So any thoughts? Not sure where this is going to go now... before it seemed straight forward, finish the job and return to client. This will probably be a make or break episode. Expecting some kind of twist or something.

Uhh according to IMDb the director for this next episode is Bryce Dallas Howard... aka the woman from the new Jurassic Parks, wtf?
Edit: oh Ron Howard is her father, that makes sense I suppose. He directed solo

I read the episode description I'm guessing it's true {Spoiler}Mando and Cara (finally she's introduced) defend a village or something if I remember correctly, I'm guessing we will also see that woman in the trailer who was kneeling and holding a child because she said he'll protect us or something along those lines |

I expect the Mandalorian to seek shelter at Cara Dune.

This was nice pretty much what I was expecting. I really like the trope of the warrior coming to a small helpless community and helping them defend themselves from attackers. But tbh the pacing didn't feel right... Strange how the felucian farmer episode from TCW felt like it executed this story a little more smoothly in 22 minutes than this did in 40... Idk many parts just felt rushed
I liked Cara a lot. I was expecting them to already know each other though. But just like IG-11 it seems she doesn't stick around... As much as I like the lone wanderer thing he's doing I would've liked to see him start building up a crew with IG and Cara.
Also the farm lady looks like an older Iden Versio lol

Idk many parts just felt rushed This is exactly what I was thinking during the episode. They stole the story from TCW, but somehow ended up making it feel more rushed, with twice the runetime... Also, I found it hard to consider the AT-ST a threat when the Ewoks just took it down with a few tree trunks. I do like the idea of remnants of the Empire and their equipment existing in the the galaxy like this though. It seems realistic. In the real world when empires or states fall you also have warlords taking over using the equipment and methods of the former rulers. |

Tbf TCW stole the story from the old samurai or western films lol. It's a common trope and I enjoy seeing it but I'm disappointed it didn't live up to expectations here. I think their whole plan was kinda dumb in the first place... It relied on the walker going into the pond but what if it didn't do that. It could've stood a safe distance away and obliterated the whole farm easily lmao I think it was good to see the walker being an actual threat. Pretty dumb how easily they're destroyed in stuff like Rebels. The Ewoks in ROTJ were also silly with that Yeah it's pretty cool. It's like Fallen Order which had the clone wars ships/equipment instead. I do wonder how the Klatooinians acquired it though. Someone came up with a theory that Omera, the farm lady, was actually the walker pilot who eventually just gave up that life with the fall of the empire and came to the farm. Thought that was kinda cool. They really should've explained her backstory and how she can shoot and whatnot because now there's not really gonna be a chance to |

I do feel like this show asks a lot of questions like where did that walker come from or why was the farmer such an experienced shooter, but at the same time I don’t think those need to be answered, adds to the feeling and leaves stuff open to our interpretation.
I liked that the walker was a formidable threat, this is more than less how they should be. The AT-STs in Fallen Order also felt like a threat if your not playing on low difficulties. Overall I didn’t mind this episode but I honestly think it was the weakest one so far, Cara was cool and I think she will be back. Honestly one thing I do like from this show is that I never quite know what I’m going to get in the next episode.

I think the overall theme of this show is that this is just a man trying to live his life and find some sense of purpose... right now it’s just the thrill of the hunt and staying true to his religion.
The next two episode descriptions seems like self contained stories as well

Not the best episode, considering it apes that TCW episode, which aped a Kurosawa movie. Actually TCW sort of did it more than once  However, once again, the visual and set design are choice and baby Yoda's just a pile of precious. Still couldn't take the AT-ST that seriously like Pinda though. After ROTJ, it's just so hard And I do agree, we really need some evidence of a greater story at this point, or at the very least some dialogue that just hints at a greater story. I guess, Mando will try and remove the kid's tracker? Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if it's just like the slave trackers Anakin and Schmi as another reference. |

I mean, Filoni worked on this and the TCW episode, he took the exact same idea and applied it to Star Wars twice... Seems a bit unoriginal. |

Did they put a chip in the baby? If so, who did it and why? Did the Empire already get its hands on this baby before? Anyway, we definitely need a larger story. This episode once again feels like a filler episode. That would have been fine if this was a 15+ episode season or if this was the only filler episode... but not when there is only 8 episodes, with at least 2 being filler. |

The next two episode descriptions seems like self contained stories as well I get that. But I don't like it. Right now it seems just random. The Mandalorian travels to a random planet, runs into someone he happens to know and then fights with a bunch of farmers against an AT-ST... and then leaves. It all feels rather pointless. |

Even though we didn't learn a whole lot of new things with this episode, I thought it was a lot of fun. I appreciate how the AT-ST appears like more of a threat, despite ROTJ and Rebels making them seem less menacing. Cara Dune was also a good addition, although I'll be surprised if she doesn't turn up again. The farmer girl was also pretty cool, too, and she is someone I could almost see returning if the show runs long enough.
The intro of the episode reminded me of LOTR in a good way. Also I really liked the Loth cat cameo.

I am pretty sure he knew the female bounty hunter rebel (or whatever she was). I don't think so. I think he only went after her because she looked like trouble. Mando was expecting to lay low in a small shanty town with average denizens but seeing Cara who kind of looks like a capable fighter tipped him off. She also has to explain her ex rebel shock trooper background to him so they were most likely unacquainted |

I like how the Star Wars subreddit is claiming this episode is cool because it is a reference to the TCW episodes... I guess copying the exact story is called a reference now...

Star Wars sub is brain dead. Not for this but just in general... Lmao But tbh I've mostly seen people saying they didn't like the episode and it was the weakest so far. And more people are saying it ripped off Seven Samurai than TCW |

Audio is cringe af why did you post that newan 😂 Tbh fuck baby Yoda... like I really liked him at first I guess I still do I mean he's obviously cute... But he has generated the absolute shittiest memes I have ever seen. People are literally typing any random ass caption and slapping on one of the same overused images of him for some sweet karma. I'm tired of seeing that shit and I just know every single episode is gonna bring more garbage memes |

I'm honestly bothered by how many memes are coming from this show... A lot of people actually don't even care about anything else about the show they're only there to worship their fucking baby god.. I'm expecting Disney to cash in on it. In the future I can see this show turning into the exact same cringey garbage that is the sequels. Already the writing is nothing special. Won't be hard to make it worse

Episode was enjoyable once again but also it just felt a bit rushed. And like everyone said, the plot of this episode is the of course the same as “Bounty Hunters” which of course is the plot of The Magnificent Seven, which is of course the plot of The Seven Samurai.
I guess it just felt a bit random. It makes sense that Jedi would go through all that trouble to train an entire village but idk, it seems kinda weird to have this guy do the same thing. I guess we just didn’t spend enough time there for it to be convincing that he had such a connection to this place.
Again, we only have eight episodes, and so far two of them above felt like they could have been condensed or completely deleted. I wouldn’t say this if we had longer seasons.
