That, or the Werner Herzog character really wants the baby dead. He lead with a higher “live” bounty with Mando, to placate Dr. Pritchard for some reason, but made a separate “dead-only” offer to IG-11. Note how Herzog was dropping a vibe like, “If you bring the target in dead, that’s totally OK with me.”

While the music felt a touch out of place, I think that's just because it's different than were used to, rather than it actually being out of place.
Even the stand alone movies we've gotten (rogue one and Solo) have been based on genre films that have big sweeping orchestra pieces in them, so we felt like they had the same kind of music as the trilogies. Rogue one is a world war II spy movie, and Solo is a heist. Both of those genres are commonly filled with big sweeping soundtracks.
But Mandalorian is a Sergio Leone style spaghetti western. The musical scores in those are often unique, and easily recognizable, but they're not big sweeping emotional affairs. Not nearly as often as we're used to getting out of the trilogies at least. They're relatively subdued, almost like a musical version of the background noise of nature.

I think it's Giancarlo Eposito, Moff character that has taken out the wanted dead bounty on the little guy

Brian Posehn is great, but he is pretty much the last person I expected to appear in the Star Wars franchise.
Im just gonna think this every time I see him

I sucked it up and watched the episode on my phone, even though i was against it. I have no devices that stream Disney+ other then my phone but I really wanted to see it.
All I'll say is I can not believe they had the out of place blue guy make a reference to The Holiday Special.

As I was reading through the comments I was already forming a response in my head with regards to the music style. You nailed it. This has very much a Hang em High or True Grit style of going out on their own to get the bounty feel. Some here may not be familiar with that style of movie and it's not what we've been used to in the SWU. I thought the music fit really well.

I'm actually really impressed with this so far. There's a few nit picky things I'd have done differently, and I sorta wish his armor was more finely detailed looking in places cause it does feel just a hair "Cosplay" to me, but I'm really surprised and delighted with what I've just watched. It very much feels StarWars for me. I kinda wish it were just a hair more violent and down and gritty tbh I guess but it does very well for something Disney.
Music is interesting and didn't bother me much. Felt unique and new and yet true to the universe's feel. CGI was both very impressive and yet oddly obvious at times throughout, bad cgi being the faces towards the big end fight
idk how I feel about the mcguffin at the end though. Interesting but kinda odd feeling
I think it was because my brain got locked in on trying to figure out who’s voice it was. It didn’t bother me anywhere as much the second watch through

Yeahh that was a little weird for me for whatever reason...

Can't add much to what you guys already said, but I'm diggin' it so far! It has the most OT feel since... the OT. I just hope that the running time of the remaining episodes is closer to an hour. With this one, it almost felt like Disney designed it to be syndicated in the near future, allowing time for commercials. That would be a major step backwards.
I don't remember seeing it posted, but I have watched (and loved) this quite a few times since it went up...

Enjoyed it very much, felt really short and would have watched the entire series all at once if they dropped it all Netflix style, so much for so called fatigue. Incredible what can be achieved when talented creators with a passion and knowledge of and for the subject matter are involved.

At least three of those pistols are based on found tranquilizer guns. I recognize them from a Kill Bill project from a year or two ago.
