Itʻs a movie that continued to build on Favreauʻs basic idea behind The Mandalorian: itʻs the story a little brother comes up with when his big brother has taken all the main Star Wars action figures to play with his friends and left the little brother with all of the random aliens Kenner stuck in a blister card (but somehow the kid has a Boba Fett and Yoda). It really feels like the way I played as a kid, where Iʻd supplement my Star Wars figures with GI Joe and make stuff up. This film sometimes looks like a kid grabbed some Warhammer miniatures and flew them around with die-cast Star Wars miniatures, etc. Itʻs awesome when viewed in that light and not from some self-serious mindset that treats Star Wars as akin to a religious text.

Aww, that’s kind of heartwarming in a way
