The season three finale of The Mandalorian has finally dropped, leaving some fans “crying” and others saying that it felt “too rushed”. The hit Disney+ series set in the Star Wars universe follows the adventures of bounty hunter Din Djarin as he traverses a galaxy far, far away with his little green friend Grogu – AKA Baby Yoda.
In this week’s episode – Chapter 24: The Return – Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), Grogu, Bo-Katan (Katee Sackhoff) and the entire Mandalorian tribe go up against the Imperial remnants led by Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito). After a tense battle in the depths of Mandalore, Gideon and his Beskar-enhanced Stormtroopers were defeated, with Grogu – AKA Baby Yoda – saving the day with the Force.
After the battle, the Mandalorians reignited the Great Forge at the heart of the planet. The episode then wrapped up with some emotional scenes, in which Grogu – too young to become a Mandalorian apprentice – was formally adopted by Din, officially making the little green critter his child.

The pair then retired to their new homestead on the planet Nevarro, with the final shot showing father and son living in peace as Grogu used the Force to play with a frog while Din watches over him. The finale offered plenty of stylish action, including well-choreographed fight scenes, swordplay and some Force action.
It also had plenty of tension, emotion, Grogu-centred comedy, and – for once – a happy ending. Reactions to season three of The Mandalorian have generally been mixed, but the final two episodes have been more positively received.

EXCLUSIVE: “I’ve always boiled it down to there’s something very simplistic to Mason,” Perry Mason star Matthew Rhys admits about the iconic and haunted lawyer he portrays on the HBO prequel series. “It’s not necessarily his sense of justice but sense of right and wrong,” the Emmy winner adds. “What is right and wrong, and how he goes about righting that, righting that wrong, is, at times, very questionable. But fundamentally, his sense of pure form justice is so strong that everything else becomes very difficult, and the playing of that was just magic.”

Guy Lodge Film Critic “Carmen” didn’t begin life as an opera: French Romantic writer Prosper Mérimée conceived this tale of Spanish passion and tragic jealousy in 1845, thirty years before his compatriot Georges Bizet brought it into its best-known, aria-rich form. But it’s a story that thrives on operatic delivery, hinging on emotions so large and loud they beg to be sung at the top of one’s lungs. That makes it the opera that filmmakers can’t leave alone, even as they tend to switch out the music: Its screen interpretations range from Otto Preminger’s Broadway-rooted “Carmen Jones” to Jean-Luc Godard’s daring, Beethoven-infused “First Name: Carmen” to Robert Townsend’s Beyoncé-starring “Carmen: A Hip-Hopera.” With the plainly titled “Carmen,” ballet star and first-time feature director Benjamin Millepied joins that club, mostly eschewing song in an attempt to conjure the material’s intensity through dance. He is only intermittently successful.

Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer SPOILER ALERT: This story discusses major plot points in the Season 3 finale of “The Mandalorian,” currently streaming on Disney+. It took all eight episodes of Season 3 for “The Mandalorian” to find its way back to itself, which is to say, back to Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and his (now officially!) adopted child, Grogu. For most of Season 3, the core relationship of the series — the reason why “The Mandalorian” became an instant global phenomenon — was shunted aside in favor of tracking how Katee Sackhoff’s Bo-Katan Kryze rallied the estranged factions of Mandalorians to take back their devastated homeworld. Audiences have not responded kindly. Legions of reviews, tweets and YouTube videos vivisected this season of “The Mandalorian” for being “detached,” “unsatisfying,” “sloppy” and “the worst.” What had been a loose and uncomplicated story of Din and Grogu’s ongoing adventures had become instead a sprawling narrative steeped in Mandalorian lore that was brand new (and, even worse, uninteresting) to most people watching. An ironic strength of the show — audiences projecting themselves into Din’s helmet in the absence of Pascal’s deeply expressive face — became a major liability, with episodes in which dozens of helmeted Mandalorians talked to each other in a dry, monosyllabic monotones, with nary a human face to be seen.
