Critical reaction
The episode currently holds a 87% Fresh rating on the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes. Chaim Gartenberg of The Verge said that the episode isn't only a great start for the series, but the best proof that the Star Wars universe can lead to compelling content not suitable for children nor needing to feature Luke Skywalker to attract the viewer's attention. Charlie Ridgely of ComicBook.com rated the episode 4 out of 5, praising the series' darker and grittier take of the galaxy and Pedro Pascal's performance.
