The Mandalorian season three

That ending. My heart. Ugh.

I am a sucker for stories where people come together to fight for the things that matter to them. So while the first half of the season didn't get to me, the last four episodes just shot through me with everything they had.

So, basic storyline: Reunited again, Din Djarin and Grogu are on a mission to redeem Djarin after he took off his helmet in season two. In doing so, he also guides Lady Bo-Katan to her own 'redemption', and inspires her to unite the tribes and retake the assumed-destroyed world of Mandalore. Along the way, Moff Gideon also returns, combining the Mandalorian Beskar armour with jedi powers (remember, technically it's biology, not magic) and cloning technology to create super soldiers in his own image to restore the Empire.

Mostly, the season is about the restoration of the Mandalorians as a united force, drumming in the message it's been playing with the whole series and the book of boba fett about people being stronger together.

Bo-Katan doesn't quite pull off the message drop when she says it, but I appreciate the intent.

I have read that apparently the season isn't considered the best, and I get that. The first half was just okay, as it put Djarin through his many humiliations to remind us Bo-Katan is worthy of her throne and the sword he accidentally claimed, set up the plot and stakes of everything. There was an entire episode devoted to world building for the New Republic, which--if I gave a damn about the broader canon--I would have been right into except that I do not care about the broader canon and so it mostly was an hour spent reminding me a slimy character exists and continues to be slimy.

But then Din Djarin and Grogu were allowed to return to the covert and the Mandalorians began their rise and I was absolutely locked in.

I don't really care too much about Bo-Katan, but I appreciate the theme of a lady and her knight, and I am a big fan of seeing someone remember their values and fight for them. To see the Children of the Watch come together to rescue a foundling, reminding Bo-Katan of who the Mandalorians are and can be, and then her gathering the tribes, and even Djarin's pledge of fealty... and Pax's sacrifice, fighting to the end so everyone else can escape...

This is the Way, indeed.

I also really liked how the series showcased each of the main characters' talents. Djarin is an ace pilot, solid warrior, and skilled diplomat (when he wants to be), which makes him the perfect bounty hunter and forward guard for the Mandalorians. Bo-Katan is a leader and strategist, but struggles on her own because she was destined to be alongside others. Grogu is still young, but he is going to be a strong barrier warrior, able to protect and guide those he fights alongside. I won't be surprised if he grows up to learn from the Armourers one day.

And the Armourer remains the absolute best I still adore her every moment on screen.

And the ending! The adventure continues, but now we have a place to rest and be with our tribe between tasks. The samurai-cowboy can sit on his porch and watch his son grow.

It was good. It was a good show. I liked it, and I cannot wait to see the next adventure.
