> I received no real idea where the series was going, what the overarching plot was, or why I should care

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.
