I know we’re only half-way through, but who else agrees that season 2 is already even better than the first one? I love season 1 to bits, and I don’t think it’s entirely comparable because season 1 works best as a smaller-scale and self-contained show, but this season already has so many great ingredients. We have great subplots with Bo-Katan hunting the darksaber, these two ‘police officer’-like New Republic pilots following the Razor Crest, Cara Dune possibly rejoining the New Republic, Boba Fett searching for his missing armour, Moff Gideon creating a new army of Dark Troopers, and of course the search for this mysterious Ahsoka Tano. Best part is none of this feels overcrowded to me. Jon Favreau and the Mandalorian creative team (as well as all the Disney overlords) could have said, “well this first season made us a lot of money, let’s review what people like most and try and replicate it”. Instead, they were confident that they could change the scale of the show and make it better, as well as making outlandish decisions, and so far they’ve been true to their word. I appreciate that a lot.
