I liked this episode. It actually had energy and a sense of tension. Incredible VFX work. Some needed personality for Mando and cute moments for baby Yoda.

The Mandalorian - Season 2 |OT| Wherever I go, he goes [SPOILERS ON EPISODE DROP]
- Thread starter WadiumArcadium
- Start date
- OT
To br fair, the episode where it happened was never completed. It was just revealed through the unfinished pre-production scene in that youtube clip.
It is kind of hilarious that production staff on AotC had to remind George that Boba Fett's helmet had a dent in it, and that's why there was a shot of Jango hitting his head, only for Clone Wars to then go and blow his helmet up, so they had to create a new origin for Boba's armor.
Well it never actually aired or was finished, it was originally going to be part of season 7 before Disney bought Star Wars and then cancelled Clone Wars.
When they brought Clone Wars back the arc wasn't as far along the others(along with an Anakin and Obi-Wan murder mystery arc) so they left it out of the final season.
It was a bit weird how they played that final egg for laughs while it seemed more fucked up to me. Baby yoda eating babies
(Okay not really but each of those eggs would have turned into a baby)
Baby Yoda eating the eggs wouldn't have been so bad if they didn't make it known that she is the last of her species. So baby Yoda basically committing genocide.
She is not the last of her species. These are the last eggs of her cycle, so that last opportunity to continue her family line. Still not great, but not as bad.
This is very generously put.
The actual plot progress on the mentioned bigger story took up maybe two to three minutes of the season so far. No progress on the villains either. No sight of Giancarlo Esposito. Nothing of the kind.
There also hasn't been any kind of significant character progress for our two main characters either. Both Mando and Baby Yoda are the same characters after these two episodes that they were at the end of last season.
Given we are already 25% into this story, that is very disappointing to say the least.
Pretty unlikely, but who knows. Most surviving Lasat probably would have gone back to Lira San by this point. I wouldn't mind seeing Zeb played by Andy Serkis though!
I don't think she's the last of her species. I think those are just the last of her eggs. So Baby Yoda is just killing off the family line.
Yeah, and i can't blame for the eggs since i love em too
Space spiders though...
I think this is very similar to Young Indiana Jones Chronicles and I suspect that some of the DNA from that is found here.
"Adventurer getting into scraps on a weekly basis whilst touching upon famous points in time (famous Star Wars lore in this case)."
Also...was getting strong Alien/Facehugger vibes in this episode....then he just eats the thing lol
This doesn't seem like a story focused series to me. Finding the Jedi is now just the premise to tell one off comic book adventure stories. There's not going to be an 'ending' until it starts to tank in ratings.
As a fan of Star Trek, I'm really digging this show taking an episodic approach. Sometimes its a miss for me (i.e. the seven samurai homage and bill burr episodes in the first season) but I enjoy seeing the insight into the more "mundane" corners of this universe. I enjoyed this episode alone for the fact that the writers must have just said, "wonder if we could make a frog alien kindda cool?" Although all the spider stuff was a bit lame. Not necessarily a bad escape sequence but its crazy how much this show feels like playing a video game at times.
Super fun episode. As soon as the child started looking at those eggs in the cave, I was thinking "oh, Jesus. Filoni, please don't tell me that you're bringing over the spiders from Rebels..."
Also, seriously impressed with both the effects in the second half, and the genuine tension they were able to generate.

Chapter 9 was the absolute best anyone can hope from non Legends Star Wars, it was just perfect and that MF dropped a Krayt Dragon
Chapter 10 served to undermine Din's capacities, if he had just chilled he could have talked with those X Wing pilots, even though they were acting like space cops they were New Republic cops, so it's cool. It was pointless how dude just went haywire just to escape any authority that doesn't come with a bad ass helmet. He is definitely a complicated character, and his love for the Kid leads him to dismiss his blatant eating of the Frog Lady's spawn.

It blows my mind that people don't realize this.
We're Dr. Kimble looking for the One Armed Man.
It was a great way to underscore how different the Empire and New Republic are. We've seen the Empire's bully tactics many times with Imperial forces, but not really how the New Republic operates in a similar scenario. And also, it showed how former Imperial-aligned factions operate within these new rules.
The New Republic pilots did everything they could to avoid hurting anyone, and went out of their way to save the day. They're the antithesis of the Empire--it's a better galaxy under the New Republic.
So you have a source for this?
If legit maybe we finally get to see Bo-Katan in this episode...

Watched the first two episodes last night and I enjoyed them. Love the episodic style.
So glad the lady and her eggs survived. I was really worried for a second lol. The sequence with the X-wings was great too.

What if Snoke is talking to him and Palpatine is trying to groom him?!?!?!
