Best of Growing Up Skywalker
The Mandalorian, Chapter 21: “The Pirate”
How much does independence from the New Republic matter to you when you’re being shelled by sentient algae pirate king Gorian Shard? That’s the question Greef Karga and all of Nevarro have to answer this week in The Mandalorian, Chapter 21: “The Pirate.”
The Mandalorian, Chapter 20: “The Foundling”
This week, we’re recapping the mythology-filled midpoint of the Mandalorian’s third season, “The Foundling” (Chapter 20). We parse the effects of Mandalorian myth, legend, and custom on the Children of the Watch’s community. We wonder whether Bo-Katan will stay, and where Kelleran Beq went. And we ask the real heavy-hitting questions about having sons and daughters when you belong to a society where no one takes their helmets off.
The Mandalorian, Chapter 19: “The Convert”
The Mandalorian’s nineteenth chapter, “The Convert,” takes us through two action-packed plotlines: Bo-Katan and Din Djarin’s acceptance into the Children of the Watch, and Dr. Pershing’s struggle to assimilate into the New Republic.
The Mandalorian, Chapter 18: “The Mines of Mandalore”
How scary could the troglodyte-indested mines underneath a thoroughly bombed wasteland planet really be? With a lot of “But wait, there's more” energy, this week’s episode, “The Mines of Mandalore” (Season 3, Chapter 18) brings the action!
The Mandalorian Season 3 Premiere: “The Apostate”
The Mandalorian’s third series opens with “The Apostate,” and a tempting array of side quests: Spelunking into the Mines of Mandalore, rebuilding IG-11, rejoining the Children of the Watch, and actively parenting Grogu. What will Mando choose?
The Book of Boba Fett Finale: “In the Name of Honor” (Season 1, Episode 7)
In our recap of the Book of Boba Fett series finale, we discuss Boba Fett’s big Mandalorian energy and how he has truly been reborn a Tusken. We talk about war—and what comes next—and chart out the possible ramifications of Grogu’s choice. The vibes? Hopeful. The aesthetics? Impeccable. This is a stellar way to close out a show.
The Book of Boba Fett: “From The Desert Comes a Stranger” (Season 1, Episode 6)
Spaghetti Western truly meets space opera in The Book of Boba Fett’s “From The Desert Comes a Stranger” (Season 1, Episode 6).
The Book of Boba Fett: “Return of the Mandalorian” (Season 1, Episode 5)
Is this Book of Boba Fett episode…also the best episode of The Mandalorian?? In “The Return of the Mandalorian” (Season 1, Episode 5), we get exactly zero Boba Fett, but we do get to revel in Din Djarin’s return to the small screen, Peli Moto’s utter hamminess, and the deep lore of the Children of the Watch.
The Book of Boba Fett: “The Gathering Storm” (Season 1, Episode 4)
As The Book of Boba Fett hits its midpoint in “The Gathering Storm” (Season 1, Episode 4), we take a critical look at its structure and debate whether this story would have been stronger told chronologically.
The Book of Boba Fett: “The Streets of Mos Espa” (Season 1, Episode 3)
If you’re all about vengeance, style, and speeder scooter gangs, "The Streets of Most Espa" is the episode for you. The Book of Boba Fett’s third episode takes on the fun topics of colonization, organized crime, and violence—and makes them thrilling, stylish, harrowing, and even somewhat silly.
The Book of Boba Fett: “The Tribes of Tatooine” (Season 1, Episode 2)
Is “The Tribes of Tatooine” the best live-action Star Wars episode yet? If not—it’s pretty dang close. The Book of Boba Fett’s second episode delivers a transcendent work of art that dives into the colonization of the Tusken people, ritual and rebirth, and the optics of power in Mos Espa and across the Dune Sea.
The Book of Boba Fett Premiere: “Stranger in a Strange Land”
It’s not as pulpy or epic as Robert Rodriguez’s previous Boba Fett-centric episode (“The Tragedy”), but some shots of The Book of Boba Fett’s premiere, “Stranger in a Strange Land”—like Boba Fett’s fist punching through the sands of Tatooine—are straight out of a comic book panel.
The Mandalorian Season 2 Finale: “The Rescue”
The Season 2 finale of The Mandalorian (Chapter 16, “The Rescue”) sweeps to a stunning conclusion. Prepare to weep.
The Mandalorian, Chapter 15: “The Believer”
What line would you cross, and why? In this week’s episode, “The Believer” (The Mandalorian Chapter 15), we go deep into that question—plumbing the depths of honor, extremism, and vengeance.
The Mandalorian, Chapter 14: “The Tragedy”
The tragedies of “The Tragedy” (The Mandalorian Chapter 14) are as follows: The Child is stolen. The Razor Crest is disintegrated. Boba Fett only gets to shatter the helmets of, like, 15 Stormtroopers, when we would rather watch it all day.
The Mandalorian, Chapter 13: “The Jedi”
The Mandalorian’s thirteenth chapter, “The Jedi,” picks up Morgan Elsbeth’s story right where it left off in Tales of the Empire. Ahsoka’s tale, though, is another story. We rehash the wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff of Ahsoka’s journey, and discover just how alone she’s been since The Clone Wars.
Tales of the Empire: Morgan’s Tale
We thread our discussion of “The Path of Fear,” “The Path of Anger,” and “The Path of Hate” with analysis of the anti-hero’s journey, Morgan’s motivations to join the Empire, and Thrawn’s desire to see order created out of chaos. We also shake our fist at Star Wars for always killing off their witches, and sing our praises for the baddest Grand Admiral of them all.
The Mandalorian, Chapter 12: “The Siege”
Is it a siege, or more of an infiltration? Regardless, The Mandalorian’s Chapter 12, “The Siege,” brings us back to Nevarro—and a plotline we thought maybe we’d seen the end of.
The Mandalorian, Chapter 11: “The Heiress”
In this week’s episode, “The Heiress” (The Mandalorian, Chapter 11) we tell the entire bloody tale of Mandalorian history: Tracing the Darksaber’s path through Mandalorian society, tracing Bo-Katan’s journey from radical to royal, and asking how Din Djarin ended up in a religious extremist splinter cell.
The Mandalorian, Chapter 10: “The Passenger”
In our recap of “The Passenger” (The Mandalorian, Chapter 10) we watch as Mando walks ten thousand miles in the desert heat and wades through at least one million ice spiders—and has to learn that real parents maybe, possibly, generally try not to put their children through this kind of trauma.
