THE MANDALORIAN: Runtime For This Friday's Episode Rumored To Introduce [SPOILER] Revealed

The runtime for this Friday's episode of The Mandalorian has been revealed, and it sounds like it's going to be a big one - which makes sense when it's rumoured to introduce a huge character...

The Mandalorian is really starting to pick up during its second season, and none of the footage from the next four episodes has actually been revealed in any of the trailers or TV spots. That means we're heading into the second half of the season completely blind, which is obviously an exciting, intriguing prospect for fans of the Disney+ series.

Rumour has it that this Friday's "Chapter 13" will be titled "The Jedi," and that means we can look forward to finally seeing Rosario Dawson's live-action take on Ahsoka Tano.

According to Star Wars News Net, that instalment is set to be one of the lengthier ones to date. They've spotted a listing on the German FSK (their equivalent of America's MPAA) which reveals that Friday's episode of The Mandalorian will be 45 minutes, six seconds long. That runtime certainly seems appropriate for Ahsoka's debut in the show, and this clearly won't be one to miss.

They've also spotted the runtime for "Chapter 14," but that's only going to be 32 minutes long.

As the site notes, the FSK website has been correct with all their previous listings for The Mandalorian, so there's no reason to suspect this information is wrong. Whether "The Jedi" really is set to make her presence felt as soon as this Friday is another matter, of course, but we'll find out soon enough.

11. Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker

Score: 51%

Rotten or Fresh? Rotten

Critics Consensus: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker suffers from a frustrating lack of imagination, but concludes this beloved saga with fan-focused devotion.

What a disaster. In an effort to please everybody, director J.J. Abrams pleased pretty much no one with this rushed, messy finale to the Skywalker Saga. Kylo Ren got a decent enough ending, but beyond that, characters were mostly underserved, and the return of Emperor Palpatine was majorly botched. The franchise deserved better, so these reviews are by no means a surprise!

10. Star Wars: The Phantom Menace

Score: 52%

Rotten or Fresh? Rotten

Critics Consensus: Burdened by exposition and populated with stock characters, The Phantom Menace gets the Star Wars prequels off to a bumpy -- albeit visually dazzling -- start.

In many ways, The Phantom Menace is treated too harshly, but it was as disappointing an opening chapter for the prequels as The Rise of Skywalker was a finale for the sequels! There's an awful lot here that does work, and it's hard not to be grateful to the movie for introducing us to characters like Darth Maul and Qui Gon Jinn who have been explored in greater depth since.

9. Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones

Score: 65%

Rotten or Fresh? Fresh

Critics Consensus: Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones benefits from an increased emphasis on thrilling action, although they're once again undercut by ponderous plot points and underdeveloped characters.

Arguably a worse film than The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones wasted far too much time on exploring Anakin Skywalker's romance with Padmé Amidala (CGI fruit!) and setting up a conflict which would only ever be touched on in an (admittedly stellar) animated series). There were some highlights - like Yoda seeing some action - but they weren't frequent!

8. Solo: A Star Wars Story

Score: 70%

Rotten or Fresh? Fresh

Critics Consensus: A flawed yet fun and fast-paced space adventure, Solo: A Star Wars Story should satisfy newcomers to the saga as well as longtime fans who check their expectations at the theater door.

Another Star Wars movie that gets a bad rap, the only thing really wrong with Solo was how badly marketed it was! It definitely wasn't the strongest origin story for the iconic smuggler, but there were a lot of surprises here, with Darth Maul's return one of the biggest in the franchise's history. Honestly, it's worth the price of admission for Alden Ehrenreich and Donald Glover alone.
