I thought it was a great start. Perhaps too much time spent on back story and not enough current, but I’ve noticed lots of series tend to be slow and heavy as they set things up these days. The Mandelorian got to it later. But I also think that setting up how Fett got out and lost his armor was a big question lingering from The Mandelorian. So now that the setup is out of the way, I hope it gets into the trouble he is getting himself into.
Also, Fett never seemed the kind of guy who was out to cause fear. He was out to get his quarry and if sometimes they got disintegrated, he still got them. Not someone you want to be after you, but also just one bounty hunter. So someone who wants to get him out of the way would send a group.
I was very happy with the episode and enjoyed it. I hope the story evolves and gets better. This was a great setup but I don’t think it quite followed the quality of story from The Mandelorian, but it had a few things to answer as we get to know this iconic character better.
As for Morrison, Jeremy Bulloch was the tallest of the actors to done the costume for the OT. The others were similar in build to Morrison and now Danial Logan. Neither are actually the right age for Fett in this time period, but Morrison with the scarring feels right in the role. I’ve also noticed how similar his voice is to Wingreen’s in the original TESB audio.
