>>10327039>filler episodesI am honestly tired of hearing people explain away episodes they didn't like with this phrase. I am all for honest criticism but that phrase has lost all meaning at this point because of online discourse. For the record, that wasn't my favorite episode (the newest Bad Batch episode), but it was hardly horrible. Clone War season 7 episodes with Ahsoka and the sisters were far worse and that was a whole damn arc.
I might also be in the minority, but I really loved the newest episode of Mando. It did a lot of great world building for the era, but it also seems to be laying the groundwork or seeds for the events in the ST. I am still crossing my fingers for a big Mano-verse cross over event before the ST shit hits the fan.
On a side note, I think the events in the Bad Batch season 2 are going to tease or connect to Mando. I know it seems obvious at this point, but I do think its smart idea for marketing and a nice payoff for fans that watch everything. Disney doesn’t have the greatest track record for things connecting or paying off in the current Star Wars lore.
