It's good to be the king...
I was disappointed with the first episode of Mandalorian season 3.
I usually enjoy this series, but this episode felt a bit aimless. I also feel sorry for those viewers who missed the Boba Fett series - they must be thoroughly confused seeing Mando in a new spaceship with Grogu by his side again.
SPOILERS...
According to the Armorer, the Mandalorians are few in number. I'm not surprised if they hold their initiation ceremony in the intergalactic version of Lake Placid..
I'm glad to see Carl Weathers return as High Magistrate Greef Karga and it feels as if the door might be open one day for Gina Carano as Cara Dune to return. But the pirates insisting in drinking in a former bar-turned-school made no sense, except to set up Mando with new opponents to dispose of. Also Mando resurrecting IG-11 felt more sentimental than logical.
And as for the Anzellans - ugh!

SWCE 2023: Three New Star Wars Movies Announced
Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy confirmed new films from James Mangold, Dave Filoni, and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy.By StarWars.com Team
April 7, 2023
Today during Lucasfilm's Studio Showcase at Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy announced that three new live-action Star Wars films are on the way. Helming the movies are James Mangold (Logan, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny), Dave Filoni (The Mandalorian, Ahsoka), and Academy Award- and Emmy Award-winning director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy (Ms. Marvel, Saving Face).
James Mangold’s movie will go back to the dawn of the Jedi, while Dave Filoni’s will focus on the New Republic, and close out the interconnected stories told in The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, and other Disney+ series. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s film will be set after the events of Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker, and feature Daisy Ridley back as Rey as she builds a new Jedi Order.

You're dodging a bullet there. I watched the first two episodes and they were dodgy at best and the quality nosedived from there. It's almost funny how bad it's gotten. Almost if it wasn't for the fact that they've crapped on pretty much everything that was made before the Acolyte.
To demonstrate, you've got an actor who twice in an interview said Anakin destroyed the Death Star and no one corrected it. Now I accept that could be some form of clever trolling, but I don't see it. This week it has come out that the very same actor saying he didn't think someone like him could play a Jedi (paraphrasing), completely ignoring that shy retiring black guy who played a Jedi in three movies. Mr Samuel L Jackson.
It really looks like they have cast actors/actresses who have never watched anything Star Wars and didn't bother their backsides to do a bit of research after landing the role. Same with the writers, I think they went full Jodie Whittaker Dr Who and hired people who haven't read or seen anything Star Wars either.
Just my quick thoughts on it so far.
Spoiler (from episode three) for anyone who may actually be watching it. Do not read any more if you are and you are not up to date.
And we have the best bit. A group of women only force witches using the force for the immaculate conception of force using twins.
This week too, we have a Jedi from one of the movies who said they hadn't heard from the Sith for thousands of years, involved in the hunt for Sith.
It takes a very special talent to take a theme like "Lesbian space witches", and get Sci-Fi geeks to hate it.You're dodging a bullet there.

Moderators, how do you report for misuse of the English language? Talent isn't the word for what's going on with the Acolyte.
