This is what I DON'T want.

ok so the last one is a hope more than a know but whatever.

I'd set the over/under about about 5% on this and I'd take the under.

Five years after the fall of the Empire, people aren't going to talk about the Empire?
In the giant space port right next to where Luke grew up, they're not going to know about Beggar's Canyon, or see Sand People?

As long as this is about people outside of our I-IX saga living their non I-IX lives, I'm fine with mentions and callouts.

I liked the second ep better than the first. I’m fully onboard with the main theme music. The rest is pedestrian. I think my expectations going in were too high in terms of the narrative and thus I’m left a bit wanting at the story being told thus far, i.e. “when is this show going to kick into high gear?” The stakes feel too low. I’m probably judging it too harshly and need to give it time to develop.

Each episode is better than the last. I liked the score throughout in E3. Agree with everything durdencommatyler said. Action sequences are good but clunky. I expect Mandos to fight at Jason Bourne speed. They all moved like overweight chonks with jetpacks. WHEN CAN I BUY THE ALL-BESKAR MANDO ACTION FIGURE?

I enjoyed this ep but it was not an improvement. I'm still struggling to reconcile my expectations and desire for higher stakes with what we're being given (though I recognize high stakes may be right in front of our faces with Baby Yoda and what his existence could mean). I'm in love with the theme song. Gina Carano is not good at acting. The script isn't doing her any favors either. The bar server's performance made Gina Carano look like Meryl Streep (FYI: that was Josh Gad's wife).

It’s clearly designed to make you think that. Which is exactly why it isn’t.

I reckon it’s Luke.

Cad Bane
