Also this is ACTUAL DIALOG on the show? Mmmmmmk, but i had to shar a hilarious comment by the person on the site that is supposed to be MORE accurate than the normal wiki. bc of the "love" of the IP ["My ship has been destroyed. I'm trapped here." "Stripped. Not destroyed. The Jawas steal. They don't destroy." "Stolen or destroyed, makes no difference to me." ―Din Djarin and Kuiil, after the Razor Crest was stripped for parts by Jawas -bc god that would be so funny] lmao... even on the fan wiki they hate this show, im out, I just wanted to end with ALWAYS PIRATE ALL MEDIA.

[@Elizabeth28]

I need to get this off my chest. Everything about this episode was frustrating beyond belief. Jack and Lizzo (can't get into how terrible that choice was) need DIn and Bo's help because droids are throwing tiny little tantrums (not actually hurting people, mind you), and Din believes that's worth his time and effort just to go find the other mandos? They can't actually stop him from just finding them himself, they literally said no one carries blasters there. But they go along with it. Okay, so now we can get some development with DIn and Bo finally acting like a team on some silly mission, I'll take it. But no, it's like they've never worked together before and have no bond at all. And Grogu being knighted for NOTHING?! The whole first half of the season they were building up Grogu to be more capable and powerful (at least a little bit), but Din's suddenly just fine leaving him with strangers, giving him no opportunity to continue growing with his capability. This episode totally could have worked as a dystopian noir story if they had stayed in line with the gritty western, mysterious yet slightly comedic tone of the first two seasons. Instead it was campy and shallow, like it was written for five-year-olds. Like a lot of others, I keep thinking there must be something deeper coming, because we expect so much more from Jon and Dave, but I honestly think this is just as deep as it's gonna get. Just boring, superficial, one-dimensional characters and lazy plot lines.

[@cotilake]

What if the next episode is a beach episode where all the mandos go swimming in the living waters and the mythosaur comes out and becomes their friend and their jet packs start shooting sparkles and the ahsoka shows up and talks to mando about finding thrawn and it turns out in his exile he thought about his faults and is now just a super chill dude And they live happily ever after… 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@ghst-rb3iz]

I dont think that is the case, otherwise how and where would they tell Grogu's fate? But I really believe Grogu's return wasn't supposed to be so rushed but for money reasons Disney made it happen, ignoring the storytelling

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

@@ghst-rb3iz I think it could even be the opposite. Grogu's involvement could have began as a means of putting Mando on a path of finding some meaning beyond self survival and acceptance within the Mando community. He was becoming a father figure to Grogu. Then Grogu's place seemed to be complete and his story arc in the show came to a close when he was returned to a force being, Ahsoka. I think he was brought back in due to popularity and they forced the whole thing to be stretched out until he was given to Luke. THEN, yet again, they brought him back as a permanent sidekick to Din. I don't think that initially Grogu's fate was part of the point of this show. It was initially Din's show and Grogu was a story arc for season 1. He was popular enough to win over the fanbase and maybe earn(?) a permanent place in the show. The same could be said for Carga. Either of these characters could have been short lived. Now we have what also appeared to be a temporary arc with Katan. I thought they just wanted to work her in because they had Katie and it seemed a natural fit. Now it looks like it's becoming far more about the MandalorianS than this Mandalorian (Din). Maybe that was their intent all along but the path appears reeeeally piecemealed together like a bad quilt. What was this man's journey has become almost a story with him along for the ride serving as a hub for other characters and enabling other shows to be spawned off of this one. First BOBF, now Ahsoka, will Katan get a show off of this too? I can only hope they don't try bringing Jack Black back in to eventually make S4 or 5 an intro to his show. I now wish I hadn't even thought of that example,,, yech. I actually thought his ship, the RazorCrest, was a more long term character in the show than Grogu, until they just ditched it. That was my second favorite ship in the galaxy. I just realized we also never hear any of his recurring lines from early on anymore either. "I can take you in warm, or I can take you in cold". IMO these things were established as part of a theme or his character. I wanted some of that to remain. Now I miss season 1. I want THAT Mando and THAT show back.

