I have to say, I'm still leaning more toward Beware of Doug's reaction than all of the positive ones out there. I'm somewhere in the middle. But that was not a *great* first episode. I still have plenty of enthusiasm, though...

A buddy of mine is convinced they're going to call back to the original Boba Fett design with an all-white suit at some point...

That is really cool. What a thrill for an extremely talented individual; glad he is getting recognition.

It felt like a pilot, it was enough to keep me interested... but yea, it wasn't amazing.

The acting will get better with Gina Carano...

I know some people didn't like the music because it wasn't very Star Wars, but I thought it had a very western/spaghetti western feel to it. I would like some Star Wars undertones, but I liked the different feel of it.

In a weird way, I almost liked it more because it was kind of 'meh' than if they would have totally blown out the story in first episode with all kinds of stuff and a 'holy **** that was awesome.'

To me it was kind of like 'okay, I'm digging this vibe, let's see what happens'

Yeah, I liked the vibe/tone for sure. And the overall story is cool. It just felt rushed to me for no reason. They could have easily made it an hour, provided a bit more context, and let it breathe just a bit more. Oh, well. We've at least got the setup out of the way...

Pretty much my thoughts, as well.

Pretty crazy how expensive it was to make given the duration of the show.

Star Wars theme would be good, those are the only pop culture jokes I don't have to explain to stew.

Haven't seen the reaction you're talking about (just jumped to the last page) but I thought the episode provided enough ground work and mystery to keep me interested, and my friend who has always like the Mandalorians enjoyed the lore included in the episode. I'm going with Filoni having heavy input on the lore there.

My problem with the episode is that I kind of felt on the second watch of the episode there was some wasted/inefficient use of time for the limited amount they had.

I though the first episode was meh. Some good visuals, some star wars nostalgia but that was about it. I hope it gets better. The story/acting were on par of bad Star Trek.

not-boba fett goes to exotic locale, fights monster immediately for absolutely 0 stakes, <something that reminds you of star wars>, not-fett says a few words, repeat

Also, you never realize how import music is to star wars until you hear it with forgettable music.

I thought when the Mandolarian grabbed the turret with his hook shot, jumped on it, and rained laser blasts all over the bad guys was a "holy **** that was awesome' moment.

But maybe that's just me.

If they were protecting Baby Yoda....were they really bad guys? Will be interested to see if we find out who its protectors were and if they try to get it back.

Just pulled it up. They are all hooded aliens with red or green spiky faces.

Are you sure they were protectors? Perhaps they were holding the baby hostage for some other purpose

What if Yoda Baby is already super powerful and he was using a jedi mind trick to FORCE the people to protect him?

I can't remember the species name, Weequay maybe, or klatooinian? Both were thugs for Jabba.
