The Mandalorian has been very predictable across its first three episodes. 1 / 8
Mando going back for “Baby Yoda” is one example of this. 2 / 8
Constantly being saved at the last minute by his comrades is another. 3 / 8
But is this simply safe storytelling or a deliberate bit of narrative misdirection? 4 / 8
Mandalorian could be too important to Disney+ to do anything other than traditional storytelling. 5 / 8
Or it could be lulling viewers into a false sense of security… 6 / 8
…before dropping a big twist on them. Baby Yoda already somewhat did this. 7 / 8
Either way, the show has opened up new parts of Star Wars mythology already. 8 / 8
