"I know that I'll be coming back someday, I'll be playing this part till I'm old and grey. The long-term contract I had to sign, says I'll be making these movies till the end of time. With my Yoda, Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda." — Weird Al Yankovic, 36 years ago The latest installment in STAR WARS: THE SERIES, in which a rotating cast of like six characters periodically randomly show up whether it makes sense for them to be there or not. Every Star Wars project now is simply nostalgia/reference porn. There may be touching emotional beats, a catchy score, intriguing new characters, and some beautiful shots — they'll always find a way to bring it back to something like an uncanny valley CGI Luke Skywalker badly lip syncing to lines read, devoid of any emotion, by a robotic sounding AI program trained to sound like young Mark Hamill (since he has no experience voice acting himself). And while many of the cameos were bleak, it's equally problematic for the series that the best episode had literally zero minutes of screen time for the titular character, and no real connection to the plot of the series up to that point.
