While I am someone who finds Star Wars to be entertainment for little boys (and those aren't even my words, they come from Ewan McGregor), I have to say that "The Mandorian" and "The Book of Boba Fett" contain scenes and insights that I enjoy. Also, these series really have an 80's flair...plus it's nice to see for example Nick Nolte, Carl Weather, Jennifer Beals, Deany Trejo or the (admittedly much younger) Katee Sackhoff in these series.

Yeah, I guess Brian De Palma had a habit of doing these grumpy critiques of films shown to him by his peers. Most people were highly offended and wondered where he got the gumption to be so critical and self-important. George Lucas took over an hour of angry berating by De Palma about Star Wars and apparently thought "I like this guy! He's got spirit!" then continued to work with him. Most folks at the time thought De Palma was heading towards never working in the industry again.

I recently read that that battle part with the Ewoks in Episode 6 was actually inspired by the Viet Cong in the Vietnam war.
