I am pretty mixed on the finale. Like in many ways it did not make me feel better about how the season went. Many decently illogical choices that you guys have already been touching on. However, it gave the show a clean slate. And I think that is for the best. Many were speculating about the New Republic showing up, Ashoka, Thrawn, the spy etc. But in the end, we wrapped up the whole story. And set up the next season to get back to the gunslinger western that the show started as.

And to me, that's a great thing. Because when you think about season 1 and all the enthusiasm it generated, that is what the show was. Sure there was the overarching story of Grogu, but each week was just a side quest. That is what worked for this show and started to remove some of the sour taste from fans mouths after the ST went so sideways.

I'm a decently casual fan. I just stick to the movies and D+ shows. I see all you guys talk about animated shows and comics, but don't have any interest in them. So what I loved about season 1 was it gave us entirely new characters in the GFFA. But then we got pulled into the fan service stuff and tieing it into the greater events. We had to have the Luke cameo, the Boba Fett tie in, the Ashoka tie in, etc. While an immense amoun of world building has went on even through these tie ins, I think the show can be even stronger if it gets back out on its own. And I hope that is the reasoning for why they just kept it simple in the finale.
