The Mandalorian Season 2: 10 Biggest Moments And Reveals In "The Passenger"
2. Saved By The Rebels
The New Republic conveniently saves the day, blasting the spiders to pieces. This robs the scene of its tension as it's bordering on forced for them to have found the Mandalorian like this, and by no means a "big" reveal which would have helped elevate an episode that feels like 100% filler.
The former Rebels reveal that they've done their research on Din Djarin and know that he actually helped imprison three wanted criminals during that jailbreak, and even tried to save one of their own.
For that reason, they're going to allow him to go free. While he offers to exchange his bounty for their help repairing the Razor Crest, these soldiers clearly aren't corrupt and leave (telling him to make sure they're able to identify his ship next time).
Despite the reputation Mandalorians have in the Galaxy, that never appears to faze the New Republic, and while these "space cops" are something of a nuisance to the bounty hunter (he doesn't seem to be a fan), they're clearly a big improvement over the Empire.
