I really like the reveal of Anakin. Trying to remember Anakin's introduction in TPM, I really had to think a minute. He was just part of Watto's shop, saying really awkward exposition. Your version of Anakin so far, simply by making him a stowaway, says a lot about the character without him saying a word. This is how Anakin should be written.
When you said that that Nellith ran along a wall, I pictured Matrix-esque Trinity antics. That kind of image is fine, but be careful that it doesn't become like CG Yoda bouncing off the walls.
As to how the fight is going, I'd just say that for an enemy to be menacing they need to kill some heroes, or at least drive them back to show their superiority. In the first minutes of Star Wars, we saw Rebel troops mowed down by the dozens by the clearly superior Stormtroopers. Of course, the rest of the movies tried their best to prove this image wrong, but it sets the tone effectively. I worry that we don't really get that feeling here. Not that the Mandalorians must be this deadly, but it seems like now is not the place for witty banter. What is our heroe's game plan, precisely? Are they trying to kill all of the clones? Are they trying to get the Holocron first? How do they expect to "get out of this alive", exactly? This is not so much criticism as much as wondering aloud. I look forward to seeing how this is resolved.
