Danke I’ve got a new toy and am not yet accustomed to its auto “corrects.” Starting a line with a lowercase letter takes a damn act of Congress.

I liked seeing Luke kicking ass and being a Jedi for once. And I know the impending tragedy... but at least for a while he was running around getting’ down with his bad Jedi self, building a school, not just wading through endless friggin family squabbles.

I have that device, Trudy!

Personally, I am enjoying the feeling that the whole final trilogy can just not happen like that.

I know this isn’t that kind of universe, but what if it were?

Well, Din said he’d be seeing Grogu again, so maybe they’ll be off on the Jedi version of summer break when Luke’s trainees meet their fate. That’s my theory and I’m sticking with it.

Also good

But what will happen next season? Single dad in a gig economy whose car keeps breaking down and has sent his kid to boarding school may not be as compelling, you know?

Well, if you’re off helping your new friends restore Mandalore it might be nice to have a Jedi pal who can show up now and again. (Honestly, the Jedi sorta owe them a solid) We can certainly cut between the characters while they’re separated- that’s about as Star Warsy as it gets.

My main problem with the CGI was that Luke looked a bit too smooth. In Jedi he was showing a bit of roughness due to fighting Sith Lords and, possibly, Mark Hamill’s car accident. In this episode he had a post-Empire hand and a pre-Empire face. It was disconcerting.

Agreed, Calli! I couldn’t put my finger on it that precisely but I vaguely thought he looked too young

I’ve been watching Women Who Kill (because it comes on automatically after Discovery on CBS All Access) and enjoying it rather a lot.

There is a greater than zero chance this is due to my unbound adoration of Lucy Liu.
