I was so hyped for it when it was announced, too :(

like wtf do you mean it costs 6$ to swim in a lake. the californian mind cannot comprehend this.

California (or at least LA?) is kind of doing this, they basically made height restrictions and proportional parking optional as long as there’s some low rent housing included in any structure.

People in my hometown are PISSED but there’s actually nothing they can do about it.

Where I REALLY feel the emptiness is on planets like Lothal, which is maybe way I associate it more with the animated series. You never see any traffic on those roads in Lothal and the cities feel so empty.
Alderaan feels very much the same in Obi Wan. We see guards, where are the people? The ships?

I liked the city they set up in Obi Wan for similar reasons despite it being a worse show, but like a lot of other Star Wars properties it just felt a little… Empty? Even with people.

I really loved Ghorman, it feels like a real place I could visit with a real culture. There’s so much charm. So much depth- the fact that they invented a language just to make it feel more grounded is the kind of little detailing I want to see more of in Star Wars.

He says he’s done it, does that mean we will get a brief Bader appearance this season??
I don’t NEED it but it would be kinda neat.

We do sort of have a California Corps! The California Conservation Corps is a little different, but has a lot of similar responsibilities.
