For very good reason, it seems the investor day stuff has greatly overshadowed any talk of the recent Mando episode.
Can I just say that I loved this episode oh so much? This has been a great season. However, you can drop Ahsoka into a mediocre episode and it will be great because she's there. You can drop Boba into a mediocre episode and it'll be great cause he's there. Luckily, they didn't do this, but having those huge moments makes it a little easier. But this last episode had no big reveals. No Ahsoka or new Jedi. A little Boba Fett, but not a ton. Hell, not even any Grogu. And yet what we got was such a well written episode that it really needed to work harder because it lacked any of the things that naturally elevate it without effort.
I did not see Mando maskless coming. I am not a huge Bill Burr fan, but that one Tarantino scene in the mess hell was one of the best scenes of the whole show. Nothing flashy, nothing huge, nothing that makes hard core fans say "HOLY CRAP I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY DID THAT". Just three characters have a fantastic scene with amazing dialogue and acting.
Yea, I thought the last episode was among the best and I'm both excited and sad to see the last episode this week.