[@Milothemighty10]

The more I think about it there is clearly something going on behind the doors at lucasfilm something they don’t want the public let alone the Star Wars fandom to know I firmly believe that Kennedy is behind the undoing of season 2s ending and if the mandalorian isn’t safe from her what chances do upcoming projects have?…

To be honest though it's not as if KK is the only culprit over there. I get the impression that 90%+ of that company is just Woke, Inc. and Jon and Dave had maybe a few others that just wanted to do great Star Wars storytelling and now I suspect even those two have been somewhat indoctrinated by the overwhelming mob of the Hollywood (entertainment industry) cult. Everything they do serves to promote a certain social agenda. Those who don't support or go along with that get ousted, like Gena. It's not just KK, it's nearly all of them by this point.

@Thor_SkywalkerPlus Undoing the previous plots is the biggest issue.

Nah, he took a bath and now he's happy to be in the cult and question nothing ever again. - Din had to give up Grogu because he wanted him to get trained. Nah, Grogu is back to be his cute pet again. - Din got the Dark Saber and was unable to use it effectively due to his inner turmoil. Nah, forget the turmoil, he's just going to give it to Bo on a technicality and reset back to the Status quo with Bo having the saber just like she did at the end of Rebels. What the fuck was the point of Din carrying the thing around for a season then? - Din has repeatedly demonstrated leadership qualities? Nah, fuck him. Bo's going to get her 4th shot at being a leader. - Gideon was captured after a difficult battle. Nah he escaped off screen and is our Big Bad who shows up at the end of every season yet again. - Bo was wearing a helmet and getting indoctrinated by the CotW. Nah the Armourer is suddenly a pragmatist who asked her to take it off and go forth like the old ambitious Bo from Rebels. - Mandalorians had to leave Nevarro after being nearly wiped out. Nah. They're back again and have just as many members as they did before Like literally nothing that happened in Season 2 matters as all of it was reverted or resolved with the least effort possible.

This episode was like the films I, Robot and Thor: Ragnarok had a child. The Droid subplot could have been so much better if they took more time to develop the story, and maybe made the bad guy’s plot more developed (the “Dooku was a visionary” and “sorry, I feel bad about what I did” two minutes later was too rushed). I also felt like Bo Katan’s claim to the Dark Saber was too convenient and too rushed. She was already given the Dark Saber before in Rebels. We should have learned how she lost it to Moff Gideon, and that should have set up how she was going to redeem herself and earn back the Dark Saber. Give Bo redemption, not a reset of that episode of Rebels. I didn’t hate this episode, but I feel like they could have done so much better.

[@CedarHunt]

What I don't understand is why anyone would accept Bo as the leader of Mandalore. She's been "in charge" a handful of times, and each time she holds a position of authority, things get worse for the Mandalorians. She engineered the planets subjugation by the Sith and then negotiated its occupation by the Republic and finally instigated its destruction by the Empire. After that many failures, I don't care how fancy your glowstick is, you're not allowed to be in charge of anything.

[@JoRoq1]

She didn’t engineer Maul’s takeover. She wanted nothing to do with him, but ultimately trusted in Pre Vizsla’s (misplaced) confidence that he could take Maul out when Nightwatch’s goals were achieved. Beyond that, recall that Mandalorian culture still revolves around clan and association. Presumably she is the only clan leader left with the recognition and experience for world leadership, and the cultural importance of tradition (particularly among the Mandalorian warrior factions) cannot be understated.

[@CedarHunt]

​@@JoRoq1 Bull. She was Pre Vizslas lieutenant and was just as culpable as he was in Mauls take over. Their failure to seize power later is irrelevant to that. She also directly negotiated the Republic invasion which opened the door for the occupation and then instigated the rebellion that saw Mandalore destroyed. Clan has not been shown to be a central pillar of Mandalorian society, it's barely mentioned at all. It's just a last name at this point. If she is seriously the last clan leader left, then Mandalore is already gone and this whole story is a waste of time.

[@tokyo_god2731]

thats the point why should they have to trust her again after her multiple failures that's why she is trying to prove herself we did see her given up on her quest to lead mandolore but now by seeing the mythosaur she has found her courage and with the backing off the armorer and din she can believe now that she is the ruler of mandolore even if she fails I mean the republic has failed multiple times did they give up no so why should she?

