Quoted from benheck:As a casual SW fan I enjoyed it. It's basically a Western set in SW universe which is a nice change from the movies that just keep rehashing the Empire vs Rebels motif.
Thought it did an excellent job making the characters immediately likeable though I was sad to see the Droid die.
Thought - the early scene where he won't take a shiny Droid vehicle and instead wants a human driving a POS - was that an Uber vs Cabs reference I wonder?
It was ok. Agree with the Western motif, although it was interesting how the payment was a actually a metal to be used as part of his uniform. It did feel a bit rushed and low on charter build up, but it's only 37 minutes long, not much you can do with that. In the fold films when they show real X-wings or Empire Transports in a bay, it's always cool. With these new shows, they are all just another ship that's flying around. The sense of wonder has long disappeared.
