Even as one of Star Wars' most highly praised and beloved pieces of media, The Mandalorian season 2 still has some harsh realities upon rewatching. It's been 3 years since The Mandalorian season 2 first premiered, widening the scope of the story in an ambitious and exciting way. Pedro Pascal's Din Djarin embarked on his quest to reunite Grogu, still known as "Baby Yoda" at that time, with the Jedi, crossing paths with well-known characters such as Bo-Katan Kryze, Ahsoka Tano, and Boba Fett along the way. The season 2 finale is simply unforgettable with the return of Luke Skywalker and the tearful goodbye between Din and Grogu - but even this incredible story still falls short of perfection.
One new season of The Mandalorian and four additional Star Wars live-action TV shows later, The Mandalorian season 2 continues to stand strong as a favorite among viewers, despite its flaws. This season often tops the lists of Star Wars viewers' rankings, mainly for the way it so seamlessly ties together new characters and new story threads. Though this worked well in several ways, it also fell short in others, leaving 12 harsh realities in its wake upon rewatching 3 years later.
