#Mandalorian #Review #ScreenCrushRewind
For some, the season was confusing, others think it was awesome-but it was definitely different from the first 2 seasons. A little later I’m going to be joined by Matt Singer and Star Wars superfan Pete Fletzer, but first, here’s my take on this season, and the finale.
First of all, the season was a bit clunky, but you have to admit, but there was so much fan service in these last two episodes I almost didn’t care. I’m into the entire story Star Wars is telling-so for me, I get way too excited about mentions of project necromancer, thrawn, and the rise of the first order. And I’ve been following the story of the Mandlorians through 4 presidential administrations-so seeing them finally retake their homeworld was incredibly satisfying for me.
Also, Bo Katan wielding the darksaber leading hundreds of mandalorians into battle-awesome. Din and grogu happy ending-awesome. Grogu talking to the mythosaur-a very cool nod for what is to come for him down the line. Plus, I liked how everyone got a little moment that tied the season together. R5 was mostly a pointless easter egg-but the show did give him a moment to be brave and conquer his fears. RIP this mouse droid though.
And then we get this happy ending where gideon is finally defeated-
Doug: Or is he?
Yeah we’ll talk about that in a second. Mandalore is united and reclaimed, and din gets to live on a farm with grogu. So the ending is happy-but did this season actually earn that peaceful resolution? IN other words, did the season do a good enough job making us care about Bo-Katan and the Mandlorians, to give this ending an emotional pay off?
You have to admit gays, this was a weird, weird season of TV. The episode structures were off, and very Boba-Fett-ish.
Doug: What do you mean by that?
Wwii, in most shows-and even in Andor-when there are several plot threads, you kind of interweave them throughout the episode. A plot, B plot. IN andor, the transitions between plot;lines are done beautifully so the stories tie together thematically-we did a whole video about that. But in the book of boba fett, they were running two storylines in the past and present, and they rarely interact with any sense of design. Same thing in this season. Almost half the episodes were stories that were bookended by other stories.
Now the mandalorian has always had this cool, self-contained, adventure of the week structure that ties together in the end. But, for instance, that pershing episode was baffling. We began with din and bo katan, then cut away to pershing on coruscant, then back to bo katan arriving. Now the episode was called the convert, so in a way that meant pershing and bo kata-but the thematic link would have been better linked had there been a bit of intercutting between the two.
Because the pershing storyline doens;t come back into play for 2 episodes-when Carson Teva wants to help pirates, then recruits Mando, then finds Gideon’s ship after the pirate battle. So that’s another episode with a weird bookend.
Episode 6 might be the most controversial, with Jack Black, Lizzo, and a Law and order noir detective tale about droid rights-but that bookend structure worked. It was like a side quest on their way to the mandalorians. You could have cut it out entirely-but then you would have missed out on the fun.
And also, the foundling episode used the bookend structure well, because it told parallel stories of different foundlings being rescued-Din and ragnar. But just to go back to that pershing episode, I think it showed the best and worst of the season. I liked the story itself, and I was interested in Pershing's story. And the mandalorian is trying to widen its scope from being a cowboy show to showing the wider universe.
But I still think that that episode should have tied in more directly with the finale.
Doug: But couldn;t it show that Gideon squandered the resources to clone the emperor, by wiping Pershing’s mind?

Ryan begins with the false premise that a critique of the season rests in viewers not being fully invested in SW (Clone Wars, Rebels, Timothy Zahn novels, etc.) lore. As someone who has seen every episode of CW and Rebels several times over, has read the Zahn novels, and for whom the story line was neither obscure nor esoteric, I STILL found the season to be a genuine letdown. It was poorly constructed and written, particularly from a character standpoint. And, when compared to both The Bad Batch and Andor, these deficiencies are even more pronounced.

I like how they kinda end the story arc, while setting up future story arcs. Mythosaur will get paid off later, Bo will continue to rebuild the Mandos, whilst Din,Din will go about their adventures! Definitely could have a spin off for Bo and the Mandalorians. I loved how much Universe building went on in this season and the narrative of Mandalorians being stronger together.

Did no one pay attention to the fact that season 3 being about taking back Mandalore was set up in season 2? Also, the great thing about calling it The Mandalorian, is that they can set up other character as the main character of the season and/or arc, so this season WAS still telling the story of The Mandalorian, just The Mandalorian was Bo and not Din. They were also showing the story of Din’s and Grogu’s growing bond, and officially becoming family, and Grogu’s journey to leaving the Jedi and becoming a Mandalorian.

Whether they tie in to future endeavors or not, ties a bow on Mando & Grogus story.

