- The ratings have been plummeting week on week, but this was it. The moment when Lizzo and Jack Black showed up on the Mandalorian is the moment this show finally died.

Props to Lizzo: she just single-handedly saved Jar Jar Binks from being the most hated character in the Star Wars franchise
She's competing with Rey.
You're right!
She's worst than jar jar.
Holy shit
I didn't mind Jar Jar.
You mean JarJar the Sith Lord ?
@@patrickk6331 no, Jar Jar Binks, the naive and easily fooled politician who handed the entire galaxy over to the Senate.
George Lucas built and expanded the Star Wars franchise in 30 years. Disney tore it down in less than a decade.
Stan Lee: “first time?”
they do it to western countries too.
The funny thing is this episode seemed exactly like something George would do
For me the most astonishing thing about Star Wars is how the hell an IP that was already crumbling down since 1983(!) has spurred sooooo much garbage for 40 years and counting. I can understand Star Strek, which produced TOS, TOS movies, TNG, DS9, in a span of 30+ years, but Star Wars? Shieeeet
This is 100% Kathleen Kennedy’s doing.
George Lucas is like one of those dads that paid for his daughter's Ivy League education, just to have her graduate and do Only Fans....
Not exactly .... unfortunately George KNEW what he was doing as evidenced by his interview where he called disney "white-slavers... who take these things and...."
Problem is I would have watched the only fans. These Disney Lucasfilm movies suck
That's a helluva analogy but spot-on accurate, and damn funny!
Or had his daughter become a partly head-shaved, blue-haired, tattooed and pierced activist.
More like a Indian father who arranged a marriage with an abusive husband for his daughter since he sold it
Having Lizzo in Star Wars is like Ed Sheeran in Game of Thrones it shows you the show runners would rather be popular than produce a decent quality show
Exactly this
This was worse and both took me out of the show
don't insult ed sheeran by comparing him to this hippo.
popular with who? majority of people are not woke idiots.
@@Steven-sd2zi Jack Black is just as bad for me dude. It just feels wrong
Having Lizzo in Star Wars has the same energy as Stacey Abrams being in Star Trek.
Holy shit yessss!!
Who delivered their lines better? Better than Jabba?
Or like Ed Sheeran in GoT🙄
"You've gotta do better Governor"!
Lizzo- while an amazing performer and very talented - for her venue of entertainment. it feels like she was just placed into StarWars.
Bart: This was the worst episode of The Mandalorian.
Homer: The worst episode of The Mandalorian so far.
Comic book Guy: Worst Season ever.
Underrated comment lol
Common sense guy: Star Wars is dead.
Here's the thing.
Jack Black has a very established humour brand attached to his face. When I saw his face in one excerpt from the series, I automatically assumed it came from a spoof, like something straight out of a late-night show taking the piss out of Star Wars. It's completely off brand for Star Wars to use a face like Jack Black for this.
Hell Samuel Jackson has a big personality and even he took it down almost to the point of being boring just to fit Lucas' vision. And you know what? You don't see Samuel Jackson in Star Wars, you see Mace Windu.
You can't do that with someone like Jack Black or Lizzo, especially when they look exactly like they do in other appearances.
dude soon as I saaw Jack Black I laughed..dude looked like a goofy civil war general.
Absolutely correct.
@@sk8legendz thats the look!
I'm fortunate enough to not even know who Lizzo is, but I sure as hell recognize Jack Black and you are right about his brand. I honestly love the guy to death, but he has no place in Star Wars unless underneath heavy alien make-up and doing an excellent job as a VA.
I see what you are saying. But Jim Carey in 23 and Robin Williams as a killer worked just fine even off brand.
Not knowing who Lizzo is proves the truth of the saying, "Ignorance is Bliss"
Chew that steak and enjoy the harp music. 😁

