Rish Outfield

A calming, immersive drone's-eye-view of various Star Wars planets, "Biomes" gives us a slow pass through famous vistas that feel like we're watching a real place, where the beloved stories took place, just as passive observers. I'm sure it's not everybody's cup of tea, since there's no narrative, and nothing particularly exciting or illuminating about the eighteen minutes the segment gives us, but I loved it, and was able to imagine that it was all really there--Hoth, Tatooine, Crait, Sorgon, Mustafar, and Ach-To--and I was there too.

I worked on the show in its first and final seasons, but never got a chance to watch it before now (2019). It's a smart, funny, and above all, earnest series, and it makes me wish politicians were like this in real life. Who knows, it may inspire future generations to get in there and change the system from the inside out.
