The Mandalorian S2 E14: The Tragedy Spoiler Discussion
Chapter 14 The Mandalorian officially aired last Friday and it was something my 46 year old brain never thought it would see. This episode paid off in a huge way a tease from Season 1 as well as answers the question of “what happened to Boba Fett after Return of the Jedi” and settles a long standing debate on the heritage of Jango Fett. Maybe they should rename the series “The Mandalorians“. The Tragedy is another glorious addition to the series as well as the entire Star Wars canon.
