Loved it, though sarlaccs, massiffs, at least three distinct species of krayt dragons, and now the Harryhausen Kraken all eat dewbacks, banthas, rontos, yerbas, womp rats, and scurriers, plus there are two different native sentient humanoids and a ton of "immigrant" humanoids and other sentient aliens. The only water we've seen exists in the only plant we've seen, which is rare as hell, and what can be extracted from the air by devices that can't be very efficient. How the fuck does this ecosystem work?
Also I know Disney isn't as into explaining every tiny detail but I want the backstory of that Stormtrooper in the sarlacc. He didn't look like he'd been there all that long.

I didn't like the new critter. I also want to know if that grey haired person getting raided by the biker gang was someone we already know or not.

i mean, there are plants and animals that live in Death Valley. clearly, the native populations, both humanoid and wild, adapted/evolved to live in the climate, while the "immigrants" resorted to moisture farming because they haven't.

he looked a bit more digested, and dead, than Fett, so i would presume he had been there longer.

That 6-legged thing was pretty cheesy. The guys who attacked Boba Fett looked like Mortal Kombat or Assasin's Creed characters. I liked it overall, but I'll probably watch it again because I think I missed some of the dialog.
I watched the Boba Fett documentary afterwards. Steve Sansweet and his collection need their own documentary.

Not going to lie, I just about shat myself, and I did jump up and yell "Holy shit!!" when Black Krrsantan strolled out.

I was more excited for Cammie and Fixer.

And if you didn't want to tell "Parkour! Parkour!" In the first episode, you've clearly never seen The Office.

Spent the last week in Florida. 48 years old, first time going to Disneyworld(I’ve been to Disneyland in CA a couple times). Day one, Animal Kingdom. Day two, Magic Kingdom. Day three, Epcot. Yesterday, we went to Hollywood Studios and OMFG I guess I am not over Star Wars. The Galaxy’s Edge portion of the park is…holy shit. When I saw the full size Millennium Falcon I got choked up a little. Then we went on the Falcon ride(the 70 minute wait flew by) and you get to be a pilot, gunner, or engineer in your group of six. I choose pilot. I flew the goddamn Falcon y’all!! I pulled down the silver things and MADE THE JUMP TO HYPERSPACE!!! My heart was going so fast. Words cannot describe how awesome it felt.
Then we went on the Rise of the Resistance ride. Those new trackless rides are amaze balls. You’re basically sitting in a giant roomba that traverses the “ride” in a free form pattern. Like you’ll be going down one hallway and Stormtroopers or whatever pop out of a door and the car in front of you will shoot down a side hallway and your car will stop and back up and head in a different direction. So the ride is different for everyone every time. You could conceivably get on the ride immediately afterwards and have a completely different experience the second time. So fucking cool. The new Ratatouille ride is the same way but that’s not Star Wars so I’ll digress. Then we bounced around the rest of the park for the day. But the grand finale was to head back to Star Wars and Fast Passed a second Falcon ride. I was the gunner this time. Then at 10:00 PM(the park closes at 9:00) and I built my own lightsaber. They do this whole presentation with Cast Members which is pretty cool(you can find YouTube videos of it) and then at the end the dozen or so people who were in your group all ignite their sabers at the same time. Holy shit, I was six years old again.

I'm hoping to go when Molly is old enough to understand and enjoy it (and I've indoctrinated her enough to appreciate it).

Oh, we want to go so bad, and do the Galactic Starcruiser experience, too. Not going to be for quite some time, though.

Good fight scene, great guest star in Book ep 3. Best one for me so far.

That swoop gang sucked. They are the most un-Star Wars thing I've seen in a long time. They look like they stepped out of a bad 90s sci-fi flick.
I like how Danny Trejo can play a Weequay without make up. Wait, what do you mean he didn't?
Actually I hope he's Kitster, all grown up.
Is it just me, or are all the fight scenes slow and over-choreographed?
Same for that show, boring-ass chase scene.
