The Mandalorian (Season 2 Episode 8)
Summary
Bo-Katan and her fellow Mandalorian Koska Reeves agree to help rescue Grogu in exchange for Bo-Katan getting the Darksaber from Gideon and the Mandalorian considering her offer to help them liberate Mandalore. The group kidnaps Dr. Pershing and uses his shuttle to get close enough to crash land on Gideon’s cruiser, with Fett pretending to attack them in Slave I before attacking the Imperials. Bo-Katan, Koska, Fennec, and Dune fight through stormtroopers to the cruiser’s bridge. Meanwhile, the Mandalorian finds the Dark Troopers, defeats one of them with the Beskar spear, and ejects the rest into space. He fights Gideon with the spear and overpowers the Moff, making him the new rightful owner of the Darksaber. The Dark Troopers return, but they are all destroyed by Luke Skywalker, a Jedi that Grogu had contacted on Tython. The Mandalorian gives Grogu permission to go with Skywalker to complete his training. Later, Fett and Fennec travel to Jabba’s Palace on Tatooine where Fett kills Bib Fortuna and claims Jabba’s throne.
