Sam-Who-Likes-Nothing recently finished watching the second season of The Mandalorian and, same as the first season, he was unimpressed. Some of it was fun, some of it wasn’t, and too much of it was just plain stupid. Though it was good to see Luke at the end, the whole Deus Ex Skywalker of the resolution was pretty meh. Not to mention that Star Wars has now descended to the level of bad Star Trek when it comes to the crappy rubber masks and thick gloves that now pass as aliens. It looked cheap in 1977, but it looks even cheaper now. Even worse, the writers don’t even pay lip service to the science part of science fiction anymore. The business of flying to a neighboring star system in a couple of days without hyperdrive is almost as stupid as seeing four different planets in four different star systems blown up in real time in the sky from the surface of a fifth.
Or having hyperdrive capability on an x-wing.
