I very much enjoyed the first episode. Some of the shots Filoni did were really quite something. I really didn't expect to like it as much as I did. Connected with every character. Subverted some things but in a clever way that actually was satisfying.
Honestly...this made me really excited to see more and I know this is gonna sound like hyperbole, but this really is the best thing to come out of Star Wars since TFA, IMHO.

I disagree. I'd argue something like GoT would not have been nearly as big without a week-to-week rollout.
did anyone else SCREAM when they showed the salacious crumbs in the cages/getting roasted over a spit
Yeah for real. I'd rather have right episodes that move along. Let's not waste money just trying to hit a certain run time, and also drag out the story. We don't want this to turn into Daredevil mid season.
Yeah that's true, but you only see Vader in 3 movies as an antagonist. The whole aspect of uimr removing his mask is when you finally connect with him on another level writing-wise.
Carrying a show in a mask and asking the audience to connect with them is a different thing imo.
I love the week to week rollout. We get to discuss it and do theory's and stuff. As opposed to if they were released all at one time people would be done by like 6 am and already be waiting with spoilers and some of us would take weeks to even watch the whole series.
I was very amused by that. Little beats like that really help round out everything.
Counterpoint: people love Dredd. And Pascal's Mandalorian has already shown more personality than Dredd did throughout that movie.
Everyone talking about how Mandalorians are so rare is kinda weird knowing that there's an entire colony of them on the main Fringe world though.
I mean sure, but I'm talking more about it creating better discussion around the shows. Everyone gets to take it in and react at the same pace.
The cinematography and gunfights were on point! I like that the show combines the cheesiness of Star Wars and the feeling of a western.
Yeah, I agree too that some shows on streaming would've survived for longer or more popular if they were weekly and not dumped all at once, only to be lost among the sea of hype after just one weekend.
Some shows need to be events in order to get WOM out. Season premiers, season finales, even mid-season finales are good ways for some episodes to stand out.
of course it is. You didn't notice the STORMTROOPERS?
that is not yoda
Show was fantastic. I can't believe people were whining about the run time. Don't you remember what ended up happening to every Marvel Netflix show when they needed to hit length and episode count requirements?
Let them tell the story at the right pace. An efficient 35 minutes is way better than 20 minutes of fluff.

I hope that Disney keeps Boba where he is supposed to be, dying in the Sarlacc Pit.
He has my favourite design in any medium, but RotJ was pretty clear what was going to happen when the Sarlacc gets you. I would hate it if they brought him back for fan service.
Tales of the Bounty Hunters was one of the first Star Wars books I read, and that was the one where they explained how he got out of the pit. I always just accepted it as canon, because it was for a long while.
I understand and I still hope thay they make a movie about him one day. It should take place a few years before ANH and RO.
Does someone know what "the great purge" referred to? I've seen both TCW and Rebels, bit I've never heard of it.
So I'm pretty sure there was a portal Easter egg? I spied companion cube with out the heart on it. Has any one else seen similar ones in other places? I'm trying to find out if cubes like that are a common set design or if it was really a eater egg?
as far as canon concern.
Aftermatch's book implies/hint that he gets out from Sarlacc Pit and ditches his Mandalorian armor.
Thought it was enjoyable but a little flat through most of it. The episode accomplished the goal though because the ending has me hyped.
I would too. I mean, after the sarlaac incident, everyone's gonna think he's the most inept bounty hunter alive.
I'm not exactly super old lol, 34 but I grew up watching star wars and to me this show seems to be the closest to the original trilogy outside of rouge one. I liked seven and eight but to me personally Star Wars always felt darker and more grimy. To me this feels like classic Star Wars! Now in classic Star Wars tradition I demand everyone chop off someone's arm/hand!
Since it ends with just "Star Wars" I guess they will use to anything Star Wars related. Maybe even the RotS.
I like the first eps. Now I feel like I need to catch up the Clone Wars. I was surprised by the runtime but if they have the freedom to choose the runtime, it is better. It won't feel like it is stretching out or squeezing in everything.
I'm going to be using I have Spoken to end conversations a lot in the next few weeks
Great first episode. If this quality stays the same this will be the best Disney Star Wars content they have made

Years of legal streaming has made you soft, torrents are still a thing.
Had the same issue. Was looking around for a fix but saw nothing. I dont see a report button or anything either.
