This was my least favorite episode. Mando seemed like a rookie in this episode. Made lots of mistakes that you wouldn't expect someone with his reputation to make.

I'm still going to watch it, but the show isn't very good.

Did not seem to advance the story any.
What is the story though? Seems like it might be settling into his adventures skipping across the galaxy with lil yoda, kind of a Star Trek vibe.

The one before was him trying to find an out of the way place to let the critter get some growing up time. This one he went to a named planet with all kinds of of activity. I know he had to get repaired and all but then he just goes out looking for work. Is he trying to hide or not?

The end scene though

A lot of people are speculating that it was Boba Fett and that we'll get an on-screen reveal that he survived the Sarlaac Pit. I'll be very surprised if that is the case. If it were to happen, I hope we get a flashback to his escape.

I don't think they'll go that far to put an OT character actually in the show. They want it to be its own thing. I think the other side of the speculation will be correct in that its gonna be Giancarlo Esposito's character

Don’t bother. You’ll only make it to episode 4 before your masculinity will feel threatened and you’ll have to bail.

Dude, you were wrong. Big fan. She’s hot.

So far really enjoying this series.

Don’t think that’s Boba...might be his armor though.

It was pretty cool and the ending was great but I'm getting a little tired of throwaway episodes. It's early in the series and that is when you introduce the main characters and create the story. So far we know two and have spent weeks on side quests. I'm all in because it's star wars but the show is struggling to advance the plot.

Eh last episode was decent.

It's VERY vanilla/plain as a TV show, but that's what I like about it. There's not the 'epic' music blasting in your ears, a lightsaber every 5 seconds, the force just 'solving everything' (although Mando solves things fairly easy, but at least it's DIFFERENT), and so far not a bunch of political crap thrown in.

I'd say it's a fairly 'eh' TV series, but it VERY much feels much closer to the original Star Wars (which was revolutionary for it's time, but REALLY doesn't hold up that much today - it for some reason got a MASSIVE cult following because Lucas is a marketing GENIUS), so it's kind of entertaining.

And of course, gotta give anything with Burr an A+. That mother fucker can always get a laugh out of me.

My expectations have certainly dragged down since the 2nd-3rd episode or so, but I'm still curious to see where it goes. I am FAR more 'excited' to see the next episode of this, then the stupid ass movie with Mary Sue and Star 'go vagina' Wars coming out in... sometime this month (or is it January? I think it's a XMAS thing now? Get the kiddies in?). That is STRAIGHT to TV or Asian hacked videos sometime next year during a blizzard with a handle of bourbon at my side.

yeah I've gotten that sense too but who knows maybe the show is just about him trying to survive with the overarching theme of him shooting up the guild and having a wanted asset after him. I'm enjoying the episodes on their own merit but a bigger storyline developing would also be nice.
