What an addition to the SW universe! Favreau & co. are to be congratulated for creating that mix of Western and SF that Joss Whedon tried to capture with "Firefly".
Pedro Pascal as the title character seems to be a mashup of three different Western icons: Josh Randall (Steve McQueen) from "Wanted Dead or Alive", Clint Eastwood's spaghetti western hero, and The Virginian. For an old Western fan, this is epic! And then placing him in this particular context is a promise waiting to happen.
The first episode itself was a bit hard to follow, as if you wandered in after a commercial break and had to try to figure out the story. Once it got going though, it was a good introduction to the characters.
