Personally, I would be happy to see Disney finally moving away from the legacy characters. The first season was quite effective in its lone gunman approach, although even that season had its filler episodes of varrying quality. The second season had way too much fan service for my taste, but generally the season was entertaining enough. Like many here I felt TBOBF completely removed the stakes by undoing the conclusion of the last season. This in my view was made worse by the fact that this show doesn’t have much story to begin with. The entire second season hinged on little more than Mando finding a Jedi, such that Grogu can get back to his kind. Putting Grogu back in the mix in two episodes of TBOBF felt cheap and pandering. Now IG-11 will be resurrected lowering the stakes even further. I think The Mandalorian had potential, but it would have been better if they had moved on from the character after season 2. Either that or hire a great team of writers to really flesh out the characters and a story for multiple seasons.
