10 minutes in and holy fucking shit this show goes hard.
spoiler
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.
It's a good show. Probably the best SW so far. Getting back to the "the empire is US imperialism and the rebels are the colonized masses" is very good.
