The episode in question is just magical. Him explaining the Force to Grogu and hearing the Williams musical cues makes it feel like a failed back door pilot. It’s so upsetting that we may never get a proper post-Empire Luke Skywalker series unless Luke Skywalker gets completely recast.

Makes me think the time is right for a dedicated Luke game series.

Felt like one of the weakest parts to me. Star Wars can only stretch it's wings when freed from the bloody Skywalker family.
