Season 3 took too long to establish its overarching plot. It felt lost and pointless for a bit. I get that they're going for episodic storytelling moreso than serialized, but there still needs to be some major plot grounding from the outset instead of like 5 episodes into an 8 ep season. Right? This isn't star trek TNG with 30 eps per season, it's a measly ass 8. The plot's gotta get going and fast in a more substantial way with what little content we're given.
Not to mention I didn't watch Book of Boba so was left wondering how grogu ended up with mando again. There's a lot of casual fans watching this show, doing these marvel antics isn't the best approach imo.
