The End Of The Mandalorian Season 2 Explained

The Mandalorian wrapped up its sophomore season on Disney +, and within its roughly 45 minute runtime, it packed plenty of action, surprises, and huge moments. Spoilers for chapter 16 of The Mandalorian, "The Rescue," ahead!

The episode picks up as Mando and his intrepid gang of pals embark on a risky mission to invade an imperial ship, rescue Grogu , and defeat Empire higher-up Moff Gideon. In the process they cause a whole lot of havoc, including smashing through the ship's front door with a stolen Imperial shuttle, and dispatching several platoons of Stormtroopers.

"Scuse me."

Separated from the group, Mando stalks through the imperial ship to find and free Grogu, and finds Moff Gideon already waiting there for him. The two end up deuling in hand to hand combat. After a pretty spectacular fight sequence, Mando bests Moff Gideon once and for all, bringing him to Bo-Katan, who wanted to defeat the villain herself, as a prize. However, in defeating Moff Gideon, Mando has created an interesting new problem; as the Imperial boss explains, according to Mandalorian custom, the Darksaber belongs only to whomever wins it in battle, and that determines who can sit on the throne of Mandalore.

Mando offers her the Darksaber several times, but she doesn't take it — and the crew is attacked by Dark Troopers before we find out how this conflict is resolved.

Mando seemingly already agreed to help Bo-Katan take back the planet of Mandalore back when he and Boba Fett approached her for help at the beginning of the episode, but their new conflict certainly throws a monkey wrench into the works. Clearly, these two allies will be at odds now that Mando has become the apparent Chosen One.
