I liked that they took a book character (Cobb Vanth) and brought him into live action. Dave Filoni has been doing a great job of rebuilding canon from Legends material (though Cobb Vanth was much more recent than that).

Seeing them work with the town people was cool. Plus Timothy Olyphant is a great actor. I'm excited to see your reactions to the rest of the season.

2021-12-13 18:22:24 +0000 UTCYou mentioned it looked green screeny at one point. They actually rarely use green/blue screen. They used a whole new technology for this show called The Volume (Loki uses it as well). It's basically a huge set with 360 degree LED screens everywhere but the ground. They then just display whatever background they want. I think it uses Unreal Engine, so they can change settings on the fly - postiion of the suns, clouds, etc). Generally it looks super realistic when they use it, but I agree the town looked a bit off. There are some great documentaries out there on The Voume that are worth watching for anyone interested in behind the scenes stuff. To answer a question - the timeline is 5 years after Return of the Jedi. So this is Luke era, not yet Rey era, and well past Anakin era.
