Mando EP4: Return to Mandalore 4K [RELEASED]
Time

I might be alone here, but I have to state my case for one of the few parts of this season that I’ve enjoyed.

I’m a big proponent of keeping the entirety of the Pershing plot in tact. My main reason is simply that the episode was handled far better from the rest of this season in terms of dialogue, performance, and direction. Keeping it in gives the story just a little more credibility as a piece of quality media.

But in terms of its relevance to the rest of the plot. I think it’s very important because it sets up the New Republic as a failed institution. Later episodes kinda touch on this, but in a far less engaging (and more poorly acted/directed) way. Having Pershing go through these repeated Blade Runner-style baseline tests, and seeing Pershing working away in those rows and rows of Andor-style cubicles, is a way more intriguing way of showing us the state of the New Republic, rather than simply seeing Carson Teva get denied backup for Nevarro.

I think showing this side of the New Republic is very important set up for the endgame of the whole Imperial Remnant plotline.

I propose that the Pershing scenes just be spread out across the film, rather than be condensed or removed.
