The Mandalorian (Star Wars Live Action Series)

[Garlador]

I liked the first two or three episodes and the the last two

Those middle 3 or 4 were pretty awful and kinda ruined the season for me.

First and last impressions count for a lot…

… and, darn it, I thought that finale was fire. Those crazy mad lads did it. Scratched all my itches.

 

[RandomHero]

Last two episodes of the season were good. 2nd episode of the season was good. Otherwise very lackluster, which is a shame.

One thing that really bothered me during the Gideon death scene was Grogu using the Force to shield Din and Bo. I know Grogu's species is really powerful with the Force and all, but Kanan Jarrus who was a legitimate, trained Jedi Knight, couldn't do that same thing. Not sure how Grogu and his limited training to this point could suddenly hold back an explosion. Just an odd choice to me.

Also...why Din Grogu? Shouldn't it be Grogu Djarin? We have Bo-Katan Kryza and Satine Kryze, and Jango Fett and Boba Fett. Why is Grogu taking on Din's first name? Didn't understand that one.

 

[Rbeato]

I did not see it as retirement, more like he is kind of a freelancer for the New Republic now, of the books. So he can pick assignments which are suited for his new apprentice.

This exactly. Season 4 training Grogu, taking up bounties on imperials…which leads him to getting back involved with the big Thrawn movie show down that seems likely.

 

[DarkChocobi]

I dont know, but I have this feeling this Season 3 was a direct revenge to Favreau from KK and her cronies for the cover up of Luke's return in SS2 finale. Too much meddling IMO.

To his credit, Kanen was helping the Ghost crew escape at the same time. Perhaps the Force isn’t too great at multitasking

As for Grogu, I dunno. Maybe Din is some sort of title, like Darth or something?

 

[Rbeato]

The Mandalorian will not end after 3 seasons, or even 4. Like I keep saying Din isn’t the Mandalorian the show is named after. It’s Grogu, and with his long life span, our kids kids kids will be watching The Mandalorian, witnessing Din Grogu for his entire life…it’ll be the longest running show in human history

 

[davejames]

Does anyone else just feel nothing after watching this.

Retaking Mandalore should have had this big emotional pay off but it just doesn’t.

Yeah it was nice seeing Din kick some ass again, but I was never that emotionally invested in the retaking of Mandalore to begin with, so when they finally defeated Gideon and relit their giant forge at the end I was just like "eh that's nice." And so much of the episode just felt like empty spectacle to me.

Thankfully it looks like we're finally done with that story and can get back to Din being on his own again, where he's always worked best.

We also don't have an explanation yet of Din's deal with the sword. I get the sword views him as "unfocused" but is that still true?

Grogu's powers don't bother me I figure he's Yoda's species that's especially strong with the Force.

Yeah this season was rougher off and on but there's still details I appreciate - Kelleran saving Grogu, the changes to Navarro, R5 getting his moments, the Armorer, and IMO Grogu is still an amazing creation. The ships and environments and space battles look fantastic.

Not the salad head pirate tho or raiding the POTC wardrobe.

 

[Ramatuelle]

Grogu is the One.... who will destroy Palpatine.

Grogu is a Sith who will join up with Palpatine. All Palps will have to do is show Grogu a bunch of food and.....

 

[Ramatuelle]

I just think it is ridiculous that Mandalore will now consist of people who will always leave their masks/helmets on all the time and half of the people taking off their masks and putting them back on a regular basis

Oh SW lore

Ridiculous perhaps, but not one more ridiculous that what goes on here on earth.

Consider the religions of earth, each one warring with the next and responsible for most of history's wars. Each one says all the others are going to Hell for the same exact stuff. Alien anthropologists watching us from their ships orbiting from a safe distance away must have an absolute FIELD DAY with humanity. In this galaxy or that one, humans are one FUBAR bunch.

When's the release date for the movie? There's a good chance it's before Mando S4.

2026 supposedly. We'll still be waiting for our S3 Bo-Katan figs.

 

[ZE_501]

Oh silly boy...

You don't think he could somehow return?!

 

[ZE_501]

Thrawn is the future.


But I'm waiting for... Xizor.

The alien with the Weinstein Pheromones?

 

[darth dennis]

We already know they're gonna frontload the Rey movie by having Din Grogu show up, which actually could be pretty funny with Grogu blowing raspberries and using the Force to steal food. So much for all those solemn books that Luke never read either.
The question is - is Grogu more powerful than Rey?

From a merchandising perspective, most definitely

 

[ZE_501]

So I've been reading all the spoilers and it seems the season is still a hot mess (why wouldn't it be?) with a bunch of spectacle to end it.

The whole 50-year old toddler thing ... no surprise at all but I don't think anyone thought it through with any kind of logic in mind. While I'm sick of the little green toy commercial, it seems to print money for Disney and they keep turning him into a video game character with the bouncing and the powers and I don't see him being remotely as cute as he grows up.

I haven't figured out the 'dog years' calculation... if Yoda died at 900(?) years? And Grogu is 50 or so? Does that make them 90 and 5-years old, respectively?

If Grogu is five, he's very precocious in some ways (killing people, seeing combat repeatedly, using arcane powers and being acrobatic, flying and navigating starfighters) and developmentally delayed in other ways (no language proficiency, inconsistent fine motor skills etc.) ...

I think I enjoyed this season more than season 2. The first episodes were epic. I also liked the detective episode. I just had the feeling from the last episode that it is The Book of Boba Fett last episode. There were so many events and fights. They should have more time to develop some characters and have more logical fights.
The embarrassing things:
How did Grogu get to Din? Never explained, and why none notice him disappear.
How the Pretorians were a real danger to both Kylo and Rey and Grogu and Din take them down almost effortlessly.
Why Grogu has to travel?
Why show the Mythosaur just to tease?

 

[Sixth Scale Man]

In an anthology show, that slow, pointless episode about Imperial biscuits and space ice cream would have been a lot more acceptable. Coruscant is the perfect setting. You could literally tell any story, any genre there.

Wacky comedy about a bunch of aliens running a restaurant?

Teen romance drama about a kid from the lower levels falling in love with an upper society kid?

A former Imperial hitman fed up with the life of violence joins an acting troupe but finds he can't escape his past?

The possibilities are endless.

Fully appreciate the "Barry" reference. Nicely done.

Grogu is the One.... who will destroy Palpatine.

Again again

Secret end credits scene: Bo and her merry band of mandos walk up to the surface to do a silly ceremony for a foundling when a giant rock monster eats him, some dragons grab the other younglings and finally the tie bombers they forgot about glass them all before flying off into the sunset with Beskar Clone Gideon (in new slightly crispy armour)
