      The comedy's great, but there's something even more important: "I need to be reminded occasionally about what it means to be a part of this Empire".
      There's some serious drama writing in here too and that must never, ever, ever, be devalued or forgotten.

      Agreed, based on an engine. Going back to my early life their was a series that I adored as much as you with this. In 2003 when dialup internet made bee boops Red vs Blue was born. Also based on an engine. It is not the graphics that make it interesting, it is the characters and scripts and the heart behind it. Red vs Blue went on for 18 seasons, considering it aired on a platform when half the world didn't even know what the true internet was or just could not afford it.
