I thought the finale had some contrivances that stick out and have been mentioned… Mando revealing his face to the audience for no reason in a drawn out sequence…

I had a totally different reaction while watching. I was glad they got that out of the way and in such a manner where it wasn’t story-altering. We know his name and what he looks like. Now we can get on with the adventure without the distracting tension of will he or won’t he with the face reveal.

He has some work ahead of him next year trying to find out where the baby came from and how to return him safely. I’m much more interested in the weekly adventures than what he looks like under his helmet. We’ve done that with Vader, Fett, and Phasma. We don’t need it here.

We have a deeper story and weekly adventures to worry about. Getting his identity out of the way early in the series (and without drama) is just another way this series distances itself from The Saga.
Let JJ do the mystery box thing. I prefer depth of story.
