Great shout. I’d take any and all of that.

I got really worried Din was going to be executed there.

We all know the the first order succeeds; I don’t know if that means Gideon will survive to see it necessarily. I don’t have a good feeling about the fleet’s chances without a lot of help.

Grogu in the IG was very very funny :)

I’m still worried about how bratty he’s becoming though.

Ok. So people involved have said stuff about the final episode.

Filoni suggesting well ok he might die (Mando) but there’s loads of other great stories going to come from that


If they kill din this show can go Fuck itself.

The only thing keeping me from giving that episode an A was that poorly written and acted Shadow Council scene.

I love Giancarlo in Breaking Bad and Saul but I've found him pretty mediocre, if not outright bad, in Mandalorian. The dialogue doesn't help.

I think he’s had diminishing returns since Breaking Bad

I’ve also read that, as per native speakers, his accent and pronunciation of Gus’s native language in BB and BCS is horrendous so the rose is steadily losing its bloom on Mr. Esposito for me.

He’s barely a character. He’s the cardboard cutout standing next to the Pepsi display at your local grocery store. They’ve gotta ditch the helmets.

One theory has Gideon taking his head and helmet off for him permanently, in next weeks episode.

Din is just as integral to the show as Grogu.

Yeah if they killed Din they'd really risk alienating the fan base. I like Katie Sackhoff so I'd keep watching lol.

Maybe the first couple seasons. Now, I'd say they're more integral to Disney's merchandise sales. Not so sure about the show in its current form.

Pedro is on to bigger and better things.

I'm sure he's okay if his character is offed

On one hand they could kill Din off here and wrap it all up. Favreau said season 4 is written. Filoni is cagey when asked if there is a season 4 happening.
Last episode is said to be only 31 minutes long.

Dead or alive it’s Fair bit to wrap up if it’s only that long.

We are at the midway point of the Mandalorian story. There will be many more series of Mando,

Please don’t kill off Pedro. He is basically phoning it in anyway. It would be the least taxing of all of his roles.

38 minute finale is a tad disappointing
