The 2nd episode - is this for real?!

I am at awe how simplistic the episode 2 plot is: The Jawas strip his ship, so he has to barter the parts back, and they want something from a bad monster in return, an egg. So he has to go to the cave to fight the bad monster and get the egg. Then he can buy back his parts. 2 year olds' picture books have more nuances than this. And that scene when the Jawas start smearing that yolk over their faces was basically an EF you to the audience in my opinion. And it's so much out of Jawa's character to trade the equipment they so meticulously collect and sell for an instant gratification of tossing around that yolk like a pack of animals.

If you're 3 feet tall and live in the desert, and the best tasting food on your planet is guarded by a dangerous monster, you'd pay a steep price for someone to go get it for you. and they stripped his ship in probably less than a day as a team, so it was found money to them.

Does a plot have to be overly complicated to be good?

The episode centered around a giant turd monster that lived in a giant butthole with shit everywhere, and ends with a bukake scene. It's absolutely nuts and I have no idea how Favreau got away with it.
