Pershing is the cloner who wanted Grogu in the first place during the first season.

It’s a welcome bit of world-building and tonal continuity between otherwise unrelated Disney+ shows that makes The Mandalorian truly, and unexpectedly, feel like the flagship of these series.Īfter a great dogfight that destroys Bo-Katan’s home on the Mandalorian moon of Kalevala (with the first onscreen reference to TIE Interceptors that I can remember), the story flashes over to Coruscant, following the re-integration of Imperial Geneticist Dr. That’s not exactly what happens in The Convert the story is still squarely concerned with Din Djarin and Grogu’s world, but for most of its running time, we journey into what can only be described as Andor-lite. Ever since, the brazenness of Jon Favreau’s decision to just up and leave a show he cared about less to tell more stories with cooler characters has been a running joke. The Book of Boba Fett was mostly a pile of shit besides the two episodes that inexplicably detoured into The Mandalorian ( The Return of the Mandalorian and From the Desert Comes a Stranger).
