Those behind-the-scenes photos are really cool. The way they used those LED screens to seamlessly integrate real actors and props with CGI backgrounds was groundbreaking. It couldn’t have been done 3 years ago.
NFBisms, I understand why you don’t really like the show, but I didn’t feel like the changes in tone were at all jarring. I’m glad the show wasn’t overly kid-friendly or overly adult-friendly, Star Wars has always been a franchise that has something for everyone. There are some light-hearted moments for kids, some dark moments for adults, and Baby Yoda, which is for all ages. It’s far more tonally consistent than some other entries in the franchise (glances at TPM and TLJ).
