Before I take in the new Episode like everyone online who watches it the second it appears online, let me refresh myself (and you) on what happened last time...
That Planet has some dangerous company though...
Not knowing anything about the woman (and not trusting Jedis), he meets with the bad people in charge of the Town.
They want him to kill her. Will he?
Instead, he needs her help to understand The Child/Baby Yoda. She can help him...to a point.
Of course, she wants something in return.
All-out battle ensues (of course!) and sides are clearly chosen.
Who will come out on top? Will The Child find a new home?
To find out, stream the Episode now.
A good Episode sure to please lots of fanboys, fangirls and fan-people. See- I'm inclusive. As someone who didn't watch The Clone Wars, this isn't quite the same deal to me. I get why it is, of course- I just don't have the same connection. That said, seeing a bad-ass Jedi is still always good. Fans were a bit wary of Rosario Dawson here when it was announced, but I like her here. Again- I can't compare her to the Show. On its own, this performance is really good and she really has that atmosphere. It is helped by the great make-up work and special effects here. One thing that I think really helped is having Dave Filoni on hand as the Director. He's worked on much of the ancillary Star Wars stuff like Rebels, The Clone Wars and the like. He's got a feel for everything, so it all works. The Plot sets up a nice Samurai Film-style Duel which is one of the things that the Star Wars Series emulated early on. Seeing it done so well, especially on a Show that blurs the lines between Genres a bit in each Episode, is really nice. Lastly, how about a shout-out to Michael Biehn. He's now been in a Terminator Film (the first), an Alien Film (the 2nd) and now in Star Wars. Good on you, man!
Next time, a new destination and new dangers. That Title sure is foreboding. See you then...
