	In contrast to the first two seasons, which were widely adored, Season 3 was more...divisive.

Also how, despite The Book of Boba Fett earlier establishing Din struggling to learn how to use the Darksaber properly, Season 3 has Bo-Katan get it back followed by it being destroyed, which means the set-up plot of Din learning how to master it was completely tossed out of the window.

	A lot of the wheel spinning seems to be stories that had originally been meant for the now-shelved Rangers of the New Republic series getting transferred to The Mandalorian. This includes pretty much everything involving Nevarro and the New Republic, meaning most of first, third and fifth episodes. Combined with the very weak sixth episode (AKA the cameo episode), ''it means half the season was filler''. This left a limited runtime to what the season actually set out to accomplish, resulting in a storyline where very big and important things happen, but it sure doesn't feel like that. Taking back Mandalore should be a big thing, but the main obstacle only arises in the second-to-last episode. The unification of the Mandalorian factions means bridging a huge cultural gap, but their differences are never really addressed. The Imperials are copycat-Mandalorians the united people must drive out, which makes thematic sense, but it never goes beyond an aesthetic and better armor. The Darksaber is destroyed, but how Bo Katan became a leader in her own right who doesn't need it any more is never shown. In short, while the season does accomplish what is set up for it, it only seems to do the bare necessary minimum of setup-twist-payoff- structure to make room for more filler.

	Again, the last two episodes helped turn things around a bit (especially compared to the ~~very weak~~ sixth episode), but overall, Season 3 just didn't cut it for a lot of folks compared to the first two.
