Online Series: The Mandalorian III- NO Politics-Mysterious disappearance of Cara Dune

[Richard]

I haven't watched this episode and I think I'll sit the rest of this season out. I'll check out Ashoka -- if it stinks I'll cancel Disney Plus.

 

[MadDevil]

I will say that this episode was my least favorite of the season so far. The last few minutes were very good, and I found the droid bar and their situation interesting, but the cameos were a little too much and kind of took me out of the episode. I might feel differently on subsequent watches knowing they're there.

It felt like a live action version of a weak episode of TCW.

 

[Jussi]

I was wondering why it didn't occur to Din and Bo and was waiting for it to come up. I was hoping that it wouldn't and that they'd have to fight over it, though, since this resolution was kind of lame and anti-climactic, IMO.

Why assume that they're downvoting it for one or two specific reasons and not a host of reasons? It was probably my least favorite episode and I have no idea who "Lizzo" is or what the planet's politics are.

"Democracy" is apparently too triggering for some people.... Downvoting sticks out in this shows case, the scores are far more evenly/normally spread out.

Yeah, probably because it was said out loud, yet that was one of the main themes that ran through Andor. People are really strange.

To me the worst part of the episode was Christopher Lloyd's character. They totally under utilized him, he got alomst no screen time and his reasoning for the betrayal was beyond week.

Any single Scooby Doo episode had better thought out villains

 

[Tawnos]

It was definitely a silly episode. Like others have said, I was a Star Wars entertained.

You don't usually see three high profile guest appearances in a single episode. I wonder if Disney signed them all on and Favreau was like "fine, we'll shove them all in one episode and get it over with"

 

[Deport Ogie]

It was kind of dumb and the gimmick casting definitely stuck out a bit but whatever. I don't mind going back a bit to the 'monster of the week' style here and there. It could have benefitted from being a bit longer flesh out Reverend Jim as a villain as well as his purpose.

I think what they are driving at with all of the "your way my way" stuff is an end goal where Din and Bo-Katan determine they are stronger as a duo than either would be individually. It jives with the "Mandalorians Unite!" theme and gets us to a place where both can have a stake in eventual leadership without either having to take a backseat. That may be a cop out but would it really be surprising?

I mean it was clear from the first few episodes that unifying Mandalorians was the main plot of the season. Return of Moff Gideon is the second objective.

I think that you're off of the mark and reaching. Many of us here seem to agree that it's one of the weakest, if not the weakest, episode of the season so far and aren't "triggered" by whatever you're talking about.

Also, the user reviews are now up at IMDb and I don't see anything in any of the critical ones to support your theory. Instead, the criticisms are as expected: filler episode, unnecessary cameos, poor acting, weak dialogue, another "do me a favor" plot, disappointing way for Bo to get the Dark Saber, disappointing episode so close to the finale and so on.

Humor youself by looking at the users, who gave very low scores, other reviews. You might notice a pattern. They've only reviewed episodes from this season. Or they don't seem to like anything. One user didn't even like Andor.

That doesn't support your theory for why they're "triggered" and if you check the very high scores for the episode, you may notice something similar: many are from users who have reviewed only episodes this season or mostly SW shows. In other words, the "pattern" (if there even is one) doesn't mean much.

First review and it's for this episode. In fact there's a whole bunch of reviews written by people who joined the site this month. The positive reviews are written by people who've been on the site for years and have posted several reviews over the years. And yet, you claim there's no review bombing..

 

[Bowski]

Dear lord, has this show really devolved into an IMDB episode rating contest?

Disney scorched the feature film earth with the sequels, now it seems they've done the same for their one hopeful show with Boba Fett's fat ass stamp.

I linked to a handful of positive first reviews because you said that the positive reviews were from people who have been on the site for years. Clearly, that isn't entirely true, but instead of acknowledging that, you just linked to more negative reviews, which I never denied existed. In fact, you keep evading my points and making a case for review bombing, even though what I've been asking you to prove is that it's because of the reason that you gave. You should've noticed that none of those reviews that you linked to mention that, so I don't know where you're getting that from. It seems that you're just imagining it, while pointing to reviews that tell you the real reasons why people disliked the episode.

You should've noticed that none of those reviews that you linked mentioned that, so where are you getting that from? You seem to just be guessing it without any proof and in spite of the mountain of evidence that you, yourself, have provided for the real reasons why people disliked the episode.

[MOD]

That being said, I enjoyed the beginning of the season, they don't seem to be able to keep away from the weaker structure, but still, the overall arc ain't too bad - I just wished they went with some kind of surprise Empire traitor among the main Mandos.

 

[Hivemind]

Is Lizzo or the planet's politics really such a turnoff that people (or rather males, based on IMDB stats) want to downvote this episode?

I'm a full supporter of fully automated luxury gay space communism, so I have no political quarrels with this episode. But this episode sucked.

I can't really blame them. Who wouldn't want to appear in Star Wars even as extra in a Storm Trooper uniform?

-------------------------------------------------------------

They also re-confirmed that Rick Famuyiwa directed the final two episodes of season 3. This was previously reported, but it’s good to be reminded of, given the setup that Famuyiwa established at beginning of the season. It’s clear that Chapters 23 and 24 are meant to tie everything together, and they wanted the continuity of having the same directorial vision behind them.

So Boba Fett appearance confirmed...?

What are the odds that Lizzo had "I get to hold baby Yoda" as part of her contract for this episode?

A droid bar is a bit much.

I thought this was one of the better episode of the season (an extremely low bar). I wish they spent more time in the investigation part though, instead of finding one random clue and getting directly to the bottom of it.

Monster of the week episodes are by far the best. Annoying meta bullshit with Bo Kotan and her whiny friends is not interesting at all.

 

[Deport Ogie]

Fo what it's worth good or bad, Famuyiwa did confirm at Celebration '23 that "The Mandalorian" no longer refers directly to Din alone, it's become more of a show around Manda-Lore and the culture in general. I suspect any Mando or Foundling with the potential to still be alive is an option to show up. Fett undoubtedly has some role and I believe Fenn Rau is rumored to have been cast. I wonder if Korkie Kryze is still alive, try to imagine the blowback if this show brings in a character named "Korkie"
