According to IMDB chapter 7 is on Wednesday December 18th btw.... I assume this is to not conflict with the release of Rise of Skywalker. The finale will however still be on a Friday, December 27th.

I believe they moved it because episode 7 has a connection to Rise of Skywalker. It is not known whether that is like a teaser after the episode or something in the episode itself. That's what I read on Reddit though, might be fake. Didn't bothet to look into it. |

This show is getting worse and worse... I'm tired of this Rebels tier writing. And this episode did not even feel like Star Wars at all tbh... Is Bill Burr even a fucking actor? Didn't seem like it. His role was hyped up by so many people but he felt like the most un Star Wars character we've seen.
The whole casting was actually pretty interesting. Satan was played by Clancy Brown who does some voice acting. I recognized him from Detroit Become Human. Crazy Twi'lek was played by the Wildling lady from GoT. The dude who hired them was in Sons of Anarachy I'm pretty sure. Matt Lanter was also in this. I recognized him instantly and seeing him made me smile. Though I can't help but think they totally wasted him on an unnamed character with almost no lines. What the fuck? He's actually a pretty good actor I would've loved to see him in a substantial role. But now sadly we most likely won't be seeing him again in the show. But the point is it seemed like they had a fairly talented cast but their characters were written like garbage
The three X-Wing pilots are the end were Filoni and two other directors I think. God their delivery was awful lol. I know they're not actors so it's understandable but like they just keep making it seem like a fan film... Filoni's pilot is named Trapper Wolf btw lol
But yeah once again a pretty bad episode. Felt like some generic sci fi fan film. The part with Mando trolling the others just dragged on for so long. And the whole thing with them bullying him the entire time was so childish.

I was so surprised they brought Alzoc III back into canon. It was that snow planet Luminara and Aayla go to in that one Clone Wars video game lol. So that was cool. I thought the hangar place was actually an old Republic medical station but I don't think it was. And the starfighter at the end looked like a MagnaGuard fighter but I'm not sure. Could've been heavily modified. Canto Bight name drop felt weird... Lots of fan servicy type things I guess most obvious being the X-Wings. The X-Wing scene felt so random though... Wasn't the best way to make their first appearance I would say.
Can we please see the fucking Empire now in these next two episodes? Enough of these shitty side quests

Ah yeah I couldn't think of his other stuff off the top of my head except for Transformers Prime lol. I guess he's been around though he's got a very distinct voice |

I actually quite liked this episode. It felt pretty original to me and it kept me engaged. Honestly I kind of wanted to see Mando kill all of them but I liked some of the characters. Mayfield actor is actually really good and I liked the character, I remembered him from Breaking Bad. The Devaronian was ok but it is one of my favorite species, I want them playable in SWTOR. The Twi’lek was kind of a Harley Quinn knockoff but she also gave me some Darth Talon vibes. Zero was probably the coolest of them all, his voice was awesome.
I love their reaction to seeing Baby Yoda... “Did you two make that?” Lol. I wonder if Mando actually banged the twilek lol, did he keep the helmet on?? These are the real questions... oh I also loved the one line “I wasn’t a stormtrooper wiseass”..
The new droid models were pretty dope, I’m surprised the New Republic actually uses droids though, but they were a lot more competent then the droids we are used to seeing. Seems like they got some decent armor and better blasters.
Anyways decent episode, I’ve grown to accept there’s no story that travels episode to episode but I enjoy seeing these adventures none the less. However you probably could have just literally used Boba Fett for that purpose.... but I guess he has too much of a rep for more small time work.

It was better than the last one. I actually loved the set design of the ship and the security droid's look. Plus it manages some good tensed up moments with the "hunting the hunters" angle, Mando's take down of the droids was utterly boss and it has Mr Krabs in it and Richard Ayoade perfectly cast as a droid, so what's not to like?  That said, I've seen more interesting bounty hunter crews really. Plus, Obi's right, Mando sort of getting bullied by the team was more awkward than anything intense. This show is growing more and more consistent with some really weird moments. I wouldn't say it's quite Rebels level of writing (not yet at least), but I do think it seriously lacks substance and charisma, which is, y'know, sort of what you need for a bounty hunter show Also, I think with just 2 episodes to go, we're gonna have to accept the fact that baby Yoda's all the plot and ongoing story we're getting Also that cameo from Dave and the other directors was so out of place and unexpected I'm honestly not even mad. I couldn't help, but laugh |

These are the real questions... oh I also loved the one line “I wasn’t a stormtrooper wiseass”.. Yeah they defo smashed but I think Mando regretted it once he realized how crazy she is lol. That stormtrooper line actually really bothered me... Stormtroopers having bad aim is just something fans have invented. Legitimizing that in canon makes the imperial forces seem incompetent and weak |

That stormtrooper line actually really bothered me... Stormtroopers having bad aim is just something fans have invented. Legitimizing that in canon makes the imperial forces seem incompetent and weak I read that the canon reasons stormtroopers have bad aim is because they get really shitty equipment from the empire. They are supposed to have targeting algorithms built into the HUDs on their helmets but they are very unreliable. So the emoire doesn’t invest in its common soldier. And we clearly see they don’t get much training, Honeslty the empire is made up of citizens that are down on their luck and got nothing else to do, or no other way to support their family. Look at Han from Solo... he just walks up and they take him in fast. |

I enjoyed this episode. It played out pretty predictably, but the characters were all interesting, and I liked seeing some glimpses of New Republic ships/ droids. The small bit with Filoni and Co. was a little awkward but kind of cool too.
Not really sure why they made the Twilek seem so much like a rip off Harley Quinn, but whatever, it worked within this episode. I wish Mando killed all the hunters, but it seems he's not quite as ruthless as others make him out to be.

I think if I'm ranking the episodes so far, I'd go something like:
The Sin
Chapter 1
The Prisoner
Sanctuary
The Child
The Gunslinger
Only the third episode has really been amazing, but the rest have all been pretty enjoyable for me.

Just saw this one and it was pretty entertaining. Definitely the best since The Sin. The setting definitely felt Star Wars-y though I’m not sure how well Bill Burr’s character fits into it. He just felt a bit too Earthly.
I did like when he was messing with the controls and trapping them though I think it went on for a bit too long. But it was definitely cool to delve more into Oberyn’s backstory and see characters from it. Again I’m not sure why he took this job in this first place but at least it feels necessary to the overall arc, unlike the last two episodes.

I’m probably just gonna refer to the first episode as “The Mandalorian.” That being said, I think my list lines up with yours. |
