The Mandalorian Season 2, Chapter 9: Cowboys and Indians

The WhoDatJedi podcast celebrates its 50th episode with a review of the Season 2 premiere of "The Mandalorian," the live-action Star Wars series on Disney+. Your hosts -- Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) -- dive into the ninth chapter, "The Marshal," doing a quick summation and review of where we are. They also talk about all of the callbacks and references in this episode -- including the welcome references to the prequels and books -- examine new character Cobb Vanth, discuss the Mandalorian's growth and evolution as a character, attack the space western tropes (including the role of the sand people as "space Native Americans"), and conclude things with speculation about the surprise cameo at the end. Best of all: there's no election talk whatsoever!
