He is now in his mid 80s, and has been active in the industry since the 1960s I believe. Quite an accomplished career he’s had over many decades and thought he looked and performed great in this episode.

Problem is a) he was always a bit older looking, and b) in his biggest role, he was aged up 30 years as the 80s version of Doc Brown.
 
Loved the last two episodes, I found them to be incredibly epic, movie scale in execution and scale. The way the battles continued to escalate, and also, I liked how elements of them felt like a video game unfolding, pure cheese but a lot of fun. I'd happily watch those episodes as one long one. Great musical scoring too.

The action scenes were very good. Other parts were Star Wars cheesiness. For me, Andor set the bar higher but I can appreciate how some people like the cheese.

Like the main protagonist, Din, not being killed after being captured by the evil guy. Then escaping from being escorted by two guards. Exactly the same as what happened with Obi-Wan in episode 5 of that show.

Like Gideon tracking Din and Grogu with the big red dot and small green dot LOL.

After being informed of the escape of Din/Obi, Gideon/Vader say almost the same thing "I'll take care of him myself." But Gideon doesn't go after Din and Grogu himself. Or with his dozens of stormtroopers who have Mandalorian style powers, or the praetorian guards. He seemed to wait for them to come to him. Unless they are going with that it was it a clone of Gideon that we saw engulfed by fire and he faked his own death?

The kid Ragnar Vizsla is made a full Mandalorian but no mention of his dad, Paz, who died a hero?
 
I'd go as far to say the action scenes in the finale were the best of Star Wars TV so far, which is kinda a low bar.

It was great to see the Mandalorians fighting like Mandalorians, I complained about an earlier episode where they fought like normal real soldiers, in the last few they were back to jumping and using gadgets and jetpacks, etc.

I really loved the first two seasons but had issues with this season. Not sure if that makes me a 'hater' or 'nit picker'.

Really? I hadn't noticed
 
Certainly didn't hit the heights of season 1 and 2. Seemed like it had a different tone and feel to it, like it was written by different people (maybe it was). A few glaring inconsistency issues (like jetpacks etc).
Still didn't mind it and it probably suffered from backing up Andor which set a high bar.

What are the inconsistencies with the jet packs?

They suddenly got bigger fuel tanks from when they could not chase the thing that took the kid in an earlier episode.

How were they bigger fuel tanks?
People are adding their own context to these things and it seems most just want to look for the easiest (negative) context that allows for it to be crapped on.

It appears that the dragon's nest was quite far from the Mando camp, and that's assuming that when they first tried to chase it, that it took them in a straight route to the nest before they had to abort.
It could have been 100s of km away.

Then there's the fact that we have no idea how far up the Mandos had to fly to get to the ships in orbit above Mandalore. Add to that the fact that we have no idea on the differences in gravity between both planets that could potentially make flight harder on one of them.

Why not look for ways that it COULD work? It's only an inconsistency if you want it to be one.

It's like the complaints (or lack of, depending on the character) about how long Luke trained with Yoda, or how long Rey trained with Luke, or how long Grogu trained with Luke.
 
Comparing horizontal distance to vertical distance with no context doesn't mean the show made a mistake.

Also, now to do fan fiction, comparing old Mando tribe tech, to Bo's Mando's tech, which they seemed a lot better resourced.

I agree. For all we know, that Dragon's nest was over 100 kilometers away from the cave, so they ran out of fuel. Whereas the ship in orbit was maybe 40-50 kilometers up, they mightn't run out of fuel going to it. He probably had to refuel once he was on the ship though.

There's plenty of ways it can make sense but from a storytelling perspective it's definitely odd to make "not having enough fuel to fly very far" an important plot point in an episode and then 4 episodes later have a dramatic scene with a character using a jet pack to fly far and not building in any drama / explanation / whatever and just having that character reach the destination no worries. Like even having Axe say "I don't know if I'm going to have the fuel to make it" at least adds a bit of logical suspense to the scene, even if he does just end up making it in then end.

It's not a big issue but it is a tiny example of some pretty bland or worse writing going on in the series.
 
Agree with Jdeezy, for those saying we should be coming up with reasons why it works, how about the show not deliberately make it an issue a few episodes earlier for no particular reason?
 
Like that spaceship i think it was apollo 13 using gravity assist, maybe Axe upon exit of the planets atmosphere use GA to save on fuel.

The Mandalorian Has One Glaring Inconsistency

The Mandalorian has had some incredible jetpack action, but it has also created a huge inconsistency within The Mandalorian and Star Wars universe.
