Watched the first three last night. I dig it but too short IMHO. Can’t wait till the 4th release tomorrow.

Just saw episode 4. FYI for those who don't know baby Yoda isn't actually Yoda just a member of his species. Since this takes place 4 or 5 years after Return of the Jedi so Yoda is very much an adult. Gina Carano was awesome. Just curious if the mandalorian never took off his helmet in front of anyone since childhood did he ever have a girlfriend or is that against code? When you make love does the suit come off but the helmet stay on? That might seem kinky once in awhile but would get old fast if you never get to see what your lover looks like. Also no PDA or make out sesh.

Yes!! I can't wait to watch it tonight.

Given that Yoda was almost 900 years old in Episode 4, yes. This begs the question; are all of Yoda's species extremely gifted with the force or are they anomalies? The baby is, anecdotally, 50+ years old.

At the beginning of the episode, Mando is looking for lodging for the baby and himself and ends up staying in the village. Why can't they just chill in the spacecraft, seems like pretty awesome lodging to me compared to a friggin hut with no protection from intruders.

No puss in the spacecraft

Not much of a storyline either.

She was going to take off his helmet for a make out sesh but he refused. There's rumor she'll make a return in future episodes though.

The epic battle scene should have been 20 minutes longer. Seems like they are rushed to finish the story within the limited time before Mando goes on his next assignment as a mercenary for hire. Not sure why he has to live by the Mando code and wear the stupid helmet all the time since he already violated the code anyway. Reminds me of game of thrones, they needed another season or two with 10 episodes to finish telling the story.

If the average lifespan is 1000 years then the baby is around 5 human years old, so it should be able to speak at this point. Maybe the use of the force develops before speech as well as the ability to sense injury or threats and intervene as well as communicate through other means. It appears that language centers of the brain develop later than in humans. Mando is actually younger than baby yoda though he is his current adoptive father. When Mando dies of old age assuming he is similar to humans baby yoda will be about 10-13 human years old and may still need parents but at least his powers can also be used to protect.

Idk, I thought the episode was rather slow, not intriguing as the first three and felt like it was a fill in episode. With that said, I’m still enjoying the series.

You could also watch old Western episodes in B&W and get the same stories.

Thought episode 4 was the worse episode so far. Just seemed rushed, one reason I hate 30min episodes since they can’t really do character development in that time frame.

First thing that episode made me think of was Startrek. Seemed more suited for that series.

This may be slightly off topic but I had to do a search to find Solo on Disney + and it says that it won't be available until July 9, 2020. I thought Disney owned all the content and could do whatever they want, but apparently the agreement with Netflix prevents them from streaming even from their own platform even though they own the content lol. So I have to go to Netflix to watch Solo. Also noticed there are still some issues with streaming in general with the picture freezing and having to restart the movie or app. Same with Apple TV+. No issues with Netflix. Most likely they are using AWS so they both have the same issues.
