What a great excuse to post this clip...
Maybe I'm just too old and cynical - it does feel very much like a series for kids now. Perhaps it always was...
Suspect that my time with Star Wars is pretty much over until Andor Season 2 comes along. That's not a bad thing - I've enjoyed the universe since seeing the original movie in the cinema on release, so it owes me nothing.

It feels like with three episodes to go, season 3 has all been preamble to season 4.
We've had a setup for a Moff Gideon plotline (likely featuring the Coruscant Council Estate gang), the beginnings of Bo Katan's next season plot, a teaser of what we might find out about Grogu next season, the beginnings of a "bigger threat to the New Republic" plot, and no time to bring any of those near to a satisfying conclusion before things wind up until next year (or longer...)
Strangely, Din Djarin is basically a spectator to all of those things. For a guy we all assume has his name on the title card he seems oddly uninvolved in his own show.

*She's one of my favourite characters and actresses, so I dont' mind the shift in focus to her at all!
I mean, very little actually feels realistic, even in Suspension of Disbelief Star Wars world. But I won't get drawn into....***How can any world or city on any planet not have basic air defence technology that could make a pirate ship think twice!!!??? It just cruises overhead, and not only did they not shoot at it, they didn't even know it was coming!! And why would it just loom overhead indefinitely in the atmosphere? And why are the mandalorians not actually good at fighting (at all!?). Felt like a great opportunity to show how special they are, but turns out they only had one special gun, and even that wasn't as good as the one special pirate gun with balcony/ship's deck mount!!! And what about the pirate ship shields?!! It had no shields?!*** ... banal criticism and cynical moaning which doesn't really do any good at all. Big waste of time tbh.
For every person complaining that the flashy, thrill-a-minute Mandalorian lacks the subtlety and nuance of Andor, there’s another person half asleep in front of Andor wondering when they’re going to stop talking and something’s actually going to happen.
This. I'll always give a series the full run to tell its stories, because sometimes the payoff of something that didn't seem relevant or necessary or even related to everything else that was going on doesn't come until late on.
I mean... sometimes it stays a mess all the way through, but you never know until you watch the whole thing.

Mandalorians are supposed to be these elite warriors - yet there's no evidence of this anywhere when we see any of them fight. It seems to be more based on luck (and the bad guys being crap shots, as is standard for Star Wars).
They do seem to be more heavily armed, and better armoured than most of the others. We got plenty of stuff early on with Din Djarin versus multiple goons that were quite impressive, but I'd agree that the fights with groups of Mandalorians haven't been very impressive.

This is still the frakking way.
I know I'm probably in the minority here too but completely agree. The purpose of the show appears to have become 'keep making more show'. I imagine there will be a scene or set piece in the finale that get people talking like that scene in season two but overall this season has felt like a lot of padding.
