I like how they incorporated the Jawas into this episode. They weren't a threat to Mando as much as they were a huge inconvenience. And I like how they fought him comically in a "strength of numbers" way. Then, despite Mando disintegrating a few of their friends, they were still willing to bargain with him to get them the egg showing just how opportunistic they are. They could've easily just thrown them in there as fan service but they gave them more to do which is good.
I don't know if it was an homage to Last Crusade but Mando hanging off the side of the Sandcrawler did remind me of it and yes him "walk climbing" up the side reminded of Adam West Batman too haha.
So not much happened plot wise this episode but I'm now taking the approach of just treating it as an old serial with shorter episodes. Most shows I watched growing up were a half hour long so no problem there.

His points are valid and I would agree if we were at the end of the season but we're only two episodes in and as much as I would like to say Disney failed again and they don't deserve to be the stewards of Star Wars, I don't think it's fair to do so now. Yeah it's not as epic or deep as the OT but eh it's an action show like most other bounty hunter shows. As long as you don't ask more of it than that, it can be enjoyable. Also it hasn't broken any rules or contradicted what came before like the movies have (although baby Yoda could present some problems). I will agree with him about finding the baby Yoda bounty too easily but I see why they did that. They wanted to hook everyone in in the first episode. Again, this is another reason why I still believe at least the first episode should've been a little longer.
