Show has gone to shit, Disney can't help themselves. They somehow ruined the one thing they had going for them that was universally loved.
Shouldn't have destroyed the entire point and journey of the first two seasons by immediately reuniting grogu and jin before the first episode of season 3. Grogu has served no purpose this season and it was clearly a Disney call so they can keep peddling grogu merch. Their reunion should have been earned and taken at least the entirety of the third season. Kathleen Kennedy has no idea what works or what's special about star wars and as long as she's in charge we'll keep getting hit or miss shit like this. Fuck that rough face no talent bitch.
You are only looking at it as a stand alone series.
You have to keep note about the film’s Episodes 7 - 9.
Grogu was never mentioned in the films. And in Episode 9 when Rey was unconscious, we never heard Grogu’s voice when she was unconscious and only heard the voices of all the Jedi going back to Episode 1 motivating her to wake up.
Grogu is obviously important in the full story. Grogu possibly may have hooked up again with Luke at the startup of his Jedi Academy and possibly been one of the Jedi taken out by Kylo. Or something else happened to him in relation to whatever devious scheme Palpatine has going on with his Final Order.
Also, in Episode 9, when the final battle came with the Rebellion we saw some Mandalorian ships spread in the fleet, but never actually saw any Mandalorian’s. It is still up in the air if the Mandalorian’s we’re still around during those movies after this series, being they were never mentioned by name or even shown in those 3 films.
This series has about 2, possibly 3 seasons before wrapping up. A lot is gonna drop between now and the series finale connecting this series directly into Episode 7.
Don’t go nitpicking on silly shit and watch it for what it is of filling in the blanks of George Lucas’ mess, that he sold to Disney, who is doing a good job of cleaning it up in my opinion.
