three stars is still a recommendation

i did not love Rise of Skywalker. it is my least-favorite of the new trilogy. i'll rewatch it when it comes out on home video i suppose. there were many fine moments but i failed to suspend my disbelief more often than not. not really what i wanted considering that Star Wars was my first movie in the theater; it's odd to feel like the story that unfolded across my lifetime dribbled to an okay end.*

fortunately i have The Mandelorian, and all of Clone Wars and Rebels to rewatch. plus my game group is gearing up to switch from doing a D&D setting playtest to an Edge of the Empire game.




*i decided not to write about why it's only okay. i don't need to dwell on it and i don't need to harsh other people's squee.

I have to wait until I can watch it on the iPad since apparently it's full of strobing, sigh.

But I did not know there were TV shows. Wow, am I out of the loop.

I enjoyed your summary of the various TV shows, over on Sartorias's blog. My youngest kid loved Clone Wars.

The Mandelorian is wonderful. It's so cleverly done. I recognized at least a half-dozen nods to classic Westerns and that was just in the first two episodes.
