I'm not very good at writing reviews so it'll be short. Time and time again Jon and Dave manage to give fans what they want. It's insane how epic they manage to make every scene. I'll be rewatching this episode quite a few times just because of how it was shot.

Really good job to everyone who helped make that episode and The Mandalorian in general, perfection imo.

Oh man. The fanboy side of me was well nourished watching this episode. As a huge clone wars fan it was great. Episodes 1 and 2 were good, but this was some of the best star wars I've seen in a while. These next episodes are going to be crazy

First of all kudos to Bryce Dallas Howard for directing this episode. Although I liked her episode from last season, this one beats it by miles. The episode was a little short in length but I think it's better that they are not putting in unnecessary filler scenes to just stretch to a 50 minute long episode. I have spoken.

It was great to see Katie Sackhoff bring an assist to Mando.

The thing that is great about this show is that when we think we know what to expect, something else happens and it flattens us.

I was glad that frog woman had at least a few of her eggs left- and that Mini Yoda started to respect that these things might actually hatch into living beings.

But then again on Trask there are plenty of little octopus things to eat, or that might eat little miniature Yodas.

It appears that after their ordeal, Mando and the frog lady have developed a kind of rapport.

Also for appearances sake, Trask seems to be the planet of Mon Calamari. So now that we have seen Mon Calamari admirals in the movies, now we get to see Mon Calamari Dock workers and bartenders.

And Mando meets up with some of his kind, except are they really his kind? A lot of questions after this episode especially interest in a certain light saber that we saw in the last episode of season one.

I was told that this particular object actually has a history in Star Wars canon. So I am glad that these stories are being told.

I am also wondering why there are so many imperial troops and ships still around... although not in power anymore they still have the ability to bully their way around planets like Trask.

My only real complaint about this show is that when it gets into the episodic stories, they are just so short... although with varying degrees of relevance toward the whole story.

This episode was very relevant and pushes, rather propels the story forward in a great leap regardless of its short length.

And it was even a woman Director, Bryce Dallas Howard.

Chapter 4, now chapter 11- both are my top 5 mandalorian episodes. I wish Bryce would direct more episodes in a season. Her storytelling, angles, aesthetics, locations, are always on point. There are many jaw dropping moments in this episode. Its a roller coaster of a episode for your emotional state. Lastly, kudos to Jon Favreau, Dave Giloni and Bryce, of course for delivering yet another power packed, impactful STAR WARS episode that cathes its very spirit on every level.

I cannot express this enough, give STAR WARS TO JON FAVREAU!! NOW!! This episode is amazing!!! Nuff said!!

Mando goes to new planet

Mando meets someone who will give him A, if he gives them B.

Set out for task

Finish task and Mando says goodbye.

Same structure for every episode this season

Clone wars references doesn't make an episode great; sure it's fan service but what really matters is how they use it. I can tell you they didn't use it very well.

I think my main problem with the recent mandalorian episodes is how formulaic it's becoming. Mando goes to a planet, tries to get information, finds someone with the information, has to help that person, things don't go according to plan, things then work out, Mando gets information and leaves planet. This type of story telling makes it feel like the plot is moving at a snails pace because constantly Mando is getting side tracked, making it feel more like filler and less actual substance. It makes me feel like they're are padding out the story to keep the show going as long as possible, which really annoys me.

A whole episode just for a small tease for the next episode is a waste of an episode.

This season is really wearing me out. I don't think they'll ever reach the heights of season 1 (especially the first 3 episodes). Not with the current way they're doing things.

Congrats to Bryce on this one. Everything about it was masterful. 10/10

So Much Better Than the Last Episode. Very Action Packed! Also Back on Track storyline wise.

THIS IS THE WAY! :)

This is the type of episode we have come to enjoy and expect from this series but at 35 minutes it is way too short! They need to be 45 min at least. This is the way!!

The Heiress competently kicks off the main plot of the second season. Director Bryce Dallas Howard has upped her directing game since the smaller-scaled ATST-centric episode from last season, delivering a tight engaging action-packed 35 minutes with an awesome guest appearance from Battlestar Galactica's Katee Sackhoff. It is the most cinematic out of the new season thus far, topping the IMAX-filmed Krayt Dragon sequence from The Marshal.

The art direction on this show never ceases to amaze me. I was impressed by how tactile the ocean planet Trask looked, it was reminiscent of the opening fishing boat section from Man of Steel or even the ocean scene with the offshore windmills from Tenet. The blue-toned gloomy working man atmosphere feels like some East coast fishing port and the fishing boat especially looked like it was used and lived in.

I always check the writer of the week's episode during the end credits and every week I see it's just Jon Favreau doing it all by himself. Really? No help from a writer's room so far? All that detail? In my best James Earl Jones voice, I say, "Most impressive."

The Heiress heavily incorporates lore from the Clone Wars animated series, of which I want to go back and finish now. Lacking the foresight, I had dismissed the series because it wasn't live-action and therefore not canon, only to regret it now. I love how Jon Favreau intelligently incorporates inconsistencies in the Star Wars lore and spins them into more stories. The idea that there are different sects of Mandalorians is quite clever.

In a post-Return of the Jedi timeline, I do wonder why it's so hard to find the Jedi. If there are any of them who are alive, they wouldn't need to hide anymore and are probably in the process of re-franchising. I would think Mando only needs to travel to Coruscant, the center of the Star Wars universe, to find Luke Skywalker. I digress.

The burning question left in my mind is "Is Giancarlo Esposito's Moff Gideon force sensitive?" The fact that he was last seen brandishing a lightsaber-like weapon at the end of season 1 and added with the fact that Jedi are going to appear on the show, I worry that the presence of Jedi and Sith would overpower a well-armed bounty hunter. On the other hand, we've seen our fair share of blaster fights so maybe this is a great way to mix things up. We've seen how well Jango Fett held up against the Jedi in Attack of the Clones, decapitation aside.

Suffice to say, I am pumped for the next episode.

Well in fact there is more than one "She" that is back in this episode, fans of Clone wars will be pleased... Great episode with quite a few unexpected moments, explores the story line of Mandalore and Empire further with a few massive hints on what's coming next...

Great job by Bryce Dallas Howard who directed the weakest episode in my liking before (s01 ep4). This show keeps us amazed and once we think wow the best episode so far they come up with even better one. Perfect sound effects in this and appropriate scores to follow twists, action scenes, damaged ship, suspense... We got all of the Star Wars in this episode: beautiful planet approach, smelly harbor, dodgy inn, classy imperial ship, aliens, creatures, heroes and villains, bits of comic relief and insane action. Keep 'em coming
