As the sixth episode of The Mandalorian’s second season opens, everything seems to be going our heroes’ way. Thanks to Ahsoka Tano, Mando has a clear destination in mind and seems so sure of his mission’s success he’s already planning how to say goodbye to Grogu (the little creature previously — if incorrectly — known as Baby Yoda). Mando’s delighted at the way Grogu now responds to his newly unearthed name and he’s steeling himself for their inevitable goodbye. “You’re very special, kid,” he tells his little friend. “We’re going to find that place you belong and they’re going to take real good care of you.” Are those tears welling up beneath that beskar helmet? We may never know.
