The Mandalorian mantra we hear throughout Season 1 of the series of the same name is “This is the Way.” It’s a simple message but can be applied to multiple situations in many contexts, making it an instant catch phrase (and a smart bit of writing).
That phrase is appropriate when discussing Chapter 8, the final chapter of Season 1, because this is the episode where the Mandalorian truly embraces his new path.
We talk about that on this week’s podcast, along with a certain reveal of a certain object that has everyone (including us) going crazy.
Here’s this episode’s synopsis.
Your hosts — Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) — dive into the eighth and final chapter of season 1 of “The Mandalorian,” the live-action Star Wars series on Disney+. “Redemption” takes the group in a lot of directions, but the biggest point of discussion ends up being the reveal at the end of the episode. What does it mean? Where did it come from? And should it even have happened? They do a deep dive on sabers, but they also get into the Mandalorian’s development as a character and his new change of direction (what the episode is really all about). “This is the way.”
