After the astonishing episode last week, that not only set this show back on track but also connected all the storylines of this season.
The last episode concludes this rather rough season as good as it can. The action is top quality, the effects are masterclass and the plot is solid but not unexpected. It was great not to see Bo Katan girlboss but Mando, Grogu and her fighting together. Sure there are some plotholes and therefore this finale is the weakest so far, but it was the best Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni could do after Kathleen Kennedy made some fatal decisions.
Now this show is back on track without having wasted all of the season. Ahsoka has to deliver so the audience will return, but there is no disaster created by the Mandalorian.
The difference between Star Wars and the other Disney franchises is, that all the others are already dead, Star Wars still survives because the people working there love Star Wars and therefore will never give up making good quality stories for there belived franchise. Kennedy cannot ruin everything!
Now I want to talk a bit about the plot so Spoiler Warning here!
The darksaber is now destroyed in which may be the most powerful scene of the episode. This should prevent a lot of conflicts in the future.
Mando is now settling down with Grogu on Nevarro. This is great to see and they can now relax for a bit.
I think Moff Gideon survived because his "death" was not really shown. This is by far the most controversial part of this episode and I do not know yet if I like it or not.
Mandalore finally gets reincarnated and I hope to see progression in future seasons.
However I want them to focus more on Din and Grogu and their adventures.
All in all a solid season finale, that is satisfying but lacks of the big reveals and plottwists. All the hope lies now on Ahsoka which is produced by Dave Filoni.
