So this week's episode of #TheMandalorian was fine. Not great. The Grogu Order 66 flashback was the best part. Thrilled to see Ahmed Best take the spotlight like that. He deserves the world. (Also nice to see Naboo security forces doing their part ... perhaps Jar Jar sent them?)
As for the stuff at the Mando covert, it was fairly boring. Especially the rescue sequence. I felt like I was supposed to care about that kid and I just ... didn't. Felt like a waste of time. Could have established Bo-Katan's team spirit more economically.
Also, I remain amazed that these elite warriors haven't either set up better perimeter security or relocated. Creature attacks are clearly a recurring problem for them. What are they thinking?
The scene about taking off the helmets to eat was funny, though. Felt a little bit like a poke at the fans who still don't get how the rule works. Reddit has been full of questions about its applicability to various...situations.
I did enjoy seeing Grogu start his Mandalorian training. I wonder if we'll see more of that and get glimpses into how he integrates Jedi training into it. But I doubt they're going to make him a warrior any time soon. Doesn't fit his role on the show.
I like that Bo-Katan seems to be getting used to life at the covert. I didn't expect her to open up to the Armorer about seeing the mythosaur. If word of that spreads, will she gain prestige? Would she want that?
