Well... OK, first, it was not as bad as I feared. That does NOT MEAN GOOD!
Thankfully it had much more Cad Bane than I thought. Love Cad Bane. Love his voice, his expressive mouth, and his snarl. He's just the best Star Wars villain in a long time. A LONG time. His death, although quick, was fine. Boba's amazing get-off-the-floor move to kill him was ridiculous.
And that is kind of the show. Things are just ridiculous. But its Star Wars... so its OK -- this has to be what Rodriguez tells everyone. "Don't worry, I'll make 'em love it, they'll be eating this up."
Hack director gives hack show.
I liked the Rancor/Robot smack-down.
Baby Yoda is always welcome. Maybe my favorite scene was the last one -- tapping on the window to go faster. Those two (Mando and Grogu) just work. And if that's the best scene, that tells you all you need to know about the interest in the show.
Cad Bane and Grogu rock. The Mando rocks. Everything else is degrees of fail or misuse.
Still wish the Tusken's Black Wife came back to do her crazy attack thing, and pop her head up out of a hole mid-battle.
