HTSF Ep 73: The Mandalorian Ch 19: The Convert

I think if you have two gravities and you push them together, they create an opposite gravity… and that’s how you get waterbeds. - Jack

In The Mandalorian Chapter 19, The Convert, the show briefly forgets it’s about a behelmeted space dad and instead follows our old pal from season one Dr. Pershing on Coruscant, where New Republic bureaucracy proves more terrifying than any Imperial remnant. Pershing tries to do good with his science, but gets peer-pressured into breaking rules by a suspiciously friendly ex-Imperial, and is rewarded with a mind-flayer session that’s definitely not part of the wellness program. The episode paints the New Republic as well-meaning but hilariously bogged down in office politics, recycled equipment, and moral gray zones. Meanwhile, Din and Bo-Katan meet up with the Covert and get forgiven for their dirty apostate sins.
