The Mandalorian - The Heiress television review

“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.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars - On the Wings of Keeradaks television review

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.

Oh, then there’s the race from a swarm of deadly spider monsters.
