Okay....but I'm going to keep saying what I've been saying.
I'll preface it with this show doing a perfect job thus far of it.
But if the information I need to know in order for the story you're telling me to make sense isnt in the story you're telling me then I dont care. Its a cop-out.
If its ancillary and grows the Universe thats fine. But Star Wars is so bad for this. They just throw crap at the wall and then claim that if you know this, that and the other thing from some book or comic or TV show then your complaints are invalid and it all makes perfect sense.
In the show I dont need to know Tusken sign language, the show does a suitable job of explaining whats going on.
But Star Wars is going to have to learn to stop relying on supplemental information that the casual viewer doesnt have in order for their stories to make sense.
I'm not saying thats the case here because I enjoyed this episode and didnt even know Kenobi had his own book but I knew what was going on.
