After the excellent restoration of Fett in The Mandalorian, I was very excited for this series. Particularly after that teaser scene last year.

I have to say, I’ve been less than enthused. It’s slow, he’s soft, the sets look like sets, and for the love of God - we’re on Tatooine AGAIN?!!
What the hell? Just how tiny is the Galaxy Far Far Away?

Along that line, it’s once again being depicted as some sort of very populated planet, complete with some very large cities. That’s very Prequel-esque. Mandalorian had gone a long way toward restoring it to some sort of backwater planet with very few inhabitants, circa 1977.

I don’t need to see more Hutts, Hammerheads, Gamorreans, etc. I’m assuming I’ve missed a Gonk or two by now.
I thought the Mods looked completely out of place on Tatooine. In fact, when they first show the Mods, I stopped it and put in a Spider-Man film.

Hopefully it gets better. If not, I have The Mandalorian episodes of Fett to hold me. They restored the character and his dignity. That’s fine for me.
