The increased time between TV show seasons really bothers me now, no one wants to wait 2.5 years for a new season of a show.

What are you talking about? We just had a Mandalorian season this year! Even Boba Fett cameoed in it!

*SEVERE ANNOYANCE* what, is this actually the fourth delay?? They're not hesitating to really push it. This is bull****. What do you want to bet TBB gets delayed again too?

We have waited overlong for both those shows.

Probably strategic for their quarterly calls. They can tell upset investors that the next quarter is looking bright with this show coming up:lol
 
This was shared on the Boba Fett Fan page on FB. Looks like Favreau wrote most of the episodes, a couple with Filoni and one with one of the BoBF writers.

I really think BOBF negatively affected my overwhelming excitement I had for this season, both in how awful BOBF was as a show, but also the decision to return Grogu to Din so quickly after his 'Summer Camp' trip with Luke. Season 2 of Mando was entirely about reaching that conclusion of Grogu going with Luke. That was the plot, taking Grogu to his people, and the sacrifice that Din has to make to let him go. The emotions of that scene are wonderful and so in line with the themes of George Lucas Star Wars. A parent letting a child go to make their own destiny.

The decision to return the two of them to each other before even episode 1 of season 3 feels so corporate. Like Chapek/Iger or someone around them told Faverau that they cannot keep Grogu out of the show because of the merchandise sales and viewership interest. I was so excited for a true focus on Din, on finding out what happened to Mandalore, on the politics of the race. Those arcs in Clone Wars are some of the best stuff in that show imo. Instead we get more Grogu/Din adventures with that stuff going to the backburner likely. It feels hard to be invested in something that feels like it will always return to that status quo. I really thought this show would be more than that. Just my two cents. Trying to mentally figure out why I'm so indifferent on this show's return, and Star Wars as a whole.
 
Really would not have minded seeing Grogu split off into his own spinoff show to show his progression as a jedi, and seeing Mando go take care of business on Mandalore/fight over the darksaber. I think we will see the latter part, but the Groginator will be tagging along and thats a bit of a bummer.

What they did severely cheapened the emotional payoff of the season 2 finale, no two ways about it.

I was really hoping that Ahsoka would have taken Grogu, but then when Luke took him, I was like cool. They are going to focus more on Din, Bo and the fight between mandalorians.

I agree with everything you just stated, but the other major point of reuniting Din and Grogu was for this reason as some of us believe.....

I was going to order the 2 pack, but I don’t know if I need it. If this is all leading to the farce awakens, then I’m good with my one ot figure a year.

Great point about these Disney series leading up to TFA fantasticfrog. I am guessing that when we saw Grogu arrive in the X-Wing, many of us knew Ben would actually be Luke's first student in the school, thereby solidifying Disney's trilogy story arc.

This is when we were discussing BOBF, figures and the representation of Hot Toys figures to the show. (Feb.2022)

Even bringing Grogu back half way through season 3 would have been better. Let Din do his own thing before the reunion.

Didn't bother me, the faster Grogu (a name I will never like) got back to Din D'jarin, the better. It's not that there couldn't be an adventure with Grogu separated from Mando; I just thought the whole Luke thing was pandering to begin with, and permanently robbed me of some awesome appearance in the finale end battle.

Which will probably happen anyway, but it won't be the same. Plus all the rehash of the unkillable Ahsoka and Grogu got trained on Coruscant because of course he did zzzzzzzzzz:stake. At least Rebels had a different Jedi temple with some IMO cool graphics and images (which showed up in Andor which was awesome. Of course that show is a masterpiece).

LOL it's not that I'm not excited about Mando 3 (expect for the awkward shame of no Cara Dune) it's - it's the George Martin thing. No point in getting excited when the next release just drags on, and on with delays, while Disney serves up filler or whatever the company is doing. Tho overall, am optimistic about S3 so far.

I'm waiting for those that watched Season 2, but skipped Book of Boba Fett, to be very confused by some things going into Season 3...

It can be summed up simply by saying Grogu was feeling homesick and Din just went and picked him back up a few days after season 2 ended.

But Youtube/TikTok content pages will make it sound like the deepest story ever and ever compare it to Luke leaving Yoda to go to Bespin for a drawn out video:lol

The X-Wing Uber service to instantly get rid of Grogu by Luke when the poor kid decided to go with the Mandalorian way instead of the Jedi way was hilarious.

They really wrote themselves into a corner with the sequels.
“See? It’s cool. Grogu’s off to train with Luke!”
“Don’t all his students get killed later?”
“… oh, look at that. Grogu had to suddenly leave Luke because the toddler isn’t fully committed to the Jedi path. What a shocking turn of events.”

Would rather Luke had kept Grogu as his first student, and it was the rest of Disney's continuity that was wiped away. :lol

Barring that, at least a scene of the hellion Grogu steeling kid Kylo's space-macarons, setting him off on the darkpath.

Every time a character jumps through one of Filoni's time-portals, as far as I'm concerned they are triggering a different time-line. Which makes the Disney time-line and continuity officially an alternate universe timeline.
The first one was triggered as soon as Ezro pulled her out of the time-stream

Another will be wheneve he pops back from his space-whale adventure.
