So far, I'm enjoying the series. I think I'd agree that not a lot happens, or at least, not a lot has happened so far with regards to some grander scale or overarching plot that we're not in the know about. I'm interested in each character, and the situations in the moment, and like everyone I definitely wonder what's up with Baby Yoda and the Empire's seeming backroom surge, but I'm perfectly content to have small scale stories with small scale meaning. In effect the last episode was derivative to a near-fault, leaning so hard on 7 samurai it threatened to fall over, but can anyone really deny how fun it was to see that entire story play out in 30 minutes with some fun and charming characters with the SW world as a backdrop? It's like fan-fiction, yes, but it's well-produced, expensive fan-fiction that I think knows the heart of contemporary SW perhaps only as well as Rian Johnson.
But, I'd also agree with some of the people here talking about how it sometimes plays a bit like a videogame. It does have moments like this, but I don't find that offensive or even bad style -- videogame narratives have become rather good at using finite timeslots to move moments of import from a start to finish line in record time, and if there's anything this show needs in the scant 30 minutes it is allocated, it's brevity. Videogames stole the language of cinema, and contorted it to fit a timeframe wherein they had strong guarantees about peoples' attention spans. It's maybe only right that cinema takes a part of that back in manipulating what should arguably be a much longer-form story into something bite-sized yet legible.
Hopefully there's something for here for everyone by the end.
