The Mandalorian: S3 - Episode 1 & 2 Review

[@P1EX]

I think having grogu gone for at least 4-5 episodes would have made it better for when they reunited and they could have done more character stuff for each, apart

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

While you may be right from a story-telling point of view, Grogu is Disney+'s cash cow. They were never going to bench him for that long. There was an entirely different series that was intended to focus on a wholly different character and they didn't bench him for that long even there. For better or worse, whatever one might think of it, they're out there to make money. The bottom line is the bottom line.

[@chiefkaha5650]

They should’ve let him go with luke for a bit, then bring back the old mando that likes to bounty hunt. Make him a bit more ruthless and strategic, but no, we grt this crap for a first episode

[@chakkra69]

@@Bad_Wolf_Media But they didn´t need to bench him. They could´ve given him a separate storyline training with Luke, maybe going thru some Jedi tests that would make him comfront the traumas of what happened to him in the last few decades since Order 66.

[@thisguydan]

He's on a multiple episode, maybe season long fetch quest where he needs to bathe in the waters, and to do that he needs to get the robot, and to do that he needs to get the parts...all so Mando can officially be a Mandalorian again. Except...why do we care? He's got the armor, the weapons, the ship - why do we care that he does all this to be back in the Mandalorian club? Does he get to hang out in the official clubhouse? Are they gonna say "Ok, you're Mandalorian now" and that's it, that's the payoff for all this, roll credits? Why do we really care? It doesn't seem like a real story, just content to fill time - like a fetch quest. Is this really Star Wars storytelling now - a tired technique games use to pad out time?

[@Ruddline]

Yeah what is the story like he just unites the Mandalore and becomes King of Mandalore? Just as long as he does his fetching and stepping and killing and now he IS KING. I feel like this show is listening to Incels who hate current Star Wars and being like here fan service and the white male wins everything! YAY

[@Acerbium]

@@RuddlineI mean, Pedro Pascal is a Latino, not a white guy… I kind of agree with most of the criticisms/complaint here, but it seems like you’re projecting problems you have with other social issues onto this show and character.

[@TheRockerX]

Perfectly put

[@One.Zero.One101]

Yeah I wasn’t invested into the take a bath plot. What exactly does it redeem? Does it redeem all sins no matter how heinous? Can it redeem even the worst traitors? Is this canon or was it created for the show?

[@dj_daem0n]

Look, I like the whole "BABY YODA OMG" thing as much as anyone. But his story concluded. I was ready for adventures with Din without him. Feels like they just used those Boba Fett episodes to cop out and give people something for the sake of it's own fandom.

[@jimjam51075]

I quit all of this after the hilariously bad last episode of BoBF for the same reason. I think the Lucasfilm marketing department realized sending Grogu to Luke killed their little green golden goose. Now people are theorizing the IG parts will be used as a robotic conveyance for him....which will be even more bad hilarity.

[@Lars.442]

[@hallowedground4101]

Season 3 should have been a twin plotline show, where we spend 20min of each episode following Din, and 10 mins following Grogu training with Luke. Then have Grogu coming back to Din in the finale.

[@may.k_me]

Would have been way better this way. But I suppose due to budgetary constraints might have been difficult because they would have to CGI Luke Skywalker from time to time.

[@douglassmith1502]

I like your idea

[@DaveRoman]

@@may.k_me They could just done one full episode with Luke and then have Grogu escape or be sent off on his own and has some adventures before returning to Dinn. Even half a season apart would have been better than zero episodes.

[@farwoodfarm9296]

Yep instead Favreau wants us to believe Grogu spent 2 years with Luke. Getting awfully sloppy especially after Andor.

[@yondie491]

"Does it really matter?" I think when you said "no one is ever truly gone" earlier in the review, you pre-answered that question. If you like the ride, that's cool and everything, but Star Wars doesn't have any stakes anymore.

[@RaymondStone]

"Somehow, Palpatine returned..."

[@bradew2]

Why is the humor so dumbed down for this show? I get it's more family friendly and skews for a younger audience but the humor can be written well and work for both children and adults. I just feel brain dead when they try to do anything funny.

