This episode made me wish all of the clone wars and rebels TV shows were live action... IT. WAS. AMAZING. Plus, i love episodes that explore different parts, like that port with the imperial remnant force, ugh love it. And the armor of bo katan?

Great episode, great action scenes, some fun moments of humor, and Bo Katan! So glad the brought Katee back to play her in live action.
It's going to be really interesting when Ashoka sees the Child since she knew Yoda.

That’s one thing that makes me a little sad - why couldn’t they do the same and have Ashley Eckstein fill the live action role of Ashoka? She just owns that role.
The rumored person doing the role is a fine actress but it will seem a little off with her voice.

The two most predictable lines of the episode:
"Don't play with your food." (I literally said it out loud seconds before Mando did.)
"I'll help you. But first..." (This is becoming a little repetitive.)
Still great to see some new vistas, some classic costumes and classically stupid Stormtroopers, the awesome Katee Sackhoff and the always delightful Titus Welliver.
Along with trying to teach Baby Yoda: Frogs are friends, not food.
ETA: and I tried to fight it, but I have to say it - as soon as he saw the Mon Calamari, I said "it's a trap!"
Also ETA: someone more versed in Rebels and Clone Wars - please tell me 'the Watch' was established prior to Game of Thrones. Because Mando has always had that Jon Snow thing going on. Totally aside from the actor's GoT casting.

Well, assuming they mean Death Watch, that group was named even before the clone wars tv show. Not sure how it fits in the new canon, but in the old one they were kinda the psycho mandos. Relgious zealots as this episode statedThe two most predictable lines of the episode:

I think that's two episodes in a row with a call back to Alien.

The predictable line for me was when the Quarren man confronts Mando at the ship dock and says “You killed my brother!”The two most predictable lines of the episode:

I literally said “You killed my sons!” right before him... not literally the same but close!

It wasn’t referred to as ‘The Watch’, but Deathwatch was a terrorist group that sought to restore Mandalore (whose government had renounced war altogether and refused to participate in the Clone Wars) to its violent ways. The helmet thing didn’t exist, but it seems like they’re going for a ‘cult within the movement’ sort of thing to explain Din’s overly specific lifestyle rules.
Bo-Katan was actually one of its higher ranking members during the group’s introduction, but after her sister (the ruler of Mandalore at the time) was overthrown by Maul, she turned against Deathwatch and joined up with Ahsoka Tano and a group of Republic clone troopers to liberate the planet.
It hasn’t been made clear whether Din was raised by the members of Deathwatch who were on Maul’s side or Bo-Katan’s, but I’m assuming that given how the Armorer described Jedi to Din that it’s probably the former.

Once again I really liked this episode and once again my only complaint is it was too short. I would really like the episodes to be about 45min, that would be perfect. I am also a bit surprised we haven't met back up with Carats and Greef yet. I was really hoping they would be spending a lot of time together. That said, I really love this show.

Next weeks episode looks to have Mando connect back up with Cara and Greef, at least based on what I heard.

As much as I obviously love her as the character I don’t think it’d be as easy to transition her to live action with the same actress. With Bo she wears the suit and it’s obviously a stunt double whenever her face isn’t being shown. I think that’d be harder to pull off with Ahsoka if they brought back Ashley.but not Ashley

deathwatch were led by pre vizla in the clone wars. Bo Katan’s sister satine was the duchess of mandalore and ruled the planet with a policy of neutrality during the clone wars. Visla who was living (not if sure if it was an exile or not) on one of Mandalores moons believed that Mandalore should return to its warrior past and reject pacifism. Bo katan was a member of his group initially but left when visla aligned with Maul to overthrow Satine. Maul then double crossed Visla by challenging him and beating him in combat to become ruler of mandalore (which he did in secret through a puppet leader). This was at the end of the clone wars at the same time as revenge of the sith. Maul later took the dark saber with him to his home of dathomere which was then retrieved and returned to bo katan in star wars rebels when she overthrew the empire loyal mandalorian gar saxon to become ruler of mandalore. During the time of the original trilogy the empire have occupied Mandalore and moff gideon has taken the dark saber
Jon Favreau voiced pre visla in the clone wars and also pax visla who was a member of Mando’s clan so its likely that mando is part of the deathwatch group who supported maul

I'm curious how it will look though. Ahsoka in the animated shows was generally a very petite looking character, smaller than most of the other characters which I think would suit Eckstein better than

That said, I haven't really seen Eckstein much in live action so I can't speak to her overall acting skills (compared to voice work) while
