Sigh, what a disappointment so far... Seems like target for this is 10 year old kids while it should be 30 y old fans raised on old SW and ObiWan.
And then there is acting and the story which is utterly crap. So many scenes are just pure cringe. Who signs off these shows? Are they all just horrible at their jobs or they don't care about SW anymore.
I loved Mandalorian but this is just crap so far.
Some blatant writing and casting errors get in the way of this being so much as passable. To name a few:
- They tried too hard to make child Leia precocious. In one scene she's Sherlock Holmes, in another she makes a self-jeopardizing comment or decision, but for the most part, she talks too much and is annoying.
- Reva is the least intimidating dark-side character I've encountered in Star Wars media. The actress is tragically unconvincing in that role.
- Then if those points weren't enough to make the episodes seem juvenile, Kumail Nanjiani's stupid face enters the picture, instantly signalling to the viewer that this show is ultimately some kind of comedy.
