I am watching a compilation of people reacting to the last episode of the Mandalorian, and I am very confused by them. I won't go into spoilers, but, like, why on Earth would anyone think the show would even let them suspect that's where they were going with it if they weren't gonna follow through? The rage would be visible from space.
Lots of reasons. Sometimes when you want something so bad, you read into things that might not be there. Or because shows have to deal with real world BS, everyone might have wanted a certain thing but it just couldn't come together in production for whatever reason. So you might really want to see one thing and instead get something tangentially related to that thing instead. And it just becomes an homage or reference to the original because that's the best they can do. So like if an actor decided not to come back to a show, the next season might have someone else in a similar role who happens to be that first character's cousin. It happens.
