coruscant. In this case the storyline involves former Imperial soldiers and scientists granted amnesty being slowly reintegrated into the New Republic. Our main focus is Penn Pershing (Omid Abtahi), a character’s name I had to look up and still won’t remember, who was getting on all hunky dory with his new life, despite his less than prestigious new job, until another Imperial agent, now with the New Republic, started fucking with him.
