OK, just finished bingeing the show.

Frankly I don’t feel any particular way about it in general, although I did appreciate specific parts, such as when Boba Fett and the Tuskens assault the spice train, which obviously borrowed from Westerns and Lawrence of Arabia, the Night of a thousand tears in Mandalore which was reminiscent of the Terminator movies. The episode I enjoyed the most was the fifth one, because as I posted earlier, I’m a sucker for Mandalorian lore.

Bringing Grogu back so soon felt so forced, and I felt total indifference towards Luke. All this constant regurgitation of established SW stuff has rendered me numb, and I really wish Filoni took some creative chances and stopped appealing to nostalgia and callbacks.
