Chapter 2: The Tribes of Tatooine (E02)

Excellent low-cost take on Lawrence of Arabia, if that was Favreau’s intention, hats off. Visually it almost looks like a three-reel movie, the desert scenes caress the eye, the train robbery is a showcase of top-notch editing and very decent special effects for TV. The lizard on the head, the Tusken customs, the making of a mallet and the final battle dance around the fire, excellent. As you can see, Favreau is a man in the right place and one can only regret that he didn't also work on Obi-Wan Kenobi. (2022.07.01)
