2. The Repetitive Action Sequences

Chapter 12 was another action-heavy instalment of The Mandalorian, but apart from the TIE chase previously mentioned the action sequences on the whole felt disappointing.

Granted, there are only so many ways of filming a bunch of shootouts, but everything felt markedly more static in this week's episode compared to what we've gotten used to. There's lots of ducking and pot-shots and the process repeats itself over and over until the closing act.

It would've been nice to see our heroes utilising a selection of weapons, potentially, as opposed to just the ordinary blaster pistols. Nothing too major, but some more variety definitely couldn't have hurt.
