Fantastic second episode after an excellent first one. I've seen some call it a "filler" episode, nah, someone's comparison to an RPG is perhaps more accurate with this episode being a series of complications which I adore.
It just has a great feel to it, mood, atmosphere, vibe, look. Goransson's score is super different and fresh. And I need to see more behind the scenes because I can't tell what's real, practical and what's a virtual set so to speak. I'm guessing the desert scenes could have been shot somewhere in California, since they shot there but heh, who knows.
It just has great scope, Favreau is too modest when he says the scope isn't that big, it's fairly contained for now but the production values are as high as you'd expect.
Very cool developments with a certain character too, I can already tell this is going to head in a cool direction and will be the hook of the show.
And it looks stunning obviously, let's not forget to give praise to Baz Idoine too, who shot a lot of 2nd unit before with Fraser and shot the second episode and 4 others in the season. It's funny, I think Rogue One, as well shot as it is, looked too clean and digital seemed like the wrong fit considering it took place right before ANH but it works much better here.
Would still look better on film but the Alexa LF and Ultra Vista combo is dope.
EDIT: About the length, Pascal said this: "Pascal adds that Favreau and the other producers were never committed to a specific composition for each episode. One will likely feel “much more intimate,” while the next will be “epic and 15 pages longer than the previous one.”
