The Last Jedi was objectively trash. Chadalorians unite.

Back to the actual topic:

Though I think the overall average episode quality was stronger than that of Season 1, I'm disappointed that what started off as a flawed but promising standalone story has, like everything else, been bogged down by cameos out of some obligation to tie everything to a larger narrative. I'm fine with stuff like Bo-Katan and Boba Fett given their ties to the Mandalorians, and even Ahsoka to an extent, but it grew tiresome seeing Mando run into all of these beloved characters almost every episode, and I think this came at the cost of the season's overarching plot. The final cameo was a bit too far for me, especially with the horrible Rogue One CGI. At the very least, the cameos weren't quite as egregious as the Ponda Baba and Darth Vader scenes in that film and the cameo characters actually did fill a role in the plot. I just wish they had been handled better.

Best episode by far was the penultimate one. It felt like everything Rogue One was trying to do but with actual entertainment value, and was one of the few episodes set in a location that wasn't just some brown or grey Mos Eisley-esque town. Worst episode was definitely the second one with the frog lady. The joke with Baby Yoda eating the eggs really wasn't thought out that well.

So yeah, despite my criticisms, overall it's alright. Still wish Mando would go to some more interesting looking planets and I hope they tone down the cameos next season, but a solid 7/10 I guess. The general premise of the show isn't really to my tastes anyway, though I'm sure I won't be seething about it in 3 years' time.

Mate you're the one who brought up the sequels twice before anyone else responded. Not my fault you're incapable of any kind of critical thought beyond "stop liking what I don't like".

sequel fags: "noooooo, you can't just make a TV series that's better than our entire trilogy. You have to sUbVeRt eXpEcTaTiOnS. I literally have no other concept that makes a good movie ;((("

Mando chads: "haha beskar goes brrrr"

Bro your style of arguing is so cringe

im not interested in star wars but what the heck happened here

I haven't watched Season 2 yet, I'm going to binge it with family on Wednesday.

With that being said.......FUCK THE SEQUEL TRILOGY.

Maybe it's just my cynicism, but I find the 50 year old "kid" aka the klepto toddler a completely insufferable character that they're no doubt shoving as hard as they can to sell toys.

I disagree that he's insufferable. On paper, he sounds like a cutesy character that would get annoying but in my experience they never pushed him too much within the show itself. Pushing him hard merchandising-wise? Sure, but in terms of the show itself it never got to a point that it bothered me, and I was actively concerned about that.

I hadn’t gotten that far bruh ;-;

I was very happy to see

. The CGI stuff didn't even clock in my head.

Shit, is this a spoiler thread? I apologize, I should really read things before posting...

Some women and minorities were in some movies a few years back. Reddit still can't cope.

I’m just highly satisfied knowing that Disney is bringing in SOME measure of EU stuff to the table. I know Thrawn was in Rebels, but the acknowledgment of Imperial Warlords like Gideon means we might just happen to get Pallaeon at some point.
