The Mandalorian (Season 3)

The beloved saga continues! Picking up where season 2 left off, Din Djarin and Grogu have various adventures as they seek to (first) return Din to the Mandalorian ranks (by bathing in the waters beneath Mandalore) and (second) assist Bo-Katan and the Mandalorian remnants as they re-take their homeworld. But Imperial fragments, led by Moff Gideon, won't go down without a fight . . . and have a few surprises in store. 

I think the series continues to be solid, though one story in particular in this 8-episode arc was overlong and largely irrelevant. The others were decent, moving Din and Grogu's story forward and greatly expanding Bo-Katan's role. I enjoy seeing the "post-Return of the Jedi" state of the galaxy. I'm told season 4 has already been written, and I can't help but wonder, based on the emphasis this time, if they will adjust the show's name to The Mandalorians.
