Luna was great. The character being straightforward, with not much emotional intelligence at all adds a lot to the atmosphere. He is a traumatised soldier with only a few people to care for, not a gun slinging comedic hero like most of his counterparts in the franchise. Him being still likeable and interesting, and those few small steps he took towards taking part in a rebellion was the best aspect of the season.
- dmitriid 4y agoYou don't have to be gung ho to show more emotion than just blank face ;) I enjoyed the idea of "thrown into the mix of things and slowly warming up to the idea of the rebellion", but it was handled rather poorly IMO. So we have Luthen specifically seeking him out because he's so great and good. And in a conversation he mentions how he casually stole imperial star-thingy. So he is kinda gung ho (or at least extremely competent). Then he learns minute details of the rebels he just met by just observing them... And that's it. Everything else is him being extremely incompetent (how he ended up in jail to begin with), or suddenly competent without any prior explanation (how he was instrumental in the plot to run away). But this more due to the format of the show I think.
