"muh eastereggs"
Jesus. Is it any surprise that SW is in such dire straits when all half the fanbase cares about are easter eggs?
Anyway, the episode was excellent. I'm a sucker for Imperial bureaucracy scenes and this one had a lot of that done well. And the design aesthetic for it is wonderful. The other two storylines were quite enjoyable as well. Interesting to see Mon Mothma's husband seems to be an Imperial sympathizer.
I only wish there were more aliens in this.
Yeah dunno why star wars movies and tv series (except the animated ones) are struggling so much to bring aliens on screen. Ep 2 and 20 twenty years ago had plenty of them. Other franchises like Guardian of the Galaxy have no problem showing worlds full of aliens. But apparently the budget seems to always be too low to create them with cgi
