Chapter 24: The Return

He is no longer swallowing frogs. Making them float, maybe. And he doesn't appear to need his floating crib any longer.

He's no longer passing out when he expels the least bit of force energy.

And he's no longer afraid.

The red guys get their just desserts. I was kind of hoping the big guy survived. But at least his son did.

We finally got to see the full extent of Moff Gideon's hideousity. It was as if sections of the death star were used to create his base. But Mandalorians are stronger together.

One Mandalorian saga ends, a new one begins.

Honestly, I don't know if this represents the end of the story. There is certainly room for more tales to be told.

Mando becomes a type of Kwai Chan Caine.

And... did they go back and pick up IG11's pieces?

While the season as a whole was a letdown this episode was not the worst... but it deffinetely could have been better! Some great and intense action scenes! I enjoyed the fights, more than I thought and they were a bit creative at times! It was cool to see them all unite and fight! Sometimes you just wanna see something cool and this episode gave us that!

The ending was... idk, but I cannot say i am as excited for season 4 as I was for season 3 after season 2!

I still feel like there are missed opportunities this season! A lot of the elements from this and the previous episode should have been the focus throughout the whole season! Introduce Gideon sooner as well as the other Mandalorian warriors, to make this episode even better! Instead It feels half baked once we get to the end! Still some plotlines left open, but maybe we get answers if we get a season 4 or in Ahsoka!

I really hope Ahsoka will deliver, and not another Kenobi disaster!

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.

While the season 2 finale was one of the best episodes of any season I have watched and therefore a tall order to match, 'The Return' ties up the loose ends from season 3 nicely while setting the precedent for many more adventures to come for Din Djarin and Grogu.

Din Djarin and Grogu get to show what they're really capable of throughout this episode, something that has been lacking throughout season 3, and something I am excited to see a lot more of.

There were a lot of fan theories floating around about how this episode would wrap up the many subplots throughout this season, and the fact that many of these were off the mark doesn't make it poorly written in my opinion. It did however feel a little safe and there were no real surprises that emerged, but the simplicity of the Mandalorian was what made the first two seasons so brilliant. I hope this is a sign of things to come (and Jon Favreau has confirmed a script for season 4 has been completed!)

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.
