The Mandalorian Episode 5 Breakdown HE'S BACK

episode starts of with high magistrate carga on navarro 7 as the pirate ship looms over his town’s skies, as Gorian Shard hails him. Shard makes fun of Greef and says basically that he’s gone soft and rich, that he’s not the man he used to be. He blames Greef for killing his pirates in cold blood, doing the typical pirate thing where they manipulate and twist scenarios. Greef says it’s not a good idea to fire on Navarro 7 as he’s connected, and Shard laughs, telling him he’s not part of the new republic, nor is moff gideon protecting him anymore. Shard blows up the town of navarro and greef takes his townspeople to the outskirts of the city as he calls the new republic for help.

we see the new republic HQ as they’re hanging out and playing pool, we meetup with carson teva, new republic pilot from season 2 who offered cara dune a job. He plays the hologram from greef carga who’s asking for his help. Zebb walks up to him, and this is his live action debut. Zebb was in Rebels and he was part of the crew with ezra, hera, kanan, and chopper. It’s great seeing him in live action, and i think his appearance is perhaps a foreshadowing of ezra and thrawn. In fact, maybe he’s just stationed there to get intel on moff gideon’s transport time and date, so that sabine could escort him out and get information on where Thrawn is, leading them to Ezra. This theory comes from one of you during the watch party last night, and your reasoning for this was because beskar was found on the ship, this beskar could be sabine’s. Personally, I think it was mandalorians related to death watch, loyal to maul.

Carson Teva shows the hologram of Greef Carga to corsucant’s new republic HQ, colonel tuttle which is like the main center for it. He denies him approval to help, as G86 walks in after seeing Carson in there. She is still playing the new republic, and i think she still works for moff gideon. Carson mentions moff gideon having never made it to trial, and G86 is seen looking down in discomfort. She says a pretty imperial thing, by saying Navarro 7 may now see the importance of joining the new republic by essentially suffering. New republic denies help to nevarro 7, and carson takes it upon himself to go find the mandalorian. He tracks them down via R5’s transponder. He tells them about Greef Carga’s message, and then leaves.
Din speaks to the clan, holding the armorer’s hammer, which is like a talking stick type of thing. Mando pleads his case to save Greef Carga, who he says has had a change of heart against mandalorians, and that imperials were the ones who decimated the mandalorians, not Carga. He proposes they all live on navarro 7 as Greef has offered him land, and may offer them land too.

Carson Teva comes across an abandoned Lamda T4A shuttle. It looks heavily attacked. He speaks with the New Republic, and they find out its the ship that transported moff gideon. The ship has no survivors yet moff gideon’s body is missing. The flight crew are frozen from space. Carson Teva notices something embedded in the wall, it’s a piece of beskar, and they deduce that moff gideon was broken out of there by mandalorians. So, this could be one of two things. Either death watch, a very rugged and violent group of mandalorians did indeed break moff gideon out, which is believable since he did hold the dark saber at one point, meaning he accrued a following of some kind, a following that may still be very loyal to him. Or the other option is that he framed mandalorians by putting a piece of beskar there to throw the new republic off their tracks. The third option here is that he’s just paying mandalorians with beskar, as we know he has tons. I personally think he actually was freed from mandalorians who were perhaps loyal to darth maul once, and now loyal to moff gideon. I think once Bo Katan goes to unite these kinds of mandalorians, she will come to a very rude awakening and perhaps be captured herself, luring Din Djarin out to Moff Gideon, who will challenge him to a duel and this time win, claiming the dark saber for himself once again, and him being the one to rule all of the mandalorians.
