Have finally caught up with this show so I can have a say, hooray!
It's.... overall very watchable. In some areas its very good / great, but in others it's simply OK.
The world and exploring of the universe is definitely the strongest part of it. Really cool to see the less shiny and grittier parts of the universe. Cool set up. Pleasing humour at times. Some great (albeit shallow) characters. There is a lot of "dumb" but that's fine and I'm quite partial to a nice slab of pleasing "dumb". A minor gripe is that Gustavo Fring really needs to **** off, he is all over the place playing the same character and it's just annoying.
My only major gripe is that there is absolutely no character development or intriguing conflict, at all. Never have you had to go "hmm what are they going to do?" or "oooo that's tricky". So I'm not supremely invested in it. I don't really watch many TV shows but I tend to hold them to a much higher standard than films because they are much longer and I feel they really have to justify their length.
As for the most recent episode, it did baffle me a little whilst watching. So we had a showdown with Boba Fett and our hero, where they were holding baby Yoda to ransom - they agreed not to harm him. Then at the end of the episode, they decided that they would extend the deal so that they would help return baby Yoda to Mando from the empire. What?! Did I just miss a whole chunk of dialogue (quite possible) or is that an extremely strange turn of events?
Not a huge fan of generic 'death robots' and persistently useless storm troopers, but I can still have a fun time with it.
