I liked seeing Babu and his pals

I thought Grogu was space tripping with the shadows. The hyper space squid whales seem cool.

I thought it was hokey when Mando arrived just in the knick of time to blast the big dino croc

*** I did not understand the killer bot deal. I can understand he needed backup. Babu tells him he needs to find a memory chip, processor, whatever. He leaves to go find part. Now he's abandoning finding the missing part? Just going to Mandalore on his own?

Finally was able to watch this one. The whole pirates thing stand off was weird and we've seen it before in this show. There's no tension in that. Mando has mowed down plenty of losers like that and taken out way stronger opponents. It was an OK episode.


Asteroid belt was awesome. Scene with Bo was cool. Show is so good but could be better. Seems to be coasting and not willing to take any risks with its show formula, hence why they couldn't even wait a damn season before bringing Grogu back. And now they're bringing back IG-11. Need some stakes this season. Nick Nolte bit the dust and we thought IG-11 and we thought we lost Grogu at the end of Season 2. But two of those are now back. I think they're setting up Chubs to die. Someone close to Mando has to at this point since they're clearly not ready to take risks narratively and character wise by having Mando be solo for a while.

You dont necessarily need character deaths all the time for there to be stakes, but considering Mando voluntarily took off his helmet for Grogu just goes to show that being a Mandalorian isn't his top priority, anymore. So why should we care about his Mandalorian redemption?

Because Disney sells more action figures with helmets on, that is the way

Why are so many star wars fans so adverse to watching boba?

I watched it and liked it but I think a lot of OG SW fans don't like how they portrayed the character. To me it felt like they neutered the character. He had his badass moments but too often he was "talking" instead of being an "enforcer" so to speak.

That, in a nutshell.

Boba Fett was the cool, mysteriously dangerous guy. Man of action, few words. I respect that they brought back the original actor (ok, not technically the ORIGINAL guy), but at this point he's an old, bald fat dude that doesn't do much. Hell, he relies on Ming to be his muscle, and hires a bunch of hipsters. Original Boba Fett would have killed them all... so we were led to believe.

I agree, Mando is much more that character now, and it just stands out all the more in contrast to that.

i’m just glad they didn’t kill cara dune off. she’s off on a special forces assignment.

I'm hoping I don't need to watch Boba Fett to understand season 3.

I think everyone's made it pretty clear that it's the last three episodes of the show, and they're basically more episodes of The Mandalorian.

"Oh no! You're telling me there are three more episodes of this show that I like? Screw that! I'm out!"

For only 8 episodes that was a waste

any way to watch these without a disney+ script?

It was a very boring episode. I understand they had to do set up but it could have been accomplished in half the time.

I also don’t know what they are doing with Pre Vizla (he was in the scene with the kid getting his helmet). He just seems to be there. I assume he’ll challenge Din again for the dark saber.
