Wow so, The Mandalorian is certainly good but not fantastic

Maybe I just have a lizard brain but I think the show is a fantastic time. I don't even necessarily disagree with your points.

My takeaway after recently binging it was that it was consistently solid Star Wars comfort food. Very few episodes stood out, but I also didn't think any were bad.

It doesn't try to rock the boat like TLJ did, nor are the stakes all that high like the other films. It's just a dude in cool armor and his cute puppet companion going around backwater planets doing side quests.

Ultimately I did start to grow tired of the formula by the end of season 2, and once they started to focus more on callbacks and legacy characters it was clear they're trying to set it up for a MCU kind of direction.

I quite enjoyed it, but I it barely reaches those "good" heights. It's not consistently excellent or good, and I think for me, that boils down to the lead and the filler/fetch-quest nature of the first few episodes of each seaosn.

Same. I'm sure that if I tried I'd stop enjoying the show, but it's a good time and I enjoy it a lot so I'm content with my lizard brain.

It may not have much depth but I think it's a really fun show

 

[Falchion]

Yeah I agree with most of those points. The Stormtroopers seem especially incompetent in this show.

The writing lets it down badly at times but as a whole it's a show I've seriously enjoyed watching. So... I'll happily call it a win personally.

It's a fine show if you ignore some of the worst acting out of the entire franchise, prequels included. And not just in one or two episodes, it's pervasively bad.

And I know Star Wars has never been the paragon of stellar acting, but Mandalorian is like middle school theater bad.

The only time I have seen storm troopers be deadly was during order 66

In general the clones were extremely efficient killers and very organized. Afterwards when they start recruiting just regular Joe's is when the Empire Stormtroopers turn into dumbasses.

I mean, I laid out some criticisms. Feel free to counter them.

you're 100 percent right on all those points. its like a popcorn flick in show format.

 

[Shoreu]

You're not wrong. But it's kept me more engaged and entertained than all of the sequel trilogy.

This can be discussed in the OT.
