I was running a couple of episodes behind, so stopped reading this thread, just in case
Finally caught up, and this has been my favourite of Disney's spinoffs.
A couple of thoughts:
This was a very human centric show. Given how rich and commonplace the aliens are in Star Wars, there weren't many on display here at all. I appreciate it's easier with the cartoons, but villages there have a huge mix of races. Apart from a couple of scenes I don't remember any aliens in the background on any of the planets.
Blasters are deadly! One hit and that's it - no wounding, just dead (although I think someone survived being hit in the leg)
I almost missed the cameo at the end. I caught sight of it just too late, fumbled the rewind button and ended up having to fast forward through the entire episode again. Still, it was worth it.
Definitely my new bar for their next shows to match.
There was a recent BBC article on the filming of the dam stuff in Scotland -
