Because it’s nothing crazy.Just surprised that Twitter or others aren't all up in arms on how Baby exhibited a force power that wasn't in the original movies.. like Force Projection was in Last Jedi..

you guys are going to hate me but that was the only part of the episode I didn't like.. aside form Apollo creed's line that was something like : I was going to betray you, but now that that happened, /I won't"Just surprised that Twitter or others aren't all up in arms on how Baby exhibited a force power that wasn't in the original movies.. like Force Projection was in Last Jedi..
Stop disparaging yourself.
you haven't been around I guess.. they hate me anyway
They don’t hate you. You’re overreacting.
They dislike your opinions.
I liked the way they built up that chase with Kuiil moving slow but with a lead cut with the speeder bike's in pursuit. The way the pilots were lounging on the bikes seemed right out of a western as well, they just needed a big hat tilted down over their eyes.
The original SW films had a few western tropes snuck in there, but this show makes fresh use of them. Some people might call it a rip-off but I don't.. I think it's simple and effective as a way to kind of pay tribute to the genre. Like even the episode titles are very one-word western kind of titles.
I liked a lot about this episode.
- That Mando knew going back was indeed a dumb idea, but he felt he had to take the chance if he wanted the kid to have a life.
- That it in fact WAS a trap.
- That Mando isn't perfect (far from it) in that if he hadn't done the radio call, those two speeder bike Troopers wouldn't have gone after the child when they did.
- That Mr. "I have spoken" in fact didn't make it to the ship in time and was killed and Yoda was taken. (IE - We didn't have the tired meme of him making it to the ship 'just in time' and either being able to hold the two Troopers off, or some 'heroic' battle he ultimately looses. Mando screwed up and he paid the price. I really hope he stays dead (not because I dislike the character - far from it in fact); but just because something like that would really ground the series and show actions (good, bad, and dumb) have consequences.
- We finally get an actual (and somewhat gripping) cliffhanger in this show.

It was effective. In fact I LOVE the uggnaught character and that I cared about him so much and that it MATTERED that he died I think makes his death the most effective in SW in terms of really making the context around it interesting since Obi-Wan's death
Having avoided articles and such so that I wouldn't inadvertently have anything spoiled, I didn't even realize that Kuiil was supposed to be an Ugnaught until this episode, since he lacked the comical mannerisms and pig squealing and grunting of previous Ugnaught appearances. It might have been hard to take him seriously if he had been depicted in that manner.

I wasn't that surprised, we already saw him use The Force to protect Mando when he was fighting the mudhorn, this was the same thing. He thought Cara was attacking Mando and he tried to stop her.
What I got a kick out of was the difference between The Client's Stormtroopers vs Gideon's. The Client's were dirty, and we saw them just kind of standing around casually as they went into the town, but then Gideon's were spotless, and much more professional.
It did nothing for me. You could see it coming a mile away.
sure you could see it coming. My point is that the character was a great character and I actually cared about him.
I wasn't invested in him, at all.
Its been that way for me for all the characters thus far.
Those would be the unemployed Conferderate soldiers, now mercenaries, post-Civil War in a western. I was really enjoying those two. Except it's odd they keep wearing helmets in their off hours. Or even armor, unless there's blasters happenin at any moment's notice.
