I'm gona say it, I was underwhelmed with that ending, I felt there were no stakes, and we didn't really get an emotional pay off. So here's how yours truly would've written it:

Gideon has installed a fail safe on the clones. There is no 'explode the tank' button on them but if they are tampered with in any way and he's not the one to do it, then it automatically sends out a distress signal and calls on a fleet of imperial planetary bombers (the same ones that were used in the Purge) courtesy of Thrawn.

And the only way to stop the bombers is to HATCH the clones (who have all Gideon's memories and force powers at this point in their development - they're at the end of the third trimester, they're ready to go) which will send out a recall signal and stop the fleet.

So we've learned that Mandalore has all this life on it and Mythosaurs and survivors but all that's at stake now. But you can't just drop a light cruiser onto the lab cos Gideon reveals he's hid multiple cloning facilities on the planet and the only way to defeat all the clones would be to allow the planet to be bombed AGAIN!

He knows he's personally not powerful enough to defeat the Mandalorians as a unified force, but something he can do is lure them all to one place and give them a cataclysmic dilemma to deal with even if he dies. So they can either watch their planet get destroyed for a second time and all remaining life wiped out for good, or his clones will kill them all.

So you have Bo's crew who are determined to save Mandalore, their birthplace, their home, and deal with the clones themselves, and then you have Din's covert who prioritise the Mandalorian people over the planet and prefer to let the planet be bombed as long as it kills the clones.

And there's this big stand off!? And they have to decide what to do!?

That would've been an epic nail biting climax. You bring back the tension of the 2 clans/ideologies, you make the audience give a shit about Mandalore, and it presents a massive moral dilemma for everyone to wrestle with.

If you save the planet but let the clones live then you have a huge threat in place for next season alongside Thrawn, if you kill the planet and the clones then it's darkened even more by the fact that the Mythosaur would also perish (but you could totally have Grogu reveal later that he spotted an egg in the living waters and saved it before they escaped).

Ok that's basically it. I have spoken.

Grogu is gona burst through a blast door inside IG12 riding a mythosaur and he gonna say THIS IS THE WAY BITCH in the robot voice and then force slap Gideon into orbit

And all the mandos are gona be like: man fuck that dark saber shit I'm following this unhinged frog

And Bo will just be standing there with Linkin Park - In the End playing in her head and Din will come over with no tact and be like: ...well you still have me?

And Boba Fett's laugh will be heard all the way from Tatooine

- him and Fennec hear that the empire still has his dna on file in the cloning facility and they go and bitchslap it out of existance, forever ensuring that no more storm troopers are modeled after his father

- space Xzibit comes and pimps Slave I for him, at least a new paint job

- turns the rancor pit into a ball pit of stormtrooper helmets

- decks a bunch of his homies in fake mandalorian helmets and sends a group selfie to Bo-Katan with hashtag #RealMandalorians
