I hate to say it but I'm starting to get "Holiday Special" vibes from the series. Some of these characters come across more as special celebrity guest appearances than legit Star Wars characters.

You know, if they did Live Action of The Clone Wars. Christopher Lloyd would be perfect as 99.

Spoilers for the next episode, which was shown at Celebration: {Spoiler}- Grogu gets a battle suit made from the remains of IG-11.
- Gideon is part of a shadow council that includes Gilad Pellaeon (played by Steve Pemberton), Brendol Hux (Brian Gleeson), and Thrawn (who is missing). They're working on Project Necromancer.
- Gideon now has a Mandalorian helmet of his own, his base is on Mandalore, and has armored his Stormtoopers with beskar.
- The Praetorian Guards from The Last Jedi feature heavily, albeit with Mando helmets of their own.
- The Mandalorians go looking for the Great Forge, and are ambushed by Gideon's forces.
- The Armorer is wounded, Paz Vizla lays waste to the Beskar Troopers buying time for everyone to escape but is eventually killed by Praetorians, and Din is captured.
- Bo-Katan leads the surviving Mandalorians away in search of reinforcements.

I was lucky enough to see the next episode of The Mandalorian at Celebration and it's a wild ride. They turned the story dial to 11.

Finally watched the latest episode, had a lot of fun with it. Loved that it was basically a beat for beat crime show with all the tropes packed within. As someone I know said, would love to see more Star Wars shows based on TV tropes rather than just being involved in the wider stories of the first 9 movies or whatever. Just have some planet wide shenanigans based on different genres, sort of like what Star Trek is doing with its stuff.
Also, Grogu is still the cutest thing in the universe.

{Spoiler}They literally cast somebody who is 100% the spitting image of Pellaeon.
Grogu piloting an IG mech: another billion dollars in toy sales.

Gideon, Hux, Thrawn, Pellaeon, Sloane. The New Republic never stood a chance.
That was easily one of the best episodes of the entire show and I think I found what this season was missing: Giancarlo Esposito. You can put all the villains of the week that you want but, Esposito is in a whole other universe in terms of the amount of dread he brings as the Big Bad.
Props to LucasFilm for getting Brian Gleeson for Brendol Hux.

God, that episode ruled. Raised the stakes like hell and I’m really excited to see how the final episode is like if that’s was what we’re left with. {Spoiler}Don’t think I’ve laughed harder at anything this year than Grogu going in the robot. Just adorable all around.

Gideon, Hux, Thrawn, Pellaeon, Sloane. The New Republic never stood a chance. {Spoiler}I do like the wrinkle that Gideon looks to have been going rogue. We assumed that the cloning project was directly leading towards Snoke and Palpatine, but he's basically trying to set himself up as the new Emperor with a clone army of Force-sensitive Mandalorians.
I'm guessing we're getting the Mandalorians, Ahsoka, the Rebels crew, Boba Fett's syndicate, the New Republic, and maybe Luke vs. Gideon's Imperial remnant vs. Thrawn's proto-First Order in the Mandoverse movie.

This season was lacking somewhat in comparison to the first two but this episode really picked things up.
