The Mandalorian still doesn’t seem to know what to do with IG-11, the bounty-hunting assassin droid voiced by Taika Waititi. Despite a brief role in the series’ first season, IG made an irrevocable impact on Mandalorian fans. IG was first introduced as a ruthless killer, assigned to terminate the same asset that Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) has been sent to collect. Later, we learn that said asset is, in fact, Grogu — and though Djarin ends up destroying IG in order to protect the little guy, the droid does return in the Season 1 finale. The next time we see IG-11, he’s been reprogrammed by Kuiil (Nick Nolte) and tasked with protecting Grogu no matter what. His new directive eventually leads to an impressive sacrifice, and one of the strongest arcs in the series to date.
