Anybody watching this? Just one episode in. Definitely see the western and samurai influences. I enjoyed the first episode, Too early to really get a feel for it.

No, but I was planning to get the 7-day trial period of Disney+ once all of the episodes have landed. The trailers and clips look amazing and evoke the atmosphere and style of the original trilogy, and it definitely looks like it is going for the Western gunslinger vibe. If it taps into movies like SEVEN SAMURAI and THE HIDDEN FORTRESS then all the better, and how appropriate.

I feel like once the factor, that is associated with Abrams and ROGUE ONE, is gone then SW might actually make a come back. Currently, I look at an X-Wing and I don't have the fondness for it anymore. If they can get around the idea of "send in a technical winner" which is what "Chef" (Favreau)is. I mean who does not like Favreau at this point? The fact that he is there is a bonus.
I think the girl lead has to be subsumed for the Star Wars formula to work. The girl has to be attractive with violent potential perhaps with a sense never fulfilled crudity. Honestly? These twinky-dinky proper girl slumming it leads ruined the whole franchise.
