Mando is just playing a Star Wars RPG. Complete sidequests. Get new ship. Get a player house. Eventually get around to completing some of the main story," GardenSquid1 wrote. The reappearance of the hero and his cuddly green pal caps off an opening sequence that adds to the show’s long run of exhilarating action sequences with impressive monsters: some Mandalorians are enjoying a lakeside coming-of-age ceremony, but just as a boy is fitted with the armoured helmet that signifies he is now an adult, a gargantuan crocodile-like creature emerges from the water and starts eating the congregation. When all looks lost, Din Djarin zooms in and blasts the thing’s guts out. Selected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge. The Mandalorian is also happy to play around with the eccentricities of Star Wars itself. Still on Nevarro, Mando employs some Anzellans, a race of 4in-high mechanics, to attempt to fix his obliterated old droid friend IG-11. Amid the warm creature cuteness of the Anzellans and Grogu’s attempt to hug them (“No, Grogu! Not a pet!”), a neat gag develops about the miraculous ability Star Wars characters have to converse with aliens: the advice of chief grease monkey Babu Frik, who provided comic relief in 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker when resistance fighters struggled to understand him, morphs from impenetrable gabble to broken English, which the officious Karga keeps translating long after an irritated Mando has learned to understand it. The Mandalorian has often been compared to a video game, as Mando is sent on open world-like sidequests throughout the series.

This is my favourite shot! Ever since that episode in the first season when Din Djarin contemplated leaving Grogu in that water village and walking away, I just wanted them to have a chill life together," Responsible_Cloud_92 wrote.
