As opposed to the walking, talking center role as played by the digitized Peter Cushing? Or is it an equal-opportunity offense?

(Ponda Baba/Tuskman noise)

Such as…Wayne Pygram, who played Tarkin (to great effect) in Episode III?

I have the death sentence on 12 systems!

Or put him in a hologram, show him only from the back, or, better yet, make mention of him, but never show.

Plus the great visual gag of him issuing instructions to Andor and Jyn while taking a blind shot at a Stormtrooper. And hitting him dead-on.

Agreed. I realize Han Solo marked this territory first, but I certainly wouldn't have minded seeing Jyn be more of a "rough-and-tumble" type, sort of like Rick Blaine from "Casablanca." Amoral (and nasty) until she eventually turns around to the side of good.

And clearly still effective. Look at the immense aftershocks on the planets that only got hit by a single reactor hit.

Part of me wants to lambast the ending after the main characters die (that sequence with Vader was flagrantly unnecessary, showing us how "badass" Vader was, cutting down no-names, when the rest of the movie showed the ugliness and ruthlessness of the Empire), but…I'll be damned if Ignatiy didn't get me to rethink the…

As in, there was a little too much fan service? (And I thought seeing Evazan and Ponda Baba on Jedha was going overboard).

Stole the show for me. Most of the other characters didn't really strike a chord for me. (I personally think Jones' character could've been Bogart-ed up by 40% more.)

To be fair, the interviewer was wearing glasses.

In what sense? Was it the fact that he was just a clone, or that the child actor playing him was…not particularly noteworthy?

That was interesting, along with the fact that Mendelsohn's character didn't have the clipped British accent like most of the Imperial brass. Thus suggesting some class issues, along with a healthy dose of anxiety.

"…when a republic of a million star systems can't keep one of their own planets from being held under siege by a single droid control cruiser (run by the equivalent of a union, no less)…"

Forget pretention. That right there is a goddamn run-on sentence. Take it back to the Copy Desk and write a shorter one, Brody!

I've got some bad odds on that for you…

…Why would you want to?

Hey. Never say never again, got it?

Much of "Robot Chicken's Star Wars" is great, turning an epic space opera into minor, petty humanity (Gary the Stormtrooper wins as the best character they devised for the skits).
