A very good episode. I was almost giddy seeing the Hutts. The CGI has come along enough and it not being Jabba helps immensely. I still don’t like the lame minor characters who try to be funny, like at the mayor’s office, but more concerning Max Rebo’s trunk is too thin, isn’t it?

I am amazed that with the money and tech that Lucasfilm/Disney has at its disposal that so many of the casually seen aliens look like borderline rubber masks.
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets had more convincing looking aliens!

I wish they touched them up a bit with CGI, if only for allowing some smoother motion. It’s nice to recall the simpler OT aesthetic but sometimes the alien characters act so unexpressive that it feels jarring, reminds me of the poor lip-syncing of the Neimoidians back in the prequels.

On the other hand some of the animatronic work they’ve pulled off is amazing, such as the Frog lady in Mando or the Ithorian mayor in this series.