Great reference. 😂

I had no idea who she was just thought she was a bad actress it seemed like she was reading the lines from a teleprompter.
For me, Mandolorian ended with Grogu being safely delivered to Luke Skywalker.
And it's an alternate universe where Luke stayed the legendary hero that he is and the sequel trilogy never happened.
I didn't realize they did anything after. There were more seasons? Guess I'm lucky I didn't know.
@@TheAcad3mic I won/read most of the Legends. Sure there were some issues, similar to issues the Prequels raised. Lucas/Lucasfilm kept some involvement so you can see the guidance. And they had a couple of people working on continuity issues. So they at least felt in universe, even if there were mistakes. Disney does everything wrong and then screws up even more. All these famous cameos are cringe stunts, fanboy self inserts the completely take me out of the story. (which is easy because there is no story there) My head canon stays with Lucasfilm to the day George sold the franchise.
@@jasonkiefer1894 I'm blindly trekking through legends and, as fucking weird as it can be, it feels like Star Wars. Right now, I'm playing through the Dark Forces series and it's amazing. Great gameplay, solid stories (I wouldn't say they're groundbreaking), and really immerses you into the Star Wars galaxy even if it was made in a time before the prequel movies or later lore (Jedi Knight 2 was made two years before Episode 1, so it's very vague about the Jedi order before Ep 4).
as far as i'm concerned star wars peaked in Kotor 1 & 2 and it hasn't managed to reach that same level since. those two games have a better story than all of the movies combined.
Season 2's finale was the end.
Mando completed his mission to get Grogu to his home where he is safe. They had their emotional goodbye, Grogu finally saw his protector's face, and we got a bittersweet and emotional departure between the pair we had grown to love over the course of two seasons.
What better ending is there than that? Why continue after that? Story is done, lets move on.
But NOOOOOOOO, Disney/Lucasfilm does not know when to stop.
Exactly lol nothing exists after season 2 in my mind haha
Agreed. Shows they had no idea where to go story wise post Grogu. Luke’s appearance was awesome. SW fans wanted Luke in his prime. Mandolorian gave us a glimpse and honestly shoulda given us more into season 3
Favreau was forced to being back Grogu and do Book of Boba according to rumors. But what the hell do I know? Season 3 has been a mess.
100%. Said at the end of the second season that it would be the perfect place to leave the story - not in any small part because I knew that Disney would corrupt it if it went on for too long. They just can't help themselves.
I would absolutely love to know what Kennedy has on the higher-ups at Lucasfilm, though.
lmao this season is literally "The Mandalorian makes friends and maintains relationships" like what is the fuckin arc god dammit
The funny part is Bill Burr did fantastic on his cameo in the show. He is always a good addition to tv shows when they give him a chance
He really convinced me he was a solid actor when I saw him in Breaking Bad.
Burr was great, especially for someone who dislikes Star Wars so much.
F is for Family is what sold me. Frank Murphy 4 Life. I'll put you through the fucking wall.
I was about to comment this. I didn't see any cracks in his acting despite not even being an actor. He did great
He was ridiculously good
Not even the Star Wars universe could fit Lizzo inside it.
Sure it can; it may be tight but it just about fits Jabba the Hutt, and she ain't sporting no tail.
@@michaelkennedy8270 it may be tight but it just about fits Jabba the Hutt, and she ain't sporting no tail.
aahahaAAHHhaHHAHA
@@michaelkennedy8270 they already have a Jabba. Lol
DAM SON 😂
you don't need hour long collab videos to understand what is happening. yall think they make movies and shows to please you. they don't. simple
The fact that there is a LIVING MYTHOSAUR under Mandalore and we are out here having a tea party with Jack Black is ridiculous.
He's about to go to mandalore and become the dragon warrior again 😂
Good, they should leave the Mythosaur alone. Because at this point, we know Bo is either going to kill it or tame it for her own ego.
@@mallios13 Considering how lame the argument was that got her the Darksaber again, I'm hoping that the Mandalorian mercenaries are actually not all on board with her as their leader, but she (or someone else) ends up taming the Mythosaur to actually take the throne legitimately.
What is so special about this dinosaur? Boba Fett was riding it like horse...
Yeah, I have no interest in seeing another giant monster basically because a tame horse. They should be for killing and destruction, not video game mounts.
The cameo from Lizzo and Jack Black had real Star Wars Holiday Special vibes to it
Don’t give Disney any ideas
They should have had Lizzo sing a duet with Bea Arthur.
Exactly what it reminded me of.
But cringy comic relief aside, so far almost all of Season 3 feels off. The main story arc is interesting enough but does not get enough attention, and the subplots kind of feel like shitty side quests in a 90s RPG. With about the same quality of writing.
The Holiday Special now feels like a Kubrick masterpiece, doesn't?
Yes, I hadn't seen the episode yet when I saw that clip being shared and I thought at first it was a lame spoof attempt, lol. Then I literally did a double take when I saw Bo Katan in the background.
What this show really needs is Jim Carrey as a goofy, manic Sith lord.
Vader Voice: So… Big Gulps, huh?
Well Jim Carrey can legitimately act if he really feels like it, so I wouldn't mind seeing him in Star Wars if given good material.
Count Olaf with a lightsaber
At this point Id say fuck it! May aswell.
@@DreamStepper Yeah I can see it now. Aaaaaaaaalllllhighgroundthen!
How the hell did we go from Alec Guinness & Peter Cushing to Lizzo and Jack Black?
D.I.S.N.E.Y.
Money.
and Christopher Lee. I feel like Jack Black cameo is too silly for Star Wars, Bill Burr was pushing it as well but it had that great cafeteria scene.
@@Ultizer I feel like Jack Black could work, the problem is that people only use him for that one wacky comedy relief character that he always does. Lizzo too, she could play a Hutt.
@garym6315
I'm happy to see Jack Black was getting work, though I suspect him playing Bowser and the hype that generated is why he was hired to do a guest appearance.
The Mandalorian was the flagship show that gave people hope for decent star wars content.
And of course, Disney mucked it up.
Yeah. Season 2 finale was a high point and then they ruin everything with Book of Boba Fett and Season 3. Andor was good, though.
In the words of the Joker
*_" It is not about the money, it is about sending 'A MESSAGE'. "_*
@@robbhays8077 Boba Fett was at least watchable. Naturally knowing how badass he was in lore and now seeing him often in a tank healing is absurd but at least it had a good idea. Once a mercenary is fed up and wants to be the boss himself but treat his subordinates with respect. It was something but now we get nothing.
I just wonder when people are going to stop entirely? After Last Jedi I checked out. I'm not even interested in watching the OG trilogy again cause it is becoming an intentionally lessened part of a bigger narrative. Also it's frustrating to me as a struggling artist that I have to compete with the corpse of a franchise that people can't stop watching.
@@robbhays8077 just wait until the execs co-opt Andor too
Casting Lizzo as the Death Star was genius !!
Kenobi - "That's no moon, that's Lizzo"
Jabba the Slutt
Lizzo the hutt.
Lizzo the hutt vs Darth Diabetus.
i bet Lizzo has a "small exhaust port just below her main port" in her trench.
Never thought Lizzo getting clapped by Jack Black would become official Star Wars cannon. 😂
canon is the official narrative, cannons shoot things.
By clapped... you don't mean.... do you?
@@30noir goes to show how poorly educated Star Wars fans are and thus how little their opinions matter on anything, including that Disney Star Wars is terrible.
Did the big lassie play Jack's flute?
@@30noir I don't know man, when I see Lizzo I think of a "cannon" sized hole, not "canon".
When i saw Lizzo and jack black appear, my friends and I couldn't help but laugh. We knew people were going to lose their absolute shit over it but our expectations are so low that we just wanted to see where it went.
You see them on screen and immediately wonder what the comedy sketch is gonna be like. (Because you can't take this seriously.)
It wasn’t that bad imo Jack still
Got it
@@Sorain1EXACTLY!! I was thinking, wait did I just click on SNL? It was so weird and the acting and characters were so far out of place. Bryce Dallas Howard should never be allowed to direct again. To borrow a Gen-Z phrase, f’ing Nepo-babies.
Having singers and non-actors as cameos is the modern day "jumped the shark"
I hope you’re not implying Jack Black is a ‘non-actor’
Honestly though, Jack started as an actor, that what he is. He was a 'comedy actor, but an actor.
Yeah this is definitely the jump the shark moment.
But look how they massacred our man Christopher Lloyd into this!😟
Guess it's a holiday special throwback decision
I don't know what makes me more upset, the fact that Mando is dead or the fact that I am now aware of Lizzo and how she got famous.
Lizzo 🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
Also Todd, where's my canvas bag ?!
I get people might not take to her as a actress but she is a talented musician
@@wally7361 No. She really isn't

