Conversations between mom and son discussing the The Mandalorian Series with an emphasis on the female characters.
Gina Marcello, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor of Communication. She is an interdisciplinary scholar who is passionate about spending time with her son, Scott. Mom and son explain and discuss each episode. Scott is a sophmore in college studying to be a dentist.
Gina and Scott discuss season 1, episode 6 "The Prisoner" where we meet Xi'an, Mayfeld, Burg, Ran, Zero and Qin. We debate is this the worst or best episode. The female character of interest is Xi'an - a former colleague of Mandalorian who appears to taunt and bully him. We learn more about Mando's temperament and ability to escape what appears to be impossible odds.
In episode 5 of season 1, we return to Tatooine. The audience is introduced to two more female characters - Peli Motto and Fennec Shand. Peli is a warmhearted and pragmatic mechanic. Fennec is an elite mercenary and assassin. Gina and Scott debate who is the "coolest" female character so far, and explain what occurs in the episode. Both agree they do not lik Toro Calican, but it is okay because (spoiler alert) he ends up dead (we think) by the end of the episode.
