TheMandalorian Season 3 finale fails to live up to reasonable expectations, racing past key plot points to deliver an unsatisfying conclusion. Our review:
Despite their flaws, the first two seasons of The Mandalorian seemed to have an overarching storyline and a clear end goal in mind. When Season 3 arrived, all of that changed with the status quo, as Bo-Katan was pushed to the forefront and an entirely new plot line emerged. The decision wasn’t wholly unwelcome, but it did force the series to half-heartedly abandon its two-season lead.
Elsewhere on Mandalore, Bo-Katan and the rest of the Mandalorians retreat from the action to regroup. This takes them to an underground cave that the Mandalorian who survived the siege have been living in, which happens to be thriving with the native plants of Mandalore that Bo-Katan long thought died. It’s an interesting sojourn that seems to be trying to say something bigger about the reclamation of the Mandalorian homeworld, but it never really gets there.
The Darksaber isn’t the only thing destroyed in the final showdown. Grogu’s short-lived ride-around-and-talk toy, IG-12, is destroyed in the fire when Axe Woves crashes the capital ship into Moff Gideon’s base to destroy it once and for all. Perhaps we should’ve seen how careless The Mandalorian is with the things it introduces after the Razor Crest was destroyed in Season 2. At least that, however, played a part in Din’s now-forgotten character development.
After being tasked with taking his newly adopted son, Din Grogu, Din jets off to find Carson Teva to enlist as an independent contractor for the New Republic. His goal is to help the New Republic take down imperial remnants in the Outer Rim, and Din doesn’t seem to care about getting an actual okay to take on this duty.
