The Mandalorian Chapter 2: The Child

In which all Mando wants is to get off-planet without being besieged by rogues and scavengers.

This week, in our recap of The Mandalorian’s Chapter 2, “The Child,” we talk through the Mandalorian’s stylish, distinct, comic book-esque visual language and the rights of Mudhorns to, you know, peacefully exist. We also talk about the Mandalorian’s code of ethics—which is in flux—and what it must feel like for a highly professional bounty hunter to suddenly…not be in his element.
