Omid Abtahi in Chapter 19: The Convert (2023)

Review by XweAponX

Chapter 19: The Convert

The Mandalorian

10/10

56 Minutes!

Finally, we get a significant amount of time to enjoy this portion of the story instead of a less than 30 minute teaser episode like we got with the first S3 episode.

This finishes Mando and Bo's visit to the magic healing waters of Mandalore... aka the magic dump and sewage planet that Mandalore has become...

Where Bo-Kataan saw something extremely significant. What part is this going to play in the story? We do not know, which is the way it should be.

Meanwhile, the focus shifts to the planet Coruscant. We had seen this planet in a couple of the Parts 1-3 films... but we never saw the inner workings of it. The scientist that we had met previously was apparently granted amnesty, and is now working to dispose of imperial junk. Lots and lots of imperial junk.

But he has higher aspirations... even though he claims to only want to do good.

So we get to see a lot of the nooks and crannies of Coruscant like we have never seen before.

Where the Star Wars films always give us a broad canvas, the Mandalorian and it's appendix show Book of Boba Fett give us the small details of what life is like in the new republic and the old empire.

So a good portion of this episode focuses on this scientist, but he runs into an associate, which is not suspicious at all?

And although all of the correct words are spoken, he is encouraged to do something that should not be done.

It is very difficult to predict where this part of the story is going to go. And this also is the way.

Meanwhile, the new family of Mando needs to set up camp at a new covert. And now Bo-Kataan is part of this. In the previous episode, she appears to have been humbled and changed for the better.

But the question is, is this a permanent change and is this an honest change? Or is there some kind of ulterior motive happening here? I hope for the former.

But the elephant in the room is this: there are two people in this story right now, who we know have designs upon Mando's magic, heavy dark light saber.

So we knew that this was going to happen before it ever happened. It's just that the pieces are gathering themselves all into one place, right here, right now. So the only question is, when is the catastrophe going to occur? But of course, every Catastrophe has a Eucatastrophe. It's magic, see?
