This is a huge moment for him: He previously mentioned that no living person has seen him without his helmet since he swore the creed - now Mayfeld and a bunch of (soon to be dead) Imperials have seen him. To access the Imperial terminal, Mando has to remove his helmet, giving us our second ever look at his handsome Pedro Pascal face. Mando goes against one of his core beliefs - never revealing his face - to save Grogu. Especially since our heroes are about to kill a whole bunch of them. It's pretty weird to be relieved at the sign of Imperials, and even stranger when they applaud the disguised Mayfeld and Mando for completing their mission. Just as they're about to be overwhelmed, TIE fighters and stormtroopers swoop in to save the day. Mando has to defend them from the pirate goons, and cheapy Imperial armor doesn't hold like his beskar, but he's such a badass that he manages to hold off long enough. This part of the episode feels like a Grand Theft Auto transport mission, with a gauge warning them to slow down if the rydonium gets too shaken up and with the pirates trying to blow them up. Mayfeld points out that Mando is clearly bending his "no taking off his helmet" rule (which he'll later break completely), and they have to very carefully drive the rydonium to the facility. To get into the refinery, Mayfeld and Mando have to swipe an armored vehicle transporting unstable rydonium, and Mando has to swap his sweet beskar armor for an icky trooper's outfit. It turns out that Mayfeld has to get the location of Gideon's cruiser from an Imperial terminal, and suggests they use the one at the Imperial refinery on Morak (it's secret, but Mayfeld knows secrets). Mayfeld and Mando reunite to go undercover. Maybe that's what the upcoming Rangers of the New Republic spinoff will be all about? Boring bureaucracy? Maybe she had to fill out a bunch of boring paperwork too, but we don't see that. Turns out it's a whole lot simpler than that - Cara just uses her authority as a New Republic official to take him out of there. When Mando mentioned getting Mayfeld out of prison, we all assumed this whole episode would be one big breakout operation, right? I know I did. This show is set around five years after Return of the Jedi. Chapter 15, titled The Believer, was directed and written by Rick Famuyiwa (who directed two episodes of season 1, including the one Mayfeld appeared in).īe warned, SPOILERS are about to break out.
