Nick Gindraux’s concept art variant cover for The Mandalorian #1 (July 2022)

Concept art by Nick Gindraux for The Mandalorian, Season 1, Episode 6, The Prisoner. The Mandalorian is depicted firing down a corridor as battle droids approach. Cells are visible along the corridor.
Din Djarin sighed. He had hoped this would be a quick job and that he and the child would be able to gather some intel from Ran and find someplace safe to hunker down. It became clear that nothing like that was going to happen. Dank Farrik.
First, he thought he was just going to take Ran’s team somewhere and just drop them off. He had done that often enough when they originally worked together. To find that he wasn’t even going to pilot the Razor Crest was not welcome information. It hadn’t been easy to acquire and it would be even more trouble to replace if anything happened to it.
Second, he didn’t find out that they were extracting a prisoner from a New Republic prison vessel until it was too late to refuse. Picking someone up from a rival group was as different from springing a guy from a New Republic prison ship as the Razor Crest was different from an Old Imperial Dreadnaught. This job just went from bad to awful.
Finally, the crew. Uff. The Mandalorian was surprised that any of them had managed to avoid being held in a New Republic prison transport themselves. They were a hot mess. One was violent, one was just a mass of muscle, another was trigger happy, and the worst one was a reprogrammed protocol droid. What had he signed himself up for when he contacted Ran and asked if they could work something out that was mutually beneficial? This was not what he had hoped to be doing and he certainly hadn’t expected to expose the child to such a motley crew.
At least he could control for that. He’d left the little one in his cabin and locked the door. He wasn’t going to open it and let any of them see his small companion. Based on what Ran said to him about getting crosswise with the guild made him worry that his old ‘friend’ knew all about what happened on Nevarro and that meant he couldn’t be trusted to know about the kid or anything else. Just like old times.
Old times had been one nightmare after another with all of the old crew doing one dangerous, often stupid thing, after another. Sure, Ran had made credits and Din Djarin had as well, since even his old armor had protected him from the worse of their misadventures, including Xian’s persistent testing of his reflexes with her knives. But, there were a number of good reasons they had parted ways.
Ran had shorted his cut of the take on more than one job. Xian had cut up so many members of their team that Din Djarin spent as much of his time patching people back together as he did planning missions and providing cover fire. And Xian’s brother, Qin was just as much a problem. He was just slightly more cheerful while he picked locks and subdued guards than any of the rest of them. A Mandalorian bounty hunter was expected to display more discipline. More consideration. More sense. A lot more sense.
Dank Farrik.
Then Burg, the big muscle for their team decided to be nosey. Well, Din Djarin had shut that down as quickly as he could. But not before the door to his cabin was opened and there was the child. Standing up and carefully observing each one of them. He could only imagine what the child might think seeing them all. When he was that age, well, he hadn’t actually reached the child’s reported age yet, but when he was a youngling, he hadn’t met anyone who carried weapons with so little concern. At least, not until he’d been saved by the Mandalorians on Aq Vetina.
That brought back memories he didn’t want to think about. Including his general concerns about the child he’d decided to protect. Had he known his parents? Had he any idea where he came from? Was he an orphan or abandoned or did he have a family who was frantically trying to locate him? The Mandalorian had no idea but he certainly didn’t want this group of people to think about the child in any way at all.
“What is it? Like a pet, or something?”
Mayfeld asked the question to see if he could push the Mandalorian’s buttons.
“Sure. Something like that.”
Easier to pretend the child was a pet then have them think he was anything else. Although as soon as he said that, the Mandalorian was certain that the child had made a face or a sound that indicated his disapproval of that whole notion. It wasn’t the first time that the bounty hunter was happy that he wore a helmet that shielded his face. The notion that small being was scolding him about a necessary cover story was just too funny. He couldn’t imagine the grief he’d take from Xian or Mayfeld if they had seen his grin or his eyes crinkle at their corners or saw how red he got in the face from trying not to laugh. It wasn’t worth it and it wouldn’t protect the child.
After that moment of levity that no one knew about except for him, the Razor Crest dropped out of hyperspace and he and the child and everyone else went bouncing around the storage bay. That wretched droid didn’t give a circuit relay about what was happening to the actual living members of their party. Which reminded him that he didn’t want that thing to know anything about the child. Nothing. After what happened with the IG unit on Arvala-7, the Mandalorian didn’t trust the protocol droid as far as the child could… no, as far as he could throw him.
He spoke to the child quickly and quietly and gave him a rations pack to eat, while the others were preparing to board the vessel they had landed on. He hoped he wouldn’t find it used as a paint pallet again with assorted symbols decorating the walls of the cabin like the last time he’d had to leave the little one alone for a few hours. The walls cleaned up pretty easily, but getting the little one out of that coverall to bathe him and then trying to get him back into the thing had been a true trial of Mandalorian perseverance.
He had hoped he wouldn’t have to survive that trial again for a couple of days instead of a mere twenty hours. Maybe he should get them a pet. Then it could clean the little one up when food was used as paint. It was worth a try, right?

