• The Mandalorian : Are you a Jedi?

  Luke Skywalker : I am.

  [to Grogu] 

  Luke Skywalker : Come, little one.

  The Mandalorian : He doesn't want to go with you.

  Luke Skywalker : He wants your permission. He is strong with the Force, but talent without training is nothing. I will give my life to protect the Child... but he will not be safe until he masters his abilities.

  The Mandalorian : [picks up Grogu]  Hey, go on. That's who you belong with. He's one of your kind. I'll see you again. I promise.

• The Mandalorian : We have his coordinates.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : You can bring me to Moff Gideon?

  The Mandalorian : The Moff has a light cruiser. It could be helpful in your efforts to restore Mandalore.

  Boba Fett : You gotta be kidding me. Mandalore? The Empire turned that planet to glass.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : You're a disgrace to your armor.

  Boba Fett : This armor belonged to my father.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : Don't you mean your donor?

  Boba Fett : Careful, princess.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : You are a clone. I've heard your voice thousands of times.

  Boba Fett : Mine might be the last one you hear.

• The Mandalorian : [saying goodbye to Grogu]  Don't be afraid.

• Moff Gideon : [about the Darksaber]  Mesmerizing, isn't it? Used to belong to Bo-Katan. Yes. I know you've been traveling with Bo-Katan. A friendly piece of advice, assume that I know everything. Like the face that your wrist launcher has fired its one and only salvo.

  The Mandalorian : Where is this going?

  Moff Gideon : *This* is where it's going. I'm guessing that Bo-Katan and her boarding party have arrived the bridge, seeking me or, more accurately, this. But I'm not there. And I imagine that they've killed everyone on the bridge, being the murderous savages that they are. And now, they are beginning to panic. You see, she wants this. Do you know why? Because it brings power. Whoever wields this sword... has to right to lay claim to the Mandalorian throne.

  The Mandalorian : You keep it. I just want the kid.

  Moff Gideon : Very well. I've already got what I want from him. His blood. All I wanted was to study his blood. This Child is extremely gifted and has been blessed with rare properties that have the potential to bring order back to the galaxy. I see your bond with him. Take him, but you will leave my ship immediately and we will go our separate ways.

• Bo-Katan Kryze : [seeing Mando has captured Moff Gideon]  What happened?

  Cara Dune : He brought him in alive, that's what happened. And now the New Republic's gonna have to double the payment.

  Moff Gideon : That's not what she's talking about. Why don't you kill him now and take it? It's yours now.

  The Mandalorian : What is?

  Moff Gideon : The Darksaber. It belongs to you.

  The Mandalorian : [offering it to Bo-Katan]  Now... it belongs to her.

  Moff Gideon : She can't take it. It must be won in battle. In order for her to wield the Darksaber again, she would need to defeat you in combat.

  The Mandalorian : I yield. It's yours.

  Moff Gideon : Oh, no. It doesn't work that way. The Darksaber doesn't have power. The story does. Without that blade, she's a pretender to the throne.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : He's right.

  The Mandalorian : Come on, just take it.

• The Mandalorian : I need your help.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : Not all Mandalorians are bounty hunters. Some of us serve a higher purpose.

  The Mandalorian : They took the Child.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : Who?

  The Mandalorian : Moff Gideon.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : You'll never find him.

• Bo-Katan Kryze : We will help you. In exchange, we will keep that ship to retake Mandalore. If you should manage to finish your quest, I would have you reconsider joining our efforts. Mandalorians have been in exile from our homeworld for far too long.

  The Mandalorian : Fair enough.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : One more thing. Gideon has a weapon that once belonged to me. It is an ancient weapon that can cut through anything.

  Koska Reeves : Almost anything.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : It cannot cut through pure beskar. I will kill the Moff and retake what is rightfully mine. With the Darksaber restored to me, Mandalore will finally be within reach.

  The Mandalorian : Help me rescue the Child, and you can have whatever you want. He is my only priority.

• The Mandalorian : [after removing his helmet; to Grogu]  Alright, pal. It's time to go. Don't be afraid.

  [he sets Grogu down and faces Luke, but then notices Grogu is hugging his leg. R2-D2 then rolls in behind Luke. Grogu turns and walks over to Artoo. Artoo leans over to look at Grogu. Grogu coos happily while Artoo beeps excitedly while wobbling back and forth. Luke and the Mandalorian share a look. Grogu looks up at Luke and raises his arms. Luke bends over and picks him up before turning back to the Mandalorian] 

  Luke Skywalker : May the Force be with you.

