I watched the first three or four episodes and just have very little desire to finish watching. I received no real idea where the series was going, what the overarching plot was, or why I should care. Grogu has no real role anymore, and his presence is becoming sort of weird. And was the Krait Dragon episode really popular enough that we need a constant barrage of monster attacks now?

The show is still beautiful, acting is good. It just sort of lost its way at some point. And yes, as others point out, coming out after Andor is a hard act to follow.

That's why I think that he truly was written out and then was forced back in after some focus testing/producer meddling.

This is the way. The episode with the lowest rating this season is the one which does not feature this green rubber chihuahua.

Kathleen Kennedy meddling. That’s the 800 pound elephant in the room

I've been asking that question about Mandalore and their culture for like a decade now.

Especially where we are now. I don't understand why we should care about Mandalorians re-uniting to take back their broken, deserted homeworld.

I was feeling the same way, but honestly the show is back on track after yesterday's episode.

I really don’t get this take and there are several people saying this in the thread.

By a) bringing Bo Katan back in to the fold as a regular and b) actually going to mandalore, is it not incredibly obvious that the series is going to now focus on retaking mandalore?

That’s been explicitly laid out now at the end of this weeks episode, but blind Freddy could see that was going to be the case in episode 1.
