    It was pandering and derivative of the OT. Felt like 'more of the same.' All I ever wanted was a simple space adventure and that's what I got. It's not rocket science to create stories in this setting. Loved it. 10 out of 10 from me. (yoda 2)

    Will there be a scene where the Mandalorian has baby Yoda on his back?

    To bring balance to the fandom we need this (pandering) and some of Rian Johnson’s risky business.

    I believe the Whills have been identified as a different species...in the Clone Wars cartoon...don't quote me on that. But if I'm right this is an opportunity to actually identify Yoda's species if they are indeed a seperate species from the Whills. Either its pretty awesome.

    In that very moment was when baby Yoda was conceived.

    I have to say, I liked it A TON more on second viewing (and first I liked it fine, just was nitpicky)

    I have to say, I enjoyed it the first time, but yeah the second time I thought it was even better. I was so excited the first time I missed the music. The second time I was able to concentrate (probably because when I first watched it the coffee hadn't yet totally woke me up), and I was really impressed. The call backs, the little details... Wow. The music was perfect. I was super impressed with what Jon F. and Dave F. came up with. I hope the series continues to live up to this standard.

    Yoda actually will be dead. Mando takes place after ROTJ.

    Yoda is Force Ghost:

    Did he watch the same episode as we did?

    "So, the big spoiler that Disney claimed necessitated them hiding The Mandalorian from critics until Disney+’s launch day is… no big deal. No, I’m not going to reveal it, but it’s mostly an amusing surprise and not remotely the kind of reveal/event that would justify both hiding the show from critics or hyping it up. It’s also not the kind of thing that critics would have revealed in their pre-release reviews, because that’s generally not how we operate. But the most important “spoiler” in regard to the first episode of the new live-action Star Wars television show, is that it’s not all that good."

    Really enjoyed it!

    Wasn't as long as I was expecting and didn't really break many new boundaries but it was really enjoyable all the same.

    Looking forward to seeing more and seeing where they take it.

    Pretty strong start.

    Yes, it did, and even moreso on second viewing because that is when I let my automatic nitpicking program relax. First viewing, I was enthralled, hyper critical, and after watching couldn't wait to see again and also see next episode.

    Feloni is better at Star Wars than Lucas himself.

    I really enjoyed it, the feeling I mostly felt was Joy as it was something new but also very familiar with so many references.

    I just wish it was longer than 36/38 minutes as going by the first episode it stands on its own very well.

    I can’t get Disney+ in my country but funny enough I found a site earlier that had a stream that I can share with you - simply so you also can report the site in question to the proper authorities also.

    If you wish to help take the website in question down feel free to PM me.

    Now for sure we're going to get force lore. The question is now will we see a lightsaber?
