I loved it too, AC. I've listened to 1 and a half podcasts covering Mando, though, and only one of 5 reviewers thought the same. Most were just meh about it. One was actually "F&%k this show! It's jumped the shark!".
I do think the whole Darksabre thing has been somewhat handwaved through but otherwise I'm good with it.
If Grogu hadn't come back in BoBF and this series had taken place without him would anything at all be different? Has Grogu been significant in terms of the plot?
I'm actually wondering whether most of the scripts for this season were done before they realised that Grogu was such a big draw and they did some rewriting.
I understand that they'd been workingon storylines for the Rangers series that got binned when they found out Gina Carano was a fascist, and some of those story ideas are being incorporated into other shows.
I suspect that explains the Coruscant Amnesty Program/ Captain Teva stuff which a lot of people didn't think fit comfortably in this season.
