Last episode out tonight at 3 AM EST.

I'm hoping it's a great wrap up since the last 2 episodes were amazing.

I really hope it's strong. Every episode has been good so far, with some (like 4 and 6) being absolutely amazing. Apart from the meme-chase in episode 3, it's been a consistently great show.

They had the accuracy of a drunk Stormtrooper, so they weren't that advanced.

Those things look like they were meant to breach fortifications, and deal with light armour. Those big guns weren't meant for anti personnel.

The rancor scenes were cool, and I am glad to see Cobb still alive.

Well, that was...kinda not good. For an episode 90% devoted to action, the action was not good and often downright silly. I already mentioned that dumbass spin the Mod guy did, but the way they just fuckin' clown car'd behind that one bit of cover instead of actually using their different positions to their advantage was dumb as hell. In fact, the vast majority of the action scenes just involved them sitting behind cover while being shot around.

And this is probably more a flaw in Star Wars as a whole, but it's super dumb that no one really died in that shootout. You have a bunch of unnamed Mods and Freetowners, have the droid and the Pykes take a few of them out FFS. The blaster fight is just super boring because we see Krrsantan take like a half dozen of them with very little effect, so it's undercut by thinking, "Well, good thing Star Wars' future technology is so shit because one grenade would have ended Boba Fett's entire group."

The entire series is also undercut by the fact that it doesn't really provide Boba's motivation. I can see that they were going with the idea that his time with the Tuskens made him want a "tribe," but there's just this huge disconnect between that and him deciding to run a mafia family in the middle of nowhere. You need to have a scene where people are being mistreated under Bib Fortuna and the other gangs. And if you're going to make a big deal about how people in the town are being ruined by spice, you also need to show that. I didn't even realize spice was a drug until last episode. You also need to make him the actual leader of the gang because it seemed like Fennec was the one in charge 90% of the time with Boba just going along with what she was saying.

This kinda didn't even turn out to be a good Mandalorian episode because him already reuniting with Grogu undermines the finale of S2 quite a lot. We shouldn't have seen Grogu after last episode - and honestly, we should haven't even gotten that end scene where Luke has him choose. There should have been a few episodes of Mando S3 without Grogu to have that mystery, to show how he deals with not having Grogu around.

Oh, and the ending was just super dumb. If I lived in that city, I wouldn't be happily bowing to Boba Fett, the dude just invited a gang war and brought in a rancor that destroyed half the fuckin' city.

Then they still suck because they were completely incapable of destroying the shitty sandstone walls of Nowhere City on Planet Bumfuck.

It annoys me to no end when bad guys don't use cover. This isn't strictly a Star Wars thing, although I do see it in Star Wars a lot. Do these guys have no sense of self-preservation? Have they never been in a firefight before? Overall, it's a little thing, but it takes me right out of it when the bad guys just stand out in the open and shoot until they get killed.

It's amazing how the laser fire seemed to be magnetically drawn to the
armor that covered less than a third of their bodies--even most the hits Krrsantan took were to his utility belt and epaulets...

A mixed bag

I like the good and I dislike the bad. The Rancor scenes were awesome. Seeing Grogu get half-assed was not. Watching Cad Bane get his ass whooped Tusken style was awesome. Seeing a shootout with accuracy comically worse than A New Hope was not. Watching the mayor and co get assassined was awesome. The fact that there was an after-credits scene was not. I like the idea of Boba Fett running the place to met out jobs and facilitate trading. I don't like the mix of quality. Shoddy special effects can be touched up in the future. Bad writing cannot. The prequels, for example, will never be saved by any amount of remastering. This was ok at best, but Mando S3 needs to up the quality again. I for one won't be sticking around for churning from Star Wars. It really wasn't acceptable then and it isn't acceptable now.

Please don't fuck up the Old Republic

That episode felt like I was watching Power Rangers, where you knew the good guys were going to win the day eventually, very little tension.

Also, they should have used Cad Bane earlier in the season and explore his connection with Boba Fett

Yeah, they had some history that sounded pretty deep, like possibly mentor-disciple deep. I never watched the cartoons--is this a callback to something that happened in those?

My mind goes to the fight between Obi-Wan and Vader in the original Star Wars...

.... sorta sticks out like a sore thumb.

At the same time, we laugh at Anakin vs Obi-Wan in Episode 3. Gotta find a balance.

This ain't it. But it almost is. Gotta wonder whether it was from a lack of ability or a lack of trying.

Well we know where the majority of the budget went.

I've always liked the "clean carnage" of tearing droids apart and the rancor totally delivered on that front.

Beyond that, was a fun watch, but basically it's just "yeah we won the fight" at the end of it all. Not that I have anything against that, and I'm glad we actually a proper protagonist vs. antagonist with Fett and Bane. Better than just taking out a whole bunch of low-character thugs and bosses.

That said I'm amazed Shand was able to garrote Shaiz, given Ithorians have four throats.

Cobb Vanth survived and is getting modded like Shand did.

I think we needed a season or two where he transitioned from most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy to heroic defender of the people. Or they could have left him as a bad guy, or at least relatively neutral. Good guy Fett is dull.

There was supposed to be an arc in the Clone Wars cartoon about kid Boba and Cad Bane teaming up on a mission and Bane pretty much mentoring Boba. It was supposed to end in a shootout between the two that resulted in Boba Fett getting the dent in his helmet that you can clearly see.

I wish they were all dying. The only ones that actually bit the dust were the two Gamorreans.

I swear, those droids were the least efficient war machines ever seen in the Star Wars franchise.

Also did anybody else think "why don't they just use land mines" while fighting the droids once it was established that energy weapons can't get through the shields and their kinetic weapons have too much velocity

We could already see that their bubble shields were either not extending below the ground or weren't able to stop it from passing through because it was a still object, so why not plant a few mines or grenades and lure them into walking over them

Don't even fucking tell me two Mandalorians don't have mines or grenades on them when they have literally every other type of explosive weapon in the universe stuffed up their butthole

Part of it, yeah. Boba is also sickeningly noble and good, and it just doesn't jive or work. Claiming the Tuskans changed him just isn't enough, as the series never shows any other side of him. Even when he briefly escaped in episode 1, he tried helping the other captive. So there is no character development at all.

Ok ok

In hindsight....

Two things. 1. This is what I was complaining about in Mando season2. Nice guy Boba Fett doesn't work. On the other hand (2).... Exploring this character arc to explain how and why he became a nice guy sorta fixes the one glaring problem from the Mandalorian show: wussified Boba Fett for seemingly no good reason. Now we have a good reason. They also did good things with Grogu's training. That episode was awesome.

In a way, for all its faults, this mends a few big plot holes from the Mando show

When Vader told him "No disintegrations," he was being ironic because he knew Fett was such a noble hero that he was the last person who needed to be told that.
