The first season of Counterfeit at Disney Plus have revamped the Star Wars franchise as a source of cold-blooded dialogue. Whether it was sharing our love for Baby Yoda or arguing for the mysterious character at the end of Episode 5, there is much more to explore.
However, some episodes were more appropriate than others. To help with your viewing – and review – for the entire eighth episode of the arc before the 2nd season of the world in the fall of 2020, here is Polygon's official site for the series and major flaws. We've talked.
8. Chapter 5: The Gunslinger (full review)
While Counterfeit has many fan service moments sprinkled throughout the series, no episode was less embarrassing than “The Gunslinger.” After returning to Tatooine, our hero steps into the famous cantina of yore. But even consuming the energy of the breeze wasn't the main problem of the episode.
Burgeoning bounty hunter, Toro Calican (Jake Cannavale), tries to get rid of the Han Solo swagger, but in the end he sounds dumb. Granted, he should be a screwdriver, but his performance is solid, as if he was dragged down the road the day they started shooting and told he would be at a Star War event. It's reminiscent of the woodworking that made the Prequel Trilogy era such a motto.
Spaceport engineer Peli Motto (Amy Sedaris) also rubs the hammy Prequel vibes, trying to chew scenes as a comic relief, but the script gives her little to work with and without the broader hooks of droid gags.
You probably skip the edge to the end of this one to catch the "mysterious". Otherwise you have to deal with some suffering Attack Of The Clones flashbacks. – Russian Frushtick
Best moment: To see the legs of someone who may have just been strangled outside the Sarlacc pit.
7. Chapter 4: Holyfull review)
With the influence of a cowboy and a samurai dressed proudly as a mythosaur insignia, it's no wonder Counterfeit adjusting its type Magnificent Seven/Seven Samurai at the beginning of season 1. But the tips were small and familiar: riding the hammy connection between the Mandalorian and the leader of a remote town that protects its people from attacking Imperial forces, "Sancwele" plays well with the way viewers are familiar with genre legends. There were stirring speeches, emotional pleadings, and war preparations that met with Baby Yoda drinking soup.
It's a Star Wars series of numbers, and while the final battle with AT-ST erupts, it doesn't challenge Mandalorian's physical or mental challenge – enough to stick. – Math Patches
Best moment: Introducing Cara Dune, who hits beskar on our hero opposite actress Gina Carano.
6. Chapter 7: Reorganization (full review)
The first season of Counterfeit it was like two different shows: An episodic adventure where Mando and Baby Yoda visit a new planet each week, and a story preserved about saving Baby from the dangerous remains of the Empire. “Chapter 7” linked those two issues. Its episode was just a bit of a legwork – but it made Chapter 8 bigger (more on that later).
Mando's encounter with his team, after six episodes of meeting people we thought would never be seen again, surprised me. Who doesn't love a good "team-up" sequence? But when the battle begins at the end of the episode, things fall apart. From the very first shot, We know there is another episode on the way and not even kidnapping Baby Yoda can give this emotional battle. – Austen Goslin
The best moment: Carl Weathers complains that Baby Yoda is trying to eat him. One of the funniest things is the first season.
5. Chapter 6: Prisoner (full review)
While our editor Matt Patches likes to entertain his Westerns – space or otherwise – I found my own thing to entertain: old war movies. Place Get it! Get it! Get it! either Click Above River Kwai on, whether I'm past or near the end, and I'm a happy man. In fact, one of my favorite TV shows came out in 1962. It's called Chat!, a five-episode serial War II with 152 episodes. I can watch it forever.
I love to see Counterfeit run longer, which is why I like "Prisoner."
Chapter six proves that there are many, many different stories left to tell in the Star Wars universe. Each of the colored characters – burly Devaronia, wiley Twi & # 39; s, and humanitarian smugglers – can easily handle a few episodes on their own. I hope that people like Jon Favreau, Taika Waititi, Rick Famuyiwa, and Bryce Dallas Howard get plenty of opportunity to do it for many more years to come. – Charlie Hall
Best moment: It's just the end. That's when we heard that, instead of a goat killing revenge, Din Jarren blocked the screen. Not only does it show the depth of his personality, it puts these characters in contention that when fans meet, they learn more about their stories, and fall in love with them.
