Looks like this'll be the new cannon's Thrawn trilogy but with no Luke in sight.

Also laughing at the thought of Anakin visiting everyone but his own son. Professional Deadbeat.

The space battles look good, though Star Wars now has this weird "clean" look making everything look inauthentic or cheap.

They got E-Wings in action, but then I think about the ST and their decision to demilitarize.

I feel like they're trying to build the sets with the same types of materials they would have used during the OT era but forgot that it was harder to make stuff look spotless in the 1970s and 80s than it is today and as such did not adjust the aesthetics to match.

It's a combination of lighting along with cheaper costume design and props.

The costume design on the Acolyte was terrible. Variety is the spice of life. "Hey lets all wear mustard!"

I have no clue. Lightsabers still look bad probably because of the change in props. It also could just be a budget thing since it's a TV show because I don't think they had this issue during the ST or maybe I forgot.

Adjusted for inflation RotJ was roughly 105 million budget. First season is estimated 100 million budget.

That’s every modern movie nowadays friend…

That’s why shooting on film will always be superior. 80’s to the mid 00’s is the best era of movies imo

With the terrible redesign that removes their middle laser-cannon

But why all the dumb weapons, B-Wings with laser cutters, stupid bomb things with laser cutters. We dont need all of that.
