There were two scenes I really liked.
First was Grogu showing real sadness/fear at the start of the flahsback which was remarkable. First time I've seen him show emotion beyond wonder or hunger.
The second was the solitary campfire scene - it showed the juxtaposition of Mandalorians as a close community, but in one of the most social daily activities they are forced by their creed to be apart. I thought that was cool.

I wonder if the sadness is beyond just seeing random Jedi slaughtered. But that we will see another flashback where his rescuer is murdered. I mean we know that there are very few Jedi left. Kenobi, Yoda and Ashoka (She is no jedi) left out there.
The biggest problem in Legends for me, is they kept running into these survivors of Order 66, in effect it made Palpatine and Vader look like bunglers with Order 66, there should have been very few survivors of Palatinates Jedi Box.
I loved the idea of the campfire scene which was the staple in all Western Movies that I watched growing up. The harmonica playing bean eating burbon sipping cowboys sitting around a fire with the cows mooing in the background, or just the dead of night was a powerful image of a band of brothers.
I did kind of love that at its heart the Children of the Watch while they're a band, don't have these great moments of getting to know each other and many probably have no idea what each other look like or what they really sound like.
And having them all go off to eat in solitude is kind of sad.
It would have been nice to have a scene where they all returned to the fire after eating and maybe the father of the foundling talks about how worried he is that they won't be on time. Or Bo talks about being there when the Republic turned into the Empire that then destroyed Mandalore. It would have been a powerful addon for me.
