It's great, but 27 minute episodes (8 total) is not cool.    I can't help but feel the bait and switch with subscribers who probably expected a full season like Netflix not an extended movie.   I hope it was just the first week since it was two episodes so we'll see.     Other than that, quality of the show is high.

I had no idea the second episode was so short it felt much longer to me

It really does look and feel like the original Star Wars, and it's great to see the Mandalorian image taken down a notch every time he's getting his butt kicked and needs some assistance. Finding out that Jawas were a galactic problem and not just a Tattooine problem was interesting, but the scenes all around the sandcrawler were a geek dream come true. The episodes are short but so full of detail you can watch then a couple more times and still enjoy them.

Man, I am LOVING it!  I'm watching the episodes multiple time and picking up new details.  There is so much depth in each scene.  Like looking at the costumes, the tools, the atmosphere.  It's such a great show!

I like that it's a pretty simple premise - Bounty Hunting.  Then you add the first big surprise, and it's not an immediate change, it's going to be gradual.  I am having so much fun because there's not the bloat and filler you get in many shows.  They just GO which is great!

I've only just started but I'm very happy. They did exactly what I hoped they would do but never imagined they would have the balls to do. They didn't make a "Star Wars" show, they made a show set in the Star Wars universe that explores a different part of it within the format of a different genre. If it weren't for the odd Gonk droid or R2 unit popping into frame, it could be any SciFi universe.

Mandalorian is a Western set in space, which is just amazing. I love genre-blending, and if you're making a show that pays homage to Boba Fett, it simply HAS to be a western. Boba Fett was based on the Man with No Name, and Ben Burtt, the Star Wars sound designer, added the sound of Spurs Jangling when he walked in the Cloud City scenes.

So a story of a lone gunslinger getting into adventures in the seedy frontiers of the Star Wars universe is exactly what the show needed to be.

And I can't believe that's exactly what the show is.

I got little kid chills watching the first episode. Can't wait to see more!

      Another Guard?? Small ball was just a meme right?????   Again can anyone confirm Kon had more than 2 dunks for the season?? I watched more highlights and saw lots of layups. Did see one thunder dunk tho...   Jeff just needs to finish this off-season with a guard package trade for a PF/C. Call Portland, that's a start!

      XL treatment is in the top 5 What The Fuccks for the the huddle. It just happens that the 32nd team and 33rd team GMs knew each other very well. Panthers viewed the 5th year option as being worth a late 6th and a trade was made to make XL a 1st rounder.  He had injuries in OTAs, mini camp and TC. Like others had more injuries in season and just kept playing. Half the season was bad BY and dalton. He still had 500 yds, 5 TDs, and like 45 recs.  Just super weird the treatment. BTW people love to focus on the bad plays, but there was only one WR that caught a TD on the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year, can you guess who that was?? By many accounts the Pats wanted XL badly and had to select Polk instead, there's strong rumors that Polk is either going to be cut or traded for a 2078 7th rounder. Panthers could have easily been in this situation if not for the Bills allowing the trade up. It pays to have friends.... I feel XL will force some fans to plates of raccoon as he develops. (please stay healthy)