That awkward moment when Din Djarin became a sidekick character of his own show:
I miss when he was a gritty, violent bounty hunter who nearly died against a space rhino if it wasn’t for Grogu.. that was the peak of their relationship - cos I actually felt a sense of peril.. then he got that beskar suit - and I’m suddenly supposed to worry? It’s like John Wick with his bulletproof suit.
The first 2 Seasons literally focused on Din now Season 3 is like a Reboot but this time taking pages out of Book of Boba Fett getting sidelined.
its about bo katann now. idk who is writing this show but they try so hard to make bo katann the main protagonist
People who watched Boba Fett : first time?
@@firstlast9846 It would’ve been cool to see him get that beskar armor right before he ascended the throne. Like Aragorn in his shiny armor when he finally accepts the crown. Imagine if each Mandalorian clan leader donated a little of their beskar to him as a sign of respect and the armorer melts it down to build him a suit of armor fit for the Mand’alor.
Lizzo the Hutt absolutely killed me 🤣😂
I really feel for the real SW Fandom, having to watch something that has brought so many people joy for so long be destroyed right before your eyes sucks!
We don’t watch it.
The star wars "fandom" belongs to the normies now...
I watched the 1st Star Wars movie in theaters. I collected marvel comics from the 70s. Disney destroyed my childhood enthusiasm within a decade. I'm done with both.
@@ChiefManny1 What happened was that before 2016, entertainment had only pockets of Democrat activists in its messaging, after Trump I think many CEO's clearly pushed the panic button. I think KK took her friend Hillary Clinton's loss very seriously and retooled the Last Jedi for this. What happens when you start to hire yes people and activists is that they don't question the message at all at they are all on the same political page. No one at Disney right now is saying maybe this is not right or maybe we should rethink this, they are all in the same fart bubble and what everyone should get ready for, and this will be yet again really bad for the workers is Disney to Enron itself and in the wake of that take most of the movie industry with it.
@@Viothon Think you should change your last name to Schizophrenia.
They're about to destroy Thrawn with Ahsoka. This is unforgivable.
Yeah but all the Rebels fanboys are gonna defend that to the death. Mark my words.
I just saw the trailer overall I would say this:
CGI looks pretty!
I doubt the story will be good since Dave Filoni is overrated.
HE was so good in Rebels, and the Book of Zhan made him the true legacy as vilain, but they gonna ruin him. I might fear they gonna make him a second class, and someone else gonna be a vilain :(
the comments on the trailer are.. disheartening. none of them are willing to hold disney accountable for the bs.
Even if it ends up good, why should I cross my fingers and assume it’ll maintain its quality for future seasons? Why get invested in the story when I know the clowns in charge are unreliable at best?
I like how Grogu was "Knighted" for helping a Hutt cheat at a silly game. Nice lesson for the kiddos.
haha, what a lame society that shows it to be, and how lazy that it's just such a familiar-looking ritual for us
De-moralisation of society
Also grogu was always a POS idk why people like it. Media said it was cute and the npcs made it gospel
Lol
Lesson for the kiddos? Foh
"But it's Kawaiiiii"
I think it’s interesting to point out how Bill Burr and Gina Corano were actors who had stardom from other mediums (comedy and MMA) but they didn’t break immersion.
They played larger roles though and had a point of being there. These episodes are to disjointed now. There’s not a whole lot of point to them
@@connorbingel7134 I honestly think that’s why a lot of people disliked them. Star Wars has been home to comedy and levity before but I think it’s pretty clear that Mando fans want serious episodes that are plot driven.
@@dilboo I think the danger of “pointless” comedy from a plot perspective is that if it doesn’t land, it just comes across as stupid and a waste of time
"To the empire…" is still one of my favorite scenes in Mando
They’re less famous. Cast Jack Black as an alien in a suit or CGI not looking / acting like himself.
You know a show is dead when the Main Protagonist starts taking a back seat in his own show.
That's been happening ever since Loki. Why's this new.
Like in the first series of the punisher? Glad I've got Garth Ennis comics
Just like Luke & Boba Fett. 😡I HATE Disney.
4 seconds of Brad Pitt in DeadPool playing the invisible guy is how a cameo should be done.
SO we should electrocute Lizzo and Jack black. Would watch that.
Daniel Craig as a Stormtrooper
Matt Damon as Loki in thor ragnarok was hilarious too lol
We went from Princess Leia in the bikini to Lizzo, and they say that's an improvement...
How many girls are going to cosplay Lizzo versus metal bikini Leia at comic con?
@@jonwwillis those are girls?
@@reprogrammingmind women cosplayers do go to comic cons. Have you never been to one?
Who says that?
Dammit, another treasured visual of Princess Leia ruined!
The problem with Mando season 3 is that we didn't see Din without Grogu at all. The fact that there was an episode in the Book of Boba Fett all about Din going to try to see Grogu, and Luke making him choose between Jedi and Mando ways didn't allow the momentous season 2 ending to sit at all. It was right back to business as usual. Truthfully, Din should have gone most of season 3 without Grogu, realized how much he missed him, and went to get him back at the finale.
Agreed! What happened in the book of Boba kinda made the ending to season 2 of Mando completely pointless.
Also agree. After what Mando went through to get him there, you'd think Grogu would have chosen the light sabre because that is what Din wanted. Perhaps later, Luke could realize that he wasn't happy or focused, and allowed Grogu to leave... At least a few more episodes of suspense would have made sense.
Concur. Also, since we didn't watch Boba Fett, we had no idea what the F%^&%*^& was going on
@@rog6725 I must admit during the start of season 3 of Mando I'd actually forgot all about Grogu choosing Mando over the Jedi training at first in the Book of Boba Fett. I was like 'eh?????'........then 30 mins in I remembered lol. Sums up the writing. I'll never forget how season 2 of Mando ended, for me that was the best thing Disney have done with the franchise since Darth Vader's Rogue One corridor scene. Like father like son! But Season 3 of Mando has taken simply too long to get interested, hence many people not bothering to watch it.
@@gtvrossa Concur. They could have kept it going as a "Kung Fu" adventure of the week, but the kid should have stayed with Luke
Lizzo is quickly becoming the final nail in the coffin of whatever she is in!
You mean the final donut in the donut box...I don't think lizzo can ever be compared to a nail.
@@dannycrankovich LMAO
Nah she just sits on the nail... And drives it through.
@@dannycrankovich GOLD! 😂😂

