Chapter 5: The Gunslinger

I am starting to become a bit impatient with this show. No relevant plot points were touched in this episode again. The show feels now like it is aiming more towards kids than adults, because of its length, simplicity and the fact that little knowledge is required to follow every episode. Baby Yoda still steals the show and we did get to know Mando a tiny bit better. Also the visuals in this episode are a pure dedication to the first trilogy. However, the story is spread very thin and most side characters are only temporary. I would welcome some more depth. It is like I am watching a video game sometimes with these quests and bounties, armor upgrades etc.

So many references, I was amazed of how many things I could recongnize

What is happening? Did they blow all the budget and creativity on the first three episodes just to get people to sign up to Disney+ and hope that would be enough?

Sure, there are some nice scenes visually, but plot, characters and acting feels flatter than the Tatooine dune sea and less lively than the Jundland Wastes.

Wasn't a great episode, but it wasn't bad. It had character development, it had some action and some funny dialogue, such low scores should be for bottom of the barrel shows that don't look good, don't sound good and are just terrible, which this episode certainly was not.

When i watched the third episode I was relieved knowing that we can finally have some decent star wars plot to enjoy. But boy oh boy things really turned south with the last two episodes. Basically two thing: 1. the acting of Gina Carano and Jake Cannavale is just crigne worthy 2. Story goes nowhere and there isnt enough plot to these episodes to make them stand alone. My hope fades ,but deep down I wish it will work in the end.
