The Mandalorian 2.6 Review - 7 Ups And 1 Down From Chapter 14
1. Grogu Using The Force
Lucasfilm
Poor Grogu. But also... YES Grogu!
With The Child now sadly onboard Gideon's vessel, he does everything he can to stop his captors from getting close to him. We see him use the Force to ward them off - potentially in a way that seems almost Dark Side-y in nature - until he collapses from the strain and Gideon is able to put him in cuffs.
I have no idea how the Empire has developed such tiny cuffs, but the image of Grogu alone in his cell may go down as 2020's saddest TV moment.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
