Abrams' take on the galaxy far, far away. Rebel? Empire? Sith? There's no more information about what might be in store for him in J.J. That led to his scoring the part of Shane in Transformers: Age Of Extinction, the start of a new trilogy in which Reynor is contracted for all three instalments. Reynor is is the Irish actor who supplied an impressive lead in 2012's What Richard Did, and caught the eye of Michael Bay in the process. AICN's Harry Knowles says he's heard from "two different sources" that Jack Reynor is now in the frame for an unspecified role. Everyone’s in serious peril, including a captured Din, which is obviously a great way to head into a season finale.Here's one more name for the rumoured cast of **Star Wars: Episode VII. Gideon’s got the Mandalorians firmly under his boot now, and there’s some white-hot heat between him and Bo-Katan that’s definitely going to blow up sooner rather than later. Gideon snarling as he says “Mandalore will live on in me” is a gloriously despicable low-blow of a line, and Esposito delivers it like only he can. From the violent crossfire in the TIE hangar to the phenomenal corridor shootout, every bit of this is over-the-top, epic action at its finest. The showdown between the Mandalorians and the Beskar-armored Dark Troopers in the Great Forge is a worthy main event for what has so far been an excellent episode of television. With IG-12, he can now better help in battle, but more intriguingly, he has a new way to exert his empathy, which Din admits to Bo-Katan is completely innate. Or at the very least, it comes from Grogu’s time with the Jedi. The bro fight between Paz and Axe Woves on the ship is only mildly amusing, but Grogu’s intervention is a nice way to involve him in the goings-on. Din pledging to serve her as the tribes’ leader is a nice way of making her a bonafide co-protagonist, and it’s useful to put her in this position because it gives us another hero to root for while preserving Din’s mystique. The group finding the Nite Owl survivors and Bo-Katan revealing to them that she surrendered to Gideon prior to the Purge is a poignant character moment that gives her even more layers of depth. No need to get stuck in the philosophical weeds-there are more pressing issues at hand, namely the scouting mission on Mandalore. The friction is conveyed loud and clear, but they never really get into it verbally, which is actually perfect for the purposes of the episode. The opposing ideals of the two Mando tribes aren’t addressed directly here. And the foreboding tribal drums are a slick indicator of the tension between the two tribes.
The Light Cruiser with the Mandalorian signet scrawled on its belly hanging ominously over the city is majestic, and it’s simple but evocative imagery like this that has remained one of the most powerful cinematic staples of Star Wars since the opening shot of A New Hope.
The episode then shifts focus to the Nite Owls and Children of the Watch as they have an uncomfortable standoff on Nevarro. It’s great to finally have him back on the show.

Gideon’s imposing intellect and influence are on full display here, and Giancarlo Esposito proves once again that he’s a master at playing the most terrifying villain in the room. It seems clear now how The Mandalorian will be bridging the gap between these trilogies.Īll that aside, the most pertinent information revealed in the clandestine meeting with regards to this show is that the Empire is laying low under the guise of scattered, “unorganized remnant warlords,” and that Gideon convinces his cohorts to grant him a grip of resources, namely Praetorian Guards (another nice tether to the Sequels) to stop the Mandalorians from retaking their home world. We’re of course taking about “Project Necromancer,” which hints at the Imperial experiments to revive Emperor Palpatine. He’s even played by Brian Gleeson, General Hux actor Domhnall Gleeson’s brother! And that’s not even the biggest tie-in to those films. Beyond that, the scene also features Brendol Hux, a nice little tie-in to the Sequel Trilogy.