[@JoRoq1]

@@CedarHunt Go back to watch those Clone Wars episodes again. She argues hard against working with Maul, and only goes along with it when Pre tells his plan to double-cross. And even in her agreement, her extreme distaste for it is clear. Does she bear a share of the responsibility for Maul’s rise? Yes. But she does so because she was following the tradition of following the man who possessed the Darksaber, the same tradition she now relies on to reunite the scattered Mandalorians. Clan specifically has not been presented as a factor in The Mandalorian, but it was still clearly in place as late as Rebels. We don’t know what the current survival rates and population for the remaining Mandalorian people are. It is not implausible that the destruction of Mandalore left no clan intact or in a strong position, which would result in forming new groups (Bo’s mercenaries, the Armorer’s Covert) to base a collective identity on. My real point is that those group associations, whether by blood, creed, or circumstance, were a significant foundational piece of the Mandalorian culture. The only other time shown where blood clan was not held important was under Satine’s rule, and coincided with the movement away from the warrior traditions. “The Mandalorian” clearly shows that those following any version of warrior tradition still have a strong sense of group identity.

[@thegifting267]

Bo is a bad character. Why do I say this? Because she’s a bad character in multiple ways. Plot. The first one is the writers don’t know what to do with her considering it’s the same plot over and over again. In the clone wars bo wants to take Mandalore then she’s prevented from taking it multiple times. After awhile she gets the planet only for Maul to take it from her and now she wants to take it again. Bo acquires the planet then the Empire takes it from her. In Star Wars Rebels bo wants to take Mandalore then the Empire takes it back from her. In Star Wars The Mandalorian she wants to take Mandalore once again. No one calls her out. The second reason she’s a bad character is she’s evil, but the storytellers doesn’t realize this and the characters don’t as well. I’m now going to go over stuff she did. 1 She burned innocent civilians alive and tried to kill Ahsoka within season four episode 14. Did she show any remorse for her actions or for any of the innocents at all here? No. 2 Bo plotted for her own sister’s death the entire time of the clone wars. Hell she never showed any problems with wanting her sister to die before season five episode 16. Man even here it doesn’t seem genuine and more, like she’s using her sister’s death as a political tool. 3 She refused to follow Maul when he won in a fight that Vizsla accepted. By the way Maul not only won, but Vizsla said that Maul deserved to rule. Bo betrayed the rule of the strongest by starting a civil war instead of challenging Maul in an honorable way. 4 Season seven in episode nine Bo lied about what was happening on Mandalore to obi-Wan so she can get numbers to invade the planet and take power. How did she lie? She makes the claim that the people are getting destroyed by Maul. What is actually happening though? The population isn’t. Really we’re never shown civilians being killed, forced into something they don’t want, being treated badly or anything. When we get down to it we see exact opposite of abuse under Maul when Obi-Wan goes to the planet and the soldier is quite considerate. 5 Bo is one of the main reasons her people face nonstop conflict, which ultimately led to the homeworld being destroyed. 6 There’s also the problem of her having the moral highground, which is infuriating since she hasn’t earned the right to make judgements on anyone. A perfect example of having it being unearned would be in Star Wars Rebels when she attacks Sabine Wren. What does Bo say to her? “This weapon is of a monster and a coward.” Bo you have launched terrorist attacks on your own people for decades so you shouldn’t be talking. 7 She started a Civil War between Death Watch, which led to a lot of their people dying. Bo became leader because of the Jedi after she led an invasion too. What about after that? All she had to do to prevent another war was to follow the Empire’s rules, but Bo declined. All that the Empire wanted was to control that planet and take some metal from the moon. I mean it’s only fair for the Republic/Empire to have Mandalore join them since they’re the reason why Bo captured the planet. The Republic/Empire deserves something for breaking a treaty on her behalf that unmade Mandalore from being an independent system. Heck man the Empire gave Bo an option to keep being the leader as well and yet she still decided to start a war with them over nothing. 8 in Season 7 she tries to guilt trip Obi-Wan about if he really cared for Satine he would help Mandalore. What she did here is absolutely disgusting, especially within the context and situation Obi-Wan is in. People admiring Bo. The third reason is main characters admire bo, even though she did everything we just listed off previously. Ahsoka, obi-Wan, Sabine not to mention many others makes Bo out to be some good person fighting for freedom. Now Bo could be a better character if she was treated as a villain that she is. Really the issue is that everyone has forgotten her crimes and no one even mentions the crimes, which is her being a career terrorist. I can’t state this enough In everyone of these tv shows she has been a radical, like she kills innocents and fights for her own interests. She never changed, but she’s framed as a good guy. The fourth reason is within 10 seconds Bo essentially becomes good in season five episode 16 of the clone wars and we’re supposed to accept it. The worst part is Rebels where she says that to kill people is not the Mandalorian way. Another example of how she didn’t change is almost every time we saw her in the first two seasons and early in season 3 of the Mandalorian. Why am I using this as an example? She’s a complete narcissist, awfully rude towards the main characters, and just about every time she helps him it’s because she might get something from it. Bo even killed an unarmed fighter pilot on Moff Gideon’s ship. What’s the timestamp of this? The time stamp is 13:34 of season two episode eight. Bo has never changed, even though the shows wants you to believe that she did. Bo was perfectly fine with killing innocents, but what happened when her boyfriend died? She betrays the rule of the strongest on top of that there’s nothing that doesn’t look identical to a grab for power. Do I even need to mention how she has never changed her goal or stopped being a terrorist? If she truly changed her goal she would simply refuse to be the leader ever. In a nutshell Bo Is a self-serving sociopath therefore she shouldn’t be treated as if she’s a saver by anyone. The writers don’t know what to do with Bo and realistically the majority of Mandalorians would refuse to let her be the leader since every conflict that transpired is because of her. Man when no one criticizes her for killing innocent people or how she helped cause every conflict is bad writing. Bo suffers from the same thing Ahsoka does so bad.

