Overall I’m enjoying this series, at least as much as I enjoyed Rogue One, which takes place not too far after in the chronology.
Something I like about all the new Star Wars in stark contrast to all the new Star Trek is the great lengths they have gone to remain faithful to the look and feel and sound of the original. Trek defends the changes on not wanting the new shows to feel dated, but Star Wars has proven it doesn’t have to look dated at all. There is something vintage (even “steampunk”) to the look of 60s and 70s sci-fi. I’m glad Star Wars celebrates that. I’m annoyed Trek does not. Here’s my gripe about the character of the Third Sister. SPOILER SPACE In this week’s episode, it is revealed that she was a youngling when Luke and Leia were born. So she ought to be a couple years older than the young Princess Leia. Nope… she’s much older. I like the backstory for the character, and I think the online backlash by the InCel trolls against the actress is just stupid, but the age thing bugs me. -- Kevin M.
