Episode 5 thoughts:

-Tatooine!
-Cool to see some actual plates from ANH, but they might have overdone it.
-Amy Sedaris?!
-The other bounty hunter’s characterization was a bit much. I get that we’re not supposed to like him, but he was still enough of a dopey caricature that it took me out of it
-Did the Tusken Raiders look a little off to anyone else? I think they were too clean or something.
-Would have liked for Ming Na Wen to stick around longer, but alas. I honestly wish hers and Gina Carano’s roles were reversed.
-Are we supposed to think that might be Boba Fett at the very end? I didn’t get a great look at the shoes, but the spur sound effects certainly suggest it. With Filoni, a detail like that might be misdirection, but it’s certainly not coincidental.

On the whole, the same things that have been frustrating me all season continued to do so in this episode, but they were offset a fair bit by the fun of hanging out on Tatooine in live action for the first time in 14 years.
