The Mandalorian: Season 3, Episode 7 “Chapter 23: The Spies” (B+)
Well, this episode took things in a chilling new direction, sending the Mandalorians back to their home planet to recolonize it only to discover an insidious Imperial plan that was already in motion. A rogue group of Mandalorians freeing Moff Gideon from captivity would have been bad enough, but the Empire using Beskar steel to create its own army is much worse. I’m glad at least that Giancarlo Esposito remains a part of the show and returned in a big way, working against his own peers to ensure that the Empire has the comeback he wants. Ella is also reporting directly to him, which makes her a tremendous threat who has gained access to high places. Gideon laid a perfect trap for them to fall into, and there isn’t much hope of them retaking the planet or even all escaping at this point given the nature of the ambush. Bo-Katan and Mando have found a good dynamic and now Grogu even has a way to make his voice heard thanks to the droid that allows him to frequently yell no to state his objection to something Mando was telling him to do or to stop the different clans of Mandalorians from fighting with each other. This penultimate episode has set the stage for quite a finale, and I have a feeling that season four is all but guaranteed, even if there’s no official word on a renewal just yet. This show has managed to take on a new life and has definitely earned a continuation.
