re: The Mandalorian Season 3 - Official Thread

Jack Black and Christopher Lloyd at least weren't bad in that episode, as dull as it was. And the episode at least sets up Mandalore to be a recognized planet again.
Lizzo was terrible. She had no inflection in her lines. It was like she was reading them and no acting.
The ending at the cabin felt like a series finale over a season finale.

This show, man I swear. Disney is 3 seasons and still hasn’t figured out to capitalize on the Grogu character. Perhaps it’s because his entire premise is flawed to the point that his character can’t grow. I can accept that his species can live 900 years, but a 50, 60 or 70 year old 1 ft toddler with zero ability to communicate and a baby sitter seems like worst possible way to survive centuries as a species.
They should have had him become physically grown (or a teen) and then need to spend years training and coming into his own with his use of the force. I love the Jedi and the Force and feel they are missing big by not using this much at all in the Mandalorian. Let Grogu become a Mandalorian who has command of the Force.

1.) Not sure where he would have gotten one of those. They are incredibly rare and he would not have the resources to just build one unknown
2.) I can't imagine him showing up on anything other the Chimaera. Lore wise, that ship embodied him. I'm guessing he escaped Bridger somehow and was able to get it repaired. I imagine we'll learn about it in Asoka.

Haven't completed Rebels yet so I don't know what happens to the SSD Chimaera, but if they're the least bit faithful to the OG novels, then it's practically an extension of Thrawn's strategic prowess.

The season sucked up until the 2nd to last episode, then the finale was a real boner.

Capitalize beyond him being the best liked part of their best liked SW IP?
Also, as someone who has a 18 month old kid, I definitely Recognize this phase of development.

Chimaera wasn't a Super Star Destroyer. It was a standard I-class star destroyer.
ETA: it wasn't exactly standard. It had some customizations with a hull painting and changes to the guns around the command deck.

WTF have they done to this show? It went from 0-100 real quick on the suck scale.
It doesn't help that I was absolutely mesmerized by the serious political intrigue & high quality acting of Andor.
I know the tone & subject matter of Mandalorian is intended to be a lot looser and full of adventure (and I've loved the first two seasons for exactly that) but combine the subpar writing, the disjointed storylines and some wooden acting and this all a massive disappointment, particularly following the well-written, well-told, well-acted Andor.

As someone else mentioned, the magical madalorian jet packs pissed me off.
Cant follow a giant bird a few miles but can go from the surface to space and fight battles with them on nonstop

Agreed. The first part of the season was just ok, but those last three episodes were not good at all. Maybe if there is another season they can get it back on track.

Seems like you just freed up 8 hours or so once Season 4 drops. What are you gonna do with that opening in your schedule?

Someone needs to do a count of how many times Bo Katan saves Mando in this series. She saves him twice in her first appearance last season, and about 3 times in this episode alone.
This all goes way beyond wanting 'strong female characters' in the movies and shows. This is Kennedy venting her envy and resentment for men in general, especially the ones who can create, as she cannot, and the perverts like Spielberg for whom she fetched coffee.
And, like a lot of women, when something blows up in her face, she spitefully doubles and triples down, no matter how destructive it becomes.

At least Bo Katan had a background from previous shows that showed her as a strong warrior, which supports her heroics in The Mandalorian. On the flip side, there’s Rey who went from scavenger to apparently being stronger than Luke in one movie.

And in the end it is just bad writing.
You can present Rey as a super powerful naturally gifted force user. But present it as soemthing she has little control over, and it not only because more believable but more interesting.

Since Ahsoka does hail from the Star Wars animated series, fans might be wondering what they should watch before the live-action series. Well, creator Dave Filoni wants to assure everyone the true answer is none. However, for those looking to foray into Rebels specifically, he suggests the following, via Collider:
I would start, probably like the episode “Jedi Knight,” where spoiler. Even if you didn’t understand what that was, it would propel you forward. If you just watched Season 4, you’d be set. You can start with that and you get that these Rebels are fighting this tyrannical Empire and that would get you everything and everybody you need. You don’t need to do the entire gamut of Rebels, but you should. Once you watch that, you’ll be like “Well, I’m gonna watch it all.”

Seems like a lot of people liked that this used to be basically random adventures within the Star Wars universe, and switched over to a bigger story arc covering the whole season.
I have no problem with Bo-Katan, she's a known entity, and the Mandalore concept has been around in detail going back to Clone Wars. Din Djarin otherwise is just a dude wearing armor (not that there's anything wrong with that), whereas this puts him in context.
I don't think Bo is overpowered at all... she's got more combat experience than Mando. He's a bounty hunter, not a soldier. And when you figure in gear (jetpacks, blasters, the Darksaber, impenetrable armor etc), a well-trained female can absolutely work.
The jetpack issue, I think that's open to interpretation, and not some plot hole. They ran out of gas following the giant bird, because they were following it. We don't know how long that was, time-wise... only that it ended before the sun went down. If that was a 6 hr flight, sure, you may run your tank dry. They were never trying to catch the critter, just trying to track it back to it's nest.
That doesn't mean you don't have enough for sustained flight in a 30 minute firefight, or (albeit less likely) enough to climb to the stratosphere, to make radio contact with the fleet once. It just means you don't have enough to stay airborne for 6 continuous hrs.
Someone mentioned, and it's worth noting, the show does suffer a bit in comparison to Andor, because of the tone difference. Andor was more serious and adult-oriented, this is more adolescent adventure. You do need to adjust mentally, going back and forth.

didn't they show them walking back after they ran out of fuel? they couldn't have gone that far if they walked back.
i think those packs are more like 6 minutes worth of flying, not 6 hours. The pack that most of them wear is the Z-6, which has a range of sustained flight of about 2km.
