What did you not like about it?
So after initially watching the finale & thinking it was pretty shitty, I decided to give it a re-watch today after work. While I liked it a lot better this time, I would only rate it as 'pretty good / decent', I didn't think it was in the tier of like, great or incredible. The first half was pretty slow, with the only cool parts being the scenes with Cad Bane. Later I thought some of the initial scenes with Mando & Boba teaming up & flying around & shooting up the bad guys were pretty cool, but then it got real over the top, predictable & cheesy. They all continuously shoot at this droid's shield that's clearly impervious to blaster fire, until the shield actually goes down via the Rancor, then they all just casually watch instead of shooting it. The modded power ranger biker gang were completely useless & out of place on Tatooine. They let the girl with the small pistol-like-blaster go up to do the sniping instead of the guy with a cybernetically modded eye lol. Makes sense. The giant droid chasing the people through the streets but only able to shoot way above or behind them. Grogu saving the day again. It was advertised as some sort of "war" when in reality it was a minor scuffle with some people & 2 giant droids. Cad Bane was dope, but instead of introducing or even hinting at in earlier episodes, they introduce him in one episode, then kill him in the next. Idk, it just seemed a bit rushed & a little lackluster. It was still probably the best episode of the season, at least out of the episodes that centered around Boba. I thought the two side-episodes that focused on Mando were great, but the other episodes, 1-4 & 7, were just okay-ish at best, & I'm a huge SW nerd. It felt a little too disney-fied, & a bit forced. This story didn't really warrant telling. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that's not already a big Star Wars fan, for example. This is all just my opinion of course though
