Chapter 22: Guns for Hire

What has happened to this show? This season has been bad, but now it's unwatchable. Not even the Doc could save it.

For one, I can't believe how bad the dialogue is.

Here's some examples: 'We're privateers...individuals for hire.' (thanks for thinking I'm a moron) 'Engaging automated guidance.' Mando 'What happened?' (are you kidding? How stupid has he become?) Bo-Katan 'They've taken control of the ship.' (why doesn't she say 'Are you deaf, or just dumb?') I guess we're going for a ride.' (great deduction) Mando: 'Why do they have imperial droids on an independent world?' Bo-Katan 'It's the outer rim (go on...) your guess is as good as mine.' (what?) 'Din Djarin and Bo-katan Krieze, your presence has been requested by the leadership of the planetary democracy.' Bo 'perhaps at a later time.' 'This is not a request.'

The plot is boring, the characters are stupid, the dialogue is horrible, and the acting is like children pretending in their back garden. This should actually get cancelled.

-Cheap attempts at humour.

-Unnecessary side jobs.

-Bad acting in areas.

-No plot.

-Power Ranger confrontations.

-In your face cameos.

-Scooby Doo villains.

Disney has made decent productions in the past but they seem to be falling into this pit of lazy writing. They won't stop as long as it rakes in the money, this goes for a lot of their recent shows and movies hiding weak plots under the skin of "entertainment" ruining good development and losing intelligent structure. Then there's the woke culture, but let's not get into that. It comes to my attention that all they care about is overdone morals and merchandise. I read a review where someone said it was like Disney are hiring 13 year old fans to write these episodes now, it certainly seems like it. Bo Katan Kryze and Din Djarin were wasted potential, they deserved much more.

I watched a video a while back on an essay viewing producers are taking over writers especially from Disney. So visions on how stories are structured are now becoming based on how a producer wants it to look, because Disney are right behind them. Fans want more Grogu cuteness so they throw it into the story even if it makes no sense or is just pathetic.

The Mandalorian was a good show to watch in it's prime, it showed the latest Star Wars trilogy how to bring the magic and thrill back into the Saga but keep that core narrative. Now it's just joining the rest down in the bin of forgetful plots. The opening sequence to this episode didn't feel like Star Wars at all, more of a low rated episode of Doctor Who. It drowns out core story for big budgeted production and eye candy visuals. Disney can afford it so why should they stop? I've seen shows with next to no budget master better at story than this.

Grogu does literally nothing now but "LoOk CuTe", what development was there one time is now him just flipping through the air like an inanimate object and using his force for games. "But it sells the toys", they would say for the same reason the latest trilogy was made. Disney can produce great quality stories, but when they get greedy, it's best to just walk away.

I really am hoping these next 2 episodes will be excellent but i feel like the show will be axed after this season. Maybe it's for the best.

Worst Episode of the series. Infact this entire Season has been 10% story and 90% comic filler. Where's the depth we had before?! Well, i think Dave Filoni left to write the upcoming Ashoka series so what writers were left had all the pressure before the deadlines, that's why this season seems empty. Disney wanted a season 3 despite it having limited writers, it's self explanatory really.

Please make the next 2 episodes justify this Season's downfall.

6/10.

So far nearly every episode this season has been ripe with filler. Which is odd because Disney has had zero problem making short episodes ranging from 30-45 min each

Season 1 & 2 set a consistent feel. Season 2.5 continued the feel by taking half of BOBF for itself. Season 3 though....feels like BOBF. Very disjointed.

I love watching Star Wars and will continue. Even when it's ugly. Because it helps support through the bad to get to the awesome. Clearly this season needs support and hopefully the hat comes next is awesome.

I am thinking this season is part of helping Big Disney with stock price crashing and Bob chapeck firing. One way to do that is to have a season full of new characters to sell more merch. But with so many shows projected and now more movies.... I think history will repeat itself during the sequel movies and SW stories....everything gets diluted. Season 3, kenobi and BoBF seem like the early waves of that filter content.

But out of that train wreck, we got: Rogue one Andor A couple cool Boba scenes Season 1 &2 of mando

...I look forward to the next magic to rise from the mashup of new shows/movies.

This is definitely the worst episode in the whole series so far. I mean seriously lizzo???

The story of this season is sooo unfocused, unnecessary characters come out of nowhere.

This season could have been great for the development of grogu and the mandalorian, but so far, none of that...... at all!

I am seriously sad, this series was really really good the first two seasons, but this season is a total mess, especially those couple last episodes.

In this episode, lizzo was terrible, she is definitely not an actress and she will never be.

They still have two episodes left and I don't think they will do big things, but i hope they will redeem themselves, just a little bit.

The Mandalorian has been a hit show since its release, but "Chapter 22 Guns for Hire" falls short of the high expectations set by previous seasons. While the cameos from Jack Black, Lizzo, and Christopher Lloyd are a unique addition to the show, they don't elevate this particular episode and feel like forced additions.

The writing in this episode is mediocre at best, with a predictable and slow-paced plot that lacks the excitement that we've come to expect from the series. The episode feels like a filler installment and doesn't advance the overarching storyline in any significant way.

The quality of the show has taken a decline, noticeably different from previous seasons. There is a lack of urgency and tension, and the action sequences are lackluster compared to what we've seen in previous episodes.

It's disappointing to see the show take a step backward in Season 3. While the cameos from Black, Lizzo, and Lloyd may be a fun surprise for fans, "Chapter 22 Guns for Hire" fails to live up to the expectations set forth by previous episodes. Hopefully, the forthcoming episodes will return to the series' high standard.
