Half the people I have talked to so far have said the finale is fantastic and the other half have said this is the worst series they’ve ever seen.
We are gonna watch it in the next few days though! I gotta stay out of this thread until then! Just saw the tag notifications…like a bat signal for me to poke my nose in here! LOL

So my overall reasoning for staying along with this straight train wreck of insanity is that back before all this started with Episode I, I had very little hope for this series... And so when just before it started, much like with GoT S8, the season's entire plot reportedly leaked online (reddit), I couldn't help myself and had to see what we MIGHT be in store for
What is scary is, much like with GoT S8, the plot leaks were eerily spot on, and anything that was contained in them we didn't get was more.... lets say "missing" than it was contradicted by what happened. I knew Bane was coming at the end. I knew about the rancor and the hutts, and even BK well before they showed...
But I never got the scene I was actually hoping to see.... The scene where at the end Mando asks Boba to come with him to help take back Mandalor and where Boba says "hes not cut out for Crime Lord life" and he decided to 'Free Willy' his goddamn Rancor onto the poor people of Tatooine....
It just sounded so absolutely bat **** insane at the start of the season that I had to stick around to see it... and whats odd more than anything is again, NOTHING actually contradicted it possibly happening... or possibly being simply shifted over into TMS3, along with the reported Qi'Ra return of Emilia Clarke we were rumored to get in the finale.. (assuming she hasn't run away from SW as fast as she could)
I now wonder if BoBF was originally a 5 episode series.. one almost entirely in the hands of Rodregez... and perhaps once he 'turned in his homework' so to say, the rest of the crew had a "ahhhhh holy ****... this is nightmarishly bad.. we gotta do something ASAP" moment, and thus re-edited the entire season into a 7 episode season, with the insertion of Episodes 1 and 2 of The Mandalorian Season 3 put in the middle to try and deaden the blow... Perhaps this is why E5 and 6 don't feel like they remotely fit at all in the season
I wont be terribly surprised if this goofy ass 'Free the Rancor' scene I so waited for, along with the other "missing" parts are now going to be re-edited into the first couple episodes of TMS3... Frankly I wont be too surprised if there is even Half or more of a BoBF episode spliced in

I was sad that the Gamorreans were pushed over the cliff. They didn't deserve that fate. They were loyal, broke their backs for the cause and when told to do something just did it without arguing or mouthing off.

Great point however this was one was introduced as a young Rancor that bonded to Boba. The ROTJ was a old Rancor. At least that's how I'm explaining it so as it is young and it was full of piss and vinegar.
Honestly though, I’d kinda be more okay with BOBF if that’s what they did. All I’ve wanted out of Mando is to see a Mandalorian civil war

Oh no Ive no problem with Boba going with Mando. Tbh I think they're gonna 'M. Night Shyamalan' us and make Boba the one who becomes Mandalore and rightful owner of the Darksaber in the end like he sorta does in the EU.
I more was talking about the Rancor... one of the greatest monsters in cinema... having been turned into a cute lovable teddy bear and a 'Goodie'
sh1t I guess his nick name won't work anymore....all the ladies used to call him Cobb The Nob.
