    I like how they appear to have found good, affordable, CGI-based special effects for aliens that essentially digitize them but they look like 1970s/1980s puppets or suits, which just feels right for Star Wars.

    I'm 56 years old, and I LOVED this show. Not even ashamed. I can't add anything you haven't already said, but I finally have good feelings for Star Wars again after so many years of watching its decline. When I saw Star Wars in the theater back in '77, and Luke Skywalker was staring out at the twin suns, wishing he could be more than he was, I FELT that, even at 10 years old. This is the first show since then that I felt that again. I feel this is going to be a wonderful series, and I'm sure I will enjoy every episode.

When watching it, I both agreed that At Attin looked a little too suburban for Star Wars and recognized my younger self in the characters. I was that kid who had pretend lightsaber fights and read a lot of history and fantasy books. I also remember the animosity between boys and girls, especially the kind of girl who thinks she's so smart and can talk her way out of any situation. This show brought me back to childhood.

    I like the growth of the "pirate nation" I've always been interested in a 3rd party semi legitimate government forming out of the lawless and wild areas of the galaxy, who are strong enough to hold territory from the empire or republic. The Mandalorians seem to be forming such a group and you also have the pirate nation as well as potentially the crime families, although with Boba Fett not being continued, I doubt we will see much more depth into them. This could be partially an explanation for the civilian fleet from rise of Skywalker but I wouldn't want every project to be beholden to explaining the sequels.

    Thanks for your review. Having watched part of the first episode, I had the feeling that At Attin is a lost High Republic colony that has been isolated from the rest of the galaxy for centuries. The reference to the Republic (not the New Republic) and Great Works was a clue. I read in the Wikipedia article that the series was originally going to be set in the High Republic era but that the showrunners decided to move it to the New Republic era. Even Star Wars Theory has praised the first two episodes, which is a relief.

      Depends what you mean by reviews. The critics from major media outlets loved those shows you mentioned, only after they were being aired did less positive reviews appear. As for this one, not surprised its getting good reviews, but its not for everyone. It's a kids show and that isn't what many people find fun.

    • @afunkymonke
      @afunkymonke 5 днів тому +4

      Mando S3 just compounded the issues we started with in BOBF, the fact we couldn't get a single episode that season without Grogu by his side says it all. In my opinion they shouldn't have reunited them so fast, especially not in a completely different show that shouldn't have had Mando in it to begin with. Cobb Vance should have been the Mando role showing up to save the day alongside someone that he kinda stole his armor and wouldn't see eye to eye with at the start due to Boba being a prior enforcer for Jabba and probably causing trouble for people like Cobb and the others of that town. Instead they stuck him in a bacta tank and we have no idea if we will ever see Cobb come back.

      I'm not too familiar with the HR stuff, but that would probably make sense considering they kept talking about "The Great Work" which we haven't heard any other of the New Republic stuff mention before if I remember correctly. That sounds more like a high/old republic era thing, kinda like post ww2 era US. A by gone era that has remained in a bubble is a very interesting way to go about things, especially the fact they talk so much about the Jedi in an era where most still think the Jedi are urban legends or remember the stories the Empire would tell to try and keep people in line.

    The most intriguing part of this show so far is the mysterious planet the kids come from. I don't like how short episode 2 was.
    I enjoyed it, so far it's more interesting than Ahsoka and Acolyte and I'm a TCW/Rebels fan.

    "Don't make it your personality." Bravo. Perfect. I have things about Star Wars that I love, and things that I love less. But that's as far as it goes. Being a Star Wars hate-troll is something I could never even imagine being, or doing with my life. I hope the haters find something they like soon, and move on with their lives.

    I think 8 episodes is plenty to tell the story well. Goonies and Muppets Treasure Island both had under two hours run time and told their stories just fine. This series is probably three times that length, so there's plenty of room for world building and lore.
    Did anyone else notice that Wim was carrying Old Republic credits? That's like having gold Doubloons for pocket change, or walking into The Broken Drum with 2000 rhinu. Something definitely strange there.

    11:55 my kids are already old enough for me to go ‘you’ll like this, it’s not Andor but it’s better than that final jedi film thing. I can never apologise enough to my daughter for 7-9 after getting her hopes up with 4-6, telling her that even 1-3 were not exactly good there might be a 7-9 one day….

    You ever hear stories about pirates burying their treasure on a island, then taking out their own crew so no one could find it but them. I think that may be part of what's going on here. My question is how long that ship has been buried?

    Something did seem off about having to pass a career placement test. They are only matching them to potential careers. I've taken a few. In countries with major pass or fail tests, like Germany, those aren't done until much later. I took a few major tests as a kid, but those are more about measuring the school's progress. It was never a big thing I had to pass. There is something dystopian about it.

    The main pirate chasing the kids for credits was in Mando season 3. Same actor, same alien which implies the time period is that around Mando era

  • @CullenRick
    @CullenRick 5 днів тому +1

    This was an excellent start to the series. The battle was very good - and the children do act like children, but in a realistic way as the actors certainly have the required ability.
    Perhaps, JK will finally get that win that she wanted to retire on?
    Possible Spoilers:
    1) New Republic? The evidence seems to be that their home planet isn't involved in that at all. Old Republic credits? Lost planet considered a legend? Starships banned from the planet? Just saying, Palpatine must have had his "hoard" gathered from the Clone Wars era hidden somewhere.
    2) Jude Law - Jedi Padawan -> Pirate Captain -> prisoner -> redemption arc?
    This is far from mindless. Like the best children's media, it has a lot of depth below the basic entertainment.

  • @MalaysianChopsticks

    Was quite optimistic watching the first 2 episodes. Felt like a kid again. The serious older one, statistic sister, the scadery cat/elephat and the troublemaker. Light hearted direction that can allow kids to join and let adults broaden their understanding of the world. The empire fell, why so many pirates?

  • @jeffreycarman2185

    Mandalorian seasons 1 and 2 were great, Andor just knocked it out of the park, the other shows have been middling to good (with the exception to some that started out middling to good but then the filmmakers couldn’t deliver, and they ended up being not that good).
    I’m hoping this is the show that delivers from start to finish. It has a fun premise and a lot of possibilities…

  • @johnelliott7020
    @johnelliott7020 5 днів тому +1

    This show is much much better than the Acolyte. Several reasons, they are using the hero’s journey and a straight time line♥️. This is so Star Wars and George Lukas much like Andor. Where as the Acolyte time jumped around was not a hero’s journey for any of the characters - it was about a disaster and poorly acted. The pace was straight forward and showed a highly controlled world run to be bored dull and repetitive. Then the break from this jail like world .

    Yeah, as Yoda said: "you must unlearn what you have learned."
    When people go into it with a bad mood or attitude, they will certainly get a bad experience. It is far better to just go in with no (stern) expectations and let the show entertain you, first and foremost. Being an armchair critic, picking it apart and saying how wrong or bad it is, shows that one may have lost sight of the spirit.

    When I was watching it, I kept thinking how annoying the main characters are, but then I remembered they're kids and they're just acting like kids. So good on them. At-Attin sounds like a corpo planet if the leader is known as the "Supervisor". I think this first season is going to end with At-Attin being exposed to wider galaxy and exposed the darker side of the New Republic as they try to take advantage of At-Attin's wealth.
