Is it weird that young adults who spent a ton of money on mods and flashy bikes then complain about how they don't have money for water?

Despite wishing the story was headed in a different direction, I do like the show. However, I'm very easy to please. I want to be whisked away to a place that I like for a bit, and I'm willing to suspend a TON of disbelief to get there. Complaining about things like the special effects or the speed of the bike chase is a little like complaining that Mr. Rogers puppets in the land of make-believe didn't look enough like real tigers or owls. You are in the land of make-believe, friends. Whatever happens there is likely to happen exactly as it would. Just enjoy the little trip before you go get in your real car that doesn't scream through town at 100mph and has never had the joy of driving through a fruit stand.

Yep, seen that happen in real life.

What really irks me about the series is ... I can't watch it at all

Disney + says it 'is not available in my region'.

I liked it! They're a spiv mod gang, living for their bikes and kicks. It brought a flash of colour and a bit of something different to the show. It's a bit more of a light-hearted feel than most of the rest, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's just entertainment. I've loved Star Wars since my first toys in the Christmas of '77 and this sort of mix of brevity and levity is part of what makes it so good, for my money. Them streets were pretty damn narrow and the hover vehicles don't seem to have the sharpest response to the wheel or turning circle, so slower speeds make perfect sense to me. This is why I don't try to race my hovercraft through multi-storey carparks.

While they look like a gang that would be more at home on Coruscant, wouldn't it make sense that outer rims gangs would try to emulate the inner planets a bit? I enjoyed it, thought it was fun, and my kids loved it. Maybe that's a large part of the draw for me - characters I enjoy, but with stories my 9 year old son eats up. I'm living my star wars midlife crisis through him, and it's working so far.

Plus, is anything ever really bad when Ming-Na is in it?

Try it! It's... exhilerating, to say the least...

Fething brilliant no spoilers but listen out for the final scenes music

Daeothar · « **Reply #85 on:** January 19, 2022, 02:18:05 PM »

Agreed; another strong one

And now I have to check out that music again, because I don't know what you mean...

+++EDIT+++ I just did, but still can't tell what you're referring to. That's probably me though...

I am intrigued to watch this, but for me - and I guess a number of fellow New Zealanders in their forties - Temuera Morrison is always going to be Jake tha Muss from Once Were Warriors. Unless he's acting his socks off, I can't see him as anything else.

Is the acting good enough that it really enables suspension of disbelief, or is most of the charm the world-building side of things? (I feel hardly anyone watches Star Wars for the acting - it is the world that matters to most, and fair enough

)

By the by, a few years ago, on a deserted train in central belt Scotland, a skinhead wide-o was about to give me a panelling when he realised I was from NZ. He then spent the rest of the trip talking excitedly about how great Jake the Muss was.

Oh dear ,no hints I’m afraid. Rather like a bit of woodwind I must say.

The end music was a nice touch to what could be happening in the next episode.

Did have me wondering what the flashes were in the sky then it clicked.
