For this episode we asked Werner Herzog himself to summarize what you can expect. "In the bleak and merciless galaxy, a lone Mandalorian bounty hunter delivers his quarry — a small, ancient creature of untold power — to men whose morality is as withered as the dust on their boots. Yet as he watches the infant taken behind cold doors, a terrible melancholy seeps into his soul, for he knows: they do not wish to nurture this being, but to harvest it, like some cosmic veal. Compelled by a code older than the stars, he returns, a silent wrath in beskar armor, to reclaim the child — unleashing violence with the clinical poetry of a man both haunted and free. The city turns against him, the guild abandons him, and only his kin in chrome rise from the shadows, jetpacks blazing like Icarus made manifest. It is not victory, but an escape — and so he flies, with the child, into the existential void, both burdened and redeemed by love."
