Spoilers The Mandalorian Season 3
- Thread starter JD

That and Skywalker Sound; complete with it's 47 year back catalogue of authentic Star Wars sound effect and foley! I often feel like the non-musical audio component doesn't get as much credit as it should. Understandable since visuals will always be the attention getters.

Oh yeah, there are a lot of Star Wars sound effects that are, at least to me, just as I iconic as any of the visuals or the score. I mean come one, everybody knows the lightsaber sound, and Vader breathing has to be another one of the most recognizable sounds in movie history.
Finally got around to season 3. Way better that season 2 which too often just felt like an advert for spinoffs.
This one again at times became too much about characters from cartoons I don't care about but was at least driven by an interesting plot.

To show there are still imperial loyalists in the Republic, probably.
World building.
That the Republic is not completely healed from the Civil War.
What Tuskin and Fireproof said, plus it was filler.
There wasn't much going on this season. I recently watched a fanedit that took S3 and edited it down to a 3 hr and 20 minute movie. Cut out all the extraneous fat- it was actually pretty good, and the Dr. Persching (sp?) story was fully cut out of it, although the Imp agent made her appearance when she phoned in to Moff Gideon from Coruscant.

Always fun
How does getting Pershing mind flayed benefit the Empire?
As far as I could see, it didn't. Lot of weakness in S3. It's obvious that they did not originally intend for Grogu to return after S2, but he became so popular so fast that the decision must have been made to write him back in.
Best I can figure (and this is speculation on my part, obviously), is that they were burying the potential that he might have worked out who/what they were actually trying to clone, and making sure he could never share that info with the Republic. Because I expect even the most war-weary members of the Republic would shift their stance on the Imperial Remnants if they knew one of them was trying to resurrect Palpatine.
We watched very different shows. I never doubted for one solitary second that Grogu would be back in S3, and quickly. Even I didn't see quite how quickly coming, I'll grant you. But they'd built the Din/Grogu relationship as the primary arc of the show. There was absolutely zero chance they were ever going to chuck it to the curb.
Gideon was covering his tracks. This is addressed in S3E7 dialogue.
This. Grogu not being in S3 is madness.
Palpatine is already in a clone body by that point, given that it's at least 5-7 years after ROTJ.
Yeah, unfortunately they leaned in to the predictable.
But the Mandalorian exploration and Gideon made up for it.
He stops betraying them and giving his secrets to the enemy.
No, it was always planned for him to come back.
I guess Gideon's group wanted to see where Pershing's loyalty was, and if he was willing to share his knowledge with the New Republic. If he was still a loyal Imperial they probably would have got him out. But he was just in it for his work, thus Pershing need to be silenced to cover Gideon's project.
However it also seems like a secondary concern was to cover up Gideon's project from the rest of the Shadow Council. Force sensitive clone dark troopers could be a power play move against Hux and Pelleon.

Gideon seemed to have his own play going, and less concerned with the Shadow Council's wishes.
Gideon clearly wanted to be what we got in the Sequel Trilogy with a resurrected zombie Palpatine and Snoke puppet.
It was pretty obvious early on that Gideon was trying to obtain Force sensitivity either for himself or an army of others, but then the question becomes: who was going to train him to use it once he could feel it? Or was he going to be another 'magic Jedi' in that he could just spontaneously do everything Jedi could do with the Force?
