Don't forget that Mando cannot wield and use the weapon at its maximum power! If yielded correctly, that Dark Saber would've done the job

Watched last night and came to the immediate conclusion that Boba Fett has officially been Disneyfied.
From the most ruthless and feared bounty hunter in the galaxy to nice guy that Disney can market in a new light.
Many of you are kicking around Favreau and Filoni, but you should be asking what Disney has to do with this mess?
I can picture the early meetings with Disney.
"How can we market a show about a bad guy to little kids? I know! We make him good. Yeah. That's the ticket!"
Fail.

Do we need a map, at the beginning of a series, explaining the 5Ws to non-fans? Gimme a break!
(not to you squirk).You want to see a SW series? Educate yourself! If you land smack dab in the middle of such a extensive world/characters, OT, PT, cartoons, etc; you're not going to understand what's the story with such and such character/planet/struggle or anything else for that matter.
It's like seeing Dr. Who, or ST, for the first time and me trying to explain the world you've just entered
I'm 64...too old for that B.S.They simply didn't respect the initial BF character from ESB/ROTJ, plain and simple! They had to "save the world" (zeitgeist) and make him somebody he's not because, in the end, everybody will sing kumbaya!?
What? He's thinking of retiring and getting his old age pension, mopping around in his sleepers and PJs ? Really people...really
If this thread has taught me anything is that I am absolutely DONE with any excuses containing the term "fan expectations."
If you go to a restaurant and your meal is served half cooked or not cooked at all, the chef and other diners have less than zero right to blame you for not eating it. All too often I keep reading that fans are impossible to please when the truth is they just want a cooked meal. Let's put the onus back where it belongs. On the cook. Stop. Blaming. Diners. Whether you work for the restaurant or you're eating there as a guest it doesn't excuse you shaming the customer.
If we're sticking with the cook analogy let's also consider that you're a paying customer and all the culinary training in the world doesn't excuse a chef from under cooking your meal or serving it to you raw. Manage your kitchen. Hire better wait staff who refuse to serve uncooked food. Hire a new chef if need be. If you expect to not have the meal sent back, or for the wait staff to get tipped, we require good service.
Writing is the same way. If they honestly expect us to keep buying their products then they need to do better. Why should fans manage their expectations? We don't NEED managing. Manage your writing staff. Get better editors. We aren't their employees. We don't work for them. They work for US.
This isn't entitlement. It's consumerism. If they want my money they need to earn it. Every job I ever worked, if something went wrong the blame was put on US the employees. Whether that's fair or not DID NOT MATTER. I was blamed for things far beyond my control or position in the company. That's just the reality of business. Why Hollywood feels exempt from that is totally beyond me.
So let's just be real and put an end to using their failures as a cudgel against their customers. Having your peers pile on only makes things worse. Vote with your wallet.

At least two of the Mods did die. The girl with the green and black hair and Bob cut was killed right before Fennec showed up, and one of the guys was shot right as the attack started.

I really like your analogy Psab keel! I worked in restaurants before and one thing that's difficult to maintain at all time is QUALITY!
Has one been started yet...I'd hate to Overspill!
Oh and a Mando S3 ?
Surely... thats another certain Space franchise ?You mean Logical! This series was anything but
There ain't no pointy eared fellas in these neck of the woods

I remember them getting hit but didn’t realize they were dead! I thought they were all standing around at the end but I’d have to rewatch.
This wasn't even food. This was sand soup with a side of fried rocks.
Sometime the Universe sends signs, and watching the finale last night was the latest sign that maybe I should try out to be a chef.
And that's exactly what I'll do.
I don't have the resources to prepare a full meal (yet) but I can make appetizers - so that's what I'll do.
And we are paying...
I'd rather have one Cracking series with 15 to 20 episodes rather than four half baked soggy bottoms..
Since I am just a small, petty, and really very shallow person—who is also a Trek fan—it gives me great pleasure to know that Star Wars fans are also equally suffering from franchise mismanagement.
It warms the cold dead space in my chest where a human heart should be.

How
However bad the Star Wars live action shows are, they are nowhere near as abysmal as Kurtzman Trek. I can still watch TBOBF and make fun of its silliness, but I can't even bear to watch Discovery. Even the thought of watching it makes me sick in my stomach.

My only hope for the Kenobi Series is Deborah Chow...I liked her Episodes from Mado Season 1.

What really happened was they painted themselves into a corner by giving Grogu to Luke, execs desperate to undo that because of $ came up with a plan to make sure the wee green guy was back for Mando Series 3
Favreau & Filoni put forward the rough story to Robert Rodrigues that he could do what he wanted with Boba in 5 episodes, the 5th episode he'd have Mando & Grogu back....F&F had a couple of episodes nothing to do with the Boba Series to do the exposition of how Mando got Grogu back
Thats it, the Boba series was just there to undo the plot of Mando Series 2

I agree
