    Almost perfect

    My only complaint is that the episode is too short.

    THIS is how you DO Star Wars!

    This episode excited me as a Star Wars fan. Just when I had given up on Disney making good Star Wars, I have a New Hope! I want a baby yoda merch! With a floating crib to follow me everywhere.

    Jawas!

    Great seeing the inner workings of the jawas! Another great episode and reveal near the end. GReat blend of practical effects and CGI.

    Now that, thankfully, Damb and Damber are out of the picture, give Favreau the KOTOR trilogy yesterday!

    Is this even Disney???? No agentas, a badass character, nice story, chemistry between the protagonists, incredible production values and good old star wars feeling with all the yoda baby, droids, jawas stuff! Damn it Disney, why did you ruin Star Wars when you obviously could deliver an incredible sequel trilogy??? WHY? If you like the real, George Lucas, original movies, forget Rise of Skywalker, this is your big thing! I have spoken!

    Amazing Episode. My Only wish is it was longer

    This was an amazingly crafted episode. From start to finish it didn't waste time. There is no filler here, just good story telling. The music, the pacing, the action. Everything was on point. My only problem was that the episode itself was only around 27 minutes. This was perfect for the story it told, but I am worried that each episode is going to be short like this. I want more. Much, much more. Especially with only 8 episodes to the first season.

    • Trivia
      The Child (or baby Yoda) is a practical effect and not CGI, carrying on with the original saga of Star Wars. Animatronics are used to give a more authentic performance. However, there are exceptions. For example, it's CGI when The Child chases and eats the frog creature.

      When the Mandalorian throws a Jawa out of the window of the sandcrawler, the falling CGI Jawa doesn't hit the ground, but just disappears.
