Just finished. I enjoyed that.
Very different in tone to the original movies. I'm just old enough to have seen Star Wars, as it was first known, in the cinema. But I think a lot of rose tinted spectacles are applied when discussing the original stuff. Yeah I still enjoy it when I rewatch now and again, but so much of that enjoyment is nostalgia. If they were released now they would be torn apart.
This was different, but in an excellent, modern, well executed way. Unlike Star Trek Discovery which is/was (think it just got cancelled?) modern in a depressing, predictable way.
Finally, that last scene, which I nearly missed until I read this thread. Did everyone catch that it was the very machine part (that three pronged thing) that they were all making in the prison. That was going into, what I believe, is the primary weapon of the Death Star. Andor himself helped make the planet killing weapon! Great touch. (Maybe @ctg could get a nice pic of it going in.)
