I also feel this is the only Disney SW that you could argue really feels like it occurs in the same universe as the one Lucas created. (You could also credibly argue the opposite, in my view, as well. But it’s still better than Solo and a hyperspace jump ahead of the so-called “ST” in terms of authenticity.)

ETA: also, how badass are the two Guardians? I like them more every time I watch it.

It’s interesting, there’s about half of it that I could definitely see in the Lucas universe and half of it that feels “modern, grittier, edgier.”

The Guardians are the monks? I liked them well enough, but I feel like I’ve seen characters like them in a million other modern blockbusters.

Interesting. Would you go so far as to call their parts stereotypes? What about their performances? I thought the one dude who said less was more effective in his role than the guy who repeated the mantra.

ETA: the "half-Lucas, half not" remark is really, really astute. I kind of spoke around the idea (with the credible arguments either way), but this enunciates the issue much more precisely: there's moments where they nail it and others where they overreach.
