Love the show so far. Mando is just visually cool, the lack of dialogue and atmospheric environmental storytelling is fantastic, and the production designs are outstanding.
My only complaints:
-I'm greedy. I want longer episodes, although I respect the tight pacing.
-Had the same issue with Rogue One, but SW without John Williams just messes with my brain. I know this will be the norm going into the future, but man... it's a harder pill to swallow than I thought it would be. Some of the music in this show reminds me of Bill Conti's stuff from ROCKY... which kind of bothers me, lol.
Can't wait for more!

Only on Era will you find that person that compares 2019 CG to 2002 CG and thinks that's fair.
Lucas has flaws, but he and his company were throughout one of the main pioneers in CGI and advanced technology in filmmaking. To trash him for some of the most advanced CGI at the time, because we can do better in 2019 is just dumb, honestly.
Ep. 2 was fine...can't complain about its content. That said Ep. 1 and 2 really should have just been one episode...
i agree with this, episode just felt too short. 30 minutes wasn't enough for me lol
Episode 2 was kinda fun but it was also an almost completely nothing episode. Should have been part of episode 1.
Exactly. A cliffhanger would have been if they both looked into the carrier and were shocked, but the audience never saw who was in it.
Is Baby Yoda CGI though? Seemed like very well done practical effects.
I thought the second episode was cute. It actually had some personality and the filmmaking was vastly better.
Baby Yoda is adorable. I hope the mysteries they keep dangling pay off in a substantive way because so far that's about the only thing the show has going for it from a storytelling perspective.

this is Era where people make a thread while sat in cinema watching a movie complaining they don't understand the movie they watching so expecting them to pay attention to a 30 minute episode is way to much
Yeah, this in particular makes the episodes lengths frustrating. Dropping the whole season at once would have alleviated that
So was the baby trying to heal Mando's wound?
He walked up to him and looked at it like he was either concerned about it or was trying to touch it

Yodita and Nick Nolte were practical effects, no? Maybe a layer of CGI on top for the eyes.
So it seems there's no way baby Yoda survives this show right? That would be rough seeing him die
I really don't understand how anyone can think this based on what we've seen so far, although it's been fine. The story and direction of episode 1 were nothing special.
This has major samurai jack/tartakovsky vibes for me.
There's not a lot of dialogue, there's a lot of interesting stuff happening, the space western feel, well done direction (loved the shot where you could see them jumping cliffs in the reflection of the helmet), subtle humor, well done action.
I'm beginning to get a feel for this show and I like it. It's as small as I could possibly hope for. No crew, no galaxy destroying stakes, just a lone wolf and his force sensitive Yoda baby.

Of course it will survive! They are gonna set him up to take Yodas spot after episode XI for whatever the force sensitive people will become, this is gonna be their leader.
Ep2 was fine, I enjoyed it more than ep1 I think. I love the jawas appearance lol.
I'm kinda enjoying the more Mando-character focused the show has been so far, compared to the bigger scope movies. That might change going into the later episodes but we'll see I guess.
The shorter runtime of the 2 episodes didn't really matter much to me as we get a lot from it and it didn't feel rushed. But of course I wouldn't mind longer runtime :P
Baby Yoda is the Pikachu of Star Wars lol.

Why did Mando feel it necessary to vaporize the Jawas (over using some other non-lethal means of subduing them)? They're seriously not that big a threat to him, but I guess he got pissed off they stole parts from his ship. In some ways it reminded me of Anakin slaughtering Tusken Raiders.
Oh and these episodes better start getting longer. 30 minutes is ridiculous for a non-comedy series. I want to see 50 minute episodes minimum.

Chapter 2 Opinion Poll
OP
OP
Wheres the option for great( love both chapters to far ) ?
It's funny I totally see what you mean and felt the same for rouge one but for some reason it really works for me. Other then republic commando this is the only time that hasn't bothered me. Episode 2 barely moves the story along but it's so well done it's hard not to love it
I got a feeling if he has a bazooka he would've tried to destroy the sandcrawler lol.

There's only so many choices you can add unfortunately. I tried to cover as many opinions as possible.
They stripped his ship clean and stole from him, what else are you going to do in that moment? Of course you're going to kill as many as possible.
