Gotcha, thanks.
Ugh, damn, I just realized there's most likely no Disney+ app on my TV. I watch 99.99% of content on my big screen TV (in fact I give to three different groups on Patreon and don't even watch the Patreon specific videos cause there's no Patreon app on my TV, lulz).

Watching it right now at Disney+, so far so good.39 minute episode.
surprise, surprised..... his 50 year old bounty.....
Somebody translated that Galactic Basic language from the sign stuck to the inside of his floating cradle/stroller thing.
Don't get them wet.
Don't expose them to bright light.
Don't feed them after midnight.

The Mandolarians bounty found in a egg shaped cradle looks like him... NOT.

Thoughts:
1. Predictable. Cookie cutter.
2. But still, fun.
3. Glorious visuals.
4. I miss John Williams.
I really like Favreau's directing style...it's not always perfect, but he gets straight into a story & does a good job conveying it (Elf, Zathura, Ironman, etc.). You could tell this was toned-down for kids. Would have been awesome if they went the Netflix Punisher route, haha. Or just a little meatier, in general.
I didn't realize that it was going to be released on a weekly schedule...I was all prepared to binge-watch it

Theres lots of pew pew killing and he cuts a guy in half in the first few minutes? how exactly would you "tone-up" a starwars? there was also the creepy carbonite scene. of course it could be way darker but uh then it would just be gratuitously so.
I also was disappointed when I realized I couldnt binge it

I think there are kind of 4 levels:
1. Disney kid style (they could have toned it down, the cut-in-half scene was actually surprising)
2. Disney, uh, older-kid style (which is where it's at now...gunfights & stuff...kind of feels a bit like CW's "The Flash" in terms of playing it safe)
3. Disney enthusiast style (this is where I'd personally want it to be at...not over-the-top gory, but like, the dude's a bounty hunter, maybe make it a little more gritty?)
4. Disney hardcore style (like Netflix's Punisher)
Like, riding the "horse" is such an old & over-used trope that you knew as soon as the camera panned over to the "I have spoken" guy, he was going to be rolling his eyes at the "new kid falling off the horse". And I think they could have done a better job selling the reason for the horse-aliens too...I mean, the bounty hunter has a flying ship, why not just park closer? Or use Boba Fett's jetpack to hop over the cracks (dunno if that's an "earned item" like his shoulder armor, which I thought was a pretty cool scene with the melting down of the payment & all).
The bad guy who hired him for that job, that actor had a lot of presence...I hope he's in it more in the future, he added the weight I wanted to the story with his acting. I also liked the beat-up & twitchy Stormtroopers, that was a fun angle to expose the audience to, post-Empire. I feel like the doctor didn't quite fit in with that crowd, acting-wise.
Yeah, mostly I'm just whining because I couldn't binge it. I don't always get big chunks of free time in my schedule, so I really enjoy just unplugging for an afternoon or a couple of days whenever I can, eating food, binge-watching shows, etc. I'll definitely be watching this in the future! Hope they add some OG Star Wars music to it too!

Oh dang, Taika voiced IG-88?? And yes, Werner was the one I was referring to...IMDB just has him listed as "The Client" for now.
I take movies at face-value tho...it was fun, but I was hoping it'd be just a little bit deeper. Really enjoyed the visuals. Hoping the story digs in as the episodes come out!

Yeah, it's been weird seeing Herzog show up as an actor in ...well, very mainstream films in recent years. It's definitely not his wheelhouse, but damn, he really is great in front of the camera.
...for those that are unfamiliar with Herzog, he's a legendary auteur that has been making some very great esoteric-bizarre-insane-amazing films for at least 50 years now. He's also famous for being demanding, insane, violent, but also extremely efficient (always under time and under budget, in absurdly demanding conditions) when directing on set.
Early on, he would cast notably crazy people in major roles (Klaus Kinski being his earliest muse--I think they sometimes got into knife fights on those sets when the cameras weren't rolling)
Yeah IG-11 according to the closed captions. Also Bill burr is not in it, I have no idea where I got that from. I think im going crazy.
nevermind i found it, hes listed as a guest in the wikipedia. must be an ancillary character in an upcoming episode.

I was going to say, IG-88 had an awesome back story in the post-movie books; he was a pretty lethal & efficient character!
Yup I saw that too, it was a pre-order deal. so only available before it was released. I saw a page talking about it with link and when I clicked through it only took me to the 1 year deal.
