I'm pleased I've come to understand my relationship with Star Wars. To me, it's ridiculous to evaluate things against the original trilogy for me, because 'playing Star Wars' in 1983 when I was 4 (and had absolutely no ability to judge the media critically) is a crucial part of my love for the franchise. It's one of my earliest memories, and it simply makes no sense to think my opinion of the OT is objective compared to my opinion of the PT, ST, or any other Star Wars media, it just isn't, that's a fact... I automatically forgive the OT is inadequacies because it was literally a sizeable chunk of my first exposure to film, sci-fi, adventure and fantasy, and also the ideas of right and wrong, good and evil, the light side and the dark side etc. etc.
I'm still glad we're getting more Star Wars, I'm choosing to watch the Films, the TV, play the games, read/listen to the books, and read the comics when I can. The stuff I like, I will revisit, the stuff I don't I won't, that's the benefit of such an expansive universe... if all you want is the Skywalker Saga you can pretty much stick to 4, 5 & 6... if you want the whole story, stick to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6... and if you want to know what happened next, watch 1-9.... and if you want to know more? There's masses and masses of stuff to dive into.
Anyway, back onto tBoBF, Robert Rodriguez played the Trandoshian bearing what appeared to be a Wookie pelt? I like Rodriguez, I hope the season finale includes a Bith with a guitar case that walks into the Sanctuary and shoots up the place, including a bartender called Meech Charin...