Something I don’t get is why does the show need to explore the world building of the new republic and how it’s corrupt, what does that really add especially when they’re also tackling the mandalorian world building and the two are almost completely unrelated it feels Also why would the empire still care about mandalore at this point or still have a presence there, I get there is definitely a threat to the mandalorians out there, but why would the empire still be on mandalore especially after nuking it

[@JoRoq1]

The New Republic arc was most likely originally planned for the cancelled Rangers show. Favreau and Filoni are working toward a larger meta-arc between multiple shows. The Mandalorian is the core show, and the spin-offs (Boba Fett, Rangers, and Ahsoka) were to build out the larger universe to lead into a massive Endgame-style event. BOBF failed hard and Rangers was lost due to politics, so The Mandalorian is having to pick up the slack so that the pieces planned for Ahsoka will make sense. Unfortunately, this has been detrimental for The Mandalorian because the patches had to be put in with a relatively short (for a production schedule) deadline.

[@ryandodrill6904]

Disney absolutely hates the OT and all the heroes from it. The New Republic stuff suits their desire to destroy the OT and all the heroes from it.

[@smis84]

in my opinion they f*d up every good idea from the first season. It could be a good show about a perfect team (Mando, Cara Dune, Kuiil, IG-11, Mayfeld, Karga) working together to get Grogu to Luke. Simple as that, but they ruin it. They killed Kuiil and IG-11, fired Gina, blowed up Razor Crest... OMG - what a waste of time and money

[@luisfigueroa6710]

I saw that jack black and Lizzo were in this, along with a clip of Grogu jumping across the table and getting knighted, and knew that I have no interest in this anymore. This season SCREAMS Disney corporate intervention. It doesn’t feel right anymore. The original spirit of the show isn’t present, and it feels like episodes 7,8,9. Surprised they did not put “I’m lizzo skywalker”

[@robheaton]

Thor, I think your wife is right to shout “Disney!” from this episode. The state ballroom/dining room where we meet Jack Black and Queen Lizza, with all its colors, aliens, and accoutrement, was nothing but Disney inserting its parks in the SW universe, somehow having both royalty and direct democracy, and beyond this it’s not a surprise that the Plazir-15 infrastructure looks like Epcot. The episode was an embarrassment to the show, but makes complete sense if you think about it in parallel terms of how the Mandalorians are going to retake and fortify Mandalore and how Disney is going to then make its SW land look like “Mandalore.” Surprise, they don’t have to do much at all! Epcot is now Mandalore! Just add in a line about how Plazir and Mandalore are going to be diplomatic partners, and it’s not much of a stretch to see Bo-Katan and Din reaching out to the Plazir civil engineers for help building their next domed city. I may be way off base but I think Favreau’s hands were tied by the Mouse here, who demanded a parks-relevant tie-in. Also wouldn’t surprise me if Batuu suddenly becomes Nevarro.

[@THETYMEKK12]

Upon some consideration I think the whole cult/darksaber topic is more complicated than "it is a stupid plot". It is not written well but... The show both critiques and values the Mandalorian rules. Din and Bo-Katan win the approval at the end because they told THE STORY and the Mandalorians respect it - even if our two protagonists didn't really care about it. Poorly written, but not black and white. The same thing can be said about a lot of plot and character points this season. The show is having big identity problems - has a ambition to present a intriguing plot and themes (and imo it's all there beneath the surface) but also stays child-friendly and simplistic.

