I said it before and I'll say it again. Grogu is the worst part of the mandalorian. I wanted a cool space bounty hunter show, and then we ended up with a babysitter with the mandalorian and parcs & rec in space with the book of boba fett.
Not saying you are wrong but Half my family only watches it for the baby. Im thinking Disney knows that.
And therein lies the problem.
Gotta placate the masses to keep them from wondering just how many Nazis ol' Walt squirrelled away back in the day (& since). 🤫
Grogu was fine until he became the forcibly inserted Jedi. I don't know why they're so afraid to make a Star Wars story without Jedis.
People fucking love space wizards. I don't think star wars is really sci fi, it's more just space fantasy. Anytime a story becomes about powers and settings it loses its characters and its narrative.
Power creep is also a bitch. Wow its awesome when you blow up a planet with state of the art SFX! But in the sequel, what do you do? Blow up the solar system? Or will 2-3 planets suffice? What do you do for season 3? Once the hero punches someone so hard it blows up a mountain, it isn't to long before everyone is hitting everyone so hard that they always go blow up a mountain. Season finale the hero gets hit so hard hero blows up two mountains. Next season premier, hero gets back with some new power that let's him hit the villain so hard, it blows up 3 mountains.
Every story just degenerates into Dragonball Z. Same thing happened to the Matrix movies. In which case, I'll just pirate the Manga and admire the work of the master, Akira Toriyama
