Episode 4: Sanctuary

In my Humanites class we are doing a project on Star Wars (more on that later). One of the assignments was to write a review on one of the; movies, tv show episodes, games, books, and others. I choose to write my review on one of the newest episodes in the series, “The Mandalorian”. So here is my review.

In the newest Star Wars tv series, “the Mandalorian” has a lot going for it, but the same cannot be said for Chapter 4: Sanctuary. In this episode the Mandalorian and baby Yoda travel to the planet Sorgan where they meet an ex rebel, and a tribe of krill farmers. This episode is quite confusing because near the beginning of the episode the krill farmer tribe is raided, they then ask the Mandalorian and the rebel turned mercenary Cara Dun to help them fight off the raiders, soon after Cara and the Mandalorian go to investigate, they follow footprints with heat signatures, which long should’ve disappeared, because the village looks like it has been fully repaired which would not be possible to do in the thirty or so minutes that the heat trail would stay there.

Another thing that adds confusion to the story is that when tracking the raiders, they find the foot prints of a AT-ST Walker,

which is not seen in the original raid. When they tell the villagers about it they have no idea what they are talking about, which leads you to believe that there is a small pocket of storm troopers left, like we see in episode 3.

Later on in the episode as they are preparing for the next raid, the Mandalorian tells the village folk to dig a hole in at bottom of one of the krill farming ponds so they can trap the AT-ST. The story line is predictable enough that you can tell even at this point that the trap isn’t going to work, and as later shown in the story, it doesn’t. This chapter of the story is definitely the worst, and hopefully there will be better episodes in the future.

So yeah, episode four is definitely not my favourite but you should definitely check out The Mandalorian if you havent already.