Subverting expectations, Bo-Katan was The Mandalorian all along.
Maybe the real mandalorian is the enemies we made on the way
It’s the old trick. male hero sacrifice himself or steps away to make way for female hero
@@Cyrus_II - The irony is that I thought she was going to get the Darksaber all along. I just thought it was going to happen at the end of a season-long arc where her philosophy and Din's eventually gets to a point where they're diametrically opposed to each other, and they have some kind of duel where she legitimately wins and earns the title of ruler.
She doesn't get it randomly handed to her at the end of a filler episode with stunt casting.
@@crazyrabbits thats what everyone thought this show was heading...
The zoom on Starbuck was one of the saddest things ever. Sadly Pedro is probably in full support of being a cuck.
We've gone from that epic scene in season 2 with Bill Burr sitting at table with imperial and mandalorian, to Grogu using the force to help Lizzo win at a silly game. For just a moment, I thought they were two different shows..
Dont forget that literally half of season 1 was filler. Mandalorian S2 was more consistently non filler but S3 filler vs story progression isnt coming out of nowhere. Its just disappointing because we all viewed S2 as an improvement over S1 in that aspect, and then it reversed course
@@Tylerm1013 nah sorry, don't compare the two. The filler of season one was still authentic and genuine to what the show was, even if it was meh, it was still done in good spirit. But what we have now is simply THE MESSAGE
@@Captain_Insano_nomercy I disagree. What "message" were we getting in this latest episode?
It was trash filler, but they weren't pumping messages into us here
@@Tylerm1013 Season 2 was loaded with filler what are you talking about? Season 2 can basically be described as "it's cameo time."
@@Tylerm1013 did you see the multiple obese people? How the crotchety old guy who liked "the old ways" was the villain? The guy who hated democracy and soft people but loved Count Dooku? How Bo Katan beat a stereotypically toxic male leader who was overly aggressive and impulsive in combat?
Grogu not choosing the lightsaber killed a lot of enthusiasm
The hilarious part is the Darksaber was built... by a Mandalorian Jedi, so the entire idea of the two cultures not fitting together is retarded.
Once that happened I knew, hope for this franchise to get good was gone
We knew it was going to happen from the very beginning. We knew he was going to going to choose Mando over being a Jedi.
@@DarksideGmss0513 what are you on about
@@streven1331 we knew that Grogu wasn't going to choose the lightsaber we knew he was going to become a Mandalorian from the very beginning.
I’m actually proud of Star Wars going back to practical effects by having an actress play Jabba.
Cruel.... but humorous.
Lizzo the Hutt
I haven't heard a well timed Jabba fat joke for 30 years. For a second there I thought I punched through my lightbright into another dimension again.
😂😂😂😂
By the way, in Clone Wars there was Momma the Hutt. She looks like her.
The Jack Black & Lizzo duo is exactly like the Dwarf & wife couple in Rings Of Power. It's like they saw the flop that is Rings Of Power and thought "how can we replicate that?"
No, the couple in Rings of Power was actually good.
@@rennmaxbeta Ya might be right. My opinion might be inaccurate as I snoozed through both shows.
TBF Jack Black seems like he might actually fit....as a comedic character (a pirate maybe?) or a one-off voiceover
The difference is that the couple in ROP the actress who plays the dwarf is an actress. Not a singer pretending to be an actress. The dwarf plot in ROP was actually okay. One of the only decent parts of the show.
When she tried to get at Chris Hemsworth she became to the first person in history to punch both above and below her weight.
Oh snap! A fat joke. 🤙🏾
Chris Hemsworths model wife definitely felt intimidated by the fact Big Momma from Big Mommas house was trying to seduce her husband.
At first I didn't recognize lizzo when I did I almost cried because I knew the mandalorian was truly dead.
This was their big "save the franchise" episode with all the "Star power". Jack Black, Lizzo, and Christopher Lloyd. The writers were high on themselves for coming up with this glorious idea and patted each other on the back and danced in their denial. It's really sad to see Star Wars fall to such a low. This is what happens when finance is the primary goal.
Christopher Lloyd probably just needs to show up to keep his SAG benefits.
I thought it was great. They touched on droids and their lives, separatism, post imperial area, and mandalorian factionalism. It's great.
@@Solitas777 no sale.
@@johneyton5452 virgin alert, you sound like prequel haters, come up with an original opinion maybe? instead of D-riding haters.
If that was their goal it failed miserably. It appears to check enough diversity boxes.
“Talk about punching above your weight, I don’t mean that literally” lmao I am dying
There aren’t too many women who would outweigh Chris Hemsworth, but Lizzo is definitely one.😂
I think the only reason why Bill Burr worked well in s1-2 is because they actually gave him a mini character arch with an actual character development. Although be it short, he was an interesting cast calling and seemed to genuinely envelope the role
I wouldn't even argue he had a great arc (on account of him blowing up the facility full of soldiers he felt moderately sorry for, excluding his former commander). But I would argue that reason why Bill Burr worked was that... It wasn't Bill Burr. He actually acted the character he was given. But with Jack Black and Lizzo? They're there, just as Jack Black and Lizzo.
Christopher Lloyd showed up only due to his hearing loss he heard “man-DELoREAN”
Please tell me they made that joke.
Oh! It makes so much sense now
well played
Great Scott!
@@theunknowncommenter725 I know, this is heavy!
The best cameo I can think of in recent memory was having Brad Pitt as Vanisher in Deadpool 2. There is just something that is so funny about getting a very attractive absolute mega star to play a character who doesn't speak and is completely invisible except for half a second when you see him die.
That was a good joke, got to give it to them there.
Matt Damon in Interstellar was another surprising casting.
George Clooney playing Cartman's cat energy.
@@TheGrimmCommoner Matt Damon was in Deadpool 2 as well lmao
Movie wasn't good (hey guys let's get the most annoying kid in the world a lead role), but that part was.
It’s hilarious to think at one point people were touting Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni as the saviours of Star Wars.
I think they are experiencing increased external interference now (Kathleen Kennedy et al)
Yeah they are more like Dave and David from game of thrones
Yes. I wonder what is really going on. Are Jon and Dave the real deal, and have they just been crippled this season with studio KK interference? If they are as good as people used to think, then what went wrong on the Fett and Kenobi shows? KK yet again? If the pair of them were allowed to run Star Wars and KK was out along with her crew of idiots would they do better....I am no longer so sure.
The problem is that SO MUCH rides on who's directing the episode. Some directors want to make a mature, story-driven, well paced episode, while others want to show us a 35 min goofy side quest
To be fair, without the empire looking over their shoulders they would be able to at least crank out competent content
Star Wars died when Bob Iger and Kathleen Kennedy fire a space laser on the expanded universe.
The last Jedi was just a mercy killing
I’d argue not when they fired it but when they had the intent to fire it. Bc Bob knew when George signed those papers everything going to be thrown out
Lizzo and Jack Black are literally crushing everything. They have the combine gravity pull of two Death Star. When they get in range of each other, it sets off the LIGO detector. The mythical collision of two black holes.
We need more Yo Momma jokes... These two whales should be perfect.
Just when you thought this show couldn't get worse.
@@Peak_Aussieman 😂
If there is anything I've learned over the last few years, is to NEVER think a Disney/Star Wars product couldn't get worse.
it can always get worse
Shhh!🤫
They're definitely trying!🤗
I think it actually is getting better. It's finally about the Mandalorians. People seem to not know what the hell they want.
Mandalorian had potential, I truly believe that. However, it died for me when they brought back grogu during Boba Fett and didn't let Mando actually have his own show. It's the Grogu show featuring Mando and now it seems there's yet ANOTHER character taking the spotlight from him in what is supposed to be his own show on
This. Feels like we’re headed towards Bo Katan season 1 rather than mando season 4
correct spot-on
This, it was Grogu coming back in another show that did it for me, as if the investment in the plot was just a waste of time
if you had any bit of foresight youd know that it was never just gonna be about Din
it peaked with season 2, they made all the character cameos, Boba Fett, Luke, Ahsoka, and the finale of S2 felt like it could've been the end of the show, so my interest in upcoming seasons died there, died even more when i heard about Grogu return. And this is not even the last season, are you kidding me, this show has no subtance and characters to hold up to 4+ seasons, this is a joke
Lizzo is also known for disrespectfully twerking while playing James Madison's glass flute
And she rapped about cutting off a man’s… yeah… smh
The sad thing is that later she played it, dressed more like a normal person attending a fancy DC event, and was pretty good (being a trained flutist and all). But all anyone saw was the waving it around and twerking in that almost non-outfit like it were part of a regular concert of hers, playing all of like 2-3 notes.
It didn't help that it was used as an excuse to scream "RAAAAAAYCISSS!", leftists claiming that people were criticizing her not because she was being disrespectful with a national treasure but because she's black.
For the first two seasons I was blown away by how great the series was. It felt like 'movie quality' to me. Now every episode varies from good to okay. There were some great scenes, some enjoyable characters, and occasional hints of good things to come, but then the characters' difficulties are wrapped up too easily and neatly with a bow. And the overall story of Din and Grogu seems to have lost its momentum because of too many subplots that turn out to be dead ends. I keep hoping that the Mandalorian will get back on track. Otherwise, there was never a reason why Grogu can use the force, and happens to be the same species as Yoda, beyond tapping fan emotions.
Brutal honesty: You have bad taste. Star Wars is a dead franchise running purely on nostalgia and rampant consumerism - you are literally the cause of the continual beating of the dead horse. Please stop.
Protip: Instead of sitting there braindead watching another trashy installment in a franchise that's the equivalent of a dead horse thats been beaten into dust, go read a book written before 1965.
I suggest the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius or Vom Krieg (On War).
100% you expressed my feelings to a tee.
Seriously spot on
The Mandalorian is going to be Loki/Hawkeye 2.0, where the titular character is a support character in his own show. Also, for everyone that thought that Dave Filoni or Jon Favreau were going to "save the franchise" I think it's pretty telling that is not going to happen. Dave Filoni especially is just a Joss Whedon 2.0.
Loki sucked but nothing was wrong with Hawkeye Christmas mini series

