The Mandalorian

Nice chase with the AT-ST, which looks like a creepy mix of a Tyrannosaurus and a Tripod here. That's all there was to it though, unfortunately. (30.11.2019)

If I'm to take this as a filler (and it’s regulation filler, unfortunately), it's a nice enough bit of nostalgia. But it's all wrapped up in the word nostalgia, because if I wasn't a SW fan and this was the first SW material of my life, I would have gotten NOTHING out of this episode. I was kind of hoping there would be a story embedded in this series, but so far it's the pulp fun/adventure of a good-hearted bandit and that's more than enough for me. Don't tell me it's running out of breath already. (06.12.2019)

Definitely a funnier episode that the previous 2. It added exactly 0% to the story, but the fine action almost from start to finish won me over. I chuckled twice ("I was not a stormtrooper!", Baby Yoda's "Saving Private Ryan" moment), a couple of nostalgic interjections. But if this is how the last 2 episodes continue, by which I mean the absence of any progress in the story, I'll be disappointed with season 1 overall. (16.12.2019)

An episode for Star Wars fans with all the trimmings. It got me on a cheap nostalgia kick, but the hunger for it was immeasurable. (29.11.2020)

A relative disappointment. The script was weak, the action was by no means exceptional or original. Above all, the reported 35-minute running time is a cheat, because if you subtract the opening recap and end credits, we're barely at 25 minutes. It drives toward an action-packed climax, which calms me some. (05.12.2020)