[@kingadamus8820]

Short answer, not good, just good visuals. Rumor is Kathleen Kennedy is at it again, interfering with Jon favreaus writing/plot into this whole season. The Lizzos acting, really bad. I love Jack black but they didn't mesh at all and took me out of the episode, even though I'm already done and over this whole season. Grogu hasn't made sense this whole season and shot down the meaningful ending of season 2. This just feels like it was done for merchandise purposes.

Din "losing" the darksaber because he got caught in a trap (not an honorable challenge with the stakes of losing said darksaber on the line) is NOT being challenged to hand to hand combat and losing; the show has already established this is not the case. If it was TECHNICALLY hers she would have believed that she earned it in the first place.

[@knightoforange7177]

I think this path they took with Bo and the darksaber was utterly redundant we had almost this exact scene back in rebels, all they've done is restore her back to that position she was previously in. You had a compelling tale with her being the leader who was mistakenly given the darksaber instead of earning it herself the first time and those who believe in the superstitions would say that's the reason mandalore fell to the empire. She needed an arc of building her back up and learning lessons and growing as a character, a warrior and most of all a leader. Instead she consistently saved the covert mandalorians because they were written to be incompetent to make her look amazing in comparison, and lucked into things like finding the mythosaur and the darksaber accepting her even though she didn't win it in combat. I'm not expecting the same level of character focused drama as Andor but some level of competent writing isn't an unreasonable expectation.

The armourer talks about a "new age" of Mandalore yet they're having Bo try again for the 3rd time... Bo taking the darksabre and ingniting it, again, in front of the Mandalorians is literally the exact same as in Rebels...

The reason she kept the helmet on and enforced that rule, was because after deathwatch. She knew people wouldnt follow her, knowing who she was. Thrawn is on Mandalore or the moon. Along with Gideon. Where better to hide on a planet in plain sight, because everyone believes its uninhabitable. Expect to see Thrawn as the credits roll on the season for Ashoka. And lets not forget the forgotten.

Now that the Darksaber is gone (from his procession), what's the point anymore. (I wish he would become Mand'alor with themes similar with Aragon from LOTR and Socrates idea of a Philosopher King)

[@paulab5264]

I agree with Naboo about the darksaber, Din lost it on a technicality but he told the story at the proper time. He may have been waiting to see if Bo was trustworthy. Also I have always thought that Din does not want to lead, he is a lone wolf, not a polititian, Bo was raised to lead.

[@JoRoq1]

Agreed, but the exchange still played too quickly. There should have been more questioning of the story, as it was a rather convenient thing for Bo. Literally only 3 of the Mandalorians present had ever even seen Din before, let alone interacted or worked with him. I would have expected one of the others to question the story, forcing Sasha Banks to respond and vouch for Din’s honesty based on her participation in the assault on Gideon’s ship. That would have done more to demonstrate the full importance of the exchange.

[@UpTheChels10]

It completely undermines the writing in Rebels, and completely undermines the writing in its very own show as the Armorer specifically points out that many Mandos believe she is responsible for the Night of a Thousand Tears because of her literally doing the EXACT same thing with Sabine Wren. How in the world, is this supposed to be the moment we all look at her as the "leader" when we have seen how this exact story ends. And lets apply common sense. You are a Mando, super religious and reference to the creed. Bo accepts the Saber out of the Creed, which I dont understand how people are having this confusion of how to win the Dark Saber properly when Ursa Wren explained it in pretty good depth to Ezra when watching Sabine duel Gar Saxon, but nonetheless, accepts it and then the Night of a Thousand Tears comes later. People lost everything. Literally everything, imagine earth was nuked to death and your religious and you think the reason it happened was cause this person went agaisnt the gods, and then bam she does the same exact thing and those people are know just gonna follow her?

It takes an incredibly charitable reading of what happened on Mandalore to call any of that honorable combat.

