I'm really uncomfortable with the notion of California suburbia in the Star Wars universe.

The creators are definitely fans of ET and Captain EO. The neighborhood looks just like the ET one. The creatures are straight out of Captain EO which was a short film starring Michael Jackson that played at Epcot in the mid 80s.

When I saw that street, ET and Poltergeist immediately came to mind.

It feels so out of place. That's just not how the Galaxy looks; their urban development patterns aren't like that. In SW, everyone lives in dense cities or hardscrabble villages where people are barely scraping by.

I'd never heard of Captain EO, so thanks for the additional information.

Is that young Max Rebo? I’d totally watch an origin of how he got into music and started the Jabba’s Palace Band. 

No, not every Ortolan is Max Rebo, you fucking racist.

also, the use of Major Tom in the preview is different for Star Wars 

Yes, but it was in Huttese.

We need to get on social media and start saying that Earth is one of the planets featured on star maps in the background f various scenes.

the Egyptian pyramids were built as a training exercise for Jedi to learn how to force move large objects

He didn’t mention that it was one of the 80s 3D movies, so little things flying at you while you wore red and blue glasses.

Yeah, I had to look it up when he mentioned it. With both parents as public school teachers, my family wasn't ever wealthy enough to go to Disneyworld. Six Flags in Arlington was the best we could do. And, besides, it turns out Captain EO didn't happen until 1986, and I was already 15 and likely just above the targeted age demographic, so it wouldn't have appealed to me by then anyway. Sincere thanks for the additional info, regardless. More context is good.

You're welcome, it's terrible but it was the 80s and Michael Jackson was larger than life.

Honestly, you didn't miss anything.

Fucking Memories man...think I saw it twice when we went to disney as kids(my family did the save up for 2 years to go think in the early 90's)

Yes it's dated now and sucks as an adult...but as a kid, when MJ was in his prime it fucking rocked.

Initial thoughts: 

- Looks and feels like Star Wars. Finally. It looks terrific. Better than The Mandalorian in my opinion. 
 

- Goonies vibes are real. A lot of cool pirate stuff going on.

- I love the mystery of their home planet. The undersecretary references the New Republic, but the pirates have no idea what their home world is. Feels like a top secret New Republic world tucked away in deep space just in case some bad shit happened in the known galaxy. It kind of reminds me of 3 Body Problem. If there’s something bigger and badder than you are out there, the best thing for survival is to hide and not leave your solar system/explore.

This was probably my favorite thing they introduced.  What the fuck is so special about At Attin and why is a myth? The whole barrier thing has to be something, but they didn't  show the planet when they got into space.

Curious....

Also they mentioned Aldhani!

Had no idea the lead singer(Tunde Adibempe) of TV on the Radio was an actor. He plays the main kid’s dad in this.

Colin Farrell’s sister from Banshees of Inisheran is too. I love her.

Yeah, first saw Tunde in Rachel Getting Married with Anne Hathaway 2008.  He's usually great.

Tell me you don't know any 9-year-olds who play Minecraft, without telling me you don't know any 9-year-olds who play Minecraft.

No sorry, I don’t know many 9 year olds. I’m not Harvey Weinstein

I recently had to take my oldest to a Minecraft-themed birthday party with a bunch of 9-11 year olds, and they had the kids bring their laptops if they had them, and it was....intense.

They were every bit as into it and organized and throwing around facts and figures and slang as any guilds/raiding parties I've been involved with in various MMOs (Warcraft, Ultimaa, Final Fantasy XIV, etc.).

I'm not sure what this upcoming generation is going to be like, but the Minecrafters are going to be an interesting bunch (already are based on my older cousins and nephews).
