6 predictions for The Mandalorian season 2 finale
Will some old Mandalorian and Jedi friends come to the rescue? Is Mando going to get a new ship? Will Thrawn appear after he was teased earlier this season?
The new season of The Mandalorian has been a wild ride from the start, and it will come to an end this Friday with the finale! There are many loose ends to tie up, especially the big confrontation with Moff Gideon and rescuing Grogu, but how will it go down?
Here are our predictions for what’s going to happen in The Mandalorian season 2 finale!
Mando and Gideon face-off
Since the reveal last season that Moff Gideon had the Darksaber, we’ve been waiting for a fight between him and Mando. However, the bounty hunter only had blasters and rifles, which wouldn’t have made for an interesting battle. Things changed when he got the beskar spear in “Chapter 13: The Jedi,” which we know is resistant to lightsabers thanks to the fight between Ahsoka Tano and the Magistrate.
Star Wars is known for its swordfights, or in its case, lightsaber fights, but since The Mandalorian doesn’t focus on the Jedi or the Sith, we might not ever see a lightsaber duel on the show. However, thanks to the beskar spear, we could have the next best thing as Mando could face off against Gideon’s Darksaber with the spear. Ending the season on a climactic duel screams Star Wars.
Gideon is the perfect villain for Mando as they are both fighting for the same thing: the fate of Grogu. This automatically adds emotional weight to any encounter between the two. Plus, we know Pedro Pascal is pretty handy with a spear given his time on Game of Thrones as Oberyn Martell. The Red Viper’s weapon of choice is a spear, and we got to see a glimpse of his skills during a fight against the Mountain in season 4. Of course, that fight ended horribly for Oberyn, but we don’t think Mando will meet the same fate (at least he has a helmet).
Hopefully, The Mandalorian will put Pascal’s training to use for a thrilling duel against Gideon in the season finale.
