Finally we get some suspense and real stakes - Moff Gideon attempting to eradicate the Mandalorians is quite a statement.
The SFX were superb in this episode - besides the scenes on the "dune ship" wich looked like the studio shots of Errol Flynn pirate movies.
However.
In Kathleen Kennedy Star Wars NOTHING matters. No matter what is achieved, it is getting reversed in the next episode.
Why did they spend two seasons to get Grogu to Luke and capture Moff Gideon just to undo that moments later?
Not even talking about the Sequels that undid everything from the originals, including Han Solos entire arc.
Shoving Grogu into this season obviously has only one reason: He is the only "new" Star Wars character that actually sells merchandise.
That is very likely the reason why they can't make him talk - at FIFTY years of age!
Now, if Yoda was "the wisest of all Jedi" (although clearly outsmarted by Luke in ROJ) because he was "900 years old" but his species develops so slowly that they can't even speak or properly walk at fifty, this is just plain stupd. Even if you assume that they develop at 1/10th the speed of humans, Grogu should have the level of a 5 year old - and I have never met anyone at that age who could not utter even a word.
The New Republic is even more stupid than the republic of the prequels - indulged in pointless bureaucracy and unable to supervise former high profile imperial officers or extremely dangerous prisoners.
Luke is on some planet finding his inner center and the entire leadership of the rebellion that knows exactly how to defeat the empire, including its remnants, have become useless and where is Mon Mothma??
Bottom line: Kennedy Star Wars is deeply insulting.
