the Mandalorian - Disney+

[K_Steel]

I found the episode mildly entertaining. The action kept me invested.

I think this show is rapidly losing it's general audience appeal though. I found I could share most of the S2 episodes with non-fans, and they could jump in and enjoy it.

This season.. not so much. The on-going plot just seems very disorganized and hard to follow. I mean why even bother putting so much early emphasis on the necessity of IG-11, when that really won't be picked up till much later in the season.

Spoiler! :

So, is Moff Gideon hiding in plain sight as one of the Covert? If not, who is working for him? Paz Visla maybe?

Spoiler! :

The mandalorians aren't united. I'm thinking he could have persuaded a tribe or put a group of mando mercenaries on his payroll. Or it could be one to three of them helping Gideon.

There were the imperial Mandalorian in Rebels, so maybe they're doing that.

People freaking over a cartoon character cameo…meanwhile I’m losing my shit in Don Pardo’s voice.

Not what I expected. Still makes sense.

I do understand the staccato nature of these story beats being distracting or unfulfilling when it comes to the way this story is being told.

This is the way is every bit May the Force be with you. Both are life perspectives. This is the way gives direction. Choose to live your life a certain way. This way benefits the individual and the community. Mandalorians present a new type of protagonist with their life focus just as the Jedi had their way.

I would like longer conversations, deeper dialogue. I don’t enjoyed Andor for that. I enjoy the action adventures Mandalorian presents too.

Spoiler! :

Zeb looked like he was there not just an animated thing. He looked good. I think I’d like to see more of him. He was an action brute in Rebels. I’m not sure how much head bashing he can do in live action.

I liked the pirates attacking Navarro. It made sense for the appeal to the Republic. It made sense how they connected the threads to get the Mandalorians to fight the pirates. It was just a bit awkward in how they did it. I think much of the traveling to Coruscant and the Covert to deliver messages could have been halo calls.

Yes I know we saw the Imperial plant once again. I know we got the Mando getting to repay the favor he got from the ice spider planet. Those worked but I think it could have been a bit tighter.

The action was good. The pirates are always those three species aren’t they? I liked the Ughnaut first mate reminiscent of Smee with his Captain Hook. Glad the one pirate got away.

Still don’t know how the Covert travels around with no Star ship.

Not much Grogu.

I liked the leaders in the Mandalorian groups acting like leaders. The New Republic continues to look bad. Oh well.

That was not at all what I expected to see with Moff Gideon escape. It happened off camera? Surprising. There are traces of Beskar? Mandalorians being framed? A group acting for money? They are sympathetic to Empire? I expected to see Moff Gideon escape but I expected to see that on screen. Oh well.

Enjoyed the episode. Lots happened. Only Episode 22, 23, and 24 left. Mythasaur before season end?

Thwipp!

Loved this episode! Fun Mandalorian action. Just what I want to see from this show.

Love Bo-Katan. My daughters love her, too. I love having a bad-ass armored heroine for them to see!

I don't have many nice things to say about this show these days and I'm genuinely sorry.

Then the Mandalorian initiation ceremony felt like watching some randoms LARP in the park in the same way that early Star Trek sometimes looked more like backyard theatre than a television show.

Is the production value down or something this season? I noticed this again. The initial pirate attack looked like a Doctor Who episode from the days they had no budget at all. The extras in the war room with Greef were distractingly bad actors. Gorian Shard's line delivery was out of a direct-to-DVD kid's movie.

Was this a kid's show all along? Maybe I forgot in the long delay between seasons. Andor changed my feelings about Star Wars products, but I may have to recalibrate my expectations.

S03E03 was still the best episode from this season for me. Maybe because it has nothing to do with the Mandalorian and kinda felt like another episode of Andor.

But hey, cool mandalorians go boom and bam or something...

You're not kidding.

I don't get the hate personally, this last episode felt like everything Star Wars to me. Loved every minute of it, warts and all!

I've enjoyed every episode, but that one weird one on Coruscant... the beginning and ending were good, but the middle was dull. I felt bad for my Kids as they sat and watched it. The rest has been good fun, which is all I really wanted.

I would love to see IG-11 again. I'm hoping that is not a loose end. And one thing I hope is that they get back to emphasizing Mando and Baby Yoda. Just as Mando kinda stole Boba's show, I'm hoping Bo doesn't steal his.

I really like Dave Feloni's Clone Wars and characters, but I think he might be putting too much emphasis on those and not enough on new ideas.

I !@#$ loved the Coruscant episode with the hot dorky dude and the hot lesbian.
