This is painful for me to admit, but I need to get this out of my system. The season 2 finale of The Mandalorian was awful. Why? Because it denied us this:
How dare Disney deny us this yearly Christmas tradition of a Star Wars Holiday special. Instead we got a boring season finale full of action and death, when we should have an hour and a half variety show of musical numbers spreading cheer and joy in the spirit of Christmas.
The setup would have been simple. Mando needs to take Grogu back to his home planet for Life Day, and there we meet Grogu's real family. His mom Granita, his dad Gringo, and his grandad, Grumpy.
As the show goes on we would follow the members of Grogu's family as they go about their daily lives, like his mom working in the kitchen whilst watching a cooking show. But instead of Harvey Korman in drag, we have Gordon Ramsay playing the four armed alien chef.
Later on, grandpa Grumpy would use the family's VR headset to watch some trippy galactic porno. But instead of a sexy and slim Diahann Carroll, we'd have Lizzo there to promote a current year message of body positivity.
And to further promote diversity, for the Mos Eisley musical number, we'd have Bea Arthur replaced by Whoopi Goldberg.
Hey, it's not like this is her first time playing a bartender in space.
As Mando flies the Razor Crest to Grogu's home planet, the little guy takes time off to watch the Special's animated segment. Instead of Nelvana studios, this time it's made by the creators of Rick and Morty.
Finally when Mando arrives with Grogu and drives out the Imperials, he joins Grogu and his family for the Life Day celebration. After a while, the rest of the show's cast appears:
And since this is the holidays, why not throw the sequel trilogy cast a bone and let them join in the fun:
And what's a Star Wars holiday special without a song performance from a coked out Carrie Fisher? It's a shame she's no longer with us. But hey, that's never stopped Disney before:
So yeah, my Christmas is ruined because Lucasfilm decided to be dicks and give the fans what they wanted, which was Luke Skywalker kicking ass in the season finale. I reverse my opinion of Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni. They're fucking hacks who dared to mess with this annual holiday tradition.
I'll now sit in a corner and cry myself to sleep at this injustice.
