Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina

I loved that book as a kid! Tales of the Bounty Hunters, too. I’m excited for the possibility that Acolyte could be something like those, and branch out into some new territory. I also know Disney is terrified of the possibility of alienating even the most casual watcher, so I’m also emotionally prepared for this to turn into GONK: The Beginning or some other OT prop origin story.

I saw a lot of my own experience in your comment, and wanted to add a bit of my story. I work in web development, and years ago I was tasked with learning Google Ads so we could start offering it as a service to clients. So exciting at first, learning the ins and outs of such a powerful platform – But in practice, it was a cynical and dehumanizing experience. Dissecting thousands of real human beings’ search phrases for some untapped keyword, in an effort to cash in on their weakest moments. Not what I got into this field to do, either.
