I watched Star Wars on opening night in 1977 and I've been a life-long fan ever since. The kids in this show are more the age of my grandchildren. This is the first time we've had a show that showcases kids in a Star Wars setting and the first time we've seen Star Wars in a suburban setting. This is different than a city like Coruscant. I like it.
Cool reaction, Guys. I've been looking forward to this for a while. This is the fourth tale within The Mandoverse, w/ The Bad Batch being a satellite tale around it. Yeah, like you, I'm curious to know the name of this new (Earth-like suburbs setting) planet We're seeing in The Outer Rim. Yes, the owl creature is the most fascinating new character I'm looking forward to getting to know in this show. I believe that Jude Law's character, Jod Na Nawood is a Force-sensitive (but perhaps not a Former Jedi Padawan), who, based on certain statements from the creators of the show, has a dark, checkered past. These characters will also appear in The Mandalorian & Grogu. Yes, The Amblin is strong with this one. It'd actually be a stroke of brilliance, if, after the Lucasfilm Ltd. logo appears on the screen, the Amblin (E.T. and Elliot) logo follows it; cause that's what this is...a joining of the two aesthetics. If only Steven Spielberg had co-directed one of the episodes. Come to think of it: The next Spielberg/Amblin release will be the epic UFO film he's currently working on. So, in a way, he'll be returning to Sci-Fi/space again. May The Force Be With You, Kent and Chris.
