Yeah…unless Grogu decides to stay with Luke. Except if he stays, he’ll get killed by Kylo Ren, so I’m assuming he chooses to go with Din…which makes me wonder what the point was of having him go off with Luke in the first place. I really have no idea what they can even do with Grogu going forward. I have a hard time imagining he’s gonna become an adorable little Mandalorian warrior, with a tiny helmet and jet pack.
My bet is that he decides to stay with Din, so Luke will deliver him back to Tatooine. Luke will then get involved with the war against the Pykes. I don’t like it, but I can see it happening.
I agree that if Grogu goes back to Din so soon it’ll take a lot away from the mando s2 ending, which will truly become the pure fanservice I’ve sometimes cynically looked at it as.
As for so many people enjoying this episode… most of the time, I’m glad to see different opinions. I’m happy when people find enjoyment value in things I don’t like! But with this, I can’t help but be frustrated that it’s getting more praise and excitement than episodes such as The Tribes of Tatooine, which actually do interesting and bold new things (such as exploring tusken raider culture to such an extent). It makes me think so many star wars fans care more about surprise character appearances, in any context, than actually good storytelling. And that’s just frustrating.
My suggestion? Add your opinion to things to balance it out. Get a rotten tomatoes account, an IMDB account, it’s quite easy - and give some episodes your honest ratings. I did that earlier today just to add my voice to the mix.
