I am blown away by this show so far, every episode keeps getting better and better. So many parts of this show just sent chills up my spine. From the return of the classic CIS from the clone wars (super battle droids are way more horrific and genocidal then I remembered them) to the mandalorians coming in and kicking jet pack-fueled ass, this show has been everything I've wanted in a Star Wars show. Grit. This is what makes Star wars so unique compared to other sci-Fi properties, and the series has lost its way in this regard for a long Time. This show, and this episode in particular, brought me back into the world that defined my childhood and adolescence, and I couldn't be more happy. I have spoken

At the helm directing this episode is the wonderful Deborah Chow(she's going to be directing the Obi-Wan series btw) and let me just say she didn't disappoint. The buildup in the first 20 minutes of the show is masterfully paced and eventually leads to the climax action scene that's choreographed perfectly and filled with emotion. This was the best episode of the series that seems to top itself with each episode. I can't wait till next Friday.

I never write reviews, usually I find someone else that shares my opinion and that's enough. But how does no one else find this a little...eh.

These first three episodes have just been video game cut scenes with some John wick copying action. He finds baby Yoda then spends an episode getting his ship repaired by going on side quest after side quest.

When he finally gives up the bounty he uses his earnings to up his armour and weapons. That's video game! He's already pretty unstoppable, let's make him shiny! Also how underwhelming was his little bird missiles. A build up to that?

The other mandalorians coming to save him wasn't earned. A Deus ex machina for sure. So far I couldn't tell you what the plot is besides his literal missions. I don't know what the character wants, what the stakes are or why I should care. That's beginner story writing.

I think everyone is going bananas for this show because it is safe. It's giving you the scenery, non light sabre fight scenes, CGI mixed with puppets and everything else the prequels weren't.

At least the prequels had a plot going after and hour and a half.

I reckon once some sort of twist or plot point actually comes into play you'll be seeing a lot less 10/10's.

As for right now, I'm hate watching a show that I really wanted to like

The acting . Visuals. The music. All of it. The storyline is so good. Absolutely blown away. This episode is by far better than the first two. So far, this show is just getting better and better. Also the whole relationship between the baby yoda and the mandalorian is amazing.

What more can I say? Great visual storytelling, incredible practical effects, classic gunfights & badass gear & cool nods to a New Hope including live-action stuff from The Prequels ! With an Amazing ending sequence, this really kicks off this season and shows you what this snow will really be. Enjoy.

The conflicted Mandalorian violates his bounty hunter code and goes on a rescue mission with grave consequences.

The Sin is another strong instalment as Mando grapples with giving the baby of his last bounty over. Director Deborah Chow's offering oozes atmosphere of the fallen Empire and hints of the new Republics lack of reach and power to bring peace to the galaxy. In the third episode Mando shoots, stabs, electrocutes, burns and explodes his way through Stormtroopers and bounty hunters like butter.

The sets and special effects here are first rate, the narrative is strong and the action comes thick and fast. It also spends time to explore the Mandalorian's culture and beliefs and fans are treated to a great shootout in the closing act with help from his armoured friends.

Carl Weathers gets a little more screen time. More trilogy Star Wars sub-characters appear which is a joy for fans. Packed with nods, the Empires science devision hark back to Rogue One, IT-O Interrogator droid from New Hope, glimpse of an order 66-like purge and even a battle droid from the prequel films to name a few.

Overall, the series goes from strength to Mandalorian forged beskar armour strength, successfully expanding the Star Wars universe.

The first two episodes build up a beautiful world and interesting characters. On episode 3 interesting characters are thrown aside to force the plot forward.

From the first two episodes we see a character based around loyalty and honesty. He has a job to do, and he's solely interested in that job. He's thrown that all aside for a child who he should have no problem forgetting about based on his character.

The build-up led to no reward since it's illogical. There was no reasoning for him to do what he did which completely ruined all of what the mandalorian stands for as they're trying to represent it as. "For us" - yet he completely ruined their entire hideout. They all show up to save him which is also illogical. He broke the code against the bounty hunters AND his own people. Is there any consequences? No.

He flies away happily ever after. I'm not buying it, but I'm interested. A great show turned into something very Disney... and for that, I don't respect it nor do I enjoy their formulaic plot. But is it enjoyable? Yes. Is it logical? No.

And I like having both.
