Episode is up. The critics here will undoubtedly be frustrated that the overall plot still has little forward momentum, but honestly this might be my favorite one so far. It kinda felt like Reservoir Dogs in Space.
Also, X-Wings!

Very clever episode. I really liked it... all the way down to the end.
“Are those X-wings?”
Minimal participation by the Yodaling this ep, but just the right dose. I liked that it was more “Mando”-centric.
And with a 40 minute runtime, folks should be happy.

Whelp, I missed that... was reading up on Chapter 6 and totally didn't catch that
This just keep getting better.
... well, and we knew that that was Billy Burr playing Mayfield.

Is this the first time we’ve seen a male sexy Jabba’s dancer lady?

Very good episode, but I am really tired of the "I thought he'd be bigger" and "Nice to see you, too" clichés, and they were both in this episode within 30 seconds of each other!

Really fun episode. A bit different than the rest so far. I liked that it mostly all took place on that Rebel prisoner ship. Cool seeing Mando working with some scum and villainy type characters, even though they ultimately betrayed him and he had to take action against them. The ending was cool seeing the X-Wings too.

Bib Fortuna or Qin?
(No either way.)
What threw me at first was Xi’an having fangs. Then I remembered Bib Fortuna did too. Twi’leks seem to have a lot of variety. Oddly though, the Twi’leks bothered me here. Their head tentacles didn’t look quite right and I’m not sure why. They just looked ... kind of cheap?
Other than that, loved the episode!

From Wookiepedia:
In Twi'leks, lekku were shapely prehensile tentacles that grew from the crown of their skulls.[1] While Twi'leks normally had two lekku,[1]certain individuals like Orn Free Taa had four of them.[2] Those organs were very sensitive to touch, and a damaged lek could cause severe harm to a Twi'lek.[1] In addition to their spoken language, Ryl,[3] the Twi'leks could also communicate through subtle lekku gestures.[4]Despite the high sensitivity of those organs,[1]some Twi'leks like Cham Syndulla tattooed their lekku.[5] Some wore them simply hanging down their back[6] or falling over the chest,[7] while others like Bib Fortuna bent them around the neck or shoulders for aesthetic purposes.[8]

We had a former Rebel shock trooper with Cara Dune and now we have a former Imperial shock trooper with Mayfield.
They’re totally going to have to work together some day aren’t they?

Imperial sniper ... But he wasn’t a stormtrooper wiseass!
Laughed heartily at that one.

No, Bib Fortuna has two. He wears one of them swept across his chest and over his shoulder like an ascot or scarf, so it's kind of hard to tell he has two. His scenes are also dark and he doesn't have a lot of screentime. When I saw ROTJ, I thought he just had one at first, and didn't realize he was of the same species as Oola at first.
Another fun fact: Twi'lek skin colors have different meanings.
Speaking of Twi'leks, I wish they would have made Darth Talon one of the Knights of Ren.
