After a long post-season 2 hiatus I was really excited for this show to be back, after all I hold the first two seasons as some of the best Star Wars material we've ever gotten.
So what's going on with this season? Even if you like it you simply can't deny it's much lesser than the first 2. We're halfway through and it feels entirely aimless. It's as if the momentum of the show has been suspended in carbonite. The writing is lackluster and barebones this season, and it's really feeling like a Saturday morning cartoon for 5 year olds. This episode is a prime example of that. We have a very short episode here that doesn't really give us much outside of the very predictable, illogical plot and some admittedly awesome backstory for Grogu. I hate the lack of natural, informed dialogue in this show. Why isn't Din asking Bo why she's had a major change of heart in joining the Covert, for example. That could be brought up in conversation to help cue us in on the state of the characters. The fact that the War Party is making a camp is incredibly dumb considering how much they were stressing time being of the essence, but if they're gonna do that can't they at least have them have all sit around the fire & have an interesting conversation? Also, the Mandalorians are being depicted as lackluster warriors the way they show so much ineptitude against the grisly foes that continue to attack them. The second half of this season is gonna have to be STRONG, that's all I'll say.
