Brutal! But, based on the handful of episodes I watched, on point. Just such a weird choice. “You know that universe, famous for laser sword fights, exciting space battles and dialogue that winks at the camera? Let’s strip out all that joy and make a not particularly well written serious drama there!”

I get the feeling this was written by a guy who really wished he was writing a Game of Thrones knock-off, but somehow failed upward and now he has to do that beloved franchise that prints money… Apparently in interviews he admitted to not liking Star Wars… Given how long it took for Stormtroopers to show up instead of “Guys in generic military uniforms”, I could kind of tell.

Launchs my friend, you’re kind of alright.
