Well'p that was pretty great. What a cliffhanger. Love it when shows reunite characters from past episodes, and I was always hoping IG-11 wouldn't be dead. Some great character work all around too. Nick Nolte's character was fantastic, and even though he wasn't around for long I really felt hit hard seeing him dead. What a great way to reveal it at the end too.
Still, I don't exactly know what the Mandalorian was trying to do with his plan to meet up Karga. It was obviously a trap, and him gathering allies to help seemed like a good way to have a contingency or plan a counter-trap and... he doesn't really do any that? All he did was have some backup, and only got out of the trap because Karga changed his mind thanks to coincidence. It doesn't really make the Mandalorian seem any good at what he does.
Also, sorry for fans of him, but Giancarlo Esposito did not make for a threatening first impression. The scene with all the Stormtroopers surrounding the heroes was amazing, and then he steps out and delivers his lines in such a goofy way I laughed out loud. I'm going to miss Werner Herzog a lot...
Still, can't wait for the next one!
