First cut coming in at the 3-hour mark, which is much longer than I would like. Annoyingly Mando’s trip to see Grogu completely derails the story, interferes with pacing and adds a huge chunk of time. I really wish they hadn’t used this series to reunite Mando and Grogu.
If pacing is an issue, have you toyed with making Mando’s visit to Luke’s planet a flashback in itself? That way you avoid the awkwardness of Mando telling Fennec “yeah, I’ll help you out…after I run some errands first.”
