glad I'm not the only one who thinks that.

Now he's not being hunted they don't quite seem to know what to do with him. A small training scene doesn't really make up for it.

the introduction of Babu Frek also seemed a little bit of a merchandising gimmik too, he's not really had anything to do other than pop up and say a few words..... i'd prefer they spent the money on the core of the series, like more extra's when they decided to evacuate the city, and there was like 10 people turned up.

Interesting take on what’s gone wrong and what’s gone right with this season.

fk, does he waffle. It's unwatchable.

It was a bit uber geek.

Me, I fall into the brain in neutral, enjoy the spectacle camp. I definitely don’t get worried about plot inconsistencies amongst the various films, cartoon and streaming series. Life is too short.

This is Mando, not Andor, they can't get more than 12 people in 'The Volume'

[bloomen]

Surely you could also project some wee people on the back too.

Perhaps that planet's claim to fame is that about 18 people live on it.

They always get their population numbers wrong in Star Wars, they said 1 trillion people lived on Coruscant, that's around 1000 times too few for the size of it and density of buildings.

Same here, I said it loads before but he was the only good thing from the new trilogy although still waiting to hear him say his "Hey hey" catchphrase.

There are huge empty zones though, Industrial area's as seen in Attack of the clones stretching to the horizon.

...and trains zooming through miles of nothing to reach breakers yards.

So many levels to the buildings that they tower over the peak of a mountain. And then the city under the city.

Got a bit excited, had some time to spare, thought I'd watch the latest episode. Wasn't there... Then I remembered it is Tuesday..........

[ch37]

Just watched episode 6, looking forward to hearing some of the reactions to this one...

Thankfully I did remember it was Tuesday which is why I watched last weeks' episode so I could read this thread without having any spoilers

I watched it too, but really couldn’t be bothered to write anything. Make of that what you will.
A couple of surprising cameos is about all the enthusiasm I can raise.

[Pepperpots]

More filler than Polycell but fun and advanced the core story a bit

[DanL]

No spoilers, but a perfectly fun little “monster of the week” type episode with some wider plot arc movement in it and some unexpected cameos. I didn’t get bored, so I’m quite happy with it.

[eltawater]

Really enjoyed the cameos, good to see them onscreen again.

[Monsterlime]

Personally I really enjoyed it, maybe more for some of the cameos and the 'nod' to A New Hope. The extra of it advancing the core plot was just icing.

An OK episode. Only took them about 4 minutes to solve the droid issue. Not sure why the Mandalorians outside city couldn't have done it, but ho hum.

Jack seemed a bit wasted.

I think it was because they were hired as a private protection army, and their law (much like ancient Rome) says an army cannot enter the city.
