The Mandalorian 2.7 Review - 6 Ups And 1 Down From Chapter 15
2. The Juggernaut Attack
Lucasfilm
Rick Famuyiwa fit plenty of great action sequences into this episode, but the highlight had to be the attack on Migs' and Din's Juggernaut.
Everything is nice and tranquil to begin with, but then we're treated to a cacophony of Imperial chatter over comms and see a huge explosion up ahead. Din and Migs proceed to the same area and come under attack from a group of pirates. Famuyiwa frames it like an old school train robbery almost - only, instead of any stealing occurring, the bandits are just out to blow the Imperials up for good.
There are lots of great moments with Din fending off his attackers, but special mention goes to the part where he raises his arm in defence, thinking he's wearing beskar, only to be met with the terrifying tackiness that is Imperial armour.
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.