[@troywinston]

Why would they start the new season that way? Just...why?

[@JohnBainbridge0]

Such a weird first episode. It was both too much and not enough at the same time. And if I'm being honest, I'm not looking forward to an entire season of buildup to Mando taking a bath. That's just not an interesting goal, especially when the reasons for it are dumb and cultish. I really hope they take this in another direction.

[@ezramotz1995]

A ‘just average’ episode for the opening chapter of such a massive, extremely highly anticipated season is in a way almost more frustrating than just an overall bad episode.

[@thisscreensucks]

Weird take. I'll take okay over bad every time.

[@alexjames2264]

?? What?

[@moviereedviews]

Disagree. Sometimes setup is necessary and it's necessarily a bad thing. Plus, a bad episode is still a bad episode.

[@GlobalCop]

Oh trust me. That was bad.

[@BrezzyBoi33]

Show sucks. Compared to Andor, it is shockingly bad

[@OrionInSpace]

For someone like me who was worried about the length of the episode it actually surprisingly felt longer than but only by a little bit, still think something should have been mentioned for those who missed Boba Fett episodes

[@shanetaylor761]

It's either other new content gets pushed to the side or dialogue feels unnatural because it's just exposition dumps. There's no complete fix for that. On the flip side, anyone who wants to catch up has two completely feasible options. Either watch Boba fett on the same streaming service you're already watching Mando or watch a 5 minute KZbin season summary video. Those choices span nearly zero commitment to full and both will teach you more that you need to know than an exposition dump. Not trying to be a jerk but I never understood compromising a shows integrity even the slightest bit just too cover story you already did. Idk though maybe I'm just built different from all the pain and turmoil that comes with being an anime fan lol. From filler list and reading subtitles all the way to researching a tie in light novel that gives better character insight. You gotta take initiative with the media you enjoy. People can't always expect it fed to them. Ps. Sorry about my rant lol.

[@OrionInSpace]

@@shanetaylor761 it's fine I guess I was referring more to the beginning recap they always do

[@may.k_me]

​@shanetaylor761 I think not showing the reunion of Grogu and Mando in the Mandalorian IS compromising the integrity of the show. The Mandalorian is primarily about the two of them and their journey, and I don't like that a huge plot point was resolved in another show which I didn't watch because I didn't want to. No offense to anyone who likes Boba Fett or that character, I simply wasn't interested enough to watch it. It would have been okay to have either Grogu or Mando show up there, but both together reuniting there seems like a plot to force people like me to watch a show we don't want to watch.

[@One.Zero.One101]

Usually the episodes feel short because i wanted more. But these first two feel so long because i was bored. I kept looking at the time remaining.

[@cteal2018]

I think they made a big mistake with grogu. I really think he shoulda stayed with Luke. Bring him back in a few seasons. But oh well. I think it’s obvious where they are headed this season. Mando still has the dark saber and there’s a bunch of madalorians if different types all over the galaxy. He’s gonna be redeemed, and gather all the Mandolorian together to take back their planet.

[@FaydOgolon]

I agree. At the end of Season 2, I was really looking forward to seeing "The Mandalorian" without him having to deal with Grogu. I thought they properly set up Season 3 to be a major conflict between him and Bo Katan. I get the idea that Disney dangled Jon Favreau over a cliff to get him to agree to work Grogu back into the show.

[@mr.crumbles2557]

But then they can't put him in new clothes for that sweet merch money

[@ricksherman34]

If Grogu doesn't go back to Mando then you can't do Lone Wolf and Cub narrative....

[@G0DofRock]

This has been the worst season ever. One of the worst openings from any show this year. Should have kept Grogu with Luke obviously and returned him later. And written a decent storyline. The start was so boring and stupid. "I need that droid..." side quest! "I really need that droid!" side quest! "This shitty droid will do... Oh, gotta go save the shitty droid, and look it told me something we already knew! Air = breathable!" Near a body of water? Monster attack. In a cave? Monster attack. Another body of water? Another monster attack. And Din does NOT shut the fuck up. He just phones in some dumbass lines, thank god Bokatan carrying it with minimal emotion and an actual plot given to her. The last scene was ridiculous and kinda funny. He takes 3 steps and falls down a labyrinth of water somehow faster than she could jetpack down to the bottom lol

[@squidtentacles]

People in this comment section actually have common sense. Comments on fan channels are going nuts over the first episode. They swear the first episode is the best thing since sliced bread.

