Fantastic. Dave Filinoi, John Favreau, and everyone else who worked on this project deserves a round of applause.
I loved how personal this story feels. It really is about a lone Mandalorian bounty hunter. He’s skilled enough to be feared and command respect. He has an awesome ship. We even got glimpses of a tragic past and his vulnerable empathy. He has motives other than money.
The set pieces, cinematography, and various alien characters were all incredibly well-done, and I enjoyed the development of this world of John Wick bounty hunting that really hasn’t been explored in Canon yet.
The Baby Yoda was a definite surprise, but a pleasant one. I would totally be on-board if this were an escort-protection plot with the Mando fighting off bad guys trying to hurt that little guy.
And the shoot out at the compound was awesome, it felt like something out of Uncharted.
I can’t believe I am fortunate enough to experience the first live-action Star Wars TV series ever. I am super excited for the next episode, and think we are in for something truly special as the show progresses.
