So Din was Just Some Guy who mumblefucked his way into being the father of a force sensitive child, and becoming the mand'alor. He was someone who didn't want to be the main character, being shoved into the role by the narrative. The entertainment in the show was partly just watching din slowly accept that he wasn't Just Some Guy anymore. Watching him slowly accepting his role as a father, watching him become significant to the sw universe kicking and screaming. It was interesting and compelling and it made for a really great main character and really great tv.

But in this season all of that was kicked out the window. He's not even a main character anymore, let alone the main character. The guy who was Just Some Guy has finally been relegated to insignificance. All of his character development washed down the drain. all of the earlier set up gone. This is the Bo-Katan show now, and yes, she's a mandalorian so we should be pleased but honestly fuck bo-katan.

Bo-katan works as a side character, she works as a villain, she works as an ally, she works as a foil, and if done very carefully, she works as a main character. But instead she's been hamfisted into the lead role by a creator who's clearly enamored with her. She doesn't earn her state as new main character.

We also never see her fail - notice that? She has (apparently) failed offscreen, but that state of failure lasts for maybe five minutes. In season 2 she's livid that Din has the darksaber and believes she has the right to rule mandalore because her family did, then we see her briefly dejected, only to be divinely proven to be the true mand'alor. She hasn't struggled at all in the mandalorian, she hasn't gone through any development that we could see. she started in one place and ended in one place.

Anyway I hope she literally dies in the next few episodes I'm so sick on this.
