10 minutes in and holy fucking shit this show goes hard.

I absolutely love the way the blaster is treated as if it were an actual firearm (AS IT FUCKING SHOULD BE) and the scene with the two cops carries all the weight that it would were it taking place in an alley in New York with a regular handgun. Just from that scene alone it already feels "real" in a way that most Star Wars media does not.
I wish George Lucas had pushed the Empire only allowed humans angle, because a lot of people watching the original movies missed that.
What I really like about the human supremacy undercurrent in the galactic empire is how inconsistent it often is...which oddly makes it feel more real and fascistic in a way.
Different writers have had different interpretations over the years of course.....but given that he had a zabrak apprentice and made a Chiss one of the highest ranking admirals in the empire I personally really like the idea that palpatine himself was 1000% comfortable using human supremacy cynically as a way to gain political power even if he himself didn't actually believe in any of it.
