    Actually, I believe the correct and complete title is, No, I Am Your Mother.

    Thumb Wars? (Not sure if anyone will get that very dated reference)

    I can't believe they got Denis Lawson back for this! [face_laugh]

    I liked it; it was fun!

    Despite my deep-seated fear of Wallace and Gromit claymation, I enjoyed this. The art was great, including the look of the planet and its architecture which was perfect McQuarrie stuff. And the story was cute. Nothing earth-shattering, of course, but I like these mother-centric stories after so many father-centric stories. Maybe it’s the Virgin Mary-worshipping Italian in me coming back to the surface. :)

    Agree, I see no reason to hate this episode. I enjoyed the animation, had fun with it while also not being incredibly drawn into it.

    It's a not so serious good time.

    Easily my favorite of season 2. Just so much fun, and the embarrassing family stuff is so relatable.

    Definitely a lot of fun, and a lot more heartfelt than I imagined from Aardman. A pretty straightforward story but the characters were fun and everything was super lovely throughout.

    Some fun tidbits from This Week in Star Wars- the underwear falling out of the ship was a tribute to Carrie Fisher and her infamous "no bras in space" story. And at one point in the background you see not only Luke's dismembered hand, but also Maz's arm swindling his lightsaber!

    Lots of Easter eggs in this. The episode cracked me up several times. What’s not to like? [face_laugh]

    This was was lightweight and fairly predictable, but still good enough. I have a soft spot for Aardman since Wallace & Gromit and Chicken Run were childhood staples. If anything, it's still fun to see Star Wars interpreted through their aesthetic and sense of humor.

    6/10

    Fun story that can be easily relatable for everyone but so far the weakest of first four chapters..

    I did spot the gas cooker from the first Wallace and Gromit film.

    Annisoukaline... now that's a name. This is the Star Wars racing TV show we deserved over Resistance actually, green light this pilot Disney+. That was fun, heartfelt, and kinda relatable. Automatic 10 for Hammy Wedge.

    I liked that it had Wedge in it and the Wookiee ripping the arms off the stuffed animal, but I'm not much of a fan of this animation type. 6/10

    That Wookiee was the funniest thing SW has done in years. Maybe decades.

    it's amazing that its taken this long to do that gag (unless I'm forgetting and it has been done before)

    Solo did that gag, though it was very quick so as to not be too gory.

    Haha I liked this one although it was comedy. Star Wars fans are often so damn serious, this is not even canon (even though I see no reason why it couldn't be). And now we know what Wedge did after Rotj and before Exogol lol...

    I gave it a 9/10. You certainly can't go wrong with Aardman; and you can tell by behind-the-scenes special that the folks there were just as excited to venture into the franchise as Lucasfilm was to have them. This was a sweet story involving the mother Twi-lek and her daughter. They even got in a Ryloth name-drop for good measure lol.
