*Warning: This contains spoilers for The Mandalorian season 3 episode 8*
Fans of the Star Wars spinoff The Mandalorian have criticised episode 8 of season 3 as being “lacklustre.”
The thriller, which features The Last of Us actor Pedro Pascal, had its much anticipated season finale on Disney Plus on Tuesday.
Despite the buzz surrounding the sci-fi drama, fans complained that the climax too cleanly wrapped up a number of plotlines and left them feeling “disappointed.”
In the episode, titled Chapter 24: The Return, Din Djarin (Pascal) and Bo Katan (Katee Sackhoff) eventually overcame the evil Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) and took back Mandalore.
Fans took to Twitter to share their frustration over the instalment, with one penning: ‘Ngl #TheMandolarian finale was kinda lackluster imo. Wish we had some direction in what’s next outside of Ashoka.’
‘So the finale of #TheMandolarian was a bit underwhelming, just like the whole season… It’s funny how many theories were around and none of them came to be true…. I still think #TheBookofBobaFett and season 3 should have been one season, without Grogu in it,’ another complained.
A third commented: ‘I have some thoughts on the finale of #TheMandolarian. The length was too short. It seemed rushed and wrapped up too nicely. A major season plot point (the Mythosaur) was criminally suppressed. Why introduce us to it when all it does is blink its eye? Wasted storytelling.’
Nevertheless, a number of viewers praised the conclusion, with one saying it was “nothing I expected but I loved it.”
Echoing their sentiment, a fellow Twitter user added: ‘Great finale and a good way to begin a new path in the story. #TheMandolarian.’
The fourth season of the popular drama The Mandalorian is fortunately in the works for fans of the show.
In a recent interview, co-showrunner Jon Favreau acknowledged that he had already started writing it, telling the French television channel BFMTV: “Season four, yeah, I’ve written it already.”
The Iron Man star continued: ‘We have to know where we’re going to tell a fully formed story. We had mapped it out, Dave [Filoni] and I, and then slowly you start to write each episode.’
The Mandalorian is available to stream on Disney Plus.
