What ever you say about this movie it is a fun ride. Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) (Brendan Wayne and Lateef Crowder assist) and Grogu have been recruited to help out factions of the old empire. They take an assignment from Colonel Ward (Sijourney Weaver) to rescue Rotta the Hutt (Jeremy Allen White), son of Jabba in exchange for information from Jabba's twin brothers who now run the crime syndicate. Zeb Orellios (Steve Blum) travels with them. They find Rotta who is a gladiator fighter. He does not care to be rescued. However the gladiator boss intends for Rotta to die in the ring. Turns out Rotta and Mando fight a large group of monsters intended to be a killing move by the arena leader, Lord Janu (Johnny Coyne). Mando and Zeb capture Rotta but he reports the person they are looking for is actually Lord Janu and his uncles want to kill him so they can have legitimate claim to Jabba's network. So they take Janu with them and facilitate Rotta's escape. Now they Hutt are after Mando and send a bounty hunter to bring him in. They end up as captives in the Hutt stronghold. Mando is de-helmeted, a great shame for a Mandalorian. He is cast into a monster pit. Grogu helps him escape, but not before the dragon serpent poisons him. Thanks to a local fisherman (Stephen Mckinley Henderson) who provides an antidote for the poison. They then decide to storm the castle and rescue Rotta. Rotta fights the uncles and the all fall into the dragon serpent pit. However Grogu lifts Rotta with the force and rescues him.
Lot of cool action and interesting characters based on the Star Wars franchise. I think Mandalorian could do with the return of Gina Carano as Cara Dune. I really liked her but she was fired by Disney for not being politically correct.
