The Armorer eventually broke it up, reminding them of "The Way." You may recall his most prominent appearance in the episode "The Sin," when he got into a fight with Mando upon Mando bringing his Beskar reward (from the Imperial client played by Werner Herzog) to The Armorer Paz thought his working with someone aligned with the Empire was a cowardly move. Paz Vizsla makes his return in The Book of Boba Fett, but we actually first met him back in Season 1 of The Mandalorian once Mando went to the underground Cover (remember, these were surviving Mandalorians who made it off their destroyed planet). Who is Paz Vizsla? Where have we seen him before? But first, he just wants to check on a little friend (and we all know that's our old pal Grogu aka Baby Yoda aka The Child aka everyone's god damn favorite).īut before we get to all that, let's take a closer look at the most exciting part of the episode-that Mandalorian duel and battle for the Darksaber. After a risky test flight and proof the new bad boy can run like the wind, Mando is in a good mood-just in time for the story to match where we were headed last week, with Fennec Shand and Boba Fett needing his help. The ship, an N1 Naboo Starfighter, needs a DIY job pretty badly, but it's nothing they can't tackle together. Mando wins in combat, but when he reveals to the Armorer that he's taken his helmet off, she casts him astray-unless he can make it to lakes in Mandalore (which have, uh, been destroyed) to redeem himself.įollowing their climactic duel-and Mando's seemingly being cast out of the Mandalorian creed (at least temporariy)-he returns to Tattoine, where he meets up with Peli (Amy Sedaris) who hooks him up with a new ship. This is, of course, how Mando got it from the evil Moff Gideon in Season 2 of The Mandalorian. Eventually-and we will touch on this more below-the two dual, as it's the Mandalorian creed for the owner of the blade to only shift by winning in combat. They find out that Mando has earned the Darksaber, and Paz in particular is curious. Eventually, our guy takes his check and finds some signals that lead him to a secret Covert where the Armorer and Paz Vizsla, fellow Mandalorians, have survived and would like to grow their type. After an opening (and extremely badass) battle that finds Mando cutting his bounty target in half and taking his head in a sack (He tells him as he's told others before: "I can take you in warm, or cold" This guy chooses cold.). Mando (Din, but we're going to call him Mando from here on out) has since returned to the kind of for-hire bounty hunting work that he was doing at the start of the series, only now he's got the Darksaber, and theoretically should be the ruler of all of Mandalore.Ī lot to take on! But he's not exactly giving it up anytime soon. The title of Episode 5, "Return of the Mandalorian" basically says it all-the entire episode follows a post-Season 2 Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) in the time after his little pal Grogu/Baby Yoda has gone off for Jedi training with Luke Skywalker. It's somewhat ironic that the best episode of The Book of Boba Fettyet was one that shifted the focus.away from Boba Fett himself. The following story contains spoilers for The Book of Boba Fett Episode 5, "Return of the Mandalorian."
