It pains me because I love this show… but this was just not good. Nothing happened, we didn’t learn anything new that we couldn’t have been told in the first 5 minutes, and there was no real overarching plot for this episode.

I haven’t lost hope for the season, I think it set up a lot of plot it can hopefully pay off in fun ways, but this episode was a miss for me.

This is a significant downgrade to the previous seasons. The production quality is perfect. A bit childish, but good. But this first episode lost it's touch from what it did so well in the first 2 seasons.

Loved the opening to this season, instantly brought me back in. It's just nice to be back in this world and with these characters. I enjoyed the setup this episode brings us and for where the story may go this season. It does seem to be falling back into the side quest thing but I don't hate that, I just hope there's enough of an overarching story.

I’m starting to wonder why I’m watching a show that is designed for children.

Daa daa daaaa da da this is the way! Yay it's finally back for another season!

Sound and music is great. Like in previous seasons, that seems to be again the show's greatest asset. A worthy soundtrack for a space-western. Morricone would have been proud of you.

Plus, this show seems to be the only installment of the Star Wars show that creates believable and visually pleasing stages out of this giant LED wall.

The kid and all those little technicians are adorable as ever.

Otherwise not much happens really... the slow progress in the story is thinly veiled by some well executed but ultimately pointless action sequences.

@everythingafter you needed to watch the Boba Fett show. It’s basically Mando season 2.5. We see what happens with Grogu and Luke

A bit underwhelming, to say the least. Hope it gets better for the rest of the season.

They had Swamp Thing in space. Hahahaha

What an opening scene! What an episode of action and visual bliss. This was Star Wars porn.

When the droid dropped the statue on IG-11's head, and Mando said, "That's using your head," that was severely disappointing. It sounded like a line out of an '80s/'90s action-adventure film, which is not a good thing. I hope that it doesn't portend things to come this season.

I watched Ep. 5 and 6 of Boba Fett and those two episodes were great. This one less so.
Disney have long ending credits don't they?

Bo Katan seeing a spaceship heading towards the palace/fortress, running to change her food-stained clothes and just arriving in time to the throne to strike a pose -Yeah, I'm just casually chilling here like this all day, problem?

loading replies

A big fat meh. The whole episode felt like a video game side quest, forced combat encounter and all. The writing was whatever and none of the scenes were very interesting or unique, it was all either mindless action or really dull talking. I really miss season 1, this show has been steadily declining since last season started and I'm afraid this will be the worst season yet. The characterization and writing in this show continues to suck, all of the Mandalorians are such idiots and never seem to make good decisions, Bo Katan was woefully out of character, and Din Djarin's character is still hampered by the presence of Baby Yoda, who was fun in the first two seasons, but really should have been left behind for the third.

Also hated seeing the space whales, this show is bad enough without reminding me of Rebels. Please don't throw Thrawn into this, he's already been irreparably damaged by his last on-screen appearances.

One of, if not the weakest episode this show has put out thus far. Not a great start. I also feel I should take a moment to say how much I dislike what they did by putting the most interesting plot of this show into an entirely different one instead. They didn't make it very clear, but The Book of Boba Fett is required viewing before starting season 3 of The Mandalorian. The Grogu/Luke plotline, which was the most interesting part of this entire show, was explored and resolved in the second half of the season during the Boba Fett show. It's one thing to have crossovers and includes characters, locations, and other aspects from one show in another, but it's downright annoying and inconvenient to resolve an entire main plotline in a totally different show, only to then just gently brush over the entire thing in the returning season of the original show. Mando/Grogu appearing in Book of Boba Fett should have been for some side content/something that simply wasn't super important to the main Mandalorian show. The way they handled this was awful.

Space cowboys vs. space pirates, space dogfight and space Swamp Thing! Now, that's how you kick-off a season!

Daddy Mando is back in search of forgiveness. As thin as the story may be, it takes us to wonderful worlds and creatures that Star Wars last had to offer in its best days. It's the details, the settings, the relationship between Mando and Grogu, all of that, that revive this wonderful atmosphere already with the opening episode of season 3.

More infantile content with caricature baddies from Disney.

A fun and action packed return, though the end is just sudden.

Way too short for a series premiere , really needed a bit more

Great to finally have the dhow back with another season. Still this premiere episode left me a bit underwhelmed.

loading replies

Pretty solid season premise, consider me officially hyped. I just hope it won't take them 8 episodes to get there and end on a cliffhanger.

loading replies

It feels like these episodes are rather short at only 30 minutes.

Maybe I don't get something in that Star Wars universe, but can somebody explain me what's the point behind that ridiculous "never take off your helmet" rule? How does he eat and drink? How does he sleep? Does he seat on a toilet in it too? Hump in it as well? How does he washes his face and hairs from sweat and all in order to avoid lice and bedsores? I don't even start that it's obviously unhealthy for your eyes to see the world through the helmet 24/7 and other things like that.
And some plot details just making me roll my eyes.. like when he comes to that totally empty planet to some totally empty Mandalorian castle and there is just one girl lying on the throne - doing nothing at all. He talks to her and leaves and she just keeps lying there, keeps doing nothing. Such an unrealistic empty world..

But.... nothing happens. The music was phenomenal though.

10 minutes of plot advancement plus a bunch of ADHD filler...

Leaning heavily into the Kaiju from the beginning with added cute gnomes. Can we really blame Grogu?

loading replies

I really enjoy this. But I agree way too short. Seems like they had plenty of material. Also, one of the episodes goes in a totally different direction. Really best to always have the Mandalorian and Groguu in all!

without grogu"s help I can"t see a thing. this had better improve double quick. mind you. i should be 15.

too damn dark I can't see half what's going on:weary:

I liked the interaction between Din and Grogu, otherwise this episode didn't do much for me.

loading replies

this was a good season opener and does well to establish the season mission: revisiting mandalore. Kinda too dark looking, could have used some popping up.

loading replies

“Now that’s using your head” is the kind of punchline only Arnold Schwarzenegger could get away with in an 80s action movie. Also, can we please go back to the production techniques that were used on Andor? This looks like shit.

"Hellooo, I am Babu Frik's cousin, Jeremy Friiik."

There is no way that was only 35 minutes long! So much content to dig through. I need to get more info on that zebra-striped ship. It looked Separatist.

All Star Wars recently has been knocking it out of the park, but it's especially good to have this one back. This is the series that started Star Wars on its road to recovery after the Sequel Trilogy. It will be interesting to see what parts of the post-Return of the Jedi world get preserved going forward.

Uncertain about this episode. The opening scene felt clumsy, as did some of the dialogue.
Are Mandalorians loyal? Is that why he’ll go to such lengths to fix a droid?
The battle scene amongst the ‘space rocks’ was typical Star Wars fare I suppose.
