It’s funny that I did not make that connection. Maybe because Star Wars is so firmly connected to westerns by way of samurai movies in my head.
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Atropa:
🕷Do not watch anything of The Mandalorian S202 after the crash-landing. In fact, the whole episode can easily be skipped, as nothing plot-related happens.

Thank you for the warning!

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Watching The Mandalorian and having a moment of "Ooh, hey, I've seen this movie!"
Oh, gosh, Atropa, yeah, miss this one.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I nearly lost my shit on this episode and those things don't normally get to me as much.
I totally got the other vibe with the Child, though. Oy.

I am not liking this little development about Baby Yoda.

Right? For me, it would have been funny to watch Din repeatedly catching Baby Yoda going for the eggs, scooping him up and saying "NO, we have been over this, those are not food, you are getting a time-out" in Exasperated Parent Voice.

Although I'd have happily lost 70% of that for whatever came out of a slightly different conversation on the ship:
"You got Zero's vocabulizer working? Great. What do I call you, do we have a language in common or do we need to keep using this, and are there any other electronics repairs you can take on so that we can get our kids off this planet before we freeze to death/miss your deadline?"

I have to assume that Din's disinterest in finding out his passenger's name was a characterization beat showing his continued misanthropy?

Queen's Gambit is my favourite viewing this year. For rabbit hole fun, there are bunches of articles to read, and a really interesting interview on Pop Culture Happy Hour with a female child chess prodigy, though the series supposedly is based on Bobby Fisher.
The lead looks very much like Plei, don't you think? Anyone else a fan of the show?
It's right up there with Justified, Mad Men, The Americans, Breaking Bad et al.
