Just finished watching chapter 4 and as far as I’m concerned the show is back on form again. It was a bit more open ended than chapter 2 but it had the same high quality. Good action and far better cinematography.
I was a bit surprised to see that the flashbacks are already lining up with The Mandalorian season 1, but it does confirm that Fett spent a good amount of time with the Tuskens.
A few random thoughts:
The mods are actually called mods as they literally modify themselves with cybernetics. I thought that was kinda clever. They also looked a bit more OT this time, but there’s still that overall PT feel to the designs. Which I don’t mind. I also thought the mods was a clever way to explain how Fett saved Fennec as it always seemed unlikely that he did it himself.
Loved the droids in Jabba/Bib’s Palace. The meat cleaver kitchen droid was fun and appropriately had a little Grievous moment. Also, wasn’t the little droid a TCW design used by the separatists?
We also get our first on-screen Wookiee pulling someone’s arm off scene I believe. Yes I know they shot a scene for TFA but that was cut. Either way, this scene made more sense and was IMO much better. I just think it’s cool that Krrsantan is going to be a regular character in the series.
Excited for what the implication of the theme from The Mandalorian at the end means. Will it mean that Din will show up to help or just Mandalorians in general. Fett’s building up quite the team for fighting the Pykes.
I will add one critical observatio though. Why did Fett think the beskar armour was still in the Sarlacc? I suppose he could have been too dazed to have consciously noticed yhe Jawas and only reacted out of instinct, but it was an odd detail to not explain. Though I suppose we could see him learn of Cobb Vanth at some point in a future episode.
