We're on a trajectory to get "The Child" into the hands of a proper Jedi who can train and harass his gift. All while trying to navigate our way through the traps set by Moff Gideon in our discussion for the second season of The Mandalorian. This season redefines legacy for a series as we get Boba Fett, Bo-Katan, and Ahsoka Tabo all within this season. Plus, we'll see some old friends from season one join us as well. There is a loud to fanboy or fangirl about in this season, this Disney+ Original Series also challenges us with its themes of mental health. Whether we're addressing loss, identity, cults or purpose - this episode has it all. We're joined by psychoanalyst, family and marriage counselor, and podcaster, Justine Mastin.