The story, character development and some special effects took a huge dive. It’s not the same show unfortunately. I miss the quality already.

[@aflameinthevoid8047]

The season needs to find it’s “goal” soon. It feels like one low stakes macguffin after another (go to a planet to get a memory circuit to get a droid to get to a planet to take a bath to be reestablished as a mandalorian). I’m struggling to be invested at all. I didn’t watch Boba so I was also very lost. Why is grogu back? When did he get a Naboo fighter?

[@may.k_me]

I didn't watch Boba Fett. Not planning to. But looks like I HAVE to if I want to know how they reunited. I'm a bit disappointed hearing about the first 2 episodes of Mandalorian s3. What was the point of the ending of season 2? The tension is gone now. Grogu's arc is over if he doesn't have a personal goal.

[@enriqueguang9843]

Bobba Fett is an ok watch. You have the fast forward button to help you. God knows I use that fast forward button in most of the shows that are meh but I want to see how the story flows and concludes

[@imacmccormick]

Dan talking about Mando S3e1 was significantly more entertaining than actually watching Mando S3e1. I did not enjoy this season premiere at all. And the book of boba Fett stuff just muddied this so much.

[@jordana4910]

As much as I generally dislike the binge model, they should have dropped all epsidoes at once. This show just works better that way.

[@louisberry4403]

Slow start but enjoyable and love seeing Mando And Grogu back together. Excited for The rest and hope to get Moff next episode and Christopher Lloyd As Hondo.

[@ezramotz1995]

The IG droid will most likely be used just as a more convenient means for Grogu to get around, so it will probably be rebuilt/repurposed in a certain way so as to be capable of carrying Grogu around the inside of it so that he can more easily get around/keep up with the Mando, and additionally as armored protection against outside threats…plus most importantly it will also surely be built in with some sort air purification filtering system to protect him against the toxic elements on/beneath the surface of Mandalore…basically like a highly customized mecha suit of sorts. So if they do it like this, then I might not have anything against that then, and who knows 🤷‍♂️ it might actually be pretty cool to see! As for Mando, on the other hand, I’m not so sure what precautions he himself will take to further protect his body from deadly environmental conditions of the planet. I guess we shall find out soon enough…🤖🦾

[@bulletproof844]

About your point why Mando went to the armorer again: I believe they tried to be clever about catching people up, who didn't see BoBF. It feels repetetive, when you know what happend, but I watched it with a friend who didn't know and he was happy for this exposition. Basically a recap within the show. Seeing that it was wierd anyways that they decided to have a Mando Season 2.5 within another show this might have been the best way to catch people up. But I personally would have preferred the story to progress instead of procrastinate. Ah well, still loved the first episode. :)

[@incredibilistic]

What's weird is the recap they chose was designed to shape the narrative to start the season, which is Din reclaiming his honor as a Mandalorian, which is something I'm not sure why anyone would care about. Frankly I'm not sure why anyone would want to be part of their tribe. What about being a Mando is worth never being able to show your face again and being forced to drink from a straw or lifting up your helmet just enough to eat and drink? Furthermore, why would a kid choose this lifestyle? The only thing I've ever seen from the Mando tribe is that they're lone gunmen/women who choose to live underground. I also found it weird that Mando can only redeem his honor by returning to his home world while the kid they indoctrinated and helmeted forever can stand in what appears to be a random lake/ocean and be considered one of them. Why couldn't Din just use that same water? If that lake/ocean is good enough to enshrine a kid why can't it be good enough to redeem a current member? My point is now that Grogu for no other reason than to be cute, I'm not sure why I should be invested in this show. What Mando such an interesting figure in the first two season was that he was a ruthless bounty hunter with a heart of gold who went against everything he's ever known in order to save a child. But now that Grogu is his sidekick again why should I care about this character? What about his journey is interesting, compelling or necessary? But I digress. I'm not a fan of how the show's going so far and considering how cartoony and silly it already is I don't have a lot of hope for the remainder of the season. Something tells me that they had enough content for 2 seasons but because the Star Wars sequel trilogy was a complete and utter turd as well as the bombshell sales of Grogu toys, they had no choice but to continue making content but have zero good ideas left. We maybe entering last-two-seasons-of-Game-of-Thrones territory.

