YMMV / The Mandalorian S3E1 "Chapter 17: The Apostate"

• Continuity Lockout: Viewers tuning in without watching The Book of Boba Fett beforehand were denied an explanation as to why Grogu decided to leave Luke, or how he returned to Mando. Even the Previously on… segment at the beginning shows no Boba Fett clips other than the Armorer banishing Din, which dialogue in the episode proper recaps again.
• Genius Bonus: C'mon, a pirate named Vane? It's not hard to guess his name was inspired by a certain other scallywag.
• It's the Same, Now It Sucks!: Following a Series Hiatus that almost lasted three years, some viewers expressed disappointment at Mando and his show apparently failing to outgrow such tiresome qualities as his tendency to accept side quests and insistence upon keeping his helmet on at all times.
