Episode 3 of The Mandalorian Season 3 mercifully bucks the episodic “fetch quest” model we saw in Episodes 1 and 2. In fact, Mando barely appears, only bookending the episode with Bo-Katan Kryze and the other Mandalorians. We got a different protagonist in Episode 3, and the result was surprising. After two seasons of the same honorable Mandalorian helming the action, should this inspire more diversions?
