    I was waiting for Mando to say "You're no daisy...you're no daisy at 'tall!"

    Great episode. I was impressed with how they pulled off Dawson's look. I thought it may look a bit silly, but it didn't.

    The Baby Yoda/The Child backlash is really old at this point. I love how the masses turn on something just because it gets popular.

    Although his name reminds me of an old Lee/Kirby/Ditko giant monster from the pre-Marvel, Atlas days.

      Yes, the show really "gets" that Star Wars is a samurai Western in space. I thought the episode was really well done.

      *spoilers for those who have not seen this episode yet*

      Plus... not to repeat myself... but if Ahsoka is back (!) and Thrawn is back (!!! I totally squee'd at his mention)... then I'd bet my beskar that Ezra Bridger is going to be the Jedi who answers the call to train the Child.

        As long as it's not Luke Skywalker. We all know what happened to his students.

          Or Obi-Wan (Anakin) or Yoda (Dooku)... come to think of if, Anakin may be the only example of a "good" Jedi master in Star Wars canon.

                  I think everyone thinks he's cute, myself included.

                  So amazing what they've been able to do with the practical effects for him.

                      This week's episode, "The Tragedy"... WOW!
                      Seriously... certain scenes resulted in jumping out of the chair, cheering and fist pumping reactions.
                      This is the way!

                        I liked the episode, and there's a character in it who comes off well to me. I've actually generally been mixed on that guest character, having really liked him when he first appeared, but I have felt like he's become overused. This episode made good use of him, so I feel a little different at this point. Once we're past spoilers, I'd be interested in how others feel about him and how well the show has pulled different characters in. I've not followed the animated series as much, so I have been fine with some of the inclusions without necessarily coming with lots of expectations for them.

                              I also was saying wow!

                              I felt that was a solid episode.

                              It amazed me.

                              That is what I call pleasing.

                              It all seemed just right.

                                My grandson keeps mispronouncing his name like that. LOL. What a great series this has been. I don't think I picked my jaw off the ground after the 15 minute mark with episode six.
