'The Mandalorian' Season 2 Episode 3: Bryce Dallas Howard praised for 'exceptionally directed' chapter
Spoilers for 'The Mandalorian' Season 2 Episode 3 'Chapter 11- The Heiress'
The season opener was an hour long and featured a battle with a Krayt Dragon while giving a glimpse of Boba Fett. The next episode had Mando/Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) fending off an arachnid attack on an icy planet and now he joins Bo-Katan (Katee Sackhoff) to help takeover an artillery aircraft that belongs to the Empire. The explosive episode had enough Easter eggs and reveals to leave fans gung-ho on Twitter. Starting from confirming the appearance of Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) to the Dark Saber storyline, there was enough material for discussion till next Friday.
The credit of course duly went to Bryce Dallas Howard for her crisp and action-fuelled chapter. Twitter was lavish in their praise of the filmmaker. "All the love to Bryce Dallas Howard for yet another exceptionally directed episode of #TheMandalorian we're not worthy, BUT WE WANT MORE @BryceDHoward," read one of the tweets.
"As far as the Directors go Debra Chow directed my faves (being a massive Kenobi fan this bodes well for me), and now Bryce Dallas Howard just directed one thats right up there with them. Im so happy. So much for sleeping tonight," read a comment.

"To all you people saying Bryce Dallas Howard shouldnt be directing due to her episode in Season 1 need to apologize right now," a fan remarked.