Season 1 of the Mandalorian worked just fine. Although every episode had the same formula, it was enough to make people happy again just because they once didn't do something massively and obviously stupid with the I.P. You just had to wonder how long can you go forward with the same formula for every episode.
Season 2 was actually good, because they mixed the fetch quest episodes with episodes who actually moved the plot forward and it seemed they actually had a plan for the plot (I know amazing, right?)
AND THEN the Book of Boba came a long and had absolutely nothing to tell, dragged the Mandelorian into this and reversed the whole plot of season two of Mando and its grand finale.
So once again you got this feeling: Oh they don't have a plan, they don't know what to do, they do have one original character in years that works as merchandise (Grogu/ Baby Yoda) they just wsnna cash in on it.
But fans stop caring for your shows when you make it this obvious that you don't have a plan or the plan ( I believe Dave Falloni actiually had one) just gets dumped on. Again.
Putting Lizzo (and Jack Black) into Star Wars (Mandalorian) is like putting Stacey Abrams into Star Trek (Discovery) or Megan Three Stallion into Marvel (She Hulk). In an earlier time, cameos featured a very good, skilled actor who added extra spice to the show or movie. Now it's more like a wink, wink insider joke from Hollywood against fans who take the IP seriously.
"fans who take the IP seriously"
Bruh they're literally movies and TV shows made to sell toys. Nobody in their right mind should take them more seriously than that.
@@AdhamOhm We do because we care about these stories, these characters, and this universe.
Besides, the argument that it's made to sell toys is weak because the merchandise is crap and not selling.
This show really started out as something really cool. It was the gritty and intense world of bounty hunters that I’ve always wanted to see more of in the universe and Mando became one of my favorite Star Wars characters ever. He had such uniqueness to his character despite not being the first Mandalorian we’ve seen in Star Wars and Pedro Pascal and his body doubles brought the character to life in ways that made him so endearing.
Now? I just don’t know what the show is now. It’s been stripped of everything that made fans like me fall in love with it.
It was good because it was ignored by the empire... Then the emperor (Kathleen Kennedy) and her dark agents noticed it.
Why does every cool and gritty Star Wars show and character always get turning into this marvelsish crap.
It all went to hell with The Book of Bob, A. Fett. They royally screwed up Boba's character as established in Mandalorian and then undid 2 seasons worth of advancement by having Grogu come back even though the marketing novelty wore off to the point where his merch is in the bargain bins
Yeah. And not to mention the camera work was very similar to the camera work from the OT, plus the use of typical lucasarts sounds.
It truly felt like Star Wars at that point. But sadly ever since we've been drifting further and further away from that. And now it's barely recognizable.
@Bing Boom Pow Plus, how Leia's appeal to Obi Wan in A New Hope is worded really seems odd with the add a show involving him and her.
Where's the continuity guy for that, right?

