I had posted my thoughts in a throwaway, day of thread.
I got the impression they wanted to make S3 work without seeing BoBF, so a lot of the scenes seemed redundant, like going back to talk to the Armorer, and most of the dialogue with Greef Karga and Bo-Katan. Other than that no real complaints, action was good, Grogu was cute, plant pirate was pretty cringe. |

Excellent use of stop-motion with the IG scene. The effects team knows when to go retro and how make skin crawl.

Mando premiere was a bit of a mess...too much crammed into too short a time, and for God sake let something actually stay dead in Star Wars. Not a disaster of an episode, but kinda meh. Disjointed.
I'm gonna be the odd man out and say I LOVED Swamp Thing pirate captain though. I actually giggled at how delightfully silly it was. Hope we see more of him. |

So were the pirate fighter ships the new and canonized R-41 Starchasers?

I'm waiting to see Grand Admiral Thrawn and Ezra Bridger. The last several episodes of the Mandalorian have had pieces of Star Wars: Rebels inserted into them and I'm hoping it's leading up to Thrawn.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AR-1904: Mando was good. Bad Batch was great. Just about everything has been covered in this thread by now. Omega announcing herself to the Kaminoan prime minister guy was a bad idea. Who could have seen that coming?  Mando spent the whole episode setting up every thread for the season. That's one way to do it, I guess. I did like that not only did Cara Dune get a mention, they explained her absence in a positive light. "Special Forces", not "oh, she was actually a serial killer and we had to hang her in the public square". Stoked to see the purgill. Missed the Ahsoka owl. Will have to go back. Wait, which scene was the Ahsoka owl in? I totally missed it. |

In the scene where Mando sees the IG-11 statue, there's a bird on it's shoulder that flies off. It has a long tail, yes. But it looks to have a beaky face and not really owl-like. I think it was just a coincidence. I'm pretty sure that owl (morai?) is seen in the Ahsoka episode in season 2 though. When he first meets her in the forest. |

It made me think of something Lucas might have put in the cantina scene if he had todays tech in 1977. |

Once people have a planet, the person they are looking for is as good as found. Luke crashed on Dagabah, within walking distance of Yoda. Getting off planet is a big deal, often made a plot point. But moving around once on a planet? Barely an inconvenience. |

Wow, tonight's episode was really really nice. Great Fallout vibes from seeing Mandalore's cities in ruins, even moreso if you've watched Clone Wars and knew it wasn't always like that.
