And just like that, I'm caught up! Just in time, too! Writing about the whole season now, but in two words: "functionally solid!" which is something to be relished. Also excited for Season two in (checks watch) 32 minutes.

Btw, the opening of the seasone one finale was (contextually-speaking) one of the funniest things I've ever seen and everything I didn't know I wanted from modern Star Wars stuff. It did what others would do in such winking way in an organic way. Just marvelous.

no, it was awful. stormtroupers aren't incompetent and meta humor has no place in star wars. i'll watch robot chicken or spaceballs for that.

Uh, you're being a little strident. Besides, in-joke referential humor is literally in every single star wars movie after the first one. I don't really like the robot-chicken stuff either, but this isn't like that. Why does this feel like a threat to the seriousness of it all?

how could making the antagonist of the whole franchise canonically incompetent idiots not be a threat to the seriousness of it all?

The main antagonist was pretty damn threatening. As are the empire at large. These are two random backwater dudes. It's executed well and it's funny. I write about this all the time, things don't have to be a singular tone to take them seriously...

People only think that when they think levity undermines how THEIR seriousness about thing x. I talk about this with nolan and tone all the time, too. Don't fall into that trap. It leads nowhere good.
