Again, episode was average which pretty much explains the show so far..average. Some of you are saying that if it wasn't 'Star Wars' then we wouldn't even be paying attention, some of that may be true but it also works the other way. It's held to a certain standard because it's Star Wars despite it not being a movie. I still think Mando looks way inexperienced for being a bounty hunter. He's even gets strong armed in negotiations, even with a dude who's begging him to help him get into the guild.

I was referring more towards the end once they get her, he basically gets told that he's the one that has to get an extra ride.

kids attention span, its been shown that a 10 year old has a 22-28 min attention span before they lose focus. This is aimed squarely at that 8-12 year old range

Just read an article about who actually PLAYS the Mandalorian. Apparently it's two stuntment and Pedro Pascal, but for the 4th episode, Pedro Pascal was on Broadway so he wasn't ever i the suit.
The neat thing is one of the stuntmen who plays him is John Wayne's grandson.

Looks great? The 4K HDR stream can barely even manage 200 nits peak brightness. Fake HDR on the original trilogy on Disney+ was bad enough on something that old, but even that peaked at 400 nits. Mandalorian being brand new and looking this shitty is inexcusable.

He's an orphan so his birth parents have to end up being revealed as someone very important, right? Maybe they end up being a villain or something?

Why don't we think he is a Yoda clone? The age 50 years lines up with the timeline of when they were working with Jango Fett and making the clone armies. The scientist from the first two episodes is wearing the uniform from Kamino, the cloning planet.
Yoda would probably have not let himself be willingly cloned, thus the secretive nature of this kids existence, and him being a high value target. They would likely be after a clone that had the same level of force sensitivity as the host, which might be challenging and very rare to produce in a clone. The kid could be special, 1 in a million type of clone and the rest were disposed of.

It is odd they keep bringing up his orphan status, it mirrors Rey. Maybe she was a foundling too.

i think it's basically a given that baby yoda is a clone. for NO other reason than the people who are currently in charge of star wars CANNOT HELP but link everything to the trilogies. solo was a decent movie but the whole thing was basically just references to the OT strung together one after another. mandalorian has a ton of references but i'm honestly surprised at the amount of restraint they've shown by not putting more in.
it really feels like the people behind it all have no faith in the IP, so they have to link EVERYTHING together. i think a lot of people would really enjoy a show focused on a bounty hunter just going about doing his job every week that happens to be in the universe of star wars.

This is Star Wars, man. Everyone and their cousin are orphans. I guess that's why Anakin and Luke were such twats. They never got any cool toys for Christmas; just cheap video game consoles, wool socks, and regifted Isotoner gloves.
