Well, I really enjoyed the first two episodes. It definitely has that Spielberg/Goonies vibe, but My wife and I are really enjoying it. I'm still not entirely sold on the fact that the Star Wars universe has suburbs, doesn't feel quite right to me.
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.
