Definitely enjoyed this episode more. It was a little derivative of standard tropes, but Star Wars is derivative to its very core and origin so that’s fine.
I particularly liked the callback to Lawrence of Arabia when the Tuskens were looting the train after they conquered it. Those scenes always stuck with me and it worked very well in this story too.
Honestly my only complaint is something about the cinematography felt cheap and “made for tv” in a negative way. Didn’t ruin it for me but it definitely isn’t as good cinematography as Mando or some of the marvel series they’ve put out.
