Is it a siege, or more of an infiltration? Regardless, The Mandalorian’s Chapter 12, “The Siege,” brings us back to Nevarro—and a plotline we thought we’d seen the end of.

This week, we’re diving back into Project Necromancer and all of its implications. We talk through the twin difficulties of transferring both consciousness and Force affinity, question who is directing Dr. Pershing’s efforts, and ask what the ultimate goal might be. We also give a performance review of Cara Dune as the Marshall, and spin theories on how Rangers of the New Republic might have gone.
