... The once gleamingly exciting Mandalorian is in danger of losing its shine.

Rated: 3/5

Rolling Stone

It’s functional and little more, and illustrates yet another reason the whole Book of Boba thing was silly. By offloading the emotional reunion onto another show, The Mandalorian found itself with a much less exciting way to begin its own new season.

Serving up a pretty slick space battle but lacking any real urgency

Rated: C+

Loud and Clear Reviews

Season 3 Episode 1 of The Mandalorian gets the show off to a great start, but it may leave more casual viewers very lost and confused.

A slow start. I hope the writers are not relying on Grogu to pull the weight of the entire season.