@@drlca6601 Oh you sweet summer child... Mando was the reason ALL OF THIS WENT TO SHIT. You allowed an invincible, monotone protagonist to dictate the future of Star Wars. Tatooine went from a backwater planet to THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE FOR MULTIPLE CHARACTERS.
I love how the titular character was just like a background guy through the whole episode and also most of this season. You see a quarter of him in almost all shots, and mostly he just does nothing or barely contribute to the plot.
I never would have believed it until I saw Lizzo in this episode. Who would ever think that was a good idea?!?!?
The lowest common demoninator of pop culture has taken over everything. The reality TV culture.

Probably a relative of the same person who thought putting Stacey Abrams into Star Trek was a good idea.

If I'm being honest I found Jack Black's performance to be more immersion breaking for me. Don't get me wrong I found both to be very distracting, and maybe it's just because I don't really know Lizzo beyond a couple of her songs, but Jack Black was literally just playing "Jack Black but in Star Wars" and it took me completely out of the experience. As much as everyone is complaining about Lizzo, I actually found her character to be more believable. Although I will say that whole part of the episode felt like something ripped out of a phase-4 Marvel movie so take "believable" with a grain of salt.
This was the episode that finally convinced me that everyone involved has lost their way. Grogu is an accessory. His fate doesn't matter anymore. The bond between Din and Grogu doesn't matter anymore. Worse still they've made the entire retaking of Mandalore story boring. The joke used to be that Din's back must be sore for carrying the entire Star Wars universe on it.
Well I guess they finally broke it.
Character arcs be damned so sure, lets take our noble lead and show how violently unhinged he is towards droids. Did we not spend a few episodes where he was stubbornly refusing to give up on resurrecting a droid he respected? All of this done in service of building up Bo Katan to be the more rationale partner? This is some grade A MCU level screwing over the lead to prop up the female character.
Filloni did this with Ashoka. There's no reasons to believe he wouldn't do it with the mandalorian and Bo Katan. He's a one trick pony. And Favreau admitted that he didn't have a plan for the mandalorian. So you have it.
So I don’t expect every episode to be gold, but I agree with you to an extent. I stubbornly hope the show has something that will capture the nostalgia or some old Star Wars magic…but yea this last one and the whole season was just isn’t entertainment.
I just don’t get why people that supposedly are huge Star Wars fanboys (mainly thinking about Filoni, Favreau) somehow are ok with putting this little level of caring(couldn’t think of a better way to put it?) into something they claim matters to them. I just can’t wrap my brain around that part unless it’s pure PR that they grew up fans
@@Msh42069 People need to PUNISH Disney. I cancelled Disney Plus last year when they said they plan to jam LGBT into EVERY children's cartoon they make, but if I still had it, I'd cancel again for what they are doing to Star Wars. They do NOT CARE about Star Wars, it's just a tool to jam diversity and lectures down people's throats. When I saw the pictures of Lizzo, Jack Black, and Tim Meadows in it, I thought "Do they even THINK they are making a Star Wars anymore? Or do they openly know they are making something else and slapping the Star Wars label on it?"
Honestly, I think they just stopped trying due to either lack of ideas or just creative burnout. Either that, or they intentionally wanted bo Katan to be treated the same way as ahsoka.
@@js-cm9si my irresponsible speculation is that they were interfered with/overridden on wrapping up Mando/Grogu's arc in the middle of Boba Fett and said "F#$# it" and delivered season 3 half baked.

I think part of the issue for the Mandalorian was that they gave Dave Filoni too much writing power, and he just wanted to throw in all his animation series characters. That said Season 2 of The Mandalorian was at least "Cammeo of the Week" and then a full meet up towards the finale. They were mostly single episode story arcs, now they seem like they are mainstay's.
Which is ironic, since what made the Mandalorian so great was how it was derivative of Star Wars, without actually using a whole lot of established characters.

The problem with the Mandolorian is that it was a cool concept, but didn't actually have a story to tell, and it shows. After the initial happy surprise of a cool looking dude with a cute sidekick, it became clear that they didn't actually know where they wanted to go with the story. They did side quest after side quest with very little overarching story so besides the pretty facade, there's nothing to latch onto.
Please. The entire concept of the Mandalorian is not new at all.
It was ripped off the 60s Japanese series called Lone wolf and cub in which a descraced Samurai had to protect a 5 year old kid in a pram.
Disney just ripped it off.
Agreed. This is the entirety of Disney Star Wars - everything is just a setup, with nothing thought through or planned after the initial setup. Mandalorian had a good setup and a nice sense of something bigger waiting around the corner. But just as with every other Disney product, there was nothing else coming. Just making it up as they go along, poorly.

Have to say, Bill Burr was great in the second season. Hate to admit it, but I loved his character and wanted to see more of him in the future after that. Yes, he was still Bill Burr, but I think he played the character well enough that I could watch it without being pulled out of it.
Dude that one scene in the cafeteria, Burr showed he has serious acting chops for the right scene.
Let's not forget he was a character in Breaking Bad. He's a good actor actually
It's when the show peaked!
Bill Burr is Bill Burr in every universe at every time.
Bill Burr does not inject HIMSELF (heavily) into a movie, that's the thing. He knows it's his job to act serious when the script or overall tone demands it. Jack Black is a comedy guy 99% of the time. Not only on stage (like Burr) but in movies. You can't unsee Jack Black. I can unsee Bill Burr if he wants me to unsee him.
Anyone else notice that Lizzo's 'necklace' makes it look like her head is the middle of a Sarlac Pit? Like anything she eats slowly digests over a thousand years?
Don't you mean "The Bo show"?
Remember when she was the villain?
I think the key takeaway here is immersion. These shows just do not immerse you or take you away from the real world anymore. I cant get lost in the Star Wars universe anymore
They bring the crap we are running away from, and shoving it in our face.
Exactly! When you have "star power" cameos, it just explodes you out of the immersion.

