My current thought is that Gideon was busted out by his own troops, and the beskar was left behind as a red herring to falsely implicate the Mandalorians.

I'm a little surprised they went with the loophole approach - "Bo Katan beat up the thing that beat me up" seems like it ought to be against the spirit of the Darksaber? But hey, apparently Mandalorians are also rules lawyers so whatever!

Yeah I was thinking about that when the episode happened so not too surprised it played out, it's the only real way to get her the darksabre since they'd never fight directly...

Also re: identity of the Mandalorians who freed Moff Gideon:

MartinFF7 posted...
Ideally, in lieu of a Mandalorian we haven't met yet, how about Bo Kattan's allies from those two episodes last season (Sasha Banks!!! and uh, some guy)

I know it's not confirmed yet but feeling it's heavily-enough implied to say that I called it...

Now I'm wondering what the last two episodes, especially the finale, will cover? Season 1 and 2 each had high-stake big battle sequences, but not sure what's going to happen this time? The retaking of Mandalore? Gideon resurfacing for another strike on Bo Kattan and company (maybe with hired Mandalorian guns still being disloyal so there's Mando vs. Mando conflict?)

Me after episode 6: what are they going to do for a flashy finale?

Me after episode 7: holy shit this finale is gonna ruuuuuule

Honestly let me say, one thing I was worried about this season is them possibly killing off Din Djarin. I mean surely they wouldn't but when the show's called "The Mandalorian" and so many others are being introduced, could it happen? Season 4 with Bo Kattan and Grogu?

Though that was more "meta" thought commentary on my part since Pedro Pascal is in The Last Of Us and doing more movies nowadays, I thought he might ask to be written off the show. And yet since he never shows his face, his role could always just be reduced to voice-overs and get someone else to wear the outfit... probably useless speculation but I'll feel better after seeing him survive next week tbh.

I never caught his name so he was always just "big guy" to me. When he was solo fighting and the show was clearly setting up his death I was going "noooo big guy!!", lol

Not sure how I feel about this finale.

It felt rushed, in some aspects, especially concerning Moff Gideon. And I am not a fan of the dark saber being destroyed.

On the other hand, I like the way they kind of wiped the slate clean and set the stage for the next season.

Admittedly, this season was not as great to me as seasons 1 or 2, but I am still hooked on the show and will eagerly await the next season and whatever comes next.

In some ways this felt like this could be a series finale. I obviously would be disappointed if it was, but it just gave that vibe. Like maybe Mando would appear as a guest star in future series but his story is done. I think more likely it's a springboard for the next story arc, since I believe I remember reading that the showrunners see the Mandalorian as a continuous story with no end in sight. Though the exact meaning of that could be left up to interpretation I suppose.

I just don't know how people can be positive about this. Everytime you think this show will do something interesting or fresh, it dials it back as quickly as it can. There's no development on any of these characters at all. The show has a moment of epic "Let's reunite the Mandalorian clans!!!" and it boils down to two 1v1 fights. DD gets captured at the end of last episode and basically frees himself with a little help from Grogu who was able to be perfectly sneaky and surprise the troopers. So the whole capture plot was just basic "I need to separate DD from the other Mandos for a bit". So much lazy storytelling.

I can't argue against that. I mean, with the Moff Gideon storyline, we got a glimpse of how detailed they had his master plans. The clones. Why he wanted Grogu. This all gets revealed to us and then Gideon dies all within the span of like 5 minutes. Talk about plot whiplash.

I just can't get over how this feels like a reboot of the series the way it ended off. Like it's going back to season 1 where Mando is a bounty hunter traveling the outer realm except this time he has a Grogu as a apprentice and Mandalor has been reclaimed by the Mandalorians.

Also one other comment concerning Grogu:
Did anyone else almost expect Grogu to say something at the water near the end of the episode? I was waiting for: "The way, this is"

I thought it was a fine finale. One thing I dont understand though,

Bo-Katan Kryze's family name is Kryze.

Paz Viszla's family name is Viszla.

Sabine Wren, Ax Woves, the Fetts, etc etc.

But Din Djarin's family name is...Din.

strange season. kinda felt like it moved in quicksand, and some of the pieces never really mattered, like that one girl who fried dr. pershing and... said a thing to moff gideon and that's it? I'll be curious to see where they go from here because I'm pretty sure mando is going to show up in other media, like Ahsoka.

No body no death. He was still in his armor and could have hopped off the cliff and jetpacked away to survive. So I'm not sold on him being dead just yet. Or them not having that one clone that opened its eyes survive.

I don't expect we are done with her. If we are that would be disappointing given the time spent on her/that plotline.

I enjoyed the finale and the season overall, though I agree the finale felt a little rushed.

I hope we're done with Gideon, like yeah I get it he's Giancarlo Esposito but I was satisfied with his season 2 capture (well duh s2 ended with one of the most exciting moments in modern Star Wars) and was hoping to move on this season. Obviously early in expecting some Mandalorian conflict that didn't happen.

This ending for him is like... oh is this the time now then? Did he really die or is some clone gonna come up or something? It would be different if they left at least a season of space for him to come back but instead it feels like the show's in a rut and we easily could've just not done this.

Apparently. I guess with GIdeon MIA presumed dead, the base destroyed, and no new orders they just went back to wherever those reinforcements were sent from. Those were the ones requested in the previous episode so they weren't loyal to Gideon or his mission and probably didn't really care about the Mandalorians/Mandalore. They completed their orders and went home I guess.

I've got to say that crashing a capital ship into a base where the entire mando army was inside might be the stupidest thing I've ever seen in Star Wars. Remember they have no comms contact so no way to know the situation on the ground. Here it is just 'heads up, dropping a whole fucking star destroyer on you try not to die, guys!'

Not to be some toxic star wars hater, but mando season 3 was kind of garbage. The jack black and dr pershing episodes were some of the worst star wars content ive ever seen

i liked mando s1&2 and andor

but obi wan, boba fett, and mando s3 were garbage, and idk how much longer i can hang in there

star wars really needs to hire a writer

it does feel like season 3 was less commercially/publically impactful than the first two seasons. I remember season 1, everyone was talking about it. The only place where I've heard season 3 discussed is this topic. I even talked with someone who was a fan of the show that didnt even know the 3rd season was going on, and it was already a few episodes in.
