Plot
Bo-Katan Kryze and her reconnaissance squad retreat from Moff Gideon's base. Upon returning to the Mandalorian flagship, Axe Woves sends the remaining Mandalorian fleet to reinforce the planetary troops, while he uses the ship as a decoy for attacking Imperial TIE squadrons. With assistance from Grogu, the Mandalorian escapes from captivity and seeks out Gideon, fighting off numerous beskar-enhanced stormtroopers along the way. The Mandalorian and Grogu discover cloning tanks, which are filled with clones of Gideon, and subsequently destroy them. Bo-Katan and the Armorer lead the Mandalorian reinforcements into the Imperial base and engage in a lengthy skirmish with Gideon's stormtroopers.
The Mandalorian confronts Gideon, who reveals that the clones would have been able to use the Force, but is unable to match Gideon's own suit of beskar armor. Bo-Katan arrives and duels Gideon with the Darksaber, allowing the Mandalorian to leave the fight and defeat Gideon's Praetorian Guards with Grogu. Gideon destroys the Darksaber, but is overpowered by the combined efforts of the Mandalorian, Bo-Katan, and Grogu. Woves rams the Mandalorian capital ship into the Imperial base and Gideon is consumed by the resulting blast; Grogu protects Bo-Katan and the Mandalorian from the blast with a Force barrier.
After the battle, the Great Forge at the heart of Mandalore is restarted and the Mandalorian formally adopts Grogu as "Din Grogu" (after the Mandalorian's birth name "Din Djarin"), allowing him to become his apprentice. Afterwards, the Mandalorian takes up honest contract work with Carson Teva and moves into a cabin on the outskirts of Nevarro's capital, as previously offered to him by Greef Karga, while IG-11 is rebuilt by the Anzellan mechanics to serve as Nevarro's new marshal.