Lizzo and Thor actually have a lot in common. For example, they both have a daily caloric intake of 6,000-8,000. The only teensy weensy little difference is Thor spends about 5 hours a day in the gym while Lizzo tests the durability of furniture made from English Oak.

The opening with the Calimari and Juliet was a complete WTF moment. The soundtrack of the show is the tie fighter sound of it losing altitude and crashing in a ravine.
That was nasty. Like I don’t understand why that scene was there
Calimario and Squidiet
I still don't understand how a corporation obsessed with making money would spend that much to acquire a definitive golden goose franchise, only to hand it over to incompetence who have no direction in mind and apparently wanted to kill it out of spite. I think only Star Trek has received a comparative level of cultural assassination.
Dr who and Terminator
Dr Who has, at times, made money but that was never really the point since it is publicly funded. You're spot on with Terminator though.
Imagine seeing T2 (which resolves the time travel nonsense and saves humanity with Arnie's big sacrifice) and asking for pitches for the next sequel and the best offer you get is "More time travel, erase Arnie's sacrifice, and humanity can't be saved no matter what".
Why assume they are obsessed with money? Power is ultimately all that matters, more then money.
I don't think incompetence is the full answer. I think if you look at Disney's leadership using each of these franchises to produce content to create dissension and division in the public and not profit, you will have to come to the conclusion that they have been entirely successful.
because they are willing to lose money in order to advance the agenda…All for The Cause.
Nite Owls when Bo-Katan receive Darksaber from Din Djarin without fighting him: "Ah, shit! Here we go again!"
It'd be completely out of character for Din to have fought for the Dark Saber, he nor his sect have shown any interest in it at all. If they're going to unite Madalorians and retake Mandalore then Din, an outsider extremist, would not be the guy for the job.
It's officially the Womandalorian.
Yeah, interesting how they made Jack Black Lizzo's little bitch.
Absolutely! People don’t tune in to watch a beta male.
I've been calling it the ma'amdalorian from the start
I, for one, am positively cock-a-hoop that all of Disney's chickens are finally coming home to roost. Never before has a company been more deserving of financial failure.
Worst part of this episode is there could have been an interesting arc for that society.
Christopher's motivation was because society relied on robots too much hence the sabotage. Instead of taking that into account they exile him and return to a society dependent on machines.
@Orion This idea came through so strongly in this episode, I thought it had to be intentional. But I bet they thought they were making some kind of "stunning and brave" anti-message with this episode. These people are so completely captured by their ideology their "message" ends up coming out the opposite of their intentions
I can't belive that Jon Favreau did not receive any pressure from the company, to "adjust" the mandalorian to the message, his early works on the starwars franchise were good, his later work is flipped completely to straight nonsense. There is such a big gap in the type of work he made that no one can fake such competence in the beginnings and then being so incompetent now.
I'll be generous and think that Jon had so much studio interference from KK that he's at the point where he no longer gives a fuck.
Favreau isn't the savior of Star Wars that people think. He is just another hack who is more interested in his own ego.

The whole episode didn’t feel like Star Wars- I just kept thinking back on the trailer for season one showing Stormtroopers heads on pikes and a grizzled, gnarly underworld of Star Wars. This episode reminded me of Canto Bite.

My first reaction when hearing about this rubbish was literally “… well, does she play a Hutt? Lizzo the Hutt?”
Lizzo the hutt.
The ending of season 2 has completely lost all it's emotional resonance, because Grogu went back a few months later.
I remember seeing Attack of the Clones for the first time, I know it has bad moments but when we saw Jango in his armour with the iconic T helmet we immediately thought this guy is dangerous, and the few times we saw him he was trouble and meant business. Jango was a good character albeit killed off too early in my opinion. Mando in season 1 had a similar intimidating presence but now Mandaloriens just don't feel intimidating anymore.
Not to mention that they feel terribly incompetent. How many times do you have to be attacked by a flying monster to figure out that you need a watch to keep an eye out for it? How many times do you need to be pinned down by fire from an elevated position to figure out that you can use those bloody jetpacks to have cover from the roofs?

My main gripe with The Mandalorian season 3 is that they've turned it into a kid's show. I'm still somewhat enjoying it just enough to keep watching, but what a quality plummet from seasons 1 & 2.
Your comment is quite peculiar. The whole 'Star Wars' universe *started* as a children's show. That's why George Lucas took a pay cut in exchange for money from merchandising, merchandise that was made *for children!* Lucas knew exactly what type of movies he was making. Now because the kids have grown up, but haven't *grown out* of the 'Star Wars' saga, and are griping about a supposedly "childish" show, says it all. It's a serious detachment from reality. If you still like watching 'Star Wars' stuff, fine, but don't expect anything other than a children's story.
@@markv1274 The Mandalorian might be based somewhat on a kids show (kids but also all ages), but the Mandalorian itself was more mature and that's why we loved it. I don't see why anything SW has to be a kid's show just because the original source material was more kid orientated. SW had a wonderful blend of kid-friendly and also adult entertainment so future projects could choose which elements to focus on more.
Filoni is the stereotype of a fan inserting their OCs the minute they get any power over a franchise.
Tbf Star Wars needs more original characters.. instead of spinning off old characters and ruining them.. but these type of original characters are trash ngl.
Bo Katan and Ahsoka were interesting in Clone Wars but Ahsoka I feel didn’t have anything to do do post clone wars and should’ve kicked it off screen or maybe been a new teacher at Luke’s *after* the war. As for Bo Katan this series fails to acknowledge her part in the rise of Death Watch and her attempt to usurp the thrown of her sister, as well as that ridiculous helmet rule. If Pre Viszla could freely remove his helm I see no reason why his followers made up this rule about being seen helmet-less.
I thought Filoni was better than this, but apparently he just wants to wallow in the Hollywood quagmire with all the rest of the swamp monsters.
Is it Filoni's Fault or pressure from above?
@@doopdoopdopdop7424 Disney shot themselves in the foot with the sequel trilogy, They want their representation and strong female characters but don't put in the work. Ashoka was an actual character that was properly developed during the clone wars but the big problem is All roads lead down one path. Luke dying and the Jedi order being destroyed and mary sue ray being one of the last jedi in the galaxy and the new grand master of the order. Any character that is related to Lukes Jedi order has to die and Disney can't afford to kill them off as Grogu is the only thing thats actually profitable from star wars.
As for Bo Katan, anyone who watches The clone wars will instantly dislike her for her part in the death of Satine and her indirect assistance in helping Palpatine. During the last 3 seasons, She has made no effort to change or redeem herself nor as the show shown anything either. In fact its done the opposite, she gets everything handed to her with no real struggle or effort put in, meanwhile Grogu who should have been training with luke is back and mando is getting dumber and feels less skilled with each epsode.
Outside of the clone wars, the old republic and some of the games, i have absolutely no interest in star wars and i don't really care if the franchise dies but man it has to be embarrassing for disney when star wars, the greatest franchise in "nerd culture" has been relegated to a tv show on a streaming service.

