This show is everything I want from Star Wars ...from tone to cinematography to writing...love it to bits.
Oh and the theme tune is fucking legendary status.

From the beginning I have been absolutely expecting Boba Fett for the finale
This one didn't hit for me as well as last week, but it seems I enjoyed last week's episode more than most on here.
Still a fun time though! It's a good thing we'll be seemingly getting more Ming-Na Wen screentime

What a tease. But, could it really be a Fett tease or just that Imperial played by Esposito? Moff Gideon.
Kind of slow for me, but it had great cinematography and of course who doesn't like nostalgia.
Mos Eisley looks practically deserted now, though. This is post-Jabba's death, so maybe there's a reason (outside of obvious budget constraints).
Also, I think this was the first time we get a name for the planet the guild is on?

He would have to have beskar armor of his own, as nothing else sounds like that.
Though that would give another layer to why Mando deals with him.
So is baby Yoda legit a baby? He's supposed to be 50 after all. Just thinking of Empire where actual Yoda pretends to be an idiot. Perhaps this is variation for survival purposes.
Yoda was 900 so compared to that you can say he's a baby. We have no idea what age they mature at or even the race name for that matter.
Edit: Also crazy to me his race never got a name. We have full background stories and race names for one off species that are only seen for a second, but a main character we can't get a race name for.
That's exactly why it was good. Finally a real episode that takes its time, with a character that developed. Even just having a (fairly basic) twist puts it leaps and bounds ahead of all the others, which did not (apart from Baby Yoda being the package in Ep 1 -- though that's more a surprise than an outright twist).
sound effect is the exact same when he walks in ESB. Sounds like spurs
Warner Herzog could've been lying about his age, as well.
This episode's villain (the young guy) didn't hit for me at all. He's a goofball for almost the entire episode, and then at the end when he decided to betray Mando, I just knew he'd die in two seconds (which he did).
Speeder bike action and "sleeping" Mando gag were great. Droids and the cool mechanic too.

Yeah, I have to see it again, but also I think "slow" wasn't the correct word. I didn't find it boring, I was enjoying taking it all in, so maybe it was just my expectations that we would get a faster paced episode this time. I was hyper-aware of the entire show only having four more episodes left, when I should've just been enjoying this one.
But yeah, it started with a frigging space battle! I was actually just thinking about it earlier before the episode aired because I remember seeing a bit of it in one of the tv spots.
All beskar sounds like that on the show.
He has ditched his OT armor though. It's currently in the possession of self appointed sheriff of Freetown cobb vanth.
I don't think that was ever confirmed to be bobas. They could easily get around that.
I also just went back and watched some scenes with mando walking around and didn't hear that noise at all. It's honestly not something I noticed till this
Amy Sedaris in Star Wars. What a world. And Bobby Cannavale's son!
I'm glad they got at least one space battle in this season given it's a Star Wars show.
That's kind of the point though. He was a rank amateur throughout the entire thing and it was easy to see that he wouldn't last one second in the guild. His death was inevitable.
The "That's my line" was super cheesy. Outside of that, great episode.
Loved the gruff, but sweet mechanic lady and her droids.
I really thought this series would have a bigger weekly cast. IG11's only been in one episode as is Cara Dune. But so far, it's just "Lone Mando and Cub". What gives?!
I LOVE how the old cantina used to be a place with no droids allowed is now completely run by droids. XD

Opening space sequence was incredible. Are they using actual models for some shots? Or are the having the CGI replicate that? It looked almost stop motion in moments.
Felt like the actor playing Toro was a bit off tho. I got what they were going for in terms of how lame he's supposed to be, but I think the dude was also just not doing a good job at acting it out.
Last scene's got me intrigued/excited. Solid ep.

Sheen on this show is starting wear of for me. It's starting to kinda fuckin suck, tbh. Elementary school dialogue and undeveloped, 1-dimensional characters are fatiguing. Usage of classic locations at random is actually more irritating than nostalgic.
Aye, super advanced sound stages.
I think they use a successor to the tech used in Gravity (2013), in which the walls display scenery etc.
Basically it's old fashioned back-projection used in a more dynamic way.
That was really enjoyable. I'm so happy this is a brisk episodic adventure series and not some tired "It's all one big movie" kinda thing. Feels refreshing.
