Two episodes in and I realise that Frank Oz hasn't made an appearance. "700 years old I am, look as good will you not?" In cannon Yoda should be part of the Jedi Council, but has been a no show as of yet.
Otherwise? This isn't too bad of a show. I'm looking forward to the rest of the episodes, and will continue to just enjoy the ride.
One thing that is really cool is the inclusion of twins. I reckon that this may be a nod to Timothy Zahn and the "Skywalker" twins that never showed up in the sequels. It also plays on the "good twin, bad twin" tropes, and I can tell you as a parent to twins, that trope isn't always true. Again, good luck to this show, I look forward to seeing the rest.

Simply put this movie is Die Hard mixed with The Santa Clause mixed with Home Alone (Macaulay Culkin would be proud). It's an enjoyable romp and should be included in any action movie fan's Christmas playlist. Sure there's some questionable content. I've noticed that directors love putting David Harbour in red, but he suited the role, and the teeny tiny bit of an origin story was, well, interesting. I'd love to see that made into an origin movie.
But, like I said, if you're an Christmas action movie person, who enjoyed Die Hard and consider it a Christmas movie, Violent Night is a good addition to your yearly play list.