Ok, so many good points here and I never comment but gotta clarify something Matt Singer said (that he may not have realized). There is a huge relational difference between Mando being Grogu’s “Foster Dad” and him making the commitment to be Grogu’s actual adoptive parent. Their growing attachment to one another and the character arc it has created is at the heart of the show and the emotional impact of that legal adoption moment in the last episode this season was powerful.

I was confused that they did a big set up by having the Children of The Watch becoming the defenders of Navarro and putting down roots. Navarro was their new home! Then, just a few episodes later, they've off to set down roots on Mandalore. Also the whole Pershing episode could have been cut from the season and have no effect on the outcome.

Having more land benefits the mandalorian at this stage. The land at Navarro can afford them places to grow their own food and trade for resources that Mandalore couldn't because it's still desecrated by the imperial. Mandalore can be a place of power and politics, while Navarro is the place that feeds them. Also if their attempt at reclaiming Mandalore goes bad, there is Navarro to fall back on.

It was the Armorer who pushed to unite the clans and go to Mandalore, maybe to get everyone exterminated. She was not OK with Mando taking off the helmet, but was very OK to have Bo-Katan to remove hers after he was vindicated by the living waters and seeing the Minotaur. She is plotting something, and it is not good.
@tigerlancer
@tigerlancer Год назад
Like din said, the mandalorians needed a safe place for their kids to grow up and play. It's why the final shot was of grogu playing at the cabin. taking back mandalore had to happen sooner rather than later, as strategically, moff Gideon's plan was to always cause the extinction of the mandalorians, to plunder the beskar and eliminate the threat of the mandalorian people siding against the empire. Also, like paz said, because we are mandalorians. The Pershing/Kaine/Gideon/shadow council storyline has to build up the looming empire threat and create intrigue and world build the overall narrative because of the interconnected nature of the star wars universe. The mandalorian is setting up story beats for future mandalorian seasons and possibly 2 or 3 different shows like ahsoka and thrawn movie projects. Remember, Disney is giving you star wars game of thrones without saying that they are giving you a huge game of thrones story.

I loved this season. Giving Bo-Katan this redemption arc was so satisfying. Kinda wish Sabine was a part of retaking Mandalore, but whatever, they wanted to keep the plot relatively straightforward and I'm on board with that. We are left to fill in a lot of gaps in character development, which was a let down, but overall, this season was a solid 7.5/10. I also believe the title of the first episode "The Apostate" referred to both Din Djarin AND Bo-Katan. Waching all those "SpieS" theorists fall flat on their face was very enjoyable. Everyone who thought The Armorer was a spy/traitor owes her an apology.

That's the problem, both characters existence and identity is based something bigger than them (the creed for Din and the leadership of mandalorians for Bo) their affiliative from the get go. For the characters to progress they need pragmatism and heed their own interest rather than the collective. They must be capable enough to be followed instead of being obligated to lead.

My takeaway from the end of the show was that it was a broadening of the villain base for Mando and Grogu. For the first two seasons, it was Moff Gideon running everything. Even with this season, we find out that Gideon was still running the opposition against them. It was getting into a Skywalker versus Palpatine vibe from the movies. By introducing the Shadow Council, the story has been opened up to more villains with different motivations for messing with our favorite two. The worst thing the showrunners could possibly do at this point is bring Gideon back.

I mean I understand the end result of the redemption of Mandalore, but it just doesn't feel earned with how this season's story has been told. Everything felt too brushed over and easy if that makes sense. I mean if you break it down: - The two religiously opposed factions come together with literally no hiccups, discussion or complaints. We get one scene Ax and Paz getting mad at a board game, which while cool showing the cultural differences, is literally the only relevant scene and they become happily united in the finale. There was no serious leadership or reconciliation of their differences between the factions. - They just arrived on Mandalore and stumbled into the end villains lair within a couple hours...No planning, no scouting, no sense of tension/foreshadowing aside from Paz's last stand. They literally walked in, ran away, the ship sent reinforcements and they won. I thought the blocked communications could've been utilized more effectively to build tension of no communication with the capital ship as the scouting party was stranded and being picked off, but nah it was solved within 10 mins of running into their first enemies. - They immediately move into the decrepit ruins of the city at the end of the finale, which seemingly doesn't have any infrastructure or ways to support life. Their ship blew up, so not living in that, and the growing "farms" are a bit away. There was no sense of rebuilding, or moving in, they just lit the fire and ta-da the entire planet of Mandalore is free now.