4. Chapter 1: The Bounty (full review)

Shared media experiences are few and far between these days. With platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime dropping the entire season from orbit, even the most frequent discussions of liquid water can be burned by accident. But, it sounds like everyone got Baby Yoda together the same week it was shared. It was a moment of true Disney magic in the galaxy far, far away.
The whole episode is well-constructed, with the timing and premise of the big reveal. Werner Herzog, who almost sets the tone for the rest of the next seven-episode arc, is a revelation. While the Prime Minister is finally saved for the next installment in a series of actions and positive results, "Chapter 1" is a good place to start. – CH
Best moment: There is a fraction of a second, just before the camera turns to face the baby for the first time, when you can't make out the color of his head. I just cried, a moment before someone in the room was watching me. It's only a tell-tale for those who have grown up in Star Wars who may have seen it, and it sounds like it's heard between the camera's behind-the-scenes and the front-screen superfans for the first time.
3. Chapter 3: Sin (full review)
“Chapter 3” is an indication of how much drama could equal half an hour when the writers knew the atmosphere. Mando says farewell to Nick Nolte's Kuiil, ties with Baby Yoda, gives him away, and fights with other Mandalorians, changes the heart, saves Baby Yoda, and escapes the heavy assault with guns for about 30 minutes. It's an intriguing scene and made for one of the most entertaining episodes of the series.
But most importantly, it's proof that Counterfeit you can do more to show new planets and fight the muddy areas. Mando's emotional change in caring for a Child, no matter the dangers, grinds deeper than Just Another Pulpy Star Wars Adventure. And when he moved the little ball from his boat to Baby Yoda, we made sure that we were all on Mando's side, because we knew that from then on he would protect Baby Yoda. Or at least try, you're … not the most experienced parent. – AG
The best moment: Mandalori reveal themselves to save Mando and Baby Yoda. We have seen groups of Mandalorians fighting together earlier in a series of motion pictures, but it was the first time they had seen armed soldiers doing live work and watching this difficult.
The first Mandalorian episode made people hopefully cautious, but "Chapter 2" turned into something. With standard introductory introductions to the driver, Chapter 2 was comfortable in the universe and gave us the first real insight into what makes a Baby Yoda look like.
The “baby” is notable for having almost no conversation. Mando's ship has been hijacked, continues the deadly attack on Jawa, and lives in peace. His quest for The Egg includes some of the most exciting (and memorable) moments of the series: Baby Yoda sailing around a shell, Baby Yoda using power for the first time, and Baby Yoda dropping the rest of the frog.
The episode flows with quiet confidence, capturing the perfect balance between its Ultra-serious and goofball tones – thus overlooking its two main characters. It was an episode that made us all fall in love with Baby Yoda and was no different. – RF
Best moment: Baby Yoda eats a fucking frog completely.
1. Chapter 8: Redemption
Image: Lucasfilm
The last episode of CounterfeitYour first season has it all: badass nurse spinner popping up like a fast biker (with Baby Yoda giggling all the way); Jason Sudeikis as the disgusting Scout Trooper, arranging the classic Star-Cops mashup spoof, Moments; the adorable but shy look of Din Djarin; and the infamous Moff Gideon a little distracted from his TIE Fighter drop-off with a black and white lipstick in hand, which leaves us with big questions heading into season 2.
The last IG-11 surrender, played for laughs in "Chapter 1," affects the claim in the end.
“Redemption” was a satisfying send-off Counterfeit. It pays off for a muddy battle, when Djarin finally accepts his guitar. We learn without any doubt as to why he does not object properly to the droids, but he greatly respects the City. And Mando's wish that "I should get one of those & # 39; t come true, when Armorer gives him a flight.
"Chapter 8" was full of paychecks, while also providing unexpected insights into the equally hired Djarat Cara Dune and Gref Karga. That is revealed by a significant revelation concerning Moff Gideon too: He he knows things about our heroes. Also CounterfeitThe post-Imperium world, where privacy and privacy are just as important as Beskar, is understandably making them uncomfortable.
Our heroes feel overconfident after cleaning Navarro, but that leaves us in a good spot for next season, which is probably the most exciting revelation. – Michael McWhertor
Best moment: The open-air involvement of the episode, featuring two experimental shooting squad as they invade Baby Yoda, is a lot of fun. It remains to be seen forever, but it does not waste time thanks to comedians Jason Sudeikis and Adam Pally, who are living better lives under well-dressed white armor.
