The best parts of the show (of course) being the action. This episode feels more like a setup than a actual mandalorian-esque episode. Though even the action scenes (for lack of a better word) feel silly. There are some scenes where the character's faces just look off, something about them isn't right. There's also no crazy grogu-esque character or plot-point reveal like Mando (not that they needed one, it something similar would be great to raise this episode up to a higher standard). This episode is definitely shaping big character reveals in the future. This show has potential and with the right execution definitely can meet or exceed the high bar set by The Mandalorian. My last point is the shotty CGI (I don't know what to call it other than that), especially with enemy design (mainly the "surprise" at the end of the episode). This show also feels very nostalgia-bound, with many cuts and settings feeling like they come straught out of the 1977 original. This could be a problem in the future if the show is too bound on nostalgia than the actual plot.

Overall:
Pros
Great set-up episode with many plot points to explore.
Shows the shows potential
Good Action
Good callbacks
Cons
Wacky CGI/action.
Not many interesting developments
Doesn't feel like a full episode
7.3/10… Expand
