He's saving you so much legwork putting the set together though, that's gotta be worth 20k just for the trouble saved...right?

I haven't gotten hung up with details like this. To my mind, if you're focusing on this kind of a detail, you're not immersed in the story. Star Wars has never been so much about the science than it has been about the story - witness TESB, where the Millennium Falcon travels at sublight speed from the Hoth system, to the Anoad system, and on to Bespin. That's a trip that should have taken YEARS.
They had something roughly baby bird sized roasting on the spit at the Nevarro feast. I kind of wondered if that might be one or not.
I get where you're coming from with this. And I think that it ultimately comes down to this - IS THERE A BIG PICTURE PLAN FOR STAR WARS OVER THE NEXT DECADE+?
I think one of the most apt comparisons is how Kevin Feige has led the effort for the Marvel Cinematic Universe to have a cohesive big picture approach. But then when you bring that comparison into the conversation, one thing that has distinguised the MCU is that not every project is cut from the same cloth. Styles can vary. And the tone of stories can vary as well.
I feel like this is the case for the "Mandoverse" if we're going to call it that. I do not expect the plot of every episode to neatly dovetail together with every other episode. The galaxy far, far away is very big. And I think it's worth exploring both the serious bits, and yes, the pulpy bits too. And with the promotion of Dave Filoni to a creative executive within Lucasfilm, I think we have someone who is going to be in a position to think from a big picture standpoint. Will he be Kathleen Kennedy's eventual successor? I don't think he's quite there, but he worked hand in hand with George Lucas for years. He knows the world of Star Wars intimately. I'm excited to see where things go. And I suspect that the big dramatic turn of the season is coming up quickly.
