They started running it at 2:30 PM Thursday so I hit an early show…

Let’s be 100% honest, it’s review proof. You already know if you’re going to see it or not…

It’s fun, bigger than the streaming show, but maybe not necessarily as big as one of the franchise films. Not that it NEEDS to be, it’s still fun for what it is.

Lots of borrowing from other properties, the opening is pretty much a blatant steal from “Leon: The Professional”. They go to a Blade Runner planet and talk to a Blade Runner food vendor.

There’s a cool bit with life size CGI versions of the chess board from Star Wars.

You know the Lone Wolf and Cub trope where dad gets sick and the kid has to take care of them? Yeah, they do that too.

One scene is a direct copy from Apocalypse Now…

Overall? I had fun. Will buy it if/when it comes out on physical media.

    Yea, I had fun. Solid 7/10 for me. Story elements and pacing could’ve been better in places, especially the first half.

    But give me a star wars story where it’s mostly aliens and there are animatronics/puppets, and I’m a happy camper.
