*Warning: This contains spoilers for The Mandalorian season 3 episode 8*
fans have panned season 3 episode 8 of the Stars Wars spin-off, branding it ‘lackluster.’
The Plus juggernaut released the much-anticipated series finale of the drama, which stars actor , on Tuesday.
But despite the sci-fi drama’s hype, viewers were left ‘disappointment’ by the conclusion, complaining it too neatly tied up several storylines.
In the episode, titled Chapter 24: The Return, order was restored for the Mandalorian people after Din Djarin (Pascal) and Bo Katan (Katee Sackhoff) finally defeated villain Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) and reclaimed 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.’
However, several viewers did praise the ending with one commenting 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.’
Fortunately for The Mandalorian fans, a fourth season of the blockbuster drama is currently in development.
Co-showrunner Jon Favreau admitted during a recent interview that he’d already set to work on it, telling French television station : ‘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.
