Season 3, Episode 7
5/10
Favreau and Filoni can't save Star Wars
17 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
So contrived, so dumb, and so predictable.

I love Giancarlo Esposito, but his dialogue is worse than anything George Lucas has been criticized for.

He sings praises to the Empire, even though there is no known emperor.

Mandalorians are still surviving on the planet that Mandalorians couldn't survive on.

These survivors know exactly where The Great Forge is, but they don't know that there's an active imperial base present, literally steps away. Never noticed a ship coming or going, huh?

One Mandalorian distinguishes himself in the ensuing combat, and I suddenly realized they're going to kill this guy.

People think that Favreau and Filoni are capable of saving Star Wars. Sadly, I think that Star Wars is forever destined to be written by people who don't understand it. Lightning struck for episodes 4, 5, and 6 (and maybe for Rogue One). I no longer believe that we'll see the like ever again.
