Spoilers The Mandalorian Season 3

Who said anything about race? Did I not specifically use the word ethnicity just five posts previous? I really can't help you if you refuse to learn how to read.
I think my first clue was the part where he squeezed him and didn't put him in his mouth. Usually he puts things he's eating in his mouth.
I'm just going to assume that assemblage of random words you somehow typed on purpose is just you having a minor stroke, and move on.
It's not trying to be Andor. This is the fun, pulpy, adventurous end of Star Wars. There's plenty of room for both.
Also what do people really expect from a first episode of the season? I swear it's as if people show up to an opera and loudly complain that the overture wasn't as exciting as the previous one's crescendo. Or that the first chapter as a book didn't have as satisfying a conclusion as the last.
It's called "structure" folks. There are peaks and valleys on purpose. It's not an oversight. Stories should not be flat, even plains of bland noise.
Pffft! Next thing you'll be telling me is that they don't have exactly the same subject matter, tone, target audience or aesthetic sensibilities!
It's supposed to be special?
Seriously? How is that a qualifier?
Speak for yourself. I for one would love a slow reading at the same tempo of every single act. No emphasis whatsoever on specific parts.
+1.
I thought the same thing too. The colours of the helmet looked different but then I thought it was his first helmet. He'll outgrow it, and he'll eventually get the one more familiar when he grows.
And then Din showed up.
And in those 30 odd mins we got a Mandalorian Creed initiation ceremony, a giant crocodile-turtle fight, three planets, two page droids, a killer robot zombie, a dad joke, a whole room full of surly muppets, actual space pirates that say "avast!" and everything, a "slasher movie but with spaceships" dogfight (the most interesting and unique of the franchise since AotC), Swamp Thing, a castle and a Bo Katan. That's a DENSE half hour premier, which while it went by fast, didn't feel rushed.

This was a great start to the season.
Glad to know I wasn't the only one who thought the opening was a flashback at first.
The stuff with the pirates was pretty cool. I'm assuming they're setting Shard up to be a new recurring bad guy.
IG-11 being such a big part of the premiere was a surprise.
Babu Frick was one of my favorite parts of Rise of Skywalker, so I got a kick out of seeing more Anzellans.

Actually. You did.
This is QUITE different than when you wrote about ethnicity.
What I was trying to say was that it was a VERY long time since I saw the episodes with Din as a kid. So I don't really remember that particular actor (as opposed to Young Leia). And I recall it was when he was first found. This scene I (and others, apparently) thought this was a couple ofnyears after that, after Din had enough training to be initiated. So I assumed a different actor. That's why we were confused
Purgill!! Woo hoo!!!
Good start.. Criminally short episode.. Owell.

But the show has never mentioned the reason this was done.
Do the Imperials need a reason?
To eliminate the armed and fanatical Mandalorians as a potential threat to Imperial domination. That's basically all the reason Palpatine and his military needed, to remove a possible challenge to the Empire from the equation by turning their homeworld into nuked glass.
We eliminate threats.
You are a threat.
You are a threat.
And during the Clone Wars it was proven on many occasions that the Mandalorians could be a thorn in the side of the eventual winner of the conflict. A world of such well-armed and -trained warriors could not be permitted to last very long once the Galactic Empire had managed to secure control over the galaxy.

This, and in true Imperial fashion, they'll use heavy handed tactics because it's all fascists know how to do.
Anyway, solid episode, great start to a season!
Rather fittingly, today Din and Grogu started making appearances at Walt Disney World. With predictable results.
I predict tomorrow, at least a third of the guests will be coming up to them with Babu Frik toys.

Gee, I wonder why a militaristic totalitarian Empire would go ever out of it's way to do a genocide on a planet renowned for producing soldiers who's legendarily effectiveness in battle is matched only by their fractiousness, all in the midst of a galaxy-wide rebellion. That's a real head scratcher. They really ought to spoon feed that explanation to the audience very slowly, making sure not to use big any words that'll confuse them.
Enjoyed it.
It wasn't up to the standards of the end of S2, but that's a pretty high bar. This was a decent enough start.
This is the Way!

Was this the first we've seen the Purgill in live action(ish)?
