This show is the most amazing thing ever, second place sliced bread and in third is the wheel.
As much as I bash the purely stupid Marvel movies, it would be amis if I did not praise the direction of the Star Wars episodic mini movies. Yeah, The Boba Fett Show was simply "above average" while Mandalorian was a poor man's Obi Wan Kenobi. As Excellent as the Mandelorian was, it was no where near as powerful as this show.
I proclaim it to be the best show ever, nothing I have ever seen was what this show is.
At long last, Princess Leia, truly takes on the mantle of being a Disney Princess. As much as we have come to love her as being Carrie Fischer, now she gets to be little Ani. The actress channeled the mother of the Naboo and the soon to be Dark Lord perfectly. In each episode it was clear she would become the leader of the Resistance that we know and love. To see her being captured and quasi-interrorgated was a pure pleaser to us that have watched her over these last 40 years.
The first episode was good, not overly great, but very solid. The second episode was twice as good as the first, and laid the ground work of what we could see to be the penicle of the Star Wars Saga. The Third Episode blew the first two out, and put this on the level poor Picard could never reach. Episode Four and Five, simply superb, and very true to the story we have waited so long to see. And what a build up it has been. The Clone Wars, Rebels, Solo and Rebel One set the scene perfectly. None better than the cartoon Star Wars Rebels, were we get introduced to the Inquisitors. The backstory of these guys will blow your mind alone, even if only one of them gets a backstory, it was so fufilling.
This leads me to by far the most polarizing character in the show, Third Sister. Its about time a black woman can actually wear her hair and look like a black woman in a show, instead of having straight weaved hair and whatnot. This woman was by far the most interesting character. If you did not play the lates game, you may not be familiar with her. Ice Cube, Jr gave a great performance in his brief oppurtunities. And seeing the Empire begin to crumble from its defections are a nice way to lead into the first movie of the franchise.
Ok, what did I not like...Obi Wan uses a green lightsaber, not blue!!! And, we have to WAIT for another season. Yep, thats about it. I know, it was Anikin's old lightsaber, I get it, but he still should have been using the green one in the flashbacks. Speaking of flashbacks, I am the foremost hater of the flashback. But This show implemented them beautifully. Oh and they should have given a reason for Obi Wan to spare Vader, not going to deep into this...spoilers.
Now we finally get to Vader, as does Star Wars. How in the world can the number one villian ever to be in science fiction only have three movies, we need to milk the hell out of Darth Vader, and we finally did. Hayden Christiansen was finally awesome in the role. James Earl Jones, nuff said.
Lastly, no Dave Filoni! Yes! Dont get me wrong, I like the guy, he is really good. But he was a bad fit for this, and Disney knew it.The Executive Producer, one of them at least, was Ewen McGregor himself. And it showed. He put his heart into this character, and he was amazing. The guy is jus a great actor and this is his, no this is Star Wars' Masterpiece.
Hang this show in the Louvre, right next to the Mona Lisa. No show has ever been better. Couple this with the 2 seasons of Solar Opposites and the Disney+ESPN+Hulu Package is a steal.
Semi Spoiler, seeing Darth Vader get his butt handed to him was sooo freaking sweet.
