Chapter 13: The Jedi

"Chapter 13: The Jedi" is the fifth episode of the second season of the American television series The Mandalorian. It stars Pedro Pascal as the Mandalorian, a bounty hunter trying to return "The Child" to his people, the Jedi. The episode is part of the Star Wars franchise, set after the events of Return of the Jedi (1983), and was written and directed by executive producer Dave Filoni.

The episode co-stars Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano, a character that Filoni co-created for the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It is the character's live-action debut, which Filoni planned as a way to reveal the Child's real name, Grogu. Dawson was cast after fans suggested her for the role years before this live-action appearance was planned. Filoni put a lot of care into the character's design, and composer Ludwig Göransson reprised Kevin Kiner's theme for the character from The Clone Wars. The episode was filmed using the series' video wall technology so Filoni could control the lighting, and he cited the films of Akira Kurosawa as an influence.

"Chapter 13: The Jedi" was released on the streaming service Disney+ on November 27, 2020, to estimated high viewership and positive reviews. Critics highlighted Filoni's writing and directing, the live-action introduction of Ahsoka, and Dawson's portrayal of the character. The episode has been nominated for and won several awards, including receiving eight Primetime Emmy Award nominations. A spin-off series titled Ahsoka was announced in December 2020, written by Filoni and with Dawson and Diana Lee Inosanto reprising their roles.

On the forest planet of Corvus, Ahsoka Tano confronts Imperial Magistrate Morgan Elsbeth, ruler of the city of Calodan, and her lieutenant Lang. Ahsoka gives Elsbeth one day to surrender and divulge her master's location.

The Mandalorian and "The Child" arrive at Calodan in search of Ahsoka, as directed by Bo-Katan Kryze. They are taken directly to Elsbeth, who offers the Mandalorian a beskar spear in exchange for killing Ahsoka.

The Mandalorian finds Ahsoka and she communicates with the Child using The Force. She learns that his name is Grogu and he was raised at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. After the Jedi Order fell, Grogu was rescued and has been suppressing his powers to survive.

Ahsoka refuses to train Grogu, wary of the path he could take due to his attachment to the Mandalorian and the fear and anger inside him. The Mandalorian asks if she will help get Grogu training in exchange for him helping Ahsoka confront Elsbeth.

Ahsoka and the Mandalorian storm the city, killing all the guards and freeing the citizens. The Mandalorian kills Lang, while Ahsoka engages in a duel with Elsbeth. Ahsoka defeats Elsbeth and demands she divulges the location of her master, Grand Admiral Thrawn.
