Star Wars guns have always looked very much like actual firearms.

Because they are actual firearms.

Exactly, the E11 blaster is just a Sterling with some tubes in the handguard vents but nobody complains about that.

It’s technically an airsoft gun, though I couldn’t say for certain if it functions as I’ve never tried. Bought it just because it’s cool

I didn’t dig too deep but initial search shows it out of stock at most places

I don’t have one at the moment as I haven’t gotten around to displaying them. As of now it’s just a couple of Stormtroopers, ROTJ Boba Fett, BOBF Boba and a Deathwatch Mandalorian. I bought Vader recently but it hasn’t come in yet. Hopefully I can display them soon.

No, I had no idea there were Hebridean sheep, so I learned something despite my snarkasm.

It isnt that it is slow, but the flashbacks and filler time seem a bit long and empty. I am not a total fan of the pace. Story, characters, etc, yes.

I do feel it is a very good series. The CGI, cinematography and scenery (well directing) is top notch. It feels like a prequal without the bad CGI and weak dialogue. Of course, no dumbass Jar Jar to F it up.

Mon Mothma's speeder was freakin sweet.

Agree, and she may have had a tougher transition to the role because of it.

I liked how they wrote the boss guy too, he did the typical bad manager thing and chided both IIRC for basically not working it out and bringing him into it.

I'm really enjoying it. I like the slow pace, the character development, and the world-building. Think about all the plot holes in Eps 7-9 and how NOTHING made sense, but make it go fast for the sake of action (exhibit a: Poe Damron: "They can fly now?!")

I absolutely loved how Luthen Rael put himself into character with the hot towel, wig and the opulent clothing and jewelry. And then ran through the mannerisms. Amazing acting that we really don't see in SW.

The set design is great - the ISB building being super clean and white (matching their uniforms), which is directly in opposition the the typical Imperial gray/black color scheme we're used to seeing. The interaction of the head guy in charge and how he manages his people - familiar, yet different than we've seen in the past from Imperial leadership (it's the same reason I love Grand Admiral Thrawn, even though the two characters are pretty different than each other.

I thought it was neat that Coruscant was very gray and oppressive - which felt different that how we saw it in the prequels and Clone Wars. The mood fits the time period.

There's a lot about this show I love. I hope we get more of this in Star Wars.

**outstanding**

I have the movie poster sized original trilogy posters but props for having the Rogue One poster! I just have the little 8x10” R1 posterlet. Oh, and only a couple SW toys.

Deputy Inspector Sobel, like David Schwimmer in Band of Brothers.

I do feel it is a very good series. The CGI, cinematography and scenery (well directing) is top notch. It feels like a prequal without the bad CGI and weak dialogue. Of course, no dumbass Jar Jar to F it up.

Mon Mothma's speeder was freakin sweet.

Yes, I got that distinct impression as well. What happens to a man when you take everything from him?

We’re finally getting some Easter eggs if you’re a diehard.

Planets, species, where the kyber crystal came from, the World Between Worlds reference, and the Starkiller armor.

I built them. They are 1/24 scale replicas of the original filming models. The have an articulating armature so that the wings open and close, and the engines/cockpits are lit.

They are resin, the kits were made by a guy in Ct. who made many of the model displays for Disneys Launch Bay.

He no longer makes them, sadly.

Looked like. I believe there is a Twi’lek artifact that we’ve seen in Rebels there also.
