Meaning that you pointed out it's a different show with a different style, but yeah.
Exactly. In a way I would compare it very loosely to the Ahsoka episode, which for me also had a different aesthetic and tone to what I would *generally* expect from this show - which, again loosely, would be more like Episode 2, or the Krait dragon episode - if I had to generalize the Mandalorian.
This episode more, to me, like a slow burn mystery where something is off. Maybe. But you're not sure until the end.
There's a lot I appreciated.
Without feeling the raging need to watch again, or at least until things start coming to a focal point. At the moment tho I feel confident that Favreau, with long experience with knowing comic book films need that big end, is gonna do that, and is leaving bread crumbs all over the place. Which for me is fun.
Of course, there was that IMO not that interesting fight at the end of IM2, and then the lack-of-expression faces of the animals in Lion King
, so until this series is over, I won't know if I stayed happy or not. I trust no director, showrunner, or writer at this point.
(Look, I own TFA Rey and Kylo. I was convinced after TFA there would be a new era of SW and Finn's arc, among others, would be epic.
People like me get sucked in, and then a showrunner eats some gummy candy or whatever
and all of a sudden Palps is getting reconstituted from space dust.)
