The Mandalorian Season 3: Explores Faith And Forgiveness

Which of the conversions depicted in "The Convert", the third episode of The Mandalorian's third season, will last? Beyond that, however, the hour focused on a startling update and a peek into a little-known aspect of the New Republic's efforts to reestablish order throughout the cosmos. The tale also raises the issue of whether Coruscant life ever changes. Let's respond to that query and examine the tale's followers.

#1. Bo-Katan Redeemed.

Failure to take off her helmet after coming out of the water, whether on purpose or by accident, gives her entry to the Armorer's (Emily Swallow) covert because, by creed, she has also been redeemed. Again, the ambiguity of Bo-Katan's decision is noteworthy because, tactically speaking, remaining in the shadows is advantageous because a TIE Bomber detachment has just devastated her home on Kalevala. Her hesitation to join the covert's refrain of "This is the Way," however, raises the possibility that she may not be entirely on board with The Watch. And it is hard to think her conversion would be that simple given the comments she has made in the past about the group.

However, she might return to the Path of the Mand'alor if she thinks of the mythosaur in the caverns. The prophecies at least have some basis in reality, as evidenced by the creature's existence in the waters and her shortcomings while wielding the Darksaber. The Way might be a way to bring the Mandalorians together. Can she, however, take advantage of it?

#2. A Return To The Homeworld?

Some resettling of the homeworld may still take place, according to the covert events, especially Djarin's declaration that the stories about Mandalore are nothing more than a means of keeping its people off the planet. The Great Purge's bombing runs also made Boba Fett's (Temuera Morrison) claim that the world had been turned to glass the more probable reality than our previous belief that the Imperial Remnant still held sway there. But if there is a breathable atmosphere, Mandalorians might be able to go back to their ancestral planet and perhaps bring resources from neighboring planets to help rebuild their world.

His mistrust of Bo-Katan may stem from personal reasons as well, but we suspect that it has more to do with the ongoing disputes between their respective tribes and perhaps his perception that she was responsible for the Night of a Thousand Tears. Or perhaps he believes that he is the best Mando to rule—either inside or outside the Watch. In any case, the issue of Mandalorian infighting she brought up to Grogu last week is highlighted by his blatant opposition to her appearance (and Djarin's, for that matter). Any strategy to reclaim Mandalore might find him to be a formidable obstacle. Unless, of course, all of his prejudices and aspirations are overridden by his loathing of the Empire.

#3. The Cartwheels Have Been Removed.

Pershing aside, let's take a look at how the New Republic is attempting to reintegrate Imps into society. The amnesty program continues to dehumanize the Imperials by forcing them to use operating numbers (such as G68, L57, etc.) instead of their real identities. It's possible that this decision was made to provide comfort for Stormtroopers as they tried to develop more unique identities, but it seems to make things more difficult for officers and agents like G68, also known by the name Elia Kane, or Pershing.


Naturally, Kane seems to still be employed by Gideon, and her return is merely a front to conceal some information from the New Republic. For instance, she befriended Pershing solely to mislead him and accuse him of stealing illegal Imperial equipment to prevent his study from being valued by the Republic. Additionally, turning on the mind flayer probably erased any memories of Grogu and Gideon's real goals for the kid.

No matter the real reason behind Kane’s actions here, the fact she could pull any of it off reflects poorly on the amnesty program and leaves us to wonder if the Remnant is organized within the veneer of amnesty officers feigning rehabilitation for social worker droids. If that’s the case, the rehabilitation effort has more problems than just dehumanizing its participants.

#4. Odds And Ends.

With the arrival of Taungsday and Benduday in the episode, the galactic daily calendar begins to take shape in live-action Star Wars. According to the Wookiepedia entries already forming about the terms, Taungsday — named after one of Coruscant’s formerly native species — is the third day of the week.  The shot shifts from Pershing, who yells "It's a trap!" in the mind flayer room, to an excessively long take of the Mon Calamari doctor operating. The all-time classic and meme-worthy statement from Return of the Jedi by Mon Calamari Admiral Gial Ackbar (voiced by Erik Bauersfeld) is, of course, being referenced. The incident demonstrates The Mandalorian's sense of comedy yet again. Of course, how much you enjoy it will depend on your sense of comedy regarding Star Wars.
