After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. The Mandalorian is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. We follow the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic.
The series will be written and executive produced by Emmy-nominated producer and actor Jon Favreau, as previously announced, with Dave Filoni (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels) directing the first episode.
Additional episodic directors include Deborah Chow (Jessica Jones), Rick Famuyiwa (Dope), Bryce Dallas Howard (Solemates), and Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok).
It will be executive produced by Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Kathleen Kennedy, and Colin Wilson. Karen Gilchrist will serve as co-executive producer. Stay tuned to StarWars.com for updates.

Enjoyed the episode. Bryce Dallas Howard is become a pretty decent director for the SW Universe.
Also, very disappointed we didn't get a The Metal reference. Lol
Spoiler!
I figured that would be the workaround for him giving the dark saber to her. Frankly I'm a little surprised that he didn't give it to her after she defeated the crab droid thing and saved him.
In any event, I hope this means that they won't turn on each other, which would suck. They make a good team and I don't want Katee to end up being a villain or leave the show.

That could be the plan and transition her to Rosario Dawson's Ahsoka series. Sabine has been cast for said show, which makes it easy to phase Bo out.
Well that was something. Looks like everyone want a cameo in the Mandalorian. Jack Black, Christopher Lloyd and the underwear flute player. The handoff of the Dark Saber was weak as fuck. This season isn't doing it for me
I know it’s just a throwaway scene but when the fish guy has to leave, that entire thing was just really hard to watch in how bad it was. The droid thing was interesting but not a huge fan of how simple and easy and quick it was to resolve. I would have much rather had two episodes there instead of that one with those other two random characters filling almost the whole episode. [Reply]
I've said it before but about 30 minutes into The Last Jedi a dark thought came over me...
"Oh no - is this movie bad? Because shit, I think this movie is bad..."
And it never got any better. Same thing happened like 20 minutes into Obi Wan. Meanwhile as I watched Solo after everyone said it sucked I'm thinking "Wait...what? This is pretty damn good!"
I try to give SWs the benefit of the doubt but they really have bummed me out a bit at times. [Reply]

Because man, I feel like that episode was really bad.
It was a live action RPG side quest you had to complete to advance your companion's storyline before you can get to the next stage of the main quest.
Have to say I hope we get to go back to droid city because I bet there are some hilarious NPCs there. Plus the hoop-toss minigame is fun as shit. [Reply]

My husband said the same thing. The sets/scenery are great, but the writing is weak. [Reply]

It felt like they were strolling along their merry storytelling way, and it hit them that they only have X number of episodes left this season, so they needed a fast forward episode to get shit moving towards the point of it all, even though the episode itself wasn't fast forward. [Reply]

The plot line of this episode was convoluted and forced. It's as if someone told the writers what the last 5 minutes of the show had to be and gave them fifteen minutes to come up with a way to get there. Most of the episode was spent using weakly built stereotypes of each character in sloppily thrown together vignettes, loosely strung together by plot that was completely irrelevant. Grogu cutesy. Bo Katan leader. Mandalorian tough guy. Have those three interact with background characters. Woman appeased by cuteness. Key individuals acting without leadership. Bad guys doing bad things because no one resists them. Was the episode written by George Lucas? Can someone check? [Reply]
