We continue to see the Mandalorian evolve as his horizons broaden. In this episode, he’s presented with a difficult choice, but that choice represents an opportunity for more nuanced thinking.
On the 57th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts — Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) — dive into Chapter 15 (“The Believer”) of “The Mandalorian,” the live-action Star Wars series on Disney+. The major topic of discussion on this week’s show centers around Din’s journey away from binary thinking, and how the motley crew around him is helping him through that — particularly in the form of the character of Mayfield. Star Wars itself has often been very black and white, and this episode represents a shift in that thinking … to mirror Din’s. (Also, who is “The Believer?” Well, it’s complicated.)
