The first two episodes were very watchable. Looking forward to where this one goes.

I’m still not entirely sold on the fact that the Star Wars universe has suburbs

On the other hand, I remain amused to no end that the Star Wars universe is such a rundown hellhole that their idealized paradise of eternal treasure and prosperity is... a mid-century modern house with a white picket fence at the end of a cul-de-sac, and a stable 9-5 accounting job with a decent dental plan.

Frankly, that’s looking like paradise to most of us at this point. The kvetching of Gen X staring at an IKEA catalogue has become a dystopian dream for Millennials on up.

Show me a world where my kid has to worry about a Stormtrooper and not a school shooter. I’ll take it.
