The Mandalorian season 2 episode 6. A relatively convincing new chapter, which once again advances the plot. Jon Favreau entrusts the realization of this new episode to the great Robert Rodriguez, who takes the opportunity to bring back a cult character: Boba Fett.
Boba Fett finally springs into action
Introduced at the end of the very first episode of this season 2, Boba Fett was highly anticipated in the plot of The Mandalorian, but was very rare on screen. We obviously wondered when Jon Favreau would decide to put the bounty hunter on the front of the stage. This is now done since the son of Jango Fett is determined to recover his armor. And it's clearly nice to see the character played by Temuera Morrison return to the screen. Especially in the guise of this actor, who played Jango Fett in Attack of the Clones. Almost twenty years later, he is back in the skin of the son: Boba Fett. The circle is complete. 
And it's a return impactful enough to convince. Temuera Morrison is imposing in the skin of the character. His aging side brings another dimension to this cult character introduced in the original trilogy. Jon Favreau offers this anti-hero a well-deserved second chance. And when he arrives dressed in his cult armor, dezinging Stormtroopers with a sledgehammer, it's still quite enjoyable.
The Mandalorian: A format too short
But as on the previous chapters, the complaint is always the same: the duration of the episode is too short. Jon Favreau exaggerates to deliver a final cut of 30 minutes. Especially at the rate of one episode per week, Disney could have made an effort on the length of the chapters. Because Boba Fett deserved more than half an hour to shine. Especially when the production decides to call Robert Rodriguez to direct. The man behind films like Sin City, A Night in Hell or Machete, with his overflowing personality and "Tarantinesque" use of violence, has difficulty expressing himself here. So certainly, there are some helmets of Stormtroopers that shatter, but we are far from the cartoonish and stylized violence of the artist. Disney obliges, its genre so representative is diminished, refined, and exists on the screen only in very rare moments. And it's still a shame to call on this type of filmmaker if it's not to develop his cinematographic sense, his style and his artistic vision. 
There are still some scenario elements to remember from this new opus. Baby Yoda managed to send his message into the Force, which will certainly have captured the attention of many Jedi. This suggests a hallucinating final climax. Mando has his back to the wall, and has never been on his knees since the beginning of the series. However, the conclusion of this season 2 seems to follow the same pattern as the first season. Baby Yoda is in danger, and Din Djarin has two episodes to rescue him from the clutches of the Empire. It remains to be seen if the outcome will take the same turn…. The Mandalorian episode 6. If the episode is pleasant and still advances the plot a little, we regret the format too short. And then, calling Robert Rodriguez for so little, it's still a shame… Remains an indisputable mastery of the subject and the universe. https://youtu.be/eW7Twd85m2g
