They do tell a complete story with a few tie-ins for future stories. They form a complete arc from when Din first meets Grogu to when he hands him over to Luke.I think part of the issue with season 3 was that they couldn't bare to remove Grogu from the equation (and they also didn't want to risk having him be killed by Kylo Ren), so they had to have him come back to Din, and it only kind of worked. As fun as it was seeing Din, Bo-Katan, and Grogu playing happy families, I'm not sure it was worth it. I think I would have preferred it if Grogu had stayed with Luke and Bo-Katan had gotten her own spin-off series about the reclaiming of Mandalore, rather than having her slowly and subtly take over as the titular Mandalorian. But whatevs. The cat's out of the bag on that one. (I think my biggest beefs with season 3 were pacing/editing and bad writing [e.g. combat-trained soldiers employing idiotic tactics].)Yeah, but even the combat scenes were kinda slow ... I wish you could speed up Disney+ shows. I think Ahsoka would probably be improved by watching it on 1.5x speed.I think the whole show, all four seasons, is some of the best Star Wars out there. And the pacing is tight all the way through because it was primarily targeted at kids with short attention spans. I feel like Ahsoka was targeted at middle aged people with creaky backs. (Reminds me of the newer Crowded House albums. You can tell they were getting old because the songs were slower and milder and softer and yeah ...)Meh. I never read the old Thrawn novels. I've only been waiting for Thrawn's return since Rebels ended. And this was just the prologue to his return. It felt too easy in a way. Finding and rescuing Ezra felt a little too easy as well. And Sabine and Ezra are still separated! A pair of star-crossed (not quite) lovers if ever there were any.</blockquote>
