They were great set up episodes. Pulling the proverbial slingshot back you could say.
Not at the heights of Andor or the best of early Mando yet but given the purpose of these episodes you wouldn't expect that. The important part is that it has set thing up for them to hit it out of the park the rest of the way and hopefully they do.
I wouldn't have minded these episodes being trimmed down just to have the final product a little tighter and quicker moving. There wasn't much need to stand around like they did at a few points and drag our certain scenes. Felt like there was dead air in multiple scenes where Hera's hologram was just staring at Ahsoka or Sabine and it served no purpose. Cutting those bits would've kept these episodes firing at a high level from start to finish.
