So I just began watching this. So far I like it. Though it's not really Star Wars. It doesn't feel like SW much at all. It reminds me most of a western. In particular this old black-and-white western (I think, we only had a B/W TV until I was 9 or so) where this gunslinger discovered a baby and spent the rest of the movie trying to find a nice family to give the child to, and in the process came to love the kid.
But it's pretty good regardless. At least thru episode 4. |

Han is a ****ing outer space cowboy. The entire cantina scene is like an homage to saloon scenes in westerns. |

Slightly more off-topic, but my stepfather and stepbrother liked to bring up a random western they never knew the name of and could never find. They were watching a western one night that started out pretty decent then suddenly dinosaurs appeared and all hell broke loose. I recently found a copy of The Valley of Gwangi (1969) but unfortunately, both have already passed away. Quote:

Loved the Russian Doll
Dane, know anything about this project? A new “Star Wars” series is in the works at Disney Plus, Variety has learned from sources. The series hails from Leslye Headland, the co-creator, showrunner, and executive producer of the critically-acclaimed Netflix series “Russian Doll.” Details of the exact plot of the series are being kept under wraps, but sources say it will be a female-centric series that takes place in a different part of the “Star Wars” timeline than other projects. Headland is said to be attached to write and serve as showrunner on the series, with the show currently staffing. https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/sta...us-1234587493/ |

And SW can be both derived from old spaghetti westerns and Kurosawa films. Because many of the 60s and 70s westerns borrowed heavily from Kurosawa movies. "The Magnificent Seven" being just the most iconic one. |

That said, I'm fully prepared to be disinterested. I like the hiring of Debbie Chow to run the Obi Wan series and love the showrunners of the Rogue One Prequel series but to be completely honest, I'm really not excited about essentially starting over with a new or alternate era and completely new characters. As much as I've wanted it to be, Disney's version of Star Wars just isn't that appealing to me. For me, it's lost its magic. |

Aphra is an archeologist who is hiding from Vader and the comics are set Post-RotS, so I'm not sure how much stock I put in those rumors (none of which have come directly from friends at the MouseHouse). |
