The Mandalorian was initially meant to be a side series for fans. It was lower budget, practical effects, and little to no core characters from the main franchise. Unfortunately, basically every other Star Wars IP fell flat on its face since then, so by default, The Mandalorian is now the flagship Star Wars storyline. The movie was good as a nice side story for fans, it was bad as a franchise-running blockbuster. It’s really amazing how many bad decisions Disney had to make to end up here.

The way the Boba Fett series flopped and tried, repeatedly, to draft on the Mandalorian’s success within 1 session…ooofda.
