The Mandalorian – Chapter 6: The Prisoner

The Mandalorian contacts his old friend Ran. Ran has hired a crew consisting of ex-Imperial sharpshooter Migs Mayfeld, the Devaronian strongman Burg, the droid pilot Zero, and the knife-wielding Twi’lek woman Xi’an to rescue her brother Qin, a prisoner of the New Republic. Upon arrival on the prison ship, they fight through security droids and make it to the control room where an inadvertent escalation causes a New Republic soldier to trigger a beacon alerting the New Republic. Migs tries to kill the soldier, but is stopped by the Mandalorian who attempts to calm the latter, only for the soldier to be finally killed by Xi’an. The crew rescues Qin but they betray the Mandalorian, placing him in the cell where Qin was being kept.

The Mandalorian escapes by ripping the arm of one of the security droids which he uses as a key to open the door. He soon isolates, and defeats each crew member, then confronts Qin, apparently having killed the rest of the crew. Qin convinces the Mandalorian to spare him and complete the mission he was assigned in the first place. Zero who discovered the Child and wanted to capture him is destroyed by the Mandalorian, who manages to escape the prison ship with Qin and delivers him to Ran in exchange for the money. Ran attempts to send a gunship after the Mandalorian to kill him, but the Mandalorian having anticipated this placed the New Republic beacon on Qin after both escaped, leading a trio of X-wing fighters to Ran’s station. The X-wings open fire on the hangar. Lastly, Mayfeld, Burg, and Xi’an are shown in a cell on the prison transport, nursing their wounds, having been spared.
