OK, this series has really taken a turn. Kids who glue robot parts to their faces and ride around on primary color bikes? Not sure the series needed these Harry Potter rejects, but they're not doing anything to enhance a Star Wars storyline.
Cool, maybe. But they took me more out of the story than pulling me in. The whole chase sequence at the end of the episode was only written in so they could ride their bikes. I seem to remember a biker gang (maybe?) in one of the novels a few years ago, and they seemed to be a better fit than these random kids. The whole water storyline was a pointless way to shoe horn in some of the crew's kids, more than likely.I thought they were cool - very cyberpunk! The bikes are awesome with their retro styling too. I would like to know a bit more about them. Interestingly, I believe their enhancements were voluntary and not a matter of necessity.

I've heard some rumbling about that on-line. Also, some have taken issue with the Black Krrsantan scene...OK, this series has really taken a turn.

Watched two and a half episodes. Done. Beyond tedious and boring. Even the uber hot Ming Na Wen can’t save this dung heap.
It's the Mandalorian Part whatever at this point. I don't care for the friends-of-the-director being cast as aliens and using their regular, awful voices. When they made the mask for Bib Fortuna, it was a great alien sculpt. Now they just stick those headpieces onto anyone and everyone, paint their face in the same color, and use a head harness/hat thing to hide the join. Laziest damn thing I've seen in the Star Wars universe. Hell, they did it in the Return of the Jedi special edition. Just.... blech.Watched two and a half episodes. Done. Beyond tedious and boring.

That was a great episode! Way better than last week!!! Love the music at the end.....

The Heist for Slave 1 was fun
Ahem, it’s Boba Fett’s Starship now…
The tease of the Mandalorian/Din Djarin making a presence with the music at the end will probably help tie in to season 3 of that as well
I believe that only applies to toy packaging. They've done that before too. I mean "General Grevious's Starfighter" was called such, not the "Belbullab-22" or even "Solulless One" which are never stated in the movie and might be confusing names. Kids will want the ship that goes with their figure, after all. The Bad Batch's ship is called "Bad Batch Attack Shuttle" on the Lego box, not "Havoc Marauder." Anyway, I think that's all making mountian out of a molehill, but that's what Star Wars fans do....
He did refer to it as a "Firespray Class" which I think might be the first time it was actually called that on-screen.
Oh I still call it Slave-1 and find the uproar over it hilarious, but Disney has also shied away from calling it that since its return to screen.
