Jenn Fujikawa and Carlos Miranda take a look at season 2 of The Mandalorian and put forward their arguments for which was the best episode, with The Heiress and The Rescue the two episodes they plumb for.
My favorite episode? It’s “Chapter 11: The Heiress,” says Jenn.
The best episode from The Mandalorian Season 2 — at least, for me? No question, it has to be “Chapter 11: The Heiress.” After the dire straits of the previous episode, the Razor Crest passengers finally make their way to their destination, and they do it with a bang. It’s excitement from the word go with a crash landing that has you on the edge of your seat.
Nothing can compete with the emotional payoff of “Chapter 16: The Rescue,” says Carlos.
There’s nothing more gratifying than a rousing and emotional conclusion to a story you’re deeply invested in. It’s fair to say that before The Mandalorian premiered, none of us predicted that the story’s focal point would be the bond between a fearless bounty hunter and a small child (of Yoda’s species, no less). The genius of The Mandalorian is that — in addition to stirring action mixed with beloved Star Wars iconography (TIE fighters, X-wings, lightsabers, etc.) — it is ultimately a universally relatable story of love, respect, and friendship.
