Really enjoying this show. Wish each episode was a bit longer but it works.

I’m not sure if he’s partially CGI or not, but I love how baby Yoda is made to look like a puppet. Like in the old movies.
The same with using real masks and makeup for alien characters instead of CGI.

I love the length. It helps to avoid 10 - 15 minute dialog scenes (i.e. Game of Thrones & Walking Dead) that are nothing more than rehashed exposition.

These episodes just keep getting better and better. And I’ll say that I really appreciate that, at least up to this point, they are not taking time with a lot of back story with the main character or in general explaining how we are at the point where we currently are in the story. That typically seems to be a slow down point for most series. If you want to do that do so in a short amount of time at the very beginning of the very first episode and be done with it. Otherwise treat your audience as if they know what is going on. They either already know or don’t. And those that don’t will either take the time and effort to go learn or decide to walk away in confusion. And contrary to conventional wisdom, there is nothing wrong with that second option. When something attempts to cater to everyone is when it gets bogged down and watered down. Hopefully this series avoids that and just continues to give little tidbits about the main character’s back story. If you want to do an origin story than do one, otherwise let’s get the hell on with the current plot.

Outside all of the impressive music recognition going on in this thread, I have to curse Baby Lee for getting Cake's "Going the Distance" stuck in my head. Shit. Well, off to listen to some Rammstein.

Probably the weakest episode yet(still had fun with it), but it felt decidedly lower budget, almost like an episode of Xena Warrior Princess.

Never been huge into Star Wars, but I'm thoroughly enjoying this one.
