As always there seems to be a lot to unpack with each episode.
You had to love Mando trying to walk the Child through repairing the Razor Crest! It was much appreciated comic relief. But it was also pretty remarkable that when they were eating in the cargo hold, Mando was comfortable enough to lift his helmet and revealing his chin to the Child. I think his conversation with Bo-Katan in the previous episode made it more clear to him that there's more to being Mandalorian than what the Armorer had taught him. Plus his bond with the Child is that much deeper that he felt comfortable showing some of his face. Between this change in Din Djarin's behavior and what seemed like foreshadowing about the Armorer (the abandoned covert, along with her forge), it seems like this situation might get more complicated.
Going back to Nevarro seemed like the right move. The Mon Cal on Trask barely got the Razor Crest flying, and the repairs were much needed. I was amazed at how quickly the ship got repaired in the overall context of the episode. "Marshal Dune" seemed to be kicking some Aqualish ass, along with saving the space ferret. And it's seeming to me like Aqualish don't like ANYBODY. But on the subject of Nevarro.... does it seem like the production is re-using a number of costumes and masks from previous movies in the Nevarro scenes? In this episode alone there's the Mimbanese mechanic, and there was at least one alien in the marketplace that was also in the Cloud Rider gang. I'm fairly certain there's another droid that was also recycled from SOLO that has popped up there, too.
The Imperial base proved to be a more significant site than I think anyone realized. One of the "volunteers" in the lab bore a striking resemblance to a certain sequel trilogy character. And a plot point about the Child seems to be becoming increasingly clear. Dr. Pershing made a reference to the Child's "M count" for all of you Episode 1 fans! And the experimentation by the Imperials is making them look even more like the Germans in WW2, which was one of George Lucas's conscious decisions about the Empire in the OT.
All in all I think there's plenty in this episode that could inspire future toy releases. Another appearance for the Frontier TIE Fighters was very welcome. The beefed up Imperial troop transport with the gun turret was thoroughly awesome. I could go for a couple of the Aqualish crooks.
Heck, I'd even like a figure of the school teacher protocol droid!
As for the big reveal at the end? WHOA. I was so not expecting them to go there. I'm interested to see how they realize the Dark Troopers, if that is indeed what Moff Gideon was inspecting.
