We join our hero as he once again looking for money because as you know children are expensive. And The Child is no exception. He meets an old acquaintance trying to find a job and he has one but catch is, he has to form a Suicide Squad type of team to rescue a prisoner. Mayfield (Bill Burr, F is for Family) leads the charge as they try and rescue Xi'an's (Natalia Tena, Game of Thrones) brother.
Yes Natalia Tena is yet again in another role in a big series. She has now checked off Star Wars on her resume. If that name sounds familiar, she is better known to the Millenials as Tonks from Harry Potter series.
Everything goes according to plan. They all sit back and let TM do all the work. This is shady stuff right? I mean I thought so. They are all supposed to be the best fighters in the galaxy but can't seem to take down four droids? Seems a bit peculiar. And that gets proven when they trap TM after rescuing the prisoner.
But they severely underestimated TM.
TM finds a way to escape and then in true horror film style, takes them out one by one. I really enjoyed the directing choice by building the tension because if this was a scary movie, it would definitely make you jump. Good job Rick Famuyiwa.
Once TM is back on the ship and he has rescued The Child from Zero (voiced by Richard Ayoade, The Lego Movie 2) the final member of the squad, he goes back for his money. You would think that TM would have peaked when he took down the other members? But oh no. He's not done shocking and awing you. He is able to not only get his money but take out the hitter before he gets hit.
Pure perfection. If all the Star Wars movies were like how the story of The Mandalorian was being told, I would be more interested. The show doesn't rely so much on special effect but rather hand-to-hand combat and a story that keeps you guessing at every turn.