  [Luke turns and walks toward the elevator. As he does, Grogu looks back at the Mandalorian, who has tears in his eyes. Luke steps into the elevator and Artoo rolls in beside him. Grogu and the Mandalorian share one final look before the elevator door closes] 

• [as the dark troopers are try to break down the doors to the bridge, the Mandalorian and his allies prepare for a fight. All of a sudden, an alarm goes off. They turn to see a lone X-wing fighter fly past the cruiser] 

  Bo-Katan Kryze : An X-wing.

  Cara Dune : [sarcastically]  One X-wing? Great. We're saved.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : [activates the comm system]  Incoming craft, identify yourself.

  [the X-wing lands inside the docking bay. Grogu then looks up, as if sensing something. The dark troopers continue to pound at the door, then suddenly stop and turn around] 

  Fennec Shand : Why did they stop?

  [Bo-Katan watches a monitor screen, where a mysterious hooded figure is walking down the hall. The figure is then shown to wield a lightsaber, which they use to dispatch the dark troopers] 

  Bo-Katan Kryze : A Jedi?

  [the Mandalorian looks up at the sound of that name. The Jedi is then shown walking down a walkway, cutting down dark troopers with their green lightsaber or Force-pushing them back. The Jedi then walks inside the cargo hold. They deflect blaster fire from more dark troopers. They use the Force to pin one against the wall with a crate while cutting the other one in half. As the Jedi walks past the first trooper, they slice it across the chest. Moff Gideon, having seen enough, grabs a blaster and fires on Bo-Katan, knocking her to the ground. He then turns the blaster on Grogu, but the Mandalorian dives in front of him, protecting him with his armor] 

  Fennec Shand : [pointing her gun at him]  Drop it!

  [Gideon looks around at everyone pointing blasters at him. He then points his blaster at his chin, intending to kill himself, but Cara knocks it out of his hand then knocks him out. The Jedi cuts down more dark troopers while Grogu reaches toward their image on the monitor screen. The Jedi then enters an elevator heading for the bridge's level. The remaining dark troopers march toward the elevator. After several tense moments, the elevator door opens and the Jedi deflects the blaster fire of the dark troopers and Force-pushes some back. He then uses the Force to crush the last trooper. Grogu watches on a screen, then turns to the Mandalorian, who picks him up] 

  The Mandalorian : Open the doors. I said, open the doors.

  Fennec Shand : Are you crazy?

  [the Mandalorian puts Grogu in a chair and presses a button, opening the door. The Jedi steps through, deactivates their lightsaber and removed their hood, revealing himself to be Luke Skywalker] 

• The Mandalorian : Where is the Child being held?

  Dr. Pershing : This is the brig. He's being held here under armed guard.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : Very well. We split into two parties.

  The Mandalorian : I go alone.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : Fine. Phase one, Lambda shuttle issues a distress call. Two, we come in hot and emergency land at the mouth of the fighter launch tube, cutting off any potential interceptors. Koska, Fennec, Dune, and myself disembark with maximum initiative. Once we've neutralized the launch bay, we make our way through these tandem decks in a penetration maneuver.

  The Mandalorian : And me?

  Bo-Katan Kryze : We'll be misdirection. Once we draw a crowd, you slip through the shadows, get the kid.

  Cara Dune : Those dark troopers are gonna be a real skank in the scud pie.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : Their bay is on the way to the brig. Can he make it there before they deploy?

  Dr. Pershing : It's possible.

  Fennec Shand : [handing Mando a thin cylinder]  Here. Take his code cylinder and seal off their holding bay. Anyone else, we can handle.

  The Mandalorian : We'll meet at the bridge.

• Bo-Katan Kryze : This is Moff Gideon's Imperial light cruiser. In the old days, it would carry a crew of several hundred. Now it operates with a tiny fraction of that.

  Dr. Pershing : Your assessment is misleading.

  Cara Dune : Oh, great. An objective opinion.

  Dr. Pershing : This isn't subterfuge, I assure you.

  Bo-Katan Kryze : Let him speak.

  Dr. Pershing : There's a garrison of dark troopers on board. They're the ones who abducted the Child.

  The Mandalorian : How many troopers do they have armed in those suits?

  Dr. Pershing : These are third-generation design. They are no longer suits. The human inside was the final weakness to be solved. They're droids.

  Fennec Shand : Where are they bivouacked?

  Dr. Pershing : They're held in cold storage in this cargo bay. They draw too much power to be kept at ready.

  Fennec Shand : How long to power up?

  Dr. Pershing : A few minutes, perhaps.

• [Mando boards the shuttle] 

  Co-Pilot : Before you make a mistake, this is Dr. Pershing.

  The Mandalorian : We've met. Is the kid alive?

  Dr. Pershing : Yes. He's on the cruiser.

  Co-Pilot : [Cara walks in next]  Stay back, Dropper.

  Pilot : Easy, pal. Okay. I'm not with him. We can work something out.

  [the co-pilot shoots the pilot in the back]
