    They made a complete hoor of that tbh.

    Casual fans who only watch Mando to see Grogu will be wondering what the * happened between the last ep of Mando S2 and start of Mando S3.

    Huge story arc just dumped in a random episode of a different show. Weird.

    Aye it was a strange decision. I actually can’t remember which bits were in which series.

    Watch the last 10 mins of S2 and the first 10 mins of S3.

    It's baffling if you remove what happened in Boba Fett. Arrogant to assume everyone will watch everything no matter the show.

    See the other thing, I quite liked Boba Fett but I can see why many would switch off from it early on because it is paced quite differently, with the early desert stuff.

    There must've been more than a few casual watchers that would've been annoyed by that.

    While we're here, Andor was really good @Moore if you've not seen that yet although it's set before the original trilogy instead of after.

    You are doing Andor a disservice there. It is the best Star Wars content I've seen since Rogue One funnily enough. Can't wait for the new season.

    that’s exactly what Disney want though isn’t it, to get maximum viewers onto other products they’ve done. Many of those casual viewers who will then know there’s a crossover; will go watch it for that.

    but also at this point surely anyone who likes any part of Star Wars likes the whole Star Wars universe! Haha the story of how boba fett got out of that pit I actually found to be one of my favourite few episodes of any of the spin offs personally. Mandolorian I feel can be a bit too tame at times whereas boba fett seemed to add that little grit

    Cameos in each others shows. Yes all day every day but that was a major Mandalorian story arc aired on another show.

    People who switched off Boba (wouldn't have been hard after a couple episodes) or casual fans who just loved Grogu would have had no idea who Boba Fett was, would have have no idea what happened between Mando S2 and Mando S3.

    Just about to start Season 3, Finished Boba Fett. Episodes 5 & 6 of Boba Fett were basically Mando Season 2.5.

    Not knocking it though once I get into a series I will watch any other series I need to within the arc whether I like them or not. Think there taking a leaf out the marvel book by having multiple series all intertwining. i.e. Daredevil, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones & Luke Cage.

    Still think Boba Fett was decent though, seen a lot of hate for it online.

    Bit confused at the start with Grogo, what happened there?

    But as for that loving it the season, only about 3 to go.

    If you are still confused about Grogu you need to watch The Book of Boba Fett. Last 2 episodes especially.

    For some reason they decided to drop a major Mandalorian story arc in another show.

    That was in Mandalorian. I think.

    Boba Fett had Din go looking for him and Grogu chose the beskar armour over the light sabre(?).

    Might need to watch again myself haha.
