I didn’t like it. Was basically filler for bo to get the darksaber.

Sounds like the opposite of a filler

Its really a 30-35min filler(though comedic) of a side mission with 5-10min to finish that side mission in a very strange manner(that gives right to every living
high ranking imperial or separatist to rule Mandalore)

Well din is not caring about the dark saber that much. He's giving it to Bo when he take it from gideon remember?
And then, he has it, he use it akwardly and he knows. Time passes we didnt have a scene that he practices the saber, nor his saber skill improved.

Worst episode of the series by far. Storyline was complete garbage, the acting was subpar and the last five mins were all that mattered. This, IMO, was one of the worst things star wars has put out in a while...not quite as bad as the little Leia chase scenes in Kenobi, but close.

Here's a question, besides plot armor, why did Din wait so long to give Bo the dark saber.... he's been wanting to get rid of it since he got it, yet held onto it for more time than he needed to? Could have been done better.

He felt they are married. She is close, she is female(she even put off the helmet to show hime she is not his 'bro'), she babysit his kid.
And in married couple, everything that is his - is their's. So he felt like sharing DS with his wife)))

I had a hard time getting into the episode after the Mon Calamari spoke with an English accent.

Yeah, I didn’t dislike it, but I completely forgot Mando was still coming out tbh. It’s just been really underwhelming so far. It’s really disappointing that Bad Batch has outdone this season.

It was a brilliant tribute to the SW Clone War series.

This was such a filler episode

I must be one of the few people who can’t stand Jack Black. He and Lizzo were pretty much the only bad part of this ep to me.

One minor irritation was the way Bo gets the saber. Iirc the whole reason she wasn’t respected when she had it before was because Sabine just gave it to her. This technicality feels like exactly the same thing happening. It was pretty weak and anticlimactic. At least Visla tried to take it from him the proper way.

But if you think about it, the whole winning it in battle thing is pretty weak. It looks good on the surface, but what’s to keep Mando from fake fighting her and losing on purpose? (Which is what I expected to happen) Or arm wrestling her for it? It’s a dumb concept that sounds cool until you pick at it.

I liked the droids at the droid bar. Seeing B1 Battle Droids, and B2 Super Battle Droids is always fun. They also managed to get some more Mandalorians back on their side, which I’m feeling is going to, at some point, lead into a major conflict with Gideon, and possibly some Mandalorians that may have sided with him.
