Violence
The episode includes fantasy violence that is similar to past seasons of The Mandalorian and wider Star Wars universe. This type of violence isn’t very realistic, threatening or detailed but it might be scary for younger tamariki.
A crocodile-like creature attacks a Mandalorian ceremony. It eats a few of the Mandalorians while the rest fight back with their futuristic weapons. The creature is relentless and the group are unable to stop it until Din Djarin and Grogu arrive and shoot it in their Starfighter ship.
A group of pirates threaten a newly established civil society. Din Djarin shoots them down but later runs into the bigger group and is chased through space.
