Another great episode! Bill Burr was even better in this one than he was in Chapter 6 and it was a nice setup for the season 2 finale.

A pretty decent episode, brilliant to have Bill Burr back and we get some really great moments with Pedro Pascal this week, lots of action but also a very human and emotional episode at its core too. Overall very few complaints. 8/10

Good episode!

A character has redeemed him self of his past! A character has to make a sacrifice not of death but of faith to get information! We now have two female strong characters and two Mando's A new direction many be?

Kind of a filler episode but it was easily the best one. I actually liked Mayfield in this episode. The bomb from the Attack of the Clones was a nice touch. The ending gave me CHILLS. I am super excited for the finale!

Going in to Chapter 15, I was hesitant that Disney would take Baby Yoda's separation as an excuse to conduct a season wide scavenger hunt, which at the highest surface level, this episode may seem to become, however through some of the most well shot action sequences in modern history, an immaculate attention to character development, and a genuine purpose for each character to fulfill, Episode 15: The Believer, is one of the best pieces of Star Wars content in recent memory, period. From the start, character motivations are clear and concise, with no actions seeming out of place or unjustified in relation to the plot, of which occurs much more than I prefer on this show due to story holes and an unwillingness to allow the series to be carried by it's characters as opposed to its cameos. For instance, Boba Fett is not portrayed as a mythic figure here, but is given a believable reason for assisting the team, and is competent without feeling invincible because of it. Bill Burr's character is given some fantastic subtle backstory as well, that ends up showing actual impact on the narrative as a whole. The Empire also sees itself as very subjective in terms of how pure or evil they really may be. Characters are glad to see them in situations that benefit them, yet show an intense hatred toward those very personnel when their true colors are shown. This is screenwriting as it was always meant to be. Plot facilitated by character with both given equal attention to affect one another. Rick Famuyiwa marvels in his ability to balance solid coverage of a scene so the audience is aware of the geography, but allows for tight shots and action beats to carry a scene, creating noticeable tension and elimination the possibility of a easy out. Morals are questioned, the sides between right and wrong blur, and The Mandalorian is truly depicted and determined to save his child, no matter how many bodies will be spilled along the way. Cinema at its best is able to immerse an audience through intelligent cinematography and plot beats, while allowing them to connect with character's whose motives genuinely challenge their own beliefs. I hereby give this episode my full stamp of approval, and simply hope that Disney understands just how vital this progression and weight truly is. As the most professionally written and directed episode in the series thus far, I can now go to sleep at night.

Even the Stormtroopers semi-functioned. Less pathetic than usual. Big mistake in TV series to make them so bad shots and soldiers. See prior episode, cringeworthy Stormtroopers.

The Believer is easily the episode with the weakest writing in the entire season. It feels as if the writers had just an idea for one cool action scene, and failed to write a cohesive plot around it. There are a lot of loose elements in this episode that never really come together in a satisfying manner, and certain plot points feel horribly contrived. This episode highlights one of the main weaknesses of the show as a whole (the weak writing), and puts it under a microscope for all to see.

Even more odd is that the episode leaves the main characters exactly where they were at the start of the episode, making this whole episode feel like a redundant fetch-quest. It feels like such a waste of time, considering we are one episode away from the season finale. They could be setting up the villain, but instead the writers waste time with more planet hopping. Can someone punch up these scripts for a change?

Overall great episode. I really like the character development we got on Mayfield. Now it's waiting for next week.

This episode since the opening scene was hilarious. It then took a dark turn near the end, and I love the fact that Mayfield got redeemed. If people don't like him after this episode, not sure what to tell you. In conclusion this was an action packed episode. I can't be the only one that thought about Mad Max Fury Road in the pirates scene. Minor complaint- stormtroopers hit everything all of a sudden after Mayfield and Mando arrive, but they historically have bad aiming (even near the ending of this episode). Not gonna lie it felt a little underwhelming compared to the previous two episodes, but still mangages to be action packed and with a cliffhanger that will have you rallying for the season finale.

This is how I was hoping the Solo movie and the sequels would be. Every Star Wars fan's wet dream! Can't wait for the finale!

Can't believe episodes are this short yet so whole! Just give carte blanche to the people behind this show, regarding any future Star Wars movies and shows. Mayfeld is definitely my new favorite character for the moment; for his humor and sincerity in this episode; but their righteous rebel group are all badasses and likable. I believe the title of this episode is maybe a reference to how Mando now believes that there is nothing above saving Grogu's life. Make a Star Wars "Mayfield talks back and shoots back" show!

OH, MY, GOD !!!

How can I describe what I just saw ? This is... truly the best Star Wars content I have seen since the Empire Strike Back 40 years ago ! I just watched the episode and I still have chills, my emotions have peaked at a point I didnt even know were possible !! I cant even remember the last time I was that excited after watching any movie or TV show.

The only words that can respect the quality of episode 15 The Believer are : ABOVE PERFECT !!

I will keep it short, everything got me hooked to the end and when it finished I just wanted more and more ! Every moment watching this, I was blown away by how good and amazing it was. The best, simply the best Star Wars we had in decades. I have no Tattoos but if I had to get one, it would be : The Believer

Now I am gonna go watch it again. Happy episode everyone !!

In this latest new episode of 'The Mandalorian', Migs Mayfield now teams up with The Mandalorian, Cara Dune, Fennec Shand, and Boba Fett to plan a mission to rescue Grogu from Moff Gideon and the Empire.

I must say, this episode is very much awesome!
