The Mandalorian: Chapter 17: The Apostate (2023)
Season 3, Episode 1
8/10
Is Disney starting to run out of ideas for The Mandalorian?
1 March 2023
It's scary how many poor projects Disney has put out in the last couple of years. I was scared that this new season would follow in the other projects' footsteps, but it doesn't. Once Mando's leitmotif starts playing I'm reminded why I love this show so much. Is it not insane how Göransson has created a score that rivals John Williams'?

30 minutes for an episode is way too short. The action scenes are spectacular and the humor is alright but the episode loses a few points due to it being too short. What can we really walk away with after this episode? A few things happen but I wish we got to see more. It's almost like there's not much story to tell so they have to keep making short filler episodes like these to have enough material for an eight-episode-long season.

I don't mind any time we get to spend in this world with these characters, but maybe I expect more from one of the biggest entertainment companies in the world. The usage of Grogu is clever and somewhat cute, but I perhaps wish the show was a tad more serious at times. Still great though.
