Best of Growing Up Skywalker
The Mandalorian Chapter 8: Redemption
In our recap of “Redemption” (The Mandalorian Season 1, Chapter 8), we wrestle with questions of honor, if it matters, and why it’s so important to try. We also cover the chain of ownership of darksaber (and question why Lando doesn’t have it??), the importance of the Child, and the role of Moff Gideon in the somehow still-functioning Empire (???).
The Mandalorian Chapter 7: The Reckoning
In “The Reckoning” (The Mandalorian, Chapter 7), we explore the governance (and lack thereof) of the New Republic, the rise of fascism in a post-Endor era, and what the Empire looks like in ABY 9. We also pay an homage to Kuiil—the original Bae, and one of the reasons for the start of Growing Up Skywalker—by exploring the concept of honor.
The Mandalorian Chapter 3: The Sin
This week, we dive deep into the Mandalorian’s crisis of ethics, starting with the Bounty Hunter Guild Code and ending with his loyalty to the Mandalorian Creed. We also dig into thoughts on currency, value, and compensation; showdowns on the street; and whether or not we got an Embo cameo.
The Mandalorian Season 1 Premiere: The Mandalorian
On the show this week, we’re recapping the premiere of the shot heard ’round the world in the form of the first Star Wars live-action TV show, “The Mandalorian.”
We talk through justice in the Era of the New Republic, the mishmash of ancient legend + spaghetti Western + samurai story + space opera, and the reason we created our fan-favorite segment, Bae Watch. (Spoiler alert: It’s Kuiil. It’s always been Kuiil.)
