I rode my motorcycle instead.

Brilliant idea, will have to get mine out as well for a much needed escape from the world for a while 😃 (dual sport, so I go exploring remote bush trails and locations)

Most likely, much more riding and a couple evenings of Ford vs Ferrari and A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood.

Ford vs Ferrari is properly awesome, if you generally like car / racing films especially some of the old ones like Steve McQueen’s Le Mans (1971) and Grand Prix (1966) then I’m sure you will love this movie. I’m sure a lot of the historic story has been dramatised for this adaptation to the big screen but it doesn’t feel massively over done or unbelievable. My only criticisms (without spoiling anything) is there’s a bit of an arbitrary phrase said at the start of the movie and repeated at the end that sounds a bit ‘Fast n Furious’-esque which feels a bit silly / out of place. I also feel like they missed out / forgot about showing the awesome craziness of the Mulsanne straight and the speeds they got up to along there even in those days.

Truth be told, The Mandalorian is Star Wars for me now.

Same for me and with arguably the best episodes being directed by Deborah Chow, I really hope this is an indication of the quality we might expect for the Kenobi series.
