  The biggest issue was they spent two seasons building up a dramatic, heartfelt separation between two characters who grew to love each other yet knew they had to leave for the good of the other and pulled the scene off beautifully...but then undid all of it with no time to let it settle in, no real fanfare, and (most insultingly of all) in another show in a desperate attempt to salvage it.<br><br>Basically, they screwed over The Mandalorian to try and save Book of Boba Fett and wound up wrecking both.<br><br>Season 3 never really recovered from what is possibly one of the most literal patch jobs in modern entertainment.

  The Mandalorian is yet another case of an inspired idea that breaks the mold of a stale franchise, only to have the studio come in and remove everything that made it special. I saw the fall coming by season two, but I never thought it would take such a nosedive as season three did.

  Star Wars feels like a universe with the population of a small town.

  Going into season 3, I was so ready and excited to watch Din go through almost an Aragorn-like arc of going from this outsider warrior to begrudging ruler. and then for them to just.... not commit to any of the incredible plot points they had set up during the season 2 finale was just so disappointing

  One thing that threw me off so much was him giving up the dark saber. You can defend it all you want by saying that he &quot;hates being the main character&quot; but the truth is that the entire show has been about him taking responsibility. He took responsibility over Grogu, he took responsibility over a small group of friends, and wherever he goes he takes the responsibility of helping people. In the beginning, he was not that kind of person, he had to learn and grow to get to that point. The next logical step would be for him to take responsibility over his people. But instead, he chucks that responsibility at the nearest terrorist and fucks off to the desert.

  Season 3 felt like watching Mando play an open world game, where he finished of the main story and now just does all the markers left on the map.

  Finally someone mentions how pointless Grogu’s presence in season three felt. He had nothing to do, and you LITERALLY could have cut him from the season entirely and it wouldn’t have changed any of the major plot or character beats. This is especially clear when you see how important he was in the last two seasons. I mean it was pretty obvious he was too popular of a character to not include, but the fact that they couldn’t even come up with a way to work him into the story better is what really annoys me.

  I don&apos;t know what caused this problem, but somewhere along the way, people stopped understanding that every story has to end, and it&apos;s better to let them end well than to drag them out until they stop being profitable. The fans keep clamoring for more stories about the characters they already know and love, so that&apos;s what we get.

  It just seems like the writers were afraid of making Bo-Katan an antagonist, or at least an opposing figure to Din. We have to like both of them so there&apos;s no conflict, therefore no stakes.

  The Mandalorian is the show to finally unite the Star Wars-fans again: First by being a pleasant surprise and until disappointing EVERYONE in season 3. Truly a masterpiece.