I really liked this season. Probably as much as the prior two. My 9yo son and I watch it together, and watching it with him allows me to see it through his eyes. The silly things like the IG11 mech suit and the "yes" button really cracked him up. Watching Grogu be able to contribute to the fights really connected with him. The idea of beskar-clad, force-powered super soldiers is a scary one and potentially an idea that can be explored in later seasons or other shows. Watching the growth and evolution of the Mandalorian people is entertaining and good lore building. And I really appreciated the noir investigation episode. High marks all around.

It would have been great to see why the Great Forge was so important to the Mandolorian. I don't think Din is "the Mandolorian" so I do need him in every scene but I do think we need some Mandolorian stuff in every episode.

I have so many things to say as of the 35:00 mark or so but I’ll be civil… the Mandalorian is simply exercising his mantras honour trust duty.

Enjoy it for what it is a great piece of art!

As a casual SW fan, I really enjoyed this season and the past two. I'd love to watch more seasons of The Mandalorian. I didn't find that not knowing something from the books or animated shows hindered my enjoyment of the season. Nor did I need to be told what the characters wanted for their actions pointed to this. I liked the world building. It was a teaching tool being used to teach Grogu about kinship, Mandalorians (different factions), helping others, loyalty, belief in yourself and others, community, and dangers that exist outside their community. When Bo Katan removed her helmet when the armorer told her to, I didn't expect any of the night watch to do the same for the armorer made it clear that Bo Katan was different and able to do both. For me it was a message about diversity and acceptance, and tolerance of others' differences and beliefs which are not harmful to others like wearing a helmet all the time is not destructive; just different. Of two very opposing factions in a society being able to find it in themselves to allow others to be different without prejudice. It was the first step to unity. Having the shared purpose to retake their home planet and sharing sorrows and joy helped bind them together even further. I connected to Bo Katan when she was despondent at the beginning of the season. She felt depressed, lost and lacked confidence in herself which is perfectly normal after her loss. She felt forsaken by those she had trusted. Yes it seemed like she didn't really want anything but that is the point of being in the mental state she found herself. She needed to find purpose and hope again. By aligning herself with Mando, she learnt what it was to believe again in something and have someone else to believe in you. From the beginning Mando didn't want to rule or have any administrative duties. It was clear to me that all he wanted to do was help reunite his people and go with Grogu to teach him all he can about being a Mandalorian of the Watch. Yes the dark saber being destroyed was a new beginning for the Mandalorian. That particular belief, of anyone who won the dark saber in battle could lead them, was totally destructive. Moff Gideon was not of their race and had no care for them or their beliefs but was just using them and pitting them against each other. I believe that this was to show that how some beliefs need to be re-evaluated and let go especially those that are harmful to others.

Although maybe not the way it was initially intended because of many mishaps, politics and intrigue behind the scenes with Pedro and Kathleen Kennedy...causing delays, I think Din kept a promise that he would help Bo Katan get back Mandalore. He would help her with the Mandalorians, and Din ACCOMPLISHED that. Din also had personal growth, Grogu gained confidence, and showed he started remembering a lot of his training at the temple. I also feel that it accomplished several things resolving a few issues establishing partnerships, and redeemed Bo Katan's arc. Also, establishing the two of them as family and partners, they need to have some home-base because they lost the Razorcrest, which was their home, so this compensates. Plus there was growth with the Armorer, during the baptismal of Ragnar, it was not recited that he need keep the helmet on at all times.
@wilcherglobal6685
@wilcherglobal6685 Год назад
Even though Mando was not always the focus, this was his journey and he was the essential aspect of not only his redemption but his growth as a man of honor and truth. Along the way he was instrumental in uniting a nation and defeating a daunting galactic enemy. In the end his mission of redemption was not only accomplished, it was exceeded. Sometimes in our lives we are not the main character, but ultimately we reach our goals.

This is the point where the narrative focus shifts to her, at the end of the very first episode, and what she wants now hasn't changed, it's just that her arc is finding a way unify all Mandalorians, not just her sect, like the great Mandalore did before her.

And I think I will like it even more with a rewatch, I agree from an earlier point you made that it's a little hard to follow with weekly releases. But I liked how they closed off mandos redemption straight away, like end game where they chop if thanos' head straight away, which I thought would be most of the film, and then the story changed from there. After Mando/Bo realised it wasn't poisonous, the next part of the story kinda followed as it would, it was logical. I also didn't care about Pershing at all until that ep and didn't realise I wanted to care about him, but I'm glad I now do. Also Jack Black

I think it gave us all of that and more. By the time we got there, Din's vow to Bo felt like a great knight of one kingdom pledging himself to the new queen for the good of the people. Personally, I think they're hitting their storytelling stride and I'm all in for it.

