For a season with so little episodes this truly is empty and lackluster and it's so overly zoomed in on something so tiny compared to all that preluded this show. It feels just like fanservice; and yes I seen all that came before and it's nice to get all the throwbacks that came with these characters, but this is such a waste of live-action resources. This feels less of substance than one of the boring episodes from the animated series.
With only 8 episodes and then the previous two episodes also already being quite boring, this shouldn't be the new trend. It's like it's on purpose that many shows (also outside Star Wars) are just giving us the slow-treatment every time. Just give us 8 episodes of jam-packaged fast-moving content. We're not stupid. It's like this has been systematically done on purpose to instil some sense of significance in certain characters and moments, but the definition of that is just "boring". Some short moments of displaying lightsabers and some space-pew-pew won't cut it (accidental pun intended?). I'll be fair with a 6, but it would probably be a 5, without my bias and hope for betterment.
The acting is ok, but also not even that great. It's very nonchalant and not enough to justify the character's traditional tranquility. I hope they improve, because this is really not that good. We are already comfortable with higher standards in special effects and visuals in many modern series and movies. You can't sell it with only just that anymore.
