Podcast Stardust #544: The Mandalorian – Chapters 18 & 19 – The Mines of Mandalore & The Convert

by Podcast Stardust

The Mandalorian makes his way to the living waters of the mines of Mandalore with a little help from Grogu and Bo-Katan.

NOTE: We are reviewing chapters 18 and 19 of The Mandalorian as we start catching up on our coverage of season three.

The Mandalorian fell into a chasm while attempting to bathe in the living waters of the mines of Mandalore in the past episode only to be rescued by Bo-Katan. In the process, both achieved redemption per the terms of the Creed. Their victory is short lived as the Empire moves in on them with TIE Interceptors and they are forced to flee to the covert of the Children of the Watch. Meanwhile, Dr. Pershing struggles to integrate himself into New Republic society after participating in their amnesty program. However, another former officer of Moff Gideon’s is there to lend him a hand. Join us as we dive into the latest episode of The Mandalorian on the episode of Podcast Stardust.

In this fully armed and operational episode, we discuss:

  • Bo-Katan’s history with Mandalore and some of the references she makes to her past,
  • Din Djarin bathing in the living waters of the mines of Mandalore,
  • The tank spider and new alien that attacked Din Djarin,
  • The appearance of a legendary creatures at the end of chapter 18,
  • Bo-Katan and Din Djarin fighting a squad of TIE Interceptors in chapter 19,
  • The destruction of Bo-Katan’s palace,

  • Aspects of the New Republic’s amnesty program,
  • What Elia Kane was up to when she betrayed Dr. Pershing, and