[@TheRockerX]

That first episode managed to kill off all the hype I had coming into the season. I just don't see myself watching the rest of this weekly.

[@illustoja]

Mando talks way too much in S03 so far... All the time talking, explaining what he's about to do, what he did, what he should do, what he is thinking, what he is feeling, where he is going... I feel he was much more intriguing and interesting in first two seasons, when he was much more quiet. Make Mando silent again!

[@gunsview6379]

This episode was complete filler. Disney has completely softened every edgy aspect that made Mando so cool. The writers did the same thing with Boba, only they did him dirtier. What idiot shoots a wired gauntlet shot at an animal that’s so much more strong. Those other Mandalorians is looking like real bad fighters in the heat of battle there. Disney’s made all Mandalorians looking like idiots ever since bobba fetts season. Mando talks so much and jumps from scene to scene carrying nothing but literal story info only and no actual good character building. Literally has us watching this show to see the climax of a guy take a bath. Liam Neeson was right.. Disney deluded Star Wars

Its like some 8 year old's fantasy character not an actual flawed character or at least a character you believe could ever lose.

I feel like the Din Djarin episodes of Book of Boba Fett should've been the opener. I liked the episode, but it wasn't the best one.

[@unknownuser3000]

I dunno all these clips the dialogue he is speaking sounds soooooo forced. I will bathe ... in the ... waters ... of mandalore.... yaaaawn what happened to this series

[@Pentaholic88]

10:16 Just like with your review of Better Call Saul. You wanted to wait until it was over to give your thoughts. Can’t wait for your review of The Last of Us once it’s over

[@scottfw1193]

I'm very late to the Mandalorian. I only really got into mid-S2. But I love the short episodes! And I really didn't mind Grogu being back. Cut out the dull bits.

For some reason I thought you two had already tied the knot, I must have been misremembering photos I saw from Samm and Rachel's wedding. Anyway, congratulations in advance and I hope you guys have a great day.

Why do you hang T-shirts in your closet ?

[@DanMurrellMovies]

Doesn't everyone hang t-shirts in their closet? What would I do with them otherwise?

[@mrdozey7361]

@@DanMurrellMovies I fold mine and stack them on the shelves in the closet or chest of drawers , I only hang jackets and trousers . Hanging T-shirts seems like it would be an inefficient use of storage space but to each their own I've just never seen or heard of anyone hanging them.

Someone brought up the point of repeating things we heard for people who didn’t watch book of boba Fett .

[@waywardmind]

Just watched ep1 of S3, and my god . . . what an absolute waste of time. The dialogue was worse than most of that in The Book of Boba Fett, and Favreau (the writer for ep1) was clearly cribbing from the JJ Abrams school of "Ah, now we can talk---------- INTERRUPTION VIA STORYLESS ACTION!". What the hell is going on with this series? I'm curious if Filoni have a bet with each other to see how much they can phone in this season and still keep their jobs.

Waste of time to learn where Djin’s next covert is located, what the creed actually means to Djin and his faith which he’s mocked for, what’s Djin’s main quest is to redeem himself for the season, the status of Navarro and old ally, learn who threatens Navarro, what the next subplot is to complete his quest, where the mines are located in order to complete his quest, where the rest of the mandalorian army is located. Basically, the season’s entire premise and all subplots 28 minutes was a waste of time?? You’re a different level of hater. I suspect another season of great reviews, high ratings, and multiple emmy/golden globe nominations like the first two times

[@scurvy998]

Disney shows/movies is a thing ...keep up or stop watching.
