I really liked it.



The fact that he is trying to get an actual Mandalorian suit of armor is cool. We know from Clone Wars that the Mandalorian's are kind of a lost people. They had a warrior/mercenary background that was replaced by a pacifistic government and then we saw towards the end that Death Watch kind of took things over and by the time that Rebels came around they were back to their warring/armor wearing selves.



There's no doubt that they're trying to make the hero like the man with no name spaghetti Western type of character, right down to the fact that he umm has no name and we don't see his face. Suprisingly though this works as this Bounty Hunter unlike Boba Fett has a sense of humor and a sense of snark, there's also a lot of humanity that goes against Star Wars' generalization that Bounty Hunters were the evil sleazy underside of the under world of the GFFA.


I also liked the grimy looking Storm Troopers, and the question comes, this is 10 years after the fall of the Empire. Do they represent the coming First Order? Was The Client and the Doctor members of the Imperial Remnant? The First Order? Or were the Storm Troopers merely mercenary thugs?


Overall this first episode was all about world building, and the world was gorgeous. but because of that the action seemed a little slow and muted, Which is something that Dave Filoni was guilty of once in a while and this was his episode.


I did feel though that some of the guest stars were a bit wasted in their roles as unrecognizable characters.


But overall, I though this was pretty cool.
