I loved chapter 5. Chapter 6 was quite uneven but still one of the more enjoyable episodes of this show. Luke looked surprisingly great most of the time. The lip movements were still odd when he talked and the voice was hit or miss to me. And it made no sense for him to adhere to the “no attachments” dogma of the old Jedi (surely they have a plan to explain this? Right?) but overall it was cool to see Luke building his school and training Grogu.

Maybe I’m just too stuck in old pre-Disney lore but wasn’t Han running spice for Jabba? And now all of a sudden spice running is a big no-no on Tatooine? I feel like they haven’t given enough explanation about why this is such a contentious issue. Especially in a lawless, crime-lord controlled place where drug running seems like it’d be par for the course. And what little they have given us seems to indicate it’s more than just a turf war type of problem. Fett and Vanth both clearly don’t want spice anywhere near their territory. But we don’t know why.

I agree with pretty much ALL the complaints about this show. For me the two biggest issues are 1) Fett himself not being decisive or tough enough and 2) the overall disjointed writing and editing of the show.

But I’m starting to accept it for what it is (a subpar, poorly planned/written show with some really cool stuff sprinkled throughout) and just enjoying the good bits. It’s still more fun to watch than the prequels or sequels.
