Episode 7 was a nice change of pace that finally reinvigorated a sense of a cliffhanger that makes you feel eager to see the next episode. I’ve not had much issue with any of the episodes of before, but I was getting slightly worried that it was just adventure of the week. I personally have a taste that prefers an overarching plot, though I understand how it can burn out viewers.
However, I think this episode did a wonderful job bringing it all together. Seems obvious in hindsight, but yeah, if the main guy of the Old Empire isn’t taken out, the Mandolorian and the Child will always be on the run. Thus all the previous episodes was just surviving and stalling, for a good reason. Plus it was just satisfying to see characters united from the previous episodes. A bit emotional too, which is a plus, I’m glad I could feel attached to these characters. Perhaps in the season finale, the Mandolorian will fail and season 2 will be the search for the Child.
