Yes, it seems as though, Disney's choice to release episodes based on an older timed schedule (as opposed to a more modern approach of uploading everything via binge format) stretched the lifespan & relevancy of the show.
Initially, I was upset that I wouldn't be able to watch it all in one sitting... But I understand that's because I may be somewhat spoiled by the luxuries I've enjoyed in the absence of (set) program /  pacing... 
In the end, I'm fairly satisfied with being granted the time to consolidate the Mandalorian show and it's contents/information. 

Similarly, I wanted to give responses about the show at a slower pace. To respond rather than to react. (A part of why I'm choosing to talk about the show/s with others over forums instead of instant messenger apps.) 

After the unexpected twists presented in the previous episode, I'm wondering how the season finale is going to wrap up... I don't even have any predictions for it...
 

@DvveeboI agree with everything you said. I'm glad Disney went with the traditional weekly episode format. It does let you enjoy it more, talk about it, and build anticipation for what is coming next. So much better than binging it day one, then having to wait a whole year for more lol.

I noticed Amazon switched Expanse to a weekly format starting this season.  They aired the first 3 episodes day one with the rest coming out weekly.  Seems they've noticed the benefit of stretching the content out longer.  CBS All Access has been airing their Star Trek shows weekly as well.

That was a good episode 

Loved it all the way through 

And with that Season 2 is over.

That was INSANE!!!!! Best ep by far

My only real thought is why didn't they bring ahsoka?

that just seems so obvious. Shes clearly the most powerful person he has met.

Granted that would have made the episode about 30 minutes shorter but still.


So. The book of boba fett. Im cool with another book but I feel that a show would obivously be much cooler considering how little he was actually used in this one. (besides the tragedy)

Or is it a show called the book of boba fett and i misunderstood?

EDIT: the internet is making it sound like a show so im gonna go with that.

It also feels strange that they left the matter of the darksaber unresolved. It will be interesting to see what happens, although I don't really want Din leading Mandalore.

@ToddyRocket1If they would have waited just a few hours luke would now be the ruler of mandalore considering he would have saved grogu anyway 


The way he just crushed that one though.

[...] Another thought...what if the Jedi who reaches out to Grogu is none other that Luke Skywalker?  Could happen!!  They did a younger version for the force projection scene in Last Jedi and flashback scenes. I'm sure they could pull it off with Mark Hamill for Mandalorian.

(Thank you.) Yes! 
Ah, I haven't actually been following where Mando might be streaming elsewhere/outside of D+, so this is good to hear. (The Star Trek stuff is a bit off topic, so I'll look into it on my own time, but that sounds great too. Last I saw of Star Trek stuff was a cartoon that seemed to take inspiration from Rick & Morty, so I should check to see what I'm missing out on currently.)

(*I was waiting to see who would answer Grogu's call) 
You called it with the Deep Fake & with it being Luke, well done!
Maybe, they will be using Sebastian Stan for future footage which could focus more on Luke's time at the temple with his younglings? (Honestly, I thought Star Wars was done with DeepFakes after that whole thing with Leia ticked off a bunch of fans, lol. Plus, it doesn't seem plausible to make long session footage using DeepFake - it just doesn't look as realistic as a person's face, especially with mouth movements.)

This tie in is going to make Luke's eventual character destination all the more resonating & crushing... When we learn that Luke didn't just fail Kylo, he failed the ADORABLE GROGU. (& possibly more would-be Padawanz. But it's so much more dramatic when you know the characters that were involved. It's going to be heart breaking when they get to that point. All the more because it won't just be some word of mouth story you haven't seen. Being there as an observer along the way is going to hurt a lot more... ) 

But that's just one part of the general Star Wars adventure... Typically, the Force Sensitives' stories don't interest me as much as the standard civiz of the sci-fi. 
 
'Going to be interesting to see what Din does when he returns to his armorer with the ruling symbol of Mandalore.

Ahsoka has her own agenda. She's busy trying to find Ezra.(?) Regardless of her power levels, she can't hang out with the Mando party right now. c: 

When Disney released a bunch of title names for upcoming shows & Boba's wasn't on there; I felt betrayed. 

I'm still not sure if Boba is getting a book ... Or a show. (I'd be grumpy if he's getting a book, but I'd still read it. It would make sense if they don't want to do a show based on real life limitations.)

The Grey order is watching.

Lmao, yeah they're watching alright!  So that the neutralists(?) can best predict how to avoid everyone else.
(Who knows, maybe the Dagoyan Order's home planet got blown up. )
But if you're being genuine, I agree with you. I don't care what people say, in a similar fashion.

People say (something along the lines of), "There are no aliens in the First Order" 
But then...
1) No one in the First Order questions when a green alien Nikto is on a First Order ship - making engineering repairs (If they instead said something along the lines of; "Hey you, you're an alien & you're tampering with our ship, we don't associate with your kind, you're under arrest!" then their observable actions would provide evidence to the claim. But since they just sort of loiter and ask about repairs until they get put off from the conversation it suggests there are aliens working with/among/for the First Order.) 
2) A blue female Nikto is implied to have been a spy for a higher up in the First Order. 
3) The First Order had to kill a bunch of horned creatures who were spying on them for the Resistance - which implies they had been working with such entities in order to be spied on? 

Stating things is easy. Backing up statements with observable evidence that reinforces the data... That's where loopholes emerge.  

@DvveeboThanks! I guess it's easy to throw out theories when they seem too good to be true lol.

I'm not sure we have to worry about Grogu and Luke's academy. That's 20 years away. There's a good chance he's not even there. Given that he's already had a measure of training, he might be a full Jedi Knight, if not a Jedi Master...or something happens and he quits like Ashoka did. lol
