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.

Personally mine was less on fuel and more on;

They did SFA to the helmets to go from no atmo to low atmo.
Din got captured by a choke out after attempted surprise (primarily). The attempt to wake him up was a gas.
Humans cannot be stronger than the force of breaking atmo, so how did Din get choked out by string?

My view on fuel was Quarian in ME, somewhere on the Mando armour they have a tube attached to a pocket that has several fuel cells in there, probably in the boots. Ground crew was chillaxing, except Pax since he likes big guns and looking intimidating, so no extra pockets to hold things. Or leggings to exist in a vacuum.

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.

That whole episode was pretty dumb. It was the second time in four episodes that Ragnar was attacked by a giant creature. His Dad, Paz, said to follow the raptor to its lair. Then said after they run out of fuel, says "it always gets away." There's a bunch of helmets in the nest as though it had happened many times before. Why hadn't the Mandalorians already tracked it down and killed it? Perhaps a bigger jetpack fuel tank might be in order. Or a fuel stop on the way to this repeated killer beast's nest.

Then after hiking there they still don't use their jetpacks. They camp out for the night instead of immediately rescuing the kid. Wasn't he likely to be eaten by the raptor or its chicks quite quickly? There was no pay off after they brought the chicks back in the spaceship.

I think I've finally found my fundamental problem with the last two seasons. Favreau, Filoni and co seem to think that if one Mandalorian is cool, two must be cooler, 10 even cooler, 100 the coolest. But it's not the case. Boba Fett was cool in part because he came across as a loner, a badass and unique. The more Mandalorians you add, the less unique and cool they become until they look like stormtroopers (or in the case of the finale, Iron Man's many suits).

Anyways, binged the last three episodes after the returning from holiday. The one with Jack Black and Lizzo was pretty terrible and felt like a panto, the final two episodes has some good moments, some ridiculous ones, not terrible but not enough to overcome what's been a pretty underwhelming season. I like two of the three aspects of the final confrontation (the fight with Moff Gideon and the fight to save Grogu) but thought the flying Iron Men Mandos was silly. Nothing as silly as the cruiser crashing into the base in slow motion, so multiple things can happen, rather than what would be an instantaneous explosion give the speed of these things.

What's funny is I've always said it would have been a better show if it was just Din and Grogu going on adventures, while having occasional overarching stories and insight into the galaxy at large. And it looks like the next season might try that with Din and Grogu hunting Imperials. They really should have skipped from season 1 to season 4.

I think in terms of mando x coolness, it would be represented like this

S2 originally was meant to open and marry with Rangers of Republic, Boba and Ahsoka, one got canned, one is maligned and the other hasn't released yet but say my problem this season was that they just chose the wrong story.

You tried to stab Gideon and instead just beat the shit out of him, you got stuck on a bridge and bailed out by what would be the GM of the New Jedi Order, you are just not topping that, so why are you holding? Why are you delaying? Why are you trying to cram in more side story?

They already introduced Bo, she had an army behind her, Din stayed behind because mission took precedence, USE THEM, instead you entered and she's in a castle having a cry about how she's lonely here's 4 episodes so we can get the band back together then 2 to move them around so we can bring others in and kill some off. Skip from S2 to S4, piss the puppet back off to be the force guy that randomly comes in, move from one fight with Gideon to his 2IC, the ISB, flesh out the Empire remnant have that Mando force crash into what the Empire is doing on Mandalore, have Bo's castle still get bombed for a reason instead of convenience.

So for me this seasons problem was same problem I had with all the Clone War things going around, it's just not a war, not a fight, not a battle, it's a bunch if plot armour people walking from A-B, havign a chat, poking some things, and there's one thing you can do to end it all. LFM dunno how to tell an actual fight.

I think they could condense an entire season into 110 minutes of face paced action over six to eight hours of sweeping shots.

I think S4 is still happening. If I were to guess, it'll build up to some showdown against Thrawn and the movie will be a crossover with Ahsoka's gang and Boba Fett and that sniper woman working together. If Luke, Han, and Leia feature, it'll probably be a small role. Otherwise, it's a huge cast for one film.

Are you familiar with The Avengers? ;)

Personally, I think having Luke, Leia and Han in very small roles in outside stories would be the best way to introduce new actors playing those roles - but they went with CGI.

That's exactly what first came to mind with this, but that's a two parter. Wouldn't put it past Disney to squeeze out two Mando films, they've certainly got a good enough excuse.

Avengers 1 and 2 weren't two parters.

Avengers 3 and 4 whilst a two parter still stood on their own as individual films with huge casts.

It's just a suspicion but I reckon this is part of season 4 turned into a movie in order to hit the May 2026 cinema release date, otherwise it would miss yet another planned date and the narrative of disaster around Star Wars films would continue. With the writer's strike, work on the Rey and New Republic movies couldn't progress, but some Mando scripts may already be in the bank. This suspicion, coupled with the horrendous title and declining quality of the shared universe, doesn't fill me with any confidence.
