After Mando and the MCU, I thought they'd go in the direction where you create different genres set in the Sta Wars universe, instead every genre is a Saturday morning cartoon.
Mandolorian - Western with a villain of the season and the wanderer goes to a new planet/sector
Andor - Gritty spy/war drama
Police Procedural - A Jedi solves crimes in local town while in hiding
Book of Boba Fett -mob crime show like breaking bad, sopranos
Rom Com - An ex storm trooper and a rebel fall in love
Sitcom - the office but set in a moisture farm
Heist - like Leverage with a bunch of criminals
Horror - A powerful Sith is hunting Jedi
Obi Wan - Slice of life, Ben the hermit does gardening and chores for the townsfolk, tries to fend off attraction for the local blue milk maids, sharpens his mind into razor sharp focus instead of swinging a baseball bat around. Uses wit and logic to solves problems
Shonen - basically the games but better
War - band of brothers but with rebels
I want the Great Chandrillan Baking Show.
It's Shistivanen Week and Plintth is in his element!
""Oh, it's going to be meat pies! Savoury meat pies, sweet meat pies! Blood pies! This is my comfort zone!""
Meanwhile Kwen needs to wow the judges, after her Kakooloo nut disaster last week.
""Oh no! It's going to be meat pies! What do I do? This is terrible!""
There's drama...
""Bakers, you have fifteen minutes remaining!""
Tragedy...
""Oh no, oh no, oh no! This looks a mess!""
And Triumph...
""This is, without a doubt, the best Frischenaak, I have ever tasted!""
Under the kitchen dome, today on the Great Chandrillan Baking Show.
That was great. Perfection.
Missed opportunity for "fifteen parsecs", if only to poke the pedants to reply, frothing: "that's not a measure of time!" 🤪🤣
It's a cooking measurement on a technical challenge.
"Three parsecs of krumm flour? Three parsecs? Is that even a baking measurement? Bloody dark side! Are they mad?"
"Meanwhile, Kel Turon's expertise in Corellian cuisine is paying off and he has it figured out..."
"Three parsecs of krumm flour. Haha. Well done Polhol'eewood. See, I happen to know that on Corellia a parsec is more than just a spacial measurement... They use parsecs to measure... well, almost everything."
I like this one, Mom. Can we keep him?
