I couldn't sleep last night and one of the times I was wandering around the house trying to stay out of the fridge I realized the new episode had dropped.

Watching it with the kids this morning was a lot more fun, I don't nit-pick and the corny sorta-clever parts, like bad-shooting scouts, was a big hit.  It's a good show, but with little kids it's a GREAT show.

I battle myself with my nitpicking trying to rationalize what’s worth nitpicking over but other than a couple scenes the ships in the show haven’t been CGI’d well. Hopefully they work on that. The Witcher show is firing their CGI and getting a new company for season 2

My daughter got upset when Baby Yoda was picked up by the Scout Troopers. She was really, really happy when IG-11 rescued him. She got very upset and had to go into her room when IG-11 got out of the boat and started walking through the lava. She looked at me and with tears in her eyes and asked, 'Why?' I explained why and she just looked at the TV and said, 'I can't watch. I'm done.'

She had the same reaction in Rogue One when K2SO was killed.

It's a lightsaber. It's literally an artifact at this point as it was crafted by the first Mandalorian Jedi millennia before.

You know I was wondering that too and then I saw the architecture of the buildings from the overhead shot and it looked sort of like Naboo. Or at least the architecture was very Nabooish

Did they save money by just using footage of mando from the GOT’s fight vs the mountain?

Really well done first season and I’m really glad mando will be traveling the galaxy looking for Jedi.

Could be taken either way I think, due to Mando's misunderstanding of the leaders abbreviated explanation.

and if they haven't, this may drive traffic towards watching them.  Especially all the Gen Xers whose kids (like my son) are patiently explaining to them the history of the Mandalorians and the Darksaber.

They were, but Dooku betrayed them at some point. It would make sense for that scene to have occurred in the latter part of the Clone Wars.

Considering the time frame, wouldn't it be more likely that if he went searching for the Jedi he would come across Luke and his new academy.

I hope he just goes searching for the species so we can keep all the old characters away from this.

The interaction between the two storm troopers at the beginning seemed out of place and makes me roll my eyes.

Also, some things didn’t make sense. One minutes, there are tons of storm troopers. The next minute a “flame trooper?” shows up, acting like some kind of badass, and goes in solo?

Plot based character decisions drive me nuts also. The Mandalorian armorer stays behind to face certain death (or not, because storm troopers are inept) so that she can scrounge armor? How was she the only Mandalorian to stay behind on the planet and survive? We see a pile of helmets and armor, but she somehow survived the empire... ok..

There are some really good things about the show, and some really bad things.

I kind of see what you are saying, but if you have ever been around a platoon, it is not out of context. At all...

For me, at least, the scene actually heightened the realism, and was hilarious to boot.
