I thought the last episode was pretty silly. Lizzo is an awful actor, and the overall plot and resolution was ridiculous. When Lizzo told Christopher Lloyd he was exiled my brain glitched in cringe. Jack Black was great in his role, though.
I'm far less interested in this series as it goes along. The third episode, which was entirely out of the scope of Mando's circle was the best, IMO. It had that Andor vibe, which after watching (the series) it was hard to come back to the campy style we're seeing with this season and shows like Boba Fett.
I don't dislike the show and I'm not turning it off anytime soon, but I'm not as engaged as I was and it has a lot to do with what feels like a drop in quality.

I'm far less interested in Star Wars as a whole these days.
I friggin' love Star Wars, but there's very little heart in any of what they do anymore. None of these stories are particularly good, and if the biggest pay off we get from a series is a somewhat better understanding as to the stupid plot point that was Palpatine's return in whatever garbage movie that was...who cares?
The aesthetic is all wrong. That did not look or feel like Star Wars to me. We’re doing celebrity cameos now? It’s hard to put a finger on exactly what’s wrong with this show right now other than the whole aesthetic just feels slightly off.
This show has really lost its way. This season has been an unmitigated disaster, although I suppose I should have seen this coming after Book of Boba Fett.

The latest episode felt very much like an episode of clone wars or rebels. I think if you were a fan of those shows and know much of what happened in those shows, you would like it. But I think it is harder for a casual fan that didn't watch those shoes to like this episode.
The Lizzo cameo was bad. Don't know why they are giving such bad acting skills a cameo on a high profile show like this. Oh and the cheesiness of knighting Grogu for just being a cute baby was over the top.

Idk, I loved Clone Wars and Rebels and thought this episode was over the top stupid. I don’t consider myself a casual fan, I’ve seen everything and read a lot of the books (both new and old).

I thought she was in character for a nutty rich person.

Yeah, I don't think she was any worse than the upper class twits we saw at the Opera House on Coruscant a couple episodes ago, or a lot of the folks Mon Mothma was interacting with on Andor.

The older I get it seems I care less and less about little things that seem to really bother other people.
I guess getting old isn't so bad.

i think the studio heads creatively hamstrung favreau to the point where there is no way for him to continue the story he wanted to tell and now hes just in pure "####-it" mode. I was waiting to see how this season went before watching and its a hard pass now.

If Lizzo had the same number of lines as the opera people and similarly was not the focus of the scene, she would have been fine.
I think BDH’s directing prowess was wasted a bit with the script this week, but the world building is great with the dome city. Star Wars needs more unique locations that are not desert or ecumenopolis. The ring station from Boba Fett is another that sticks out for the right reasons.
I have heard the term of 'Lizzo' but I genuinely thought people were slanging the name 'Elizabeth' in reference to someone else and just shrugged it off.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
Don't get the hate for this episode. The Lizzo cameo was dumb, but some of the other stuff was great. What makes this show good is the portrayal of random day to day scenes in the star wars universe. I thought this episode did a great job of that. This show has always had a side quest component. It's set up as a wandering western. It's supposed to mimic Western shows where the protagonist would go from town to town clearing out messes.