Concept art by Nick Gindraux
Grogu wondered where he could find information on Sith colds and flus. He really didn’t think it was normal for Jedi or anyone else to just randomly hear the Emperor talking to them. Plus, the last time Grogu had checked, the Emperor was gone. Done. Finished. Never to be heard from again. Never. To. Be. Heard. From. Again.
So why was he talking to Grogu? Clearly the Mandalorian hadn’t heard him say ‘do it’. His dad had just kept humming and working on the stuff he’d been working on. Grogu didn’t even want to mention to him that anything strange had happened. He knew his dad. He’d get worried, then anxious, and then he’d be dragging them both around the galaxy looking for people who could verify that the Emperor was really gone and that Grogu had nothing to worry about.
If the Mandalorian did that, there was no way that he and Grogu would be back to their cabin on Nevarro in time for the Clan Mudhorn Festival. Nope. They’d probably find themselves on Coruscant or Mustafar or even Dathomir. Grogu didn’t even want to go to Naboo or Tatooine to figure this problem out.
Maybe he could just use his datapad and run some searches and get answers to his questions that way. He didn’t think his dad would mind if he just sat still for a few minutes and looked up some information. He could always tell Din Djarin that he was trying to find his old mentor or come up with ideas for some more of the flats he’d been building.
He went to his room to fetch the small device and was instantly annoyed. It was in his room. That was good. But he hadn’t put it on its charger. Dank Farrik. He had been so caught up in all the plans, getting R5 to fetch the materials and then working on the decorations and all that, he’d simply forgotten to put it on the charger when he went to sleep the prior or night or even after breakfast when he knew that he’d be doing the work and not just planning it.
He collected it and brought it over to his dad to see if he could do anything.
“Sorry, Buddy. This style of datapad doesn’t have removable battery packs. I’ll just have to put it on the charger. It looks like it’s down to a zero power level. Have you charged it at all in the last week?”
Grogu thought about that. Then he sighed. He probably hand’t. He was so caught up with the Festival that maybe he hadn’t charged it since the night before. But he was sure he had charged it then. If that was the case, maybe the battery was just going bad?
Grogu explained to his dad that he had thought it had been charged recently, but in any case what could he do until it was charged enough to use?
“You can use my comp. I’ll get it from the N-1. Just don’t put a bunch of games on it like the last time I let you use it, okay?”
His dad sounded serious but not annoyed. The last time he let Grogu use it, it just so happened that they were visiting Peli Motto and she and Grogu joined virtual sabacc tournament. Grogu had won a fair number of credits and would have won more if the comp hadn’t started making all sorts of celebration noises and tipped Din Djarin off that some games were now cluttering up the system that he used to manage the N-1’s part list and his blog on armor polishing, tips and techniques.
Grogu nodded his head. He just wanted to see what caused Sithy colds and flus and then maybe find out how to cure them and perhaps, if he had time, figure out how to reach Din’s old mentor. Those were all good and worthy purposes right?
It wasn’t very hard to find information on general colds and flus. The problem was there were so many that Grogu gave up reviewing the list. It was just too long. Then he found a symptom advisor which would help diagnose which one he had when he entered his symptoms. The list didn’t get shorter until he added the phrase ‘cackles like a Sith with red eyes’ and then there was just one link. Grogu followed the link but all he got was a message that said ‘You’ve fallen to the dark side and have a case of the Siths. Help is on the way. In the meantime, think happy thoughts, tell people you love them, stay away from Sith artifacts, and do not use the Force.’
That seemed helpful, but was it? Really? Grogu couldn’t tell.
He just moved on from that task to seeing if he could find the contact information for his dad’s mentor. That was a bit trickier. Din Djarin was very good at keep track of all sorts of information. Bounty hunters had to be good at that. But Grogu didn’t really understand how his dad organized that information. He couldn't just do a simple search and complex search parameters didn’t help either.
Then it occurred to Grogu that he could use the Force to help him, despite what the Sith link had directed. He wasn’t a Sith and he was feeling better now, anyway. He began to meditate and asked the Force to show him which of the thousand spreadsheets his dad kept had that kind of life changing data in it.
Surprisingly, when Grogu opened his eyes, a spreadsheet was open and line 14,300 was highlighted. Yippee! He’d found it! Grogu read through the data presented and then sighed. He’d found something life changing all right. Line 14,300 recorded the amount of beskar the Mandalorian had been paid for turning Grogu over to the Client. Uff. Just like his dad to keep track of that. It also showed the date, the conditions of collection and note that read ‘Such a large bounty for such a small package’. Huh.
Grogu had certainly changed the Mandalorian’s life and he was a small package. He’d heard that about 14,300 times. And… he was worth every credit. Ha. Those fools! Thinking that a being as strong as he was in the Force could be subdued by any but the best bounty hunter in the Outer Rim! He’d show them that he was worth every plate of beskar! Now he just needed to find that mentor’s name so he could be brought to Nevarro in time for the Festival! Yes… that’s just what would happen…
“Grogu, buddy, what are you cackling about? I think you need to get some sleep pal, your eyes are red again.”
Dank Farrik!
