It was written by showrunner Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, and directed by Rick Famuyiwa. It was released on Disney+ on April 12, 2023, and received positive reviews.

Plot

Moff Gideon is informed by Elia Kane of the Mandalorians' intent to retake their planet. Gideon relays this information to the Shadow Council, a group of Imperial remnant warlords. He requests reinforcements from Commandant Brendol Hux and questions Captain Pellaeon on the absence of Grand Admiral Thrawn, suggesting that the Council should choose a new leader.

Reassembling on Nevarro, Bo-Katan Kryze unites the Mandalorian clans and prepares a recon party to explore the surface of Mandalore and locate the Great Forge. Prior to leaving, Greef Karga presents the Mandalorian with IG-12: a rebuilt version of IG-11 which has been turned into a pilotable exoskeleton to be controlled by Grogu. The Mandalorian hesitantly allows Grogu to use IG-12.

On Mandalore, the group meets up with another clan, who is loyal to Bo-Katan. Bo-Katan admits that she surrendered herself and the Darksaber to Gideon shortly after the Night of a Thousand Tears, hoping that her people would be spared from further harm. She reveals that after her surrender, Gideon betrayed her and continued to bomb Mandalore. The clan directs Bo-Katan's search party to the location of the Great Forge, while the Armorer takes its weakened members back to the fleet to be tended to.

The search group finds the Great Forge but is ambushed by Gideon's beskar-enhanced stormtroopers and lured into a trap. Axe Woves sees an opening above and flies towards it to warn the Mandalorian fleet orbiting the planet of the attack and to reinforce the others below. The Mandalorian is captured by a beskar-clad Gideon, who reveals his intent to create a new army of Dark Troopers and complete the Great Purge of Mandalore. He attempts to kill the search party, but Bo-Katan uses the Darksaber to make an escape for the group, with Paz Vizsla staying behind to buy them time to warn the Mandalorian fleet of the approaching attack. Vizsla fights off the stormtroopers but is killed by Gideon's Praetorian Guards.