I loved this season. This season was all about Din doing what he does best, fixing problems. He fixed the Mandalore problem for Bo and all Mandalorians. I believe there was a lot of progress and growth for the entire series. There was growth with the Mandalorians not needing the dark Saber or their helmets. There was growth with Din and Grogu as they now work together and Grogu is Din's adopted son. The whole show is progressing the mando-vese narrative of the Empire is out there and needs to be dealt with. Instead of this being one stand-alone show, it is a stand-alone season. I loved the closure of the ending scene. That arc is finished, and we have no idea what next season will bring. Maybe season 4 will be more stand-alone shows of Din and Grogu as the other shows sets up their foundation, or maybe it is time to battle the Empire. Whatever they have planned, it will start on a clean slate, and I am looking forward to it.

He wanted to be his legal gardian because he wanted to train Grogu himself to better his commbat skills as a Mandalorian.

There was definitely a belief going into the season that it would be about Din Djarin’s redemptive arc but I think the reason that they seemed to stray away from that was, what was he redeeming himself for? Taking off his helmet when Bo’s faction always does that? What does it mean to be a Mandalorian? Each faction was experiencing their own cognitive dissonance. Are the old ways outdated? Are we better united? Does the Dark saber still matter? Helmet or no helmet? etc. The first step in redefining what it means to be a Mandalorian was to unite. I’m guessing now that they’ve reclaimed Mandalore and united, now they can go about creating a new (and hopefully an improved) era of Mandalorians.

I always felt Favreau's & Filoni's eventual goal with this TV show was to show what happened to Mandalore and its people. They used Din and the first two seasons of the show to help casual Star Wars fans get introduced to the world that Filoni built in Clone Wars and Rebels. Din was the clueless hero that represented these casual fans. Now that we've seen the retaking of Mandalore completed, the show's purpose would be to use Din's cowboy character to help others like he helped Bo Katan. The style would be similar to Season 1 and 2, but now Din's actions is more streamlined to an overall purpose that effects not just his future but that of others

Matt’s criticism kinda baffled me. It seems like most of his gripes are rooted in not knowing the end of the story (or as he said “where things are going”). We have another season or two left. We shouldn’t know the end yet. This season is merely a part of the story. The Mandalorians finally putting aside their differences and Bo-Katan finally understanding what it takes to be a leader are significant and will certainly come back into play. Din and Grogu working for the New Republic, the Shadow Council, the buildup to Thrawn. Just some of the pieces set in motion this season. I thought S3 was weirdly structured but otherwise really good.

I think this season established why the Mandalorian’s will have to be instrumental in defeating Thrawn. His whole tactic is to learn an enemy through their art and culture and use it against them.

In fact the old ways they stick to might be what Thrawn uses to break them.

The Armorer flies in killing people with her hammer and tongs (I thought she'd flip them like burgers), as 3 Praetorian Guards, who could go toe to toe with Jedi Masters, try to kill a baby (puppet) who just hops around on a lamp (or scaffolding) as they get their butts kicked. Then Darth Fring, who pops-up at the end of each season to play pretend primary villain, crushes the Darksaber and everyone's fine with it. A Star Destroyer crashes into Mandalore hitting the underground base. It seems impossible for Mando, Bo, and Grogu to survive, but it's super easy, barely an inconvenience. All the Mandalorians other than Mando, Bo, and Grogu fly out before the crash to keep from being crushed when all they needed to do was stand on the same platform as Mando, Bo, and Grogu as the Star Destroyer only creates flames which kill Darth Fring, without in any way damaging the platform or any part the ceiling above it when it should collapse and kill them. Grogu then uses the force to repel the fire, because a Star Destroyer can't break or crush anything important since in Star Wars objects no longer have mass, and things like inertia and momentum, and Newton's laws of physics no longer exist. All of this was just in the Season 3 finale; which is touted as the best show of the season.

Crushing the dark saber was very symbolic to the unity and rebirth of Mandalore. I thought it was a very appropriate ending to the season. I appreciated that they allowed fans to sense this incredible moment in Mandalore history without giving us a watered down explanation of why it was so meaningful. I feel like Matt Singer in this discussion was almost wanting a hallmark version of this story. (I’m sure that’s not really what he wants but I couldn’t help but disagree with most of what he was saying.). This story is vast. It’s not just about Din and Grogu. It’s not even just about generations of Mandalorian civil wars and unrest coming to an end. It’s beautiful in the fact that it continues to tie together the over arching Star Wars story. I appreciate the imperfections too for it feels more real to me in that sense. I hope people can see and understand this season as a true connection to the other series and threads within the Star Wars universe.

