The Mandalorian Season 3 Episode 2’s lighting problem reminds fans of Game of Thrones

The year 2023 has been especially fruitful for renowned actor Pedro Pascal. Beginning the year with a bang in HBO’s The Last of Us, the Game of Thrones alum’s performance as Joel has been highly praised by both the fans and the critics. Pascal will continue to protect another orphaned kid in Disney+’s The Mandalorian. However, the most recent episode in the bounty hunter’s saga reminded many of an infamous sequence from Game of Thrones.

Why is The Mandalorian Season 3 Episode 2 so dark?

The Mandalorian Season 3 Episode 2 ‘The Mines of Mandalore’ continues Din Djarin’s travels with Grogu, this time to his home planet of Mandalore. The mines don’t have any lighting source and are really dark, and are full of dangers unknown to them. With some help from an unlikely ally, the Mandalorian does manage to complete his mission, but much of the action sequence remained under the cover of darkness.

What do the fans think about The Mandalorian Season 3 Episode 2?

A number of fans expressed their annoyance via Twitter:

I'd love to watch a Disney+ show that I could actually see all of. Newest episode of the Mandalorian had fight scenes so dark that I had to check the brightness on my laptop.

#Mandalorian S3E2 was really boring up until Bo Katan & Din actually get to talk & explore. Also it's so damn dark, I can't appreciate any of the action.
