I'll probably catch heat for this, but I thought this episode stunk. It felt like a recycled plot from an episode of "The A Team".
I loved the first two episodes, episode 3 was decent but I saw some red flags in it and I really feel like this episode went over a cliff.

Now all I can think of is Mr T the Jedi
"I pity the fool who goes to the dark side."
The little Yoda sure does cover up the ugly parts. If they release an animatronic Baby Yoda doll for Xmas they are going to make a killing.
I hope she keeps getting better and keeps getting work, because she’s a hell of a presence on screen, and does action more believably than just about anyone I’ve seen. She willingly took a concussion in Haywire because she insisted that Fassbender slam her into a wall with full momentum. Still one of the most brutal fight scenes ever.
Yikes, I thought the first episode was average. Not my show for sure!
Wow, I am floored by that. Not like a big corporation to leave a nickle on the table. To willfully give up some huge Xmas money is shocking.

I cannot believe the reasoning for the the lack of merch. Seems crazy. Especially considering the reveal was in episode 1 of the series. It’s the only explanation that makes sense but maybe there’s more to this story. (Maybe Lucas restricting it as a trade-off to use the species)
35 minutes of Mando sitting in the tavern watching baby Yoda drink bone broth before the bounty hunter shows up at the end would be kind of boring.
We get to see that, yes, there are normal people in this universe just trying to live their lives. And also get to see where some of the Imperial tech is ending up. Also needed to introduce the next main character on the show. I imagine she'll have some ex-rebel contacts that may be useful for trying to smuggle a child around the galaxy. And he owes her one or two now, so their next adventure-of-the week episode might be about helping her.
Part of the legacy of the Original Trilogy is the ramping up of the world building for each new film. Star Wars (the 1977 film) had such cool... everything. New/interesting aliens, vehicles, technology, landscapes, lore, etc. Oh yeah? Wait till you see The Empire Strikes Back. Even newer and more interesting aliens, vehicles, technology, landscapes, lore, etc. Oh *YEAH*? Wait till you see Return of the Jedi EVEN NEWER AND MORE INTERESTING aliens, technology, vehicles, landscapes, etc.
So, it's almost like for a movie or tv show to "feel" like Star Wars, it has to build the world out in all (or many) of these ways and that's... difficult. Would a movie or tv show "feel" like Star Wars if it didn't show us any new aliens, vehicles, etc.? I dunno. With that in mind, how long can you continue to show us new / interesting parts of this world. This may have been my favorite episode so far, but the little village felt like it was out of some other sci-fi universe. I dunno. What everyone else thinks if this is an actual issue or if I'm way off.
This episode was so the 7 samurai/magnificent 7 I kept expecting it to twist dark at the and. But it didn't.
There’s nothing in canon that says that the Star Wars galaxy doesn’t have (for instance) Golden Retrievers - not a race of aliens that have Golden Retriever like features, but literal Golden Retrievers.
That said, I imagine that if in Episode IX Fin’s new sidekick was Air Bud, your reaction would be less “Huh. Interesting. The SW universe has golden retrievers. Who knew?!” and more “Wtf?!”
To be fair, that's most planets in sci-fi
if next week they pull the same I’m out.
Humbug
