Ok, where to begin? I'll start on a high note
Cutest #$%&ing thing EVER! Can I get one for Christmas?
On to the questions/gripes.
1.) I know species exhibit changes as they grow, but why are the baby's eyes so much larger than the adults'?
Also, how is this thing 50yo and can't talk? If the species has an equivalency of 50yo = 1yo human, then Yoda should have only been in his teens. I think 10yo would have been better. But it also makes me think that Yoda was an exception to his species in that he spoke Basic. Considering the child-like characteristics of this new LGF, and his already formidable grasp (albeit unmastered strength) of the Force, it makes me wonder if the species on the whole is Force sensitive, and communicate telepathically through it. This would explain why a 50yo can't talk.
2.) This is an UgNOT
It's too tall, speaks Basic.....and Jawa? Way to jump the shark already because NOSTALGIA. Don't get me wrong, I like the character and where he fits in the story, but frelling hell come up with something new instead butchering what was established. Ugnaughts are small, and like Wookiees, lack the physical ability to vocalize in Basic.
3.) Seriously? They had to bring these things back?
They were so badly rendered in TCW that I didn't even register they had been resurrected. Also this just smacked a bit much of something else
4.) Why is the Empire in possession of beskar, and WHY is it in stamped ingots? And why does it look like Damascus in ingot form but not once forged.

I'm also curious as why/how he already has "beskar" armor, but then needs new parts. Unless it is merely
assumed that all of his armor is beskar already.
5.) I actually like the soundtrack to this show. My only complaint is that it....doesn't....feel Star Wars.
6.) Werner Herzog........awesome.
7.) Is it just me, or do these troopers look a little......underfed?
8.) I was under the impression that Jawas were indigenous to Tatooine. And if not, their sandcrawlers were unique to the Tatooine tribes, and also much larger. More useless nostalgia. XÞ
9.) At first I was pissed that they had to throw in an IG unit that wasn't IG-88, but I guess they kinda spun it in a reasonable fashion. I did love how the droid's abilities were showcased. But oh no, the "self-destruct" just has to be a spherical thermal detonator in the chest because NOSTALGIA. And then, after ALL the hype he's shellcanned after 5min.
10.) I'm not a fan of how short the episodes are.
11.) I wasn't thrilled by how they depicted the carbonite freezing process. Chronologically only 6 years prior, it took an entire chamber with heavy machinery to freeze 1 person, and now you just push 'em into a box and hit the freeze button? Go go Filoni nostalgia rape.
12.) The tracking fob. WTF? What happened to the days when hunters had to actually track down a target through info gathering. The bail jumpers I could get behind having some sort of tracking implant, but why the hell would Yoda-baby have one? <puke>
13.) I will admit, the mystery baby and the Remnant's interest in (assuming) has MY interests piqued. That and the Mando....refugees?....are my only interests in the show thus far. I fear that the release of this show at THIS time is because something minute is going to play into TROS.
14.) Can anyone say "dead"?
Beskar might be nigh indestructible, but the rib cage beneath it is not. Plus, how is his little boot knife gonna drop this thing?
15.) I'm not even going to ask how TF a bounty hunter and a farmer rebuild a ship in just 1 night. Also a characteristic flaw in the Jawas: they wouldn't have left the engines behind for that pointless sputter shot. Granted he showed up, and they may not have had the time to pick that heap as clean as they usually would.
16.) As much as I was liking see all the Mandos, what gives with them never taking off their helmets? Seemed overly dramatic and mysterious to a lame level.
Overall, I give the first 2 episodes a C-. Let's hope it gets better.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!