I was so excited when Grogu went away with Luke. I loved the first episode when we got to see Din doing the bounty hunter thing on his own, and I wanted to see more of that. I feel like I’m one of the few people that doesn’t like Grogu. For me, I think he’s one of the most annoying characters I’ve seen since Jar Jar. I laughed when he jumped from Din to Lizzo. Every time Grogu “jumps” he looks like what he probably is - a prop puppet being tossed around on set.
Anyway, I was hoping to see less Grogu, more bounty hunting. Then again, I would’ve loved to have seen the resurrection of Din’s Razor Crest. I miss that ship. 😭 It deserved better.
So agree. The bounty hunting, Quille, Cara Dune badass villain Moff Gideon and the razor crest. That's what made it. Bo Katan is not a Cara Dune replacement, at least she was humble. The Naboo fighter is not the Razor Crest. It was a practical but powerful ship.
I cant stand the little green git either. I was never that keen on him from the off. But three seasons later he is just getting to Jar Jar level. There is no character development for him. He needs to learn to speak. All he does in every episode is look cute. Or gurgle. Or get in trouble and need rescuing. Or do a cute baby thing like stealing a shiny control knob to keep. Or lastly pull off some force trick or stunt to save himself or someone else. And that is all he does. That is what you get every episode, nothing changes.
Grogu was good for what he was originally intended. But the merchants at Disney got in the way and tried for a cash grab.
No, you are definitely not the only one.
Baby Yoda was a good MacGuffin for the start of the show. But, after he had served his purpose, he should have stayed with Luke.
I always got the impression that Disney was caught by surprise at the huge reaction to "baby Yoda" in the TV series did not originally plan for him to become a permanent part of the cast.
I'll admit I liked the character when he was introduced in S1, but for me, he's outlasted his welcome. At this point, though, disney has firmly cemented him as the co-star of the series and I'm not sure how they could get rid of him now. 😕

My theory: Cara Dune was supposed to be more integral to the S3 story. So when Gina Carano got canned for absolutely nothing, they had to hastily rewrite not only S3 but also Book of Boba Fett and the only thing they could think to do was bring back Grogu.
Nah, they want Grogu because they know that cute baby is the only thing people care about in this show!
@@iamtherealrauschguy The main story arc of S3 has plenty of opportunities for some great Star Wars. The problem isn't that it got stretched too thin, the problem is that their writers are shit. Grogu got pushed back in but he's less than filler at this point. They could actually do what they did with Rogue One and Andor except in reverse order: have the series establish the main characters and the story line, and instead of a lackluster S4, have a movie where they lead up to retaking Mandalor.
Also the episode with the Doctor looked like it was supposed to from Rangers of the New Republic which was going to be Gina Carano's spin off show. Cancelled.
I always assumed that Carano's firing delayed Mando s3 and led to part of s3 being put in Boba Fett. And yeah it's possible she was also going to be in Boba and they had to find something else to replace her last minute. That'd help explain why the Boba series was such a mess.
@@kaasmeester5903 this is a highly under appreciated take lol. The bones are there, the writers/showrunners just suck lol
The first two seasons were accurately described as an adventure of the week, or side fetch-quest, with an overarching story. And some of the sidequests were far more interesting than others. This is just what was needed to revitalize the franchise. A Spaghetti western themed episodic small adventures under a large story was a perfect way for Star Wars to go back to basics and it's roots in Western and Samurai stories. The perfect example of this was the standoff on one side of the wall and the saber fight on the other in that Ashoka episode of season 1
But this third season very quickly lost its footing as the main antagonist was unknown until the 7th of 8 episodes.
That compounded with the forced removal of fan favorite character Cara Dune didn't help matters.
I was hoping they could work into the plot 2 other well liked characters. Cobb Vanth who found and borrowed Bobba Feitts armor and became ally to both Din and Bobba. The other is Migs Mayfield, the former imperial sharpshooter who lost all love for the empire when all his friends were killed by his own leaders with Operation Cinder.
2 or 3 if those meandering sidequest episodes could have been about how those adults can take the creed, learn to battle in the way, and become Mandalorian.
Of course having episodes devoted to adult white men, and bringing Gina Carano back in any capacity would definitely, as you say, conflict with "The Message."
Brad Pitt's cameo on deadpool 2 is how it should be done.
I love that cameo. 😂
Disney is like the ex that keeps trying to give you gifts, but they can't understand that you have changed and the gifts are all things that they thought you liked but really you were just satiating them because they were so high maintenance and controlling and never really found out what you really wanted during the entire relationship. Thus the breakup. you still listen for a bit because you are a nice person, but you take the gifts and don't like or use them, then you take them and throw them in the trash and focus on what you like, lastly you just ghost and ignore them all together because they will never get the hint.

@@markroberts928 its because the writer was not a super fan of Star Wars and came at the show with actually solid writing that one, didn't treat their audience like they were five and had to distract them with a shiny laser sword every five secs. And 2, kept easter eggs to a minimum and when they were there didn't hold on it like "See Star Wars reference". The current issue with Star Wars is they won't allow the galaxy to actually feel like a galaxy. It feels like a gated community where everyone knows everyone.
it wasn't.
@@TheGamefreak612 Exactly. Its a status hire or an ideologue who gets these gigs most of the time these days, and thats a tragedy with the wealth of void space on these characters' backstory. So much can be done and done well without CONSTANTLY beating the clearly deceased Star Wars horse.
If anything, Andor only made everything else look WORSE. Granted it's the first and perhaps last time we actually get something that wasn't created by brainlets.
