The Mandalorian season 3 is still on the Nielsen streaming charts, barely so, my guess is that this is the last time The Mandalorian will be on the charts until the next season is released. It is currently in 9th place on the original series charts with 319 million viewing minutes. How does that compare to season 2? Not very favorably, not at all. Season 2 already had more viewing minutes (and a higher average), but after the finale was released this gap only widened. And now the gap has become quite massive. Also, Peter Pan & Wendy is already massively shedding viewers and chances are it will drop out of the charts next week, and it only entered the charts last week, and at the box office Disney has no reason to rejoice either.

Another week, another update for the Nielsen Streaming Charts. They added episode 8 of The Mandalorian season 3, the finale. So how did it do and how does it compare to the previous season? And how does The Mandalorian, how do all the Star Wars series, compare to the Marvel shows? I added some charts to visualize all the numbers so you can better see how season 3 and 2 compare when it comes to viewership and how the various Star Wars and Marvel season finales compare!

We are close to the finish line! Nielsen added the seventh season 3 The Mandalorian episode to their charts, which was part one of the grand finale! And the ratings are down compared to last week.

Another Friday, another update for the Nielsen Streaming Charts. This week they added episode 5 of The Mandalorian season 3, which was about the pirate attack on Nevarro which gets repelled by the Mandalorians. So how did the episode do? Pretty well. The Mandalorian is #4 on the general streaming charts and #3 on the original series charts with 878 million minutes. Netflix’ #1 series The Night Agent obliterates the competition with 3.06 billion minutes though. But how does The Mandalorian season 3 compare to season 2 and the other Star Wars shows?

It’s time again for yet another look at the Nielsen streaming charts. How does The Mandalorian fare with its fourth season 3 episode? Pretty well! While the absolute number, 795 million minutes, may seem pretty low (last week was more than 1.1 billion minutes) episode 4 which was added to the charts is also the shortest season 3 episode clocking in at just over 30 minutes of running time. This is good enough for #5 on the general streaming charts and #3 on the original series charts. So how does this compare to season 2 and other Star Wars shows? Also, I attempt to arrive at an estimate for the actual viewership numbers in the US and worldwide by using dark science, but no cloning! Click through to find out more!

A little later than usual here is the review for The Mandalorian season 3 finale! I suppose the final episode made a few people feel a bit silly about overthinking things where no overthinking is required.
The finale was certainly lot of of fun, if endless action, blaster shootouts, throwing spaceships at people and heroes fighting baddies clad in all black with melee weapons and blasters is your kind of fun! Add a cute little space baby that can use the force and you can have a really good time with the finale! And I will certainly not spoil anything when I say that everyone gets a “happy for now” ending. The Mandalorian is not a drama with wild character twists… it is an updated version of your typical 1930s or 1940s (space or wild west) adventure serial.

Anyway… it’s time to discuss the season finale and to talk a bit about the season as a whole! So click here to read my spoiler review and let’s discuss The Mandalorian season 3 finale!

We are approaching the end of the week, which means Nielsen update their weekly streaming charts! As usual with a four week delay, so the ratings released today are actually for The Mandalorian episode 3, which was all about Doc Pershing eating biscuits and space popsicles, oh, and getting his mind fried! So how did The Mandalorian season 3 do with its third episode? Well, it has climbed to number 3 on the general streaming and original series charts with 1,115 million minutes viewed! This is the highest number for season 3 yet, but as usual the devil lies in the detail, because Nielsen’s streaming charts depend very much on things like episode length, number of episodes available, but most important is always the length of the current episode, and episode 3 happens to be, thus far, the longest season 3 episode by quite some margin. So what does that mean for the ratings? Also, for the first time ever Star Trek makes an appearance on the charts! What happened here? Click through for a closer look!

You all remember Rey’s dialogue from The Rise of Skywalker: “And I am all the Jedi!”

Now imagine some five-year-old kid shouting “And I am all the Star Wars action figures!” and you have a pretty good idea about the latest The Mandalorian episode. The big villain returns, yes, Moff Gideon is back! And Bo-Katan and her merry band of Mandos is ready to reclaim Mandalore! But not before Grogu gets the best toy ever. Or the worst. You decide… But say what you will, the weirdly titled “The Spies” is peak Saturday morning cartoon and probably the biggest fun you can have on tv/streaming in ages, well, since Luke Skywalker returned on The Mandalorian.

So there is a lot to talk about today about the latest adventure of Bo-Katan and her loyal follower Din Djarin who is happy to serve her! Click here or on the banner to read my spoiler review and let’s discuss “The Spies”!

Many viewers of The Mandalorian have observed that season 3 seems to be shifting focus, away from Din Djarin and Grogu, over to Bo-Katan played by Katee Sackhoff. Season 3 is virtually all about Bo-Katan. How she reunites the Mandalorian clans, how she gets the darksaber back, how she gets her fleet back, how she will become yet again the leader of Mandalore. With Din Djarin mostly being along for the ride and Grogu more or less being relegated to cute pet status. So is that just something happening in season 3 or is this a sign that the series is slowly shifting away from Din Djarin as the only main character?
Well, IGN conducted an interview with The Mandalorian executive producer and director Rick Famuyiwa that sheds an interesting light on recent developments! Click through to learn what he has to say about The Mandalorian!

Bo-Katan, at the center of things
