I’m glad to hear others on this forum enjoyed it as well!
About the cameos, I was very surprised at all of them except for the ones shown in the trailer. Only Dr. Evazan and Ponda Baba were almost a little too much but I still thought it was funny. Hey, they were wanted in 12 systems… Other than that, none of the cameos felt out of place. I mean, this probably happened like within a week or two before SW, it would have been more weird if the same people were nowhere to be seen. I also liked how Red 5 was bumbling around and then killed. I thought it was very cool to have the original leaders there although compared to everyone else they were a hell of a lot calmer.
