Yeah but since they’d let Lord and Miller get as far as they did without noticing there was something they didn’t like for whatever reason, that’s really a failure of oversight on their part and at that point, they would have been better off letting them finish at that point.

“The Book of Boba Fett” is conceived from the beginning as “Mandalorian 2.5" rather than its own thing.

The recurring flaw in the Star Wars universe is the gatekeepers continue trying to double-down on things and ideas that have already succeeded instead of attempting to break new ground. Even when they stumble into something new and good like “The Mandalorian,” their next move with “The Book of Boba Fett” is conceived…
