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.

        Also the scene with Mon Mothma at the fancy dinner party and the reversal of the line "perhaps my politics are a bit strong for your taste" felt like the writers talking directly to liberals and giving a nod to us commies.
