Happy holidays, readers! Jeremy here. As he likes to do a couple times a year, John Hammontree, unofficial/unpaid editor of this newsletter, has blessed me with a week off and blessed you with some terrific cinematic reading material.

This episode had a tall order to fill after last week, but splashy entrances, cute creatures, and an unsettling, spooky mood made for another riveting installment. A classic fantasy archetype performs important functions for the series and Star Wars more broadly. (That’s purposefully cryptic, much like this episode.)
