I'm usually not that critical either  lol

I think the previous two episodes in my mind were the best of the series so I was probably hoping for something to 'top' them. Perhaps a second watch later will help  :)

Exactly the same over here!

Regretfully not.


I am happy that Din and Grogu somewhat saved the entire season, but did the final episode really need a real time narration by Fennec Shand? After that it was a bit of everything from Star Wars, but not at it's best. I liked the sneaky Twi'Lek doing what he thought he could best and the Rancor was cool too. The hunter killer droids from Cyberdyne were cool too, but those rag tag helpers of Boba could never stand their ground.
The moment when Boba finally (was) remembered who or what he is saved my believe in this character at last. Final scene was paramount. Now we are free...

Yeah, lots of separate bits were cool, they just weren’t put together convincingly.

Never mind. Onward and upward and it’s still a great gaming inspiration  8)

Wow, I was blown away. The last episode is a killer. Rodriguez managed to bring in in a good way to the peak. Every episode a bit more. This is better than part 7 to 9 from my point of view.

I felt that the climatic shoot out felt too much like a junior school panto, the pacing was bad, very poorly put together, almost half bothered.
I still hate the Mods, they're massively out of place, riding around on those dumb ass Flash Gordon scooters all day and they're not even dusty. They don't belong on tatoine at all.
Over all, an enjoyable diversion, but not a patch on most of the Mandorian.

I enjoyed that, lots of fun and nothing overly serious. Big homages to 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid', 'The Alamo', 'King Kong' and probably some stuff I missed. It was like watching my childhood toys fight and it did make me smile.

Plus the compulsory after-credit scene had me shaking my head in a "She's just so cool" moment.
'Sir John ejaculated explosively, sitting up in his chair.' ... 'The Black Gang'.

I think one of the problems is that ultimately the Disney series are hamstrung by Star Wars episodes 7-9.
It was cool when Luke showed up to rescue Grogu but because of what happens later on, Luke has to have become even more of a tool than he was originally. 😁
My own opinion is that the fashion for retconning doesn't half balls things up. Its the result of wanting to expand profitable franchises but also writers/producers wanting to make their mark.
Ep 7 was fun though!

I must admit it wasn't what I was hoping for.But when your ten year old sits playing spot the movie. It's probably worse than you think. Troll Hunter,and of course King Kong ( which was met with OH KingKong seriously! I tried to explain it was even older than the Jack Black one. But being asked if I enjoyed seeing the original as a kid( l should be thankful for that I suppose. )was more entertaining
He was particularly wounded because he'd spent all day avoiding spoilers. Then it popped up whilst watching halo infinite videos 'Banes death scene '

Even my ten year old couldn't get his head around the idea of not going to the Palace and staying to street fight was somehow better for the residents.

Mind you they do make a particularly tough mud brick wall in that part of town.
To be fair he was impressed with Bobbas knee attack.

Yeah; it's apparent that bountyhunters best work alone, because their grasp of even basic group tactics appears to be beyond them ::)

Splitting up his forces, without proper backup, in neutral but potential hostile territory, was questionable to say the least. He should have kept them in OPs on his own turf, near strategic in-routes, ready to fall back on the night club once contact was made.

But obviously the palace, with its meters thick walls, would have been a much tougher nut to crack in the case of any assault.

A better view of the surroundings would have been possible (I take it his own insertion into the palace would have prompted him to close off those points of ingress and observation and hopefully a closer look at any other potential security holes), and duking it out there would have protected the populace and habitation centres a lot better than staying in a bombed out night club in the middle of a residential area ever could.

Especially when pulling the Rancor out of the pit and into the fray; it probably did more damage to the town than the syndicate ever did! lol
