Chapter 24: The Return

The score is noticeably worse than in season 2, but it's not all. The story just wasn't there. I'm concerned for the future of this show honestly leaving myself wondering if ending at Season 2 would've been best.

I'm not a Star Wars fatalist like many, and usually like all that comes our way, but this didn't feel like Star Wars. I know that's a stupid statement but it's true. It felt more marvel-esc with its thin plot and rather tasteless fight scenes.

The season took too long to not get anywhere, and an eight episode season should be quick moving without the random side quests season 3 took us on.

Yea, we end on a good note, I think this is by far the strongest episode of the season.

So we pick up right after the events of last episode and I did like it, the only parts I wasn't too gone on was the scenes between all the Mandalorians together but other than that yea I enjoyed it.

If a S4 is coming, I would hope they have a much better storyline that is consistent and continuous throughout because this season didn't have it at all.

This episode though, Din against the blaster walls one by one was really cool, more Grogu was also good, the big last battle was okay, I think it could have been better BUT good, enjoyable action and it has ended where we can have S4 and if we don't that will be okay but I would have loved a strong season to finish but it's Disney let's be honest we are getting another season, if so I think Grogu needs a solid story, Mando needs to be at the front of it again, too many stories this season lead to nothing really. This finale is the weakest of the 3 seasons but it's not bad, 8.5/10.

After a not really strong season and absolute two horrible episodes that gave me headaches this is really "The return".

The visuals are stunning and minor plotholes forgiveable as the overall arc for this episode was alright.

Also cinematic quality fx, lots of actually good made fights and putting the stupid red guard into their position.

The ending of the big fight scene is very emotional and very well made. Just fantastic.

I really dont know what went wrong with this season. The quality within the season in story, execution, dialogues were just not in the same league inbetween the different episodes. Probably some directors simply dont have it.

I used to tell my friends that this show was one of my all-time favoriter just two years ago. I would absolutely not say that after this season. Was it enjoyable? Yes, but the writing is lightyears away from the greatest shows currently on TV. Compare this to Succession's writing - it's day and night.

This show has got a bad case of the Disneys. It's too childlike and playful now. The writing is not smart. Things just happen and for the most part the things do not make sense. There are so many dumb decisions made by the bad guys too. If the writers want something to happen, it will happen. It doesn't matter if some other actions would be more logical.

Despite the problems the visual effects are impressive. It looks like a movie. The fight choreography is also very good. I think everyone involved is very talented, but they have to sacrifice the writing in order for it to be more Disneyesque.

Thie was a visual feast for the senses. From the breathtaking action sequences to the stunning landscapes, the episode truly delivered on spectacle. However, while the spectacle was certainly impressive, there were times where the story felt somewhat predictable.

Despite this slight flaw, what an amazingly enjoyable episode that highlighted the show's strengths. The dynamic between the titular Mandalorian and the charismatic Grogu remains a highlight of the series, and the dynamic was on full display in this episode.

The special effects were also top-notch, with the smaller-scale fight scenes feeling just as impactful as the larger set-pieces.

This is the weakest season of The Mandalorian but still very much worth the watch.
