Chapter 5: The Gunslinger (S01E05)

A fan-fest for all SW geeks. Tatooine, a dusty spacecraft workshop, lots of desert, gliders and of course some action. Not much in terms of filmmaking, but fans will surely give it one more star. (2020.02.23)

If I'm to take this as a filler (and it’s regulation filler, unfortunately), it's a nice enough bit of nostalgia. But it's all wrapped up in the word nostalgia, because if I wasn't a SW fan and this was the first SW material of my life, I would have gotten NOTHING out of this episode. I was kind of hoping there would be a story embedded in this series, but so far it's the pulp fun/adventure of a good-hearted bandit and that's more than enough for me. Don't tell me it's running out of breath already. (2019.12.06)

I'll admit, I was a bit too generous with the rating this time. Lesson learned. The fifth part just didn't do it for me. Pali and her service left me cold, and don't even get me started on that dim-witted Toro Calican. It all felt rather pointless, though thankfully it wasn't too drawn out. (2020.02.05)
