As someone who loves Akira Kurosawa, I think this episode was a nice little adventure that honored one of his greatest cinematic achievements. It fits straight into the "Star Wars" world (which is why they also did it in "The Mandalorian"), and all the characters fit their roles perfectly as the mentors for this small town. Hondo returns after his appearance in the first season and he is as enjoyable as he has always been, with his dialogue being really funny. The episode did not necessarily feel like it belongs in the show, but I am happy that it is there. It was entertaining and did a great job of honoring one of the greatest filmmakers to have ever lived. I am, however, glad that we go back to more important storylines in the coming episodes.
