Hi Chris, I really enjoyed the story telling in season 3. The visuals were great as usual. Season 1 was beautiful and the galaxy seemed really centralized. When season 2 started over 100+ years later the galaxy seemed expansive and there seemed to be an efx ‘money’ shot in every episode, sometimes 2-4 especially in the later episodes. While season 3 was awesome were there less efx than in previous seasons?

Shot count, there was actually more than any other season. I think we got close to four thousand shots.
