Some Beskar-armored peeps show up to save them, among them a familiar friend from the Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels animated series: Bo-Katan Kryze, played by Katee Sackhoff in live-action. (The Frog Man/Frog Lady reunion has to be one of 2020’s most emotional TV moments, right?) After that, Baby Yoda, unfortunately, is delivered some instant karma via a larger creature who tries to eat him. The story picks back up with Mando, Baby Yoda, and Frog Lady’s mission to deliver Baby Yoda’s leftovers to Frog Man. That’s all to say: Episode Three, “The Heiress,” was a blunt reminder that there’s quite literally hundreds of hours of Star Wars lore out there.


Episode One was ( mostly) a standalone, monster-of-the-week jam, and Episode Two, really, was the pilot episode of The Baby Yoda Sh0w. Like Baby Yoda drifting through the galaxy, halfway through sleepytime and hurling-through-the-atmosphere-in-flames time, we don’t blame you if Season Two of The Mandalorian lulled you into a bit of a comfort zone during its first two entries.
