He's there to grill an Abyssin crime lord named Gor Koresh (John Leguizamo) for information on the whereabouts of other Mandalorians, but in typical Mando fashion, things go south fast. The episode's opening is a promising departure from what we've seen previously, with Mando swaggering into a fight club located in refreshingly urban surroundings - a stark contrast to Season 1's desolate deserts and lush forest landscapes. While there's plenty of meaty and fascinating world-building to be found in "The Marshal," the episode still falls into some of the same Sarlacc pits traps as Season 1, namely an over-reliance on easter eggs and familiar storytelling beats in place of actual plot momentum. The Mandalorian has finally returned for Season 2, and while it's great to have new Star Wars to speculate over, it doesn't seem like our titular hero or the showrunners telling his story have learned much from Mando's first outing.
