Warning: This article contains major spoilers for the second episode of "The Mandaloran" season 3.
The "Star Wars" universe is home to countless stories. This franchise is a sandbox where anything goes, where any kind of creature and any kind of character can exist and fit into the rest of the universe. We have seen political thrillers, war dramas, grand adventures, seedy underworld tales, unfortunate holiday celebrations, and much more.
It's truly exciting to see the variety of shows we get, even when they lack a cohesive interconnected plan, whether it's the grounded drama of "Andor," the adventure-of-the-week of "The Bad Batch," or the eclectic collection of ideas and genres of "Star Wars Visions" all co-existing at the same time.
So far, season three of "The Mandalorian" is a great example of the eclectic range of "Star Wars." In the first two episodes alone, we have continued to get grand serials-inspired adventure,...

This Star Wars article contains spoilers for The Mandalorian.
The first chapter of the George Lucas‘ Original Trilogy would have turned out very differently had it not been for a bad motivator. Although R2-D2 is on a very important mission to get Princess Leia’s message to Obi-Wan Kenobi, A New Hope almost throws a wrench in the little droid’s plan when Uncle Owen initially chooses R5-D4 as his new astromech. But then fate intervenes: the rusty droid’s motivator pops out of its head, followed closely by plumes of smoke.
R5’s a piece of junk and now everyone knows it. The little droid had a shot to become the best pal of the galaxy’s greatest hero, and perhaps even go on a big adventure or two, but he blew it. Fortunately, we know, thanks to The Mandalorian, that those pesky Jawas eventually fixed poor R5 up,...

This Star Wars article contains spoilers for The Mandalorian.
“The Mines of Mandalore” may be the most consequential episode of The Mandalorian released yet. No one expected Din and Grogu would get to the planet of the Mandalorians so soon after last week’s side quests, but season 3 decides to deliver the goods in its second episode, including a moment fans have been waiting for since Din received his new mission in The Book of Boba Fett.
Navigating Mandalore’s wastelands is anything but an easy task for our heroes, as they soon discover many dangers await them in what remains of Sundari. Along the way, the duo encounters many easter eggs and references to other parts of the Star Wars universe. Here are all the callbacks we spotted in “The Mines of Mandalore”…

Warning: This article contains major spoilers for the second episode of "The Mandalorian" season 3.
In "The Mandalorian," the evolution of Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) from a by-the-book bounty hunter religiously devoted to his creed to a deeply protective adoptive father of the most sought-after Force-sensitive child in the galaxy is staggering. Din's lone-wolf lifestyle leaves little space for full-time parenting, but his endearingly genuine bond with Grogu over the course of time has led to Din assuming the role of a patient, loving father.
I mean, Din loves Grogu to the point that he is ready to part ways with the kid just so that he can be with his own kind, which fuels the events of the season 2 finale where Grogu departs with Luke Skywalker for Jedi training purposes. Although Din tries to ease back into his usual lone shenanigans, the man clearly misses Grogu and is visibly...

Warning: This article contains major spoilers for the second episode of "The Mandalorian" season 3.
A thrilling, risk-laden adventure has already begun with Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu making their way to the ruins of a seemingly-cursed planet in "The Mines of Mandalore," the latest episode in the third season of the "Star Wars" series "The Mandalorian." The season premiere saw Din embark on a series of video game fetch quests to be able to reach his goal: Bathing in the Living Waters beneath the mines of Mandalore to atone for the sin of straying from "the way."
The personal, almost-spiritual nature of this quest puts Mando in a unique position, and he is acutely aware of the dangers of such a reckless mission. After Bo-Katan (Katee Sackhoff) refuses to accompany him, having seemingly given up on reclaiming her birthright, and Din is unable to retrieve the parts needed to...

This post contains spoilers for "The Mandalorian" season 3, episode 2 "The Mines of Mandalore."
Making a high-tech fantasy show appear both visually striking and tangibly convincing can be a tricky endeavor. Even objectively good pieces of media often struggle with proper lighting whilst depicting dimly lit sequences or nighttime scenes, making it impossible to tell what the heck is happening. Fortunately, this is not the case with the latest season 3 episode of "The Mandalorian," titled "The Mines of Mandalore," which is exactly where most of the key events take place — within the dark, dreary underground city of Sundari that Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu set out to explore.
Directed by Rachel Morrison, whose work as director of photography in "Mudbound" earned her an Oscar nomination for best cinematography, "The Mines of Mandalore" is a shining example of dimly lit fantasy sequences done right, wherein the episode's visual language greatly informs...

In “The Apostate,” we reunite with Mando and Grogu for a new adventure to Mandalore. But first, a few side quests that take the duo back to the Armorer and Greef Karga. Along the way, we learn that a character from The Mandalorian‘s past is making a surprise return. And if that weren’t enough, the season 3 premiere also has quite a few other callbacks that will raise eyebrows, including one or two things from The Clone Wars!
Here are all the Star Wars easter eggs and references we spotted in this episode:
Gorian Shard
“The Apostate” introduces a brand-new villain to the Mandoverse. Meet the pirate king Gorian Shard. We have no idea what species he is, but we do know Gorian is very, very cross with Greef Karga. Nevarro’s gone legit and the pirates have been cut out of the spoils.

ReviewEven setting aside all its problematic theorising, Bakasuran fails as a thriller because it has nothing new to offer.youtube/ Mrt MusicThere was a time when Tamil cinema made one film after another about the wonders of organic farming. It wasn’t a good phase for a reviewer who had to sit through this week after week, listening to lectures about the glories of manure and the redness of traditional tomatoes. But one almost feels nostalgic for those days because the trend was replaced by the 2019 Pollachi sexual assault case, and we’re still seeing films inspired by it, four years later. It is no secret that director Mohan G is fond of conspiracy theories. His ideas can be boiled down to two beliefs that are fundamental to his films: women are stupid and need to be protected always; the toxic masculinity of dominant caste men who ‘own’ these women...
