I think comparing this show to Andor is apples to oranges . Andor is the more intellectual political drama/thriller , Mando is more pulpy adventure /space western . This episode felt like filler before the meat of the story gets told this season . Not my favorite episode thus far , but I had fun with it anyway . It probably would have been better if those 2 episodes from BOBF were used to open the season here instead though . As for alien accents , I think the problem started way back in The Phantom Menace and they should have taken their cues from the original trilogy and had Ben Burrt come up with alien languages for all of the alien characters with subtitles . Yeah , There was a lot of dialogue for those characters in the prequels , but Jabba had a substantial role in ROTJ and that technique worked for him . They should have stuck with that approach throughout the whole saga . Also , in regards to this weeks Mandalorian episode , I’m still wondering why Swamp Thing made an appearance .