During the Mandalorian battle in the air sequence in final EP, I was at the edge of my seat worrying that someone might drop down from the sky because their jetpack runs out of fuel. It's the new rule they introduced in early EP and it sticks in my head🤣

Sometimes just being there can inspire others. Din and Grogu got to relax at the end of the day because they united their people and saved the day. That deserves kicking their feet up and playing with a frog. It was fun. With zero expectations you're never let down and can do something crazy like just enjoy it.

I appreciated this season. Nothing over the top, no fan service like season 2, great world building like always, and blasters! The ending was also satisfying. It’s just a bunch of Mandalorian shit and I love it.

While I definitely think it could have been better, I thought it was fine. I think the real issue was that Andor was such a huge step up for a SW show in terms of writing, cinematography, and acting that the Mandalorian just isn't as good in comparison.

Two things happened that chopped up both Book of Boba Fett and Season 3 of the Mandalorian 1. Kathleen Kennedy Forced Favreu to put Grogu in Boba and give him back to Din 2. Gina Carono was fired and Rangers of the New Republic canceled All the Cane, Pershing, and Carson Teva that went nowhere was a cliff-notes Rangers of the New Republic - and the reason Din’s quest to redeem himself was so quick. They had to fit the whole basic plot of another show into this season.

my understanding was Kathy Kennedy got in the way again because she needs to feel like she's the hero and in charge, and this is why they pulled her as producer from many upcoming projects.

Ugh, Matt was so whiny and bumbling. Almost turned off the show entirely. It’s as if he drew the short straw to take the Against side in a debate. Not everything needs to be tied up in a perfect bow. There can be openness for interpretation without the show writing everything in. Pete was sensible and engaging. Huzzah!

I think what a lot of people miss is that The Mandalorian isn’t meant as a singular. It’s meant as a whole ‘THE Mandalorian’. That’s why it’s been about clones, Boba Fett, Bo-Katan, The Armoury, The Mando Home planet… All this stuff is heavily connected to ‘The Mandalorian’ as a people, a religion, their part in the clones, the empire ect. It’s not just about Din Djarin he is the audiences eyes into this much larger world and story about all ‘The Mandalorian’

Ironically the specific audience/“fans” is tearing the show apart for not doing what they want… it is so sad to see these so called die hard fans to not just criticize but cancel the show that is meant to be the source of their material. The problem is, these theorist and hard core lore fans are making their own and pushes theirs to be a better one which is a very narcissistic trait to me. It’s not bad to criticize but to destroy and advertize the show that it fails or something is very dilusional.

It's so comforting to hearpete bring some wise and calm perspective, against matt's rambling and hate. Matt has some point about focus of the characters, but, like many fans nowdays, the details and the self-imposed unfulfilled expectations don't allow him (them) to enjoy a good story.

I wish they would have held off on the Grogu and Mando reunion and gave us two or three episodes with Luke training him. It would have been awesome to see and also give their reunions a lot bigger of an impact. This season was all over the place but the last two episodes made up for it in some ways

He strikes me as someone who can’t enjoy something if it doesn’t match his expectations. He also strike me as someone who is on his phone while watching because most of his complaints are addressed but the show. Ryan running down that list was perfect example.

I've really enjoyed Mando, but without Screen Crush, I'm not sure I would still be watching it. I don't know 90%+ of the Star Wars references that go by unexplained. I had no idea who Bo Kattan was. No idea who Thrawn was. I hope the writers listen to Ryan about the importance of storytelling and permanent deaths. Because, yeah, Star Wars lacks all suspense. No one dies.

I’m more on Pete’s side. Maybe because I’m older, I just don’t let these things upset me, even though I’d call myself a big fan of SW since 77. Like Pete, my expectations of TLJ colored how I originally saw it. But liked it after subsequent viewings. I learned to not get caught up in expectations. I feel like professional fans get upset a lot for their expectations not met. Two things I’ve learned about Star Wars that has helped. 1) everything is from “a certain point of view.” And 2, “you must unlearn what you have learned.” As soon as more Mandalorians came into the story, I switch thinking about the name as a plural. The Mandalorian isn’t just about Din Jarin and Grogu. I guess I’m not stuck in this rigid view of storytelling. On the one hand Star Wars has always been uneven. It’s a myth being written in real time. It copy and pasted from so many sources just like other myths have done. On the other hand Life is just two short and hard to get upset about entertainment. And at the end of the day, as much as I love the movies, books, comics, etc it’s just entertainment. We’re allowed to see and enjoy this grand scale storytelling on multiple levels. To me that’s what makes it enjoyable.
