Got some thoughts about Friday's #TheMandalorian episode, but first: Disney shouldn't have hired an actress who was sued for transphobic harassment.
The lawsuit was dismissed, but that doesn't necessarily mean much when the defendant is a celebrity.
Avoidable blunder here.

Transgender people endure constant abuse simply because of who they are, and Disney/Lucasfilm's refusal to even acknowledge their anger is a disappointing act of corporate cowardice that casts doubt on their oft-stated commitment to inclusion.
Transgender SW fans deserve better.

As for the episode, I really liked how Favreau and Filoni adapted Ahsoka for live-action — probably one of their most challenging tasks so far, given fan expectations. She looked great, and I loved how she moved like a wraith during the fight scenes. Overall, very impressive.
Obviously, though, it's hard to feel *too* excited about the impressiveness of what we saw onscreen given what happened offscreen.
This is a good time to thank and appreciate @HerUniverse, who indelibly defined Ahsoka in ways that will resonate no matter who plays her in other formats. Ahsoka wouldn't have become such a fan favorite without Ashley's original performance.
An ep highlight: Baby Yoda, or should I say Grogu. Wasn't expecting that!
I loved the scene of Mando and Ahsoka testing his abilities. He just wanted the shiny ball!
I can't wait to learn more about him. It seems he's more aware and mature than we realized. What has he seen?

Finally: THRAWN!
I know some people thought that the mention felt clumsy, and if it was just a throwaway line, I'll agree.
But I hope it's a tease of an upcoming mini-series with (recast) Ahsoka and Sabine searching for Ezra.
Speaking of which, where is Sabine at this point?
