    What are people's thoughts on  Mandalorian S3? 

    Some episodes were clunkers, but the last 2 episodes were fantastic... as was the Navarro pirate battle episode. 

    It was definitely a step back from the high bar set by Obi Wan & Andor, but still true to the first two seasons, if that makes any sense. 
    I liked the expanded emphasis on the culture and story of Mandalorians. I am curious to see how the presence of the mythosaur is developed going forward. After the brief glimpse of it earlier in the season, I thought there might be something more substantial that was going to happen with it.

    Andor was compelling. really well done.
    Loved it... can't wait until S2 & I hope they make more shows in this vein.

    Agreed. 

    I guess we're going to get a 4th season, and also a movie to tie it all together after the fact. I could have done without Moff Gideon as the antagonist again, but I enjoyed it all the same.

    I’m still really struggling with S3. We’ve only got the last 2 episodes to go, but it’s been such a disappointing season that we’re in no rush to finish it.

    I had a day last weekend where kid and wife were both other places.  Very rare to have hours to watch TV these days, let alone whatever I want to watch.
    Put in Mando S3.
    Have one or two episodes left and I really liked some parts and found some parts beyond boring.
    Whole plot line with Doc Pershing and Kane is pretty much unwatchable.   Awful.  Boring as hell.
    I love Jack Black.  Old school Tenacious D fan...saw them a bunch of times with no real crowd at tiny places when they were just starting.  That being stated, the part with him and Lizzo was lame.

    Conversely I still like Mando and his buddies...and love the Katee Sackhoff stuff.

    I also don't care when I finish.

    I very much enjoyed the last two episodes... they were the best of the season IMO, but not really enough to save it... they definitely lost a step after S2.

    Looking back on S2 in hindsight, with highlights like the Krait Dragon episode, the 1st Bo Katan appearance, Asohka's episode, the return of Boba Fett, Bill Burr's S2 episode...  S3 was a pretty big let down.

    Finished Mando, the last episode was indeed badass

    Looking forward to the next one....mainly because I love Rosario Dawson in anything.  I know that she will be all made up to look unrecognizable....but she will still be awesome.  🔥

    Has anyone watched any of Ahsoka yet? As much as I was looking forward to it, I think I’m too burnt by Mandolorian S3 to start.

    It's becoming The Walking Dead with all the spinoffs.

    I needed to watch the premiere over two nights. They dropped two episodes at once and it was too much. Haven't gone back for episode 3. It wasn't bad, but it was just a live-action version of the Rebels cartoon. I want to like it but I don't know that I do.

    I couldn’t get thru mando season 3.  Ahsoka two episodes in is awesome.

    I'm enjoying Ashoka, but I also enjoyed Mandalorian s3.  I like the mandalorian stuff.   The old Knights of the Old Republic games focused a lot of mandalorians, so I've enjoyed watching it get fleshed out a bit.

    Loved rebels, so Ashoka feels like a natural continuation.   Only complain about episode 3 was that it was too short :)

    Yeah, we were watching it and it when it went to credits it was a surprise. Hopefully that is the only episode that is that short.

    I’ve been enjoying Ahsoka so far, although I don’t totally buy into Dawson’s version of the character, she often comes across as smug to me, however I haven’t yet watched Rebels so her performance may be grounded in episodes I haven’t seen.

    Also, why did the last shot of episode 4 look like ass to me? Better to have just slapped on the wig and let it be.

    A couple other questions/comments linger from the episode but they’d be highly spoilery so I’ll wait on those, lol.

    I struggled w/ Mandalorian S3... it was definitely a step back from the 1st 2 seasons, not to mention both Obi-Wan and Andor really upped the ante for the live action shows, so yeah... it was tough to get through. 

    I'm enjoying Ahsoka so far, but agree w/ @DarthMaeglin about E4 & the ending. 

    FTR, I loved Rebels, and am enjoying the continuation of these characters' storylines & developments.
