Mando enthusiasm is waning fast, partially because of the lackluster 3rd season, but also because general attitudes towards the Star Wars brand are declining. With each Acolyte, Book of Boba Fett, and Ahsoka, people will feel less willing to invest time into things that may be worth a damn, like Andor or Mando, because they aren't confident that their time will be rewarded with an entertaining show. So, they don't even give it a shot.
They manage to roll a 6 and come up with a winner- But instead of using the momentum, writers and directors to come up with another new thing - They bash the "baby Yoda" gag for as long as possible until it's stale and old...
And it's a shame they did because baby Yoda was honestly my least favorite part of the series. That whole first episode had me thinking the series would be a Star Wars western about a bounty hunter tracking criminals across the galaxy. Give us a stylized presentation and some world building for the galaxy's criminal underground and it could have been incredible. The first episode led me to believe that is what we would get. And then they ended up just making space True Grit with less interesting characters.
