'And when they realize that, they're gonna welcome us back with open arms.' 'You see, boys, everybody thinks they want freedom, but what they really want is order,' says an unbearably smug Hess.

#STAR WARS SONIC CHARGE FULL#

Greasy Imperial officer Valin Hess (Richard Brake, whom you might remember shooting Bruce Wayne's parents in Batman Begins) was Mayfeld's commanding officer during Operation Cinder, and was seemingly in full support of the atrocities on the planet Burnin Konn - which left Mayfeld's squad and thousands of civilians dead. Much of this event took place in Battlefront 2's excellent story mode and Marvel's Shattered Empire comics.ДЇennec Shand and Cara Dune provide sniper support. The reasoning was that the Empire and its enemies couldn't be allowed to outlive Palpatine, the big ol' narcissist.The real objective was to sow chaos and disrupt the formation of a replacement government, in addition to radicalizing the remaining Imperials before they were reformed into the First Order (paving the way for Palpatine's return). He left orders that satellites orbiting various Imperial planets cause electrical storms and other wild weather events to wreck those worlds - like immediate, catastrophic climate change. We learn that Mayfeld was traumatized by his role in Operation Cinder, a nasty Imperial attack carried out in the aftermath of Emperor Palpatine's 'death' in Return of the Jedi. Mayfeld nicknames him 'Brown Eyes' upon seeing his face, in a nice callback to his request that Mando take off his helmet so they could see his eyes (back in season 1). Pascal is pretty excellent here too, with his portrayal giving us the right mix of discomfort and hesitancy. However, Mando is probably beginning to doubt that rule, since fellow Mandalorian Bo-Katan Kryze revealed that he's part of a group of religious Mandalorian zealots, and she and her team were fine with taking off their helmets. This is a huge moment for him: He previously mentioned that no living person has seen him without his helmet since he swore the creed - now Mayfeld and a bunch of (soon to be dead) Imperials have seen him. To access the Imperial terminal, Mando has to remove his helmet, giving us our second ever look at his handsome Pedro Pascal face.

Mando goes against one of his core beliefs - never revealing his face - to save Grogu. Especially since our heroes are about to kill a whole bunch of them. It's pretty weird to be relieved at the sign of Imperials, and even stranger when they applaud the disguised Mayfeld and Mando for completing their mission. Just as they're about to be overwhelmed, TIE fighters and stormtroopers swoop in to save the day. Mando has to defend them from the pirate goons, and cheapy Imperial armor doesn't hold like his beskar, but he's such a badass that he manages to hold off long enough. This part of the episode feels like a Grand Theft Auto transport mission, with a gauge warning them to slow down if the rydonium gets too shaken up and with the pirates trying to blow them up. Mayfeld points out that Mando is clearly bending his 'no taking off his helmet' rule (which he'll later break completely), and they have to very carefully drive the rydonium to the facility. To get into the refinery, Mayfeld and Mando have to swipe an armored vehicle transporting unstable rydonium, and Mando has to swap his sweet beskar armor for an icky trooper's outfit. It turns out that Mayfeld has to get the location of Gideon's cruiser from an Imperial terminal, and suggests they use the one at the Imperial refinery on Morak (it's secret, but Mayfeld knows secrets). Mayfeld and Mando reunite to go undercover. Maybe that's what the upcoming Rangers of the New Republic spinoff will be all about? Boring bureaucracy? Maybe she had to fill out a bunch of boring paperwork too, but we don't see that. Turns out it's a whole lot simpler than that - Cara just uses her authority as a New Republic official to take him out of there. When Mando mentioned getting Mayfeld out of prison, we all assumed this whole episode would be one big breakout operation, right? I know I did. This show is set around five years after Return of the Jedi. Chapter 15, titled The Believer, was directed and written by Rick Famuyiwa (who directed two episodes of season 1, including the one Mayfeld appeared in).Д«e warned, SPOILERS are about to break out.
