Plot

The Mandalorian delivers "the Child" to the Client. He asks about the plans for the Child but is given no answer. When the Mandalorian returns to the secret Mandalorian enclave, his heavily damaged armor is replaced by the Armorer with a new set forged from some of the beskar reward. Another Mandalorian berates him for working with former agents of the Galactic Empire, who are responsible for their predicament; the Armorer defuses the situation by reminding them of the Way of Mandalore. Returning to the guild, the Mandalorian learns from Greef Karga that everyone in the guild had a tracking fob for the Child. Greef implores him to take some time to rest, but the Mandalorian insists on taking on another job. He asks Greef if he has any idea what The Client has planned for the Child, but Greef says he did not ask as it would be against the guild code, telling him he should forget about it. Despite accepting a new assignment and starting to prepare his ship to depart, the Mandalorian starts to feel guilty for delivering the Child and turns back to infiltrate The Client's base of operations.

Killing many Imperial stormtroopers, he rescues the Child from a laboratory. On the way back to his ship, the Mandalorian is ambushed by the other bounty hunters and Greef, who demand he hands the Child over. After he refuses, a firefight breaks out, leaving the Mandalorian heavily outnumbered and cornered, but warriors from the Mandalorian enclave unexpectedly arrive, attacking the bounty hunters and giving the Mandalorian cover to escape. Ambushing the Mandalorian on his ship, Greef gives him one last chance to surrender, but the Mandalorian outsmarts him and shoots him, ejecting him from the spacecraft. The Child's hand appears, reaching up to the console from below; the Mandalorian unscrews a control knob that he had earlier forbid the Child for playing with and drops it into its hand.

Production

Development

Lucasfilm and Disney announced the development of a new live action Star Wars series that would be released for their streaming service Disney+ in November 2017. [1] The series would be focused in the Mandalorians exploring the "scum and villainy" of the Star Wars universe taking place five years the events of the film Return of the Jedi (1983). [2] [3] The series would later reveal its official title The Mandalorian alongside the official premise. [4] Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy saw the opportunity of the series to allow a diverse group of writers and directors to create their own Star Wars stories. [5] In March 2018, John Favreau was hired by Lucasfilm to be the head writer of the series, [5] while Deborah Chow was announced to direct two episodes for the series by October. Chow is the first woman to direct a live-action project for the Star Wars franchise. [6] The executive producers of the series include Kennedy, Favreau, Dave Filoni and Colin Wilson. [7] The first season's third episode titled "Chapter 3: The Sin", [8] was written by Favreau, [9] and was released on Disney+ on November 22, 2019. [10]

Writing

The comic book manga Lone Wolf and Cub was influential for the development of the series, as the relationship grows stronger as it progress. Filoni revealed that the idea of the development of both of the lead characters was an idea of Favreau to inspire the manga for the creation of the series "some of his mystique had been taken away due to the prequel trilogy". Favreau idea was to reimagine that character as a straight-on bounty hunter and take that imagery of the lone gunfighter. The revelation was this idea of this child in a lone wolf cub sensibility." [11] [12] Seeking a redemption arc for the main character, Favreau wrote the episode's story to follow the Mandalorian trying to initially avoid the responsibility of taking the Child, not wanting to take the responsibility of a father by delivering the Child to the Client. [13] However, the Mandalorian regrets his actions and decides to save him, representing the main character arc of redemption to become softer and relatable, [14] leading him to become the prey for the assassins from the organization that he used to work. Favreu was influenced by the John Wick film series to create the storyline, as the titular character also breaks the rules of the organization that he worked for, thus becoming an "excomunicado" and the prey of the assassins who seek the reward forcing him to go on the run. [15] [16]

Casting

On December 12, 2018, it was announced that Werner Herzog, Omid Abtahi, and Carl Weathers had joined the main cast, [17] as The Client, Dr. Pershing and Greef Karga, respectively. Emily Swallow guest stars as The Armorer. [17] Paz Vizla was voiced by Favreau and physically played by stunt double Tait Fletcher. [18] Gene Freeman is credited as stunt double for Greef Karga. "The Child" was performed by various puppeteers. [19]

Filming and visual effects

Principal photography began in the first week of October 2018 in Southern California. [20] Filming took place at the Manhattan Beach Studios in California under the working title Project Huckleberry, while also receiving a limited location filming in the area of Los Angeles. [21] [22] The series applies the StageCraft which was created with the intention of capturing the digital environments rendered on a video wall in real time in order to bring high quality images for the to final effects. [23] Greig Fraser was the sole director of photography for the first and third episodes, which were filmed together at the same time. [24] Filming for the first season wrapped on February 27, 2019. [25] Visual effects for the episode were created by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), Base FX, ImagineEngine, MPC, Pixomondo, El Ranchito, Ghost FX, Hybride FX, and Important Looking Pirates. The development of the viusal effects was supervised by Richard Bluff. [26]

In a positive review, Tyler Hersko, of IndieWire , stated that "[It] has done an admirable job of establishing its premise and most of its main characters in its first three episodes, but it remains to be seen if the rest of the season can move those elements in an interesting (and hopefully inventive) direction." [31] Kelly Lawler of USA Today wrote: "Three episodes into the series set in a galaxy far, far away, Baby Yoda has emerged as the shining star of Mandalorian, the standout character who keeps fans coming back for more as the uneven series chugs on."
