The Mandalorian movie is a fun watch! Gladiator subplot gets trope-y, but voice acting is tops (Scorsese cameo ftw). The playful score and first-person flying shots are reasons to see in cinema, esp since it's the only Star Wars film to drop John Williams' themes in favour of an original soundtrack.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.
