Finally! We got an episode where we see more crossover characters from the two major animated series. Seeing Bo Katan was refreshing and done very well in both writing and acting. Learning that Din Djarin is a "Child of the Watch" was a nice twist. In retrospect, it shouldn't be too surprising given the clip we see in season 1 where he's taken up as a child in the arms of a Death Watch mando, but still great to get clarification. Very excited to see where the next episode picks up from the end of this episode. Honestly my only critic is that it isn't longer. Would've been a 10/10 if they added ten or so more minutes to help the flow of the episode breathe easier. But a phenomenal chapter nonetheless.

The Heiress! As soon as I saw the title card I knew who they were referring to. No, I did not get Sabine but I got Bo Katan instead with an Ahsoka name drop. It's looking like Mando is going to get to meet her (Ahsoka) in the next episode, but if this show has shown me anything is that they always put a big "yield sign" between exciting episodes. So we might have to wait until episode 5 for some Ahsoka action. I hope I'm wrong. If you watched "Rebels" you already know what she's after (Bo Katan) and what her motives are. She's after The Dark Saber. Which means there's more Bo Katan to come in future episodes. Hats off to Katee Sackhoff, she played a very convincing Bo Katan. It was the perfect cast really. I commend the casting director for making such a perfect casting. Subsequently, this episode gave us a different look at Mandalorians. The ones we were used to, you know, before this show started. The ones who can actually take their helmets off. It was a nice change of pace and maybe one day we'll see Mando himself take off his helmet casually. In summary, all of the costumes were on point and so were the SFX. They nailed the Mandalorian armor. They look like they were plucked right out of the animated series. Absolute perfection! I'm really happy with the quality of this episode. They did not cheap out whatsoever. Now, is it just me or was there a little hint of hair dye on Sasha Banks character? Sabine is that you?

After a slower episode 2, this one is certainly thrilling. A surprise appearance by one Bo Katan was awesome to see. If you haven't seen "The Clone Wars" or "Rebels" you need to ASAP. Very funny moments with Baby Yoda and lastly, AHSOKA IS COMING.

This episode is filled with Clone Wars & Rebels references and I love it. First seeing Bo-Katan in live action and watching her mentioning Ahsoka Tano had me screaming. I would've love it more if they had longer runtimes instead of half-hour but beside this, it was nearly perfect.

This episode is bound to unite the fandom, right? I mean, it's following the main plot, it introduced a live-action Bo-Katan Kryze, it solved the ridiculous egg controversy, it explained the Mandalorian's no-helmet rule and fixed inconsistencies there, it name dropped Ahsoka and we got our first glimpse at Moff Gideon since last season. This episode is truly a love letter to fans of the animated shows and definitely won't be as enjoyable to those who haven't watched them, but for those of us that did, personally, I was blown away. Bryce Dallas Howard delivered us a meh episode last season but this one blows it out of the water. We are finally on-track for the main plot and I can't wait to see what comes next. Obviously, we will see Ahsoka soon. Will we see Rex? Or Sabine? I mean, after this episode, I have no idea.

OK, this was a shorter episode. Only 35 minutes with credits. But they crammed a lot in here that made me happy!

The first two episodes were both solid. I loved the first episode. It's an excellent stand-alone episode that's very much of the style of The Mandalorian. The second episode was definitely a filler episode, but it was a good filler episode. But this episode FINALLY gave us Bo Katan. In the first two episodes when he's searching for someone else of his kind, I knew it was Bo Katan that he was going to run into. And it was so great to finally see it come to fruition.

If you have no idea of who this character is, what her significance is, or why she's searching for the Darksaber (which we saw in season 1), I'm not going to spoon-feed you. Go watch Clone Wars and Rebels. Or read Wookiepedia. Is this just fan service they're throwing at us? Sure. But that's not always a bad thing, especially if it fits into the plot. This show is called "The Mandalorian." So it makes sense for other Mandalorians to show up. My only complaint with the show as a whole is it hasn't gone anywhere yet. If you're happy with nothing but episodic adventures with Pedro Pascal for the rest of this show, then fine. You're allowed to feel that way. But I've waiting for the story to go somewhere and expand the Star Wars lore. After spending so much time teasing us, I'm finally glad that we had this reveal and that we now have a solid direction.

Even if you don't know anything about Bo Katan, I still feel that this could be an entertaining episode. We have a trio of awesome Mandalorians that our protagonist joins and some fun action sequences as they take over the ship. My only complaint is that it could've been longer. This feels like 50 minutes of show that got squished into 35 minutes. So why not just make it 50 minutes? I thought the length of the first episode this season was perfect. I was hoping they'd all be like that. But oh well.

Finally, the other big reveal is that THEY FINALLY NAME-DROPPED AHSOKA!!!!! SHE'S COMING NEXT EPISODE!!!!!! Given the relationship that Bo Katan has with Ahsoka, when she told Pedro that she'll take him to a Jedi, we knew that she was referring to Ahsoka. But it was satisfying to get that official confirmation! No more of this nonsense of them dangling the rumors over our heads. We're getting Ahsoka, ladies and gentlemen!

OK, your acceptance of this will go back to the previous conversation. Is your enjoyment of this episode going to rely on your knowledge of Clone Wars and Rebels? Perhaps. But I don't care. Ahsoka became my favorite Jedi over the course of Clone Wars and Rebels. Yet they've never bothered to tell me where the frack she's been over the course of the original timeline. I want my answers and I don't care what the internet thinks. The idea that we might finally get the answers makes me pumped for next week! If you don't know who Ahsoka is, you're doing yourself a disservice. She's the greatest. And I can't wait for her live-action debut!

Before watching i noticed the run time...definitely was a let down. BUT...not so fast...if you were a fan of The Clone Wars and Rebels, strap yourselves in and prepare to make the jump to hyperspace!

******SPOILERS******* Rebels fans would be waiting for this moment, though I'm sure a lot of us were expecting Sabine Wren to show up before being treated to Bo Katan (played by the voice artist!) (only wish they'd have cast Ashley for Asokah...but i digress)!!! Some call this episode fan service, and i get that, however i see it as Filoni finding a way to finish a great story he began years ago. I'm hoping Ezra Bridger and Sabine Wren become apart of the series, and by extension...Thrawn! Don't expect them to rely on the cuteness of the Child to get the series through more than 3 seasons. I absolutely expect further Clone Wars and specifically Rebels references to be used more. Loving the new season! Can't wait for more!

BO-KATAN!!!!!! That entrance!!! And their combat actions!!!! Ufffff!!!!! Woah!!!!!! I wish they had more screentime!! And the imperial scenes were perfect! And the way her team fights them!!! I'm all down for a Bo-Katan standalone show!!!!! Take all my money!!!

I'm a bit surprised about the high ratings. How many times have we not heard "Help me do this and I'll help you", it's getting very repetitive. The way they butchered the stormtroopers, yawn. They are never in any real trouble. Also so easy to foresee what is going to happen. This show is overhyped unfortunately. It's good but not so much more.

Most people in this world and they are growing in number just want the same thing, comfort food, friends who all like the same thing, comfort music and comfort film and tv, hence the blind reverence to a show that so far has shown no purpose or story of any depth or note. what it has repeatedly done is have scenes and beats from the star wars canon. all the fights and chases just bad copies from the films and anmiation. as has been pointed out by some rightly critical comments, the shows have been going from a to b getting into trouble getting out of trouble finish. so we have had three episodes each getting shorter and shorter 50 odd minutes 40 odd minutes and now 30 minutes, by the end hopefully the last episode will be only 10 minutes that should do, as it will not have anything to say
