Plot

While the Mandalorian, Cara Dune, and Greef Karga are trapped, IG-11 rescues "the Child" and informs the group of Kuiil's death. The Mandalorian finds a vent into the sewers, where he hopes to find his people's hidden stronghold. Moff Gideon gives them until nightfall to surrender, or he will order his troops to fire, before saying Din Djarin, the Mandalorian's real name. The Mandalorian recognizes Gideon, who had been an officer of the Empire's secret police when the Empire took over Mandalore. IG-11 arrives on a Scout Trooper's bike with the Child, blasting through the stormtroopers. The Mandalorian takes down several more, but is badly wounded by Gideon. As the group take cover inside, Gideon orders a Flametrooper to incinerate them, but the Child uses the Force to reflect the flames and kill the trooper. The Mandalorian and IG-11 remain behind while Dune and Karga take the Child into the sewers. Pointing out that a Mandalorian's face being seen is technically not a violation of the Mandalorian creed, as he is a droid and not a living thing, IG-11 removes the Mandalorian's helmet, revealing the latter's face for the first time. After treating his injuries they then rejoin the others in the sewers.

Arriving at the Mandalorian enclave, they find it abandoned except for the Armorer, who explains that the Imperials found the enclave when the Mandalorians revealed themselves. Upon seeing the Child, the Armorer is reminded of the Jedi, whom Mandalorians see as their ancient enemies. She instructs the Mandalorian to take the Child to the Jedi, wherever they might be; she also carves a Mudhorn signet into his pauldron and gives him a jetpack. While the Armorer remains behind, the Mandalorian, Dune, Karga, IG-11, and the Child escape down an underground lava river. IG-11 decides to sacrifice himself by walking into an ambush and activating his self-destruct. After they emerge from the tunnel, Gideon attacks in the TIE fighter in which he arrived. Using his jetpack, the Mandalorian plants explosives on Gideon's fighter, which brings down the craft. With the Imperials seemingly dealt with, Karga invites the Mandalorian to return to the Guild, but he refuses as he must take care of the Child. Dune elects to remain behind to work as Karga's enforcer. The Mandalorian buries Kuiil's body beneath a cairn of stones and departs Nevarro. Meanwhile, Gideon cuts himself out of the crashed fighter with the Darksaber. [lower-alpha 1]

Reception

Critical response

"Chapter 8: Redemption" received critical acclaim. On Rotten Tomatoes, the episode holds an approval rating of 100% with an average rating of 8.4/10, based on 29 reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "The Mandalorian concludes with whiz-bang action and a heartening dose of "Redemption" while teasing tantalizing new adventures to come." [30]

In a positive review, Tyler Hersko, of IndieWire , felt the episode had "heroism, sacrifice, humor, excitable nods to key franchise elements, and tantalizing teases of where the Disney+ show could go in Season 2." [31] Alan Sepinwall, of Rolling Stone , felt that "The Mandalorian season finale, "Redemption", coming up just as soon as we make the baby do the magic hands." [32] Spencer Kornhaber who wrote the episode's review for The Atlantic , praised the show for humanizing the robots and for finally showing the face of the titular character and stated that the Mandalorian "began as an amoral antihero who used gadgets to capture fugitives", but once he knew Baby Yoda he started to indirectly fight against the Empire as he became the main target. [33] While reviewing for The Ringer , praised the episode for its emotional depth and ending, considering that Favreau "found a way to adjust in keeping the core" of dividing the light and dark with the concept of black-and-white. [34] Katie Rife from the The A.V. Club , stated that the season manages to partially conclude the storyline as the show leave many questions open that need to be solved in the following season and "with a satisfying conclusion layered on top of the impressively high level of craft in season one." [35]

Sean Keane stated on CNET magazine praised the series villains and ending, though he lamented the death of IG-11 even if he agreed that he had to go as he was too powerful. [36] While writing the review for the Entertainment Weekly , Meaghan Kirby considered the finale to be satisfying and lauded Waititi's direction, and expressed hopes of getting the unsolved answers for the second season. [37] For the Vulture magazine, Keith Phipps considered the final battle to be similar to the ones from the film and commented that "The Mandalorian has worked as an adventure-of-the-week episodic show, but these past two episodes have revealed those episodes as part of a grander design telling a cohesive story", that would serve as the setup for the second season which would define the future of Star Wars. [38] Laura Prudom from IGN gave the episode a rating of 9.2 out of 10, and praised it for its action sequences, performances, and considered as a satisfactory conclusion to the saga. Thoug she gave some criticism for not solving all the answers and stated that the finale "doesn't offer us many answers - Baby Yoda's true species remains unknown, ensuring that nickname will stick around for the considerable future despite Disney's merchandise-branding efforts, and we're no closer to learning exactly what Moff Gideon wants him for". Despite that, Prudom expressed hope for the series direction. [39]

Media reported on negative fan reactions to a scene where the scout trooper played by Jason Sudeikis punched "Baby Yoda". [40] [41] [42]