[@notwhatitwasbefore]

@@donkeysaurusrex7881 Well as for Din being a chosen one that episode does sink the idea rather well. First we have Bo rescue Din in as you say not exactly 'honorable' combat but a rescue none the less and at that point he had 'lost' the darksabre. After that Bo has to again rescue Din when he nearly drowns. Without Bo Din was un-alived twice and very much not the chosen one/hero/saviour of Mandalore, its almost as if the destiny/fate was doing everything it could to remove the Darksabre from Dins possession once he reached Mandalore. All the troubles he has had weilding it were a sign but once on the homeworld the rejection had to go in to overdrive to prevent the wrong person using it anymore. The sabre was there for the taking twice by Bo while Din was in danger and twice Bo chose to save another mandaloriann instead of just take the symbol of power and leadership. The first time she used it in combat (way better than Din ever has) to save a Mandalorian and when she returned it the destiny or whatever again chose to remove DIn from its possession allowing Bo to just claim it while it sits on a rock but as a true leader she chose not o take the symbol and the easy path but to risk all to save a mando. Due to the selfless and honorable acts she is given a sign by seeing the Mythosaur while Din did not. As Star Wars is a galxy with fate/destiny playing a real role (seemingly at least with the jedis chosen one prophecy at least) it would seem Din's role was to be the one to hold the sabre and provide the tests/path to the rightfull ruler(s), a safe pair of hands while the destiny falls in to place. Din barely knows Madalore and rarely if at all shows leadership qulaities nor the desire, he has almost no clue as to the history and traditions of the people beyond his very limited cult but is honorable and knows in himself that the reigtful weilder of the darksabre should be the one to have it. Bo was not ready to rule despite the desire and possition (royalty) until tested repeatedly by Din, At first she was likely willing to challenge Din and kill him for it but ultimatley didn't (passed the first test) then again tested twice more by being the option of sabre or the weilder after those tests were passed she was put on the path to reunite the factions and given the blessings of fate and all the tools needed to do so. After the rebuilding of Mandalore by Bo the sabre will pass on to the next and true Mand'alor Grogu who still needs time to grow in the force and become a new sith lord (hes rejected being a Jedi after all)

They put droids in a mortuary chamber just so their is the morgue scene were everything is revealed, the nanothings containing all the information ... it's just bad writing. And even when everything is contrived thay have dialogs that re-explain the situation. Paz had to say to Din and Bo that he owes them, Din has to tell Woff everything we saw in, ep 2 where we all thought "well technically she could keep the saber" I feal insulted and I'm glad I'm not the one paying for Disney + at this point. And one more time we have the confirmation grogu should not have been in the episode... I mean, Din taking Grogu in his ship now, for some reason let it to this Duchess and an ex-Empire captain, then to once again conviently not taking his jetpack where it could have been useful. And the automated landing was very confusing to me as well. This mean you can just hack any ship. This sociaty, that is in the outer rim but as a monarch, and can't have an army but can employ mercenaries, this doesn't make any sense. Why were they waiting for Bo and Din if they have a whole squad of mandos just outside the city.

Bad episode, bad season. Bringing Grogu back negated The Mandelorean’s mission. Nobody on this planet worked except the Robots, Ugnaughts and Christopher Loyd. Shouldn’t he have been prime suspect? It was silly, the droids just had minor unconvinces. They found a business card on a Droid…? Why, it’s not like they don’t have an actual CPU for a brain. Why did Grogu get knighted? He helped Lizzo cheat during Botcha Ball or Cornhole? The acting was really bad with too many cliche’s and unoriginal dialog. “Doc, you served my Family well for many years. I will banish you to the moon of bla bla blah.” Compare that dialog to the dialog of Jor-EL banishing General Zod to the Phantom Zone.

aside from the beefy battledroid going full terminator i was just kinda bored? this season has been very stale in my opinion, not a lot of action and plot is not really going anywhere that fast.

Also known as Guest Actors For Hire. OMG, what a horrible story! Misuse of characters old and new. Ridiculous tainting of Mandalorian lore. The whole passing of the Dark Saber weakens every character involved. Whoever, was responsible for this episode / story / season 3, actually… must be fired. If this show is canceled, I wouldn’t shed a tear. What a shame, S1 and S2 was great Star Wars vs. Book of Boba Fett and S3 of Mando are rubbish!!!

This season has been Disney WOMENS PIWER CRAP! MOST WOMEN CAN NIT BEST A MAN IN A FUGHT!!! Hate to shatter your fantasy. THATS WHY RATINGS ARE BAD! Along with a story that has horrible pacing. Katie stole Pedro's story line. So cheap! Dark Saber can be a gift??? Sad, the show can't falling its own rules. Let's reward the crap leader who beteayed The Way.. Who lost the blade in the first place! Grogu has 20 min. on screen this season. NOT ENOUGH! Disney. Get your $h!T right!
