I’m so confused…
Anyway in the words of the great Sean Connery, "Enough of this useless banter."
Mando season 3 may suck. They undid everything they built up to over two seasons and an amazing season 2 finale in just two episodes of BOBF. They have nowhere to go with Grogu, and as much as I love that little green dude it was perfect for him to go off with Luke. Now What?
I hope it is good, but after BOBF, and undoing their amazing season 2 conclusion I am worried.

To offer a counterpoint, they were the only two episodes worth watching of that dreadful series!

The whole helmet rule might make more sense if they kept the idea of Manda'lor's mask being the symbol of power and the right to rule. And since all Mandalorian helmets are made to look like that mask.......but no Dave thought a sword would be better.

Thrift store Jango....
To be fair, from other materials, we've seen that the trefoil lens shape was in vogue at the time. And Mandalorians in that period had other visor shapes in addition to that one. Just seems that, over the thousands of years that followed, the Mandalorians honed in on that shape, while others drifted away from it. So when the Kaminoans created the clone army and commissioned matériel for them, they went with an updated version of the design the last Republic army had, rather than being deliberately modeled on Jango's helmet.

The "He-Mandalorian Woman Haters Club"?
...I really, REALLY feel like BOBF was rushed to the point that they did the character and Temuera Morrison wrong. My bet is the whole series was a drop in replacement for the Mandalorian while they were sorting things out with Pedro Pascal, during the pandemic no less.
Going forward, I hope that Boba is "reduced" to the rare cameo here and there in the SW universe, helmet on at all times. They can get TM to do the voice, but he simply doesn't have the "body" of Fett.

Hey team. Mando is being put on hold for a bit. But good news, we are doing TBOBF.
THAT COULD BE COOL.
Yes, but we have a tight schedule for production.
When do we start filming?
In two weeks.
How many episodes?
7.
We need to write 7 episodes and begin production in two weeks?
Yep.
It can’t be done!
We only have to write 5. Those first two episodes of Mando season 3 that we wrote, we’ll squeeze them into the show somehow.
It still can’t be done!
Of course it can. Here’s some weed, smoke it and write those scripts by tomorrow morning.
On it!
"...BTW we have these 1.5 Mandalorian season 3 opening episodes already written. We can throw those in to pad out the BOBF series.-"
"But what if we end up doing a full Mando season 3 later on? The start of season 3 was supposed to allow for some passage of time from when Mando last saw Grogu, maybe a year two. Now we have to redo all of that?"

The whole thing was botched. I felt that season 2 should have ended with baby Yoda (still don’t want to call him Gogurt) rejecting the path of the Jedi, because up until that point a huge theme of both seasons had been about “appearance” or “preconceived notions” not defining who you were. Mando looked like Boba Fett, but he wasn’t a cold-blooded bounty hunter to the core, he saved the child (obviously this was before BOBF). IG-11 looked like an assassin droid, but he could have a higher purpose. And so on. But no, they wanted a Luke cameo, so they let the kid go. Okay. That’s fine, not what I would have done. Now there’s an opportunity to have a cool parallel story running—first, let some time pass, so the kid starts to speak. Second, have both Din and the kid’s stories individually show the rigidity and narrow-mindedness of their respective dogmas, and how they struggle against them, until they finally reunite towards the end of the season and they become a new, moderate form of both. Din is a Mandalorian, but isn’t bound by the helmet and the other strange codes. Baby Yoda is a Jedi, but there aren’t weird restrictions on “personal attachments”.
But no, they wanted to reunite them so quickly they put them back together before the season even began, because otherwise little green cash cow couldn’t make them money.

Of all the Jedi. Luke had plenty of personal attachments. He killed an entire assembly of Jabba and his team because he wanted his bestie back.
Don’t even get me started that Jabba had a LEGAL RIGHT to have Han as Han never made good on his debts and knew going into the contract that his fate could be a possibility.
