Also the widening of the aspect ratio and the cut to Cobb's face with the slow push was just perfection.
52 minutes! (for the premiere, other episodes will be shorter)
It makes the same sound too.
Great episode. Though I'm surprised others loved it, since it was the exact same formula as the episodes of season 1 people didn't like, but with a bigger budget.
Visually it was insane, if they keep this up for the whole season my jaw is not gonna leave the floor.

I missed that one. What was it?
Episode Was amazing. Enjoyed the new take on the Krayt. They made sure to keep the head similar enough to older interpretations. Anakin's Podracer engine etc. lots of great little Easter eggs here and there. Felt like the old SWG days going Krayt hunting to find Krayt pearls for a lightsaber etc.
Some wild looking weapons Boba had at the end. I want him to confront Mando but seems like bad timing. He'd have had it way easier with the Marshall.
That was great. Much much better than the first season standalones imo. it was actually normal TV episode length (Hour long). Had a good primary guest star. and even though the story was a bit basic, it was really well executed. Feels like somehow the budget got an even further increase too. pretty happy with it. The episode kinda felt like Star Wars Monster Hunter.
Sam Hargrave (Extraction and MCU fight coordinator) was 2nd unit this season and you can really see the improvement in fight choreography.

If I had to bet,
I'd say at the very least he'd have a Black Series figure announced Monday.
I want a Vintage collection pack with him and his speeder.
I'm thinking the core concept of this season, is going to be Mando meeting all the other famous Mandos and Mando adjacents. Cobb -> Boba -> Rex/Clone -> Sabine -> Bo-Katan, something like that.
Nah. I'd give it a while.
Because Raylan motherfucking Givens would have iced him in a second
(or he only just now found him, maybe heard word of Mando landing again)
Okay, that was a really solid and entertaining episodes. And this is coming from someone who was lukewarm to the first season.
Solid adventure-of-the week story that had time to breathe, the right Star Wars atmosphere (something the first season sometimes missed imo) and it didn't have the 'filmed on a soundstage' effect some of the S1 episodes suffered from. Seems like it also helps to partner your dull, faceless protagonist with a good sidecharacter. Lots of fan service again, but mostly the good small winky kind, not the kind that draws all attention to itself.
Not to fond of the Boba reveal though. Really wish they would keep characters actually dead. Though I'm curious where they'll take it.
Let's hope the whole season can keep up to this level and doesn't turn into the uneven mess S1 was.

Its going to be interesting. Lucas was adamant Boba and Jango were not Mandalorians. Jango liked to sell himself as one but the leaders of Mandalor outright stated he was not one of them as well. Storygroup after purging legends said they were not Mandalorian too. Wonder if they are giving in now and making the Fetts Mandalorian. Would be odd because Filoni points out they are not Mandalorian in the set features for clone wars regarding building mandalore.
Nope Boba's equipment at the end was Tuscan Raider stuff
he had the stick thing and a cycler rifle
Also of note on rewatch of the scene he has the spur sound effect the mystery person in S1 had that Boba had originally.
I don't see them going back on that. Aside from Filoni being a strict "George is law" guy, it's an obvious source of conflict that's been clearly setup with this episode. In terms of broad storytelling utility, the whole Cobb side quest establishes Mando's strict traditionalist views on Mandalorian armor, believing it to be worth fighting to the death over preventing a non-Mando from wearing it, and provides Cobb as an honorable juxtaposition to Boba.
Clearly that there something between Jango and Almec. Obi1 make a face after hear like "Nah, I don't buy it"
Jango fight Mandalorian style, at least that means he was trained by some clan.
I never expected to see a Krayt Dragon in live action Star Wars, loved it! Hoped they would show its full size, but damn it was big regardless. Nice little touch to have the Tuskens go ham over the Krayt Dragon Pearl. Really really enjoyed this first episode (and that obviously was Boba Fett in the last shot).
