Couldn't believe how naive this episode was. So many flaws..
So, in this episode Mando and a prisoner steal a truck full with highly explosive rhydonium which the Empire is mining. Some pirates are attacking the convoy and blowing up the trucks instead of stealing them.
Why I am talking about stealing? Well, because it seems that rhydonium is something very valuable for the Empire. Why is that? Because when Mando and the prisoner reached the refinery with the only survived truck - they've been welcomed as war heroes, as Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum after blowing up the aliens' mothership in "Independence Day". Our two "heroes" been applauded and congratulated by all the troopers in the hangar with words like "I can't believe they did it!", "Bringing glory to the Empire!", "I can't believe they pulled that off!"...... Instead of mourning their fallen fellow stormtroopers..
But lets get back to these transport trucks. So, the pirates are blowing up trucks every day, for who knows how long, but the Empire sends only two troopers, without taking any precautions at least with the panels - which can be opened by a wooden stick! And without putting any stormtroopers on top of the trucks to protect the cargo, and also without any other side support (as speeders) during the delivery! Despite there are hundreds of stormtroopers inside the refinery just hanging around doing nothing. Can it go more naive than this? Of course it can! Then followed those nonsensical "Independence Day" ovations which I already mentioned above.
Funny thing is also that, when they firstly observed the transportation - no trucks been blown up. Pirates appeared only when our heroes got involved. Ridiculous.
And the ridiculousness continues after that scene, it never stops. "In order to access the network, the terminal has to scan your face". So Mando brakes his code and removes his helmet! The terminal scans his face, and for some reason it gives him free access to Moff Gideon's ship location - despite Mando's face isn't registered in the Imperial database. How's that work?!?
In the next scene we see something really unusual for Disney Wars - they portrayed an Empire officer as a smart individual. He started to interrogate the two "heroes" in a manner unnatural for the "dumb" empire military. Which actually reminded to a scene off "Inglorious Basterds".
Then our heroes escaped (of course) and been followed by only two tie-fighters. That's all the protection the Empire can afford for all the priceless rhydonium. This is more hilarious that ridiculous.
Ridiculous from start to finish, typical childish and naive story writing. Only some nice sounds and costumes that remind of Star Wars - for which I am giving this episode 2 stars instead of 1.
Wait, this episode continues with the ridiculousness - after they succeeded with their primary task, Mando and the tough chick decided to just release an Imperial prisoner, and will pronounce him as "died in the refinery explosion on Morak", which is who knows how far away from his prison location planet... What was he doing on that planet and refinery location, who brought him there and for what reason................ all these things we should just ignore and pretend the story was well written. Right, Disney?
And at the end Mando sends a hologram message to Moff Gideon threatening him like he has an army of 10000 Mandalorians to fight beside him. And Gideon seemed scared as a child who sees a ghost, without even saying a word, or laugh at the threat like a villain.
Well I did, I bursted in laugh at the end of this episode. :)))
My rating for this episode: 2/10.
