*Original Study* <em>The Mandalorian</em>™ - The Reckoning By Monte Moore Thomas Kinkade Studios® 23" x 32"

In so many classic Western films there are events building towards a final showdown, and in some of those seminal moments the gunfighter must ride into town to face his foe and put his fate to the test. I loved how this was handled in Chapter 5 as the Mandalorian returns to town on a dewback to rescue Grogu from his former partner turned adversary! The streets before him are completely empty, only light washing out from the doors and windows to illuminate this moment that, to me, feels very ’a stranger in town,’ and it’s quite a moment, but also a visually powerful one!
