Good episode, horrible season. Let’s hope for a good ending. This season will be a decent to good film at a roughly 100 minutes, but a below decent season whether they stick the landing or not. A multitude of the episodes this season has been some of the worst television I’ve ever witnessed.
And yes, some of The Mandalorian and the upcoming television shows are trying to give The First Order and New Republic some soul. I appreciate the effort, but Disney need to hire some quality writers to structure their shows better. A lot better. Most of us care zero about The Sequel Trilogy, so to even raise curiosity for “general fans” that don’t delve deep into their other media (books and cartoons and animated shows) they need to have a better plan and way better dialogue and not bombard each individual episodes with random, forced lore that has been spread thin several episodes ago.
The Mandalorian has gone from a Sci-fi western with a parent protecting a child to “Bo Katan’s adventures with Mando” and “The Rise of the New Republic”.
If Ahsoka and their other upcoming shows keep to Mandalorian Season 3’s standard, I will be jumping off the bandwagon before they can say Bantha. But then again, I have no attachment to the Cartoon Shows and like my Star Wars epic, gritty, real and engaging.
