    Im gonna offer a slightly different take.

    There hasn’t been much star wars I haven’t liked.

    All the shows have hit the nail and been top shelf for me. Clone Wars and Rebels delivered (in my opinion) some of the finest star wars content. Mandalorian, Boba Fett, Kenobi, for all their faults I adored them. Andor obviously a masterpiece.

    I cannot gel with this show.

    The dialogue is awful. The boy dropping “I’ve got a bad feeling” had me screaming “SERIOUSLY” at my poor tv.

    The chemistry between characters is non existent. Monotone and wooden.

    The pacing is horrendous, the story from the first four episodes could have been twenty five minutes in a well paced movie.

    The acting (save for Ray Stevenson) is not good. I want it to be. Maybe it’s the direction? They just aren’t the characters I know and love from clone wars and rebels.

    And it’s only a small thing, but why the hell did the people have to leave the room so the holograms could have a chat?! Wtf?!

    I am so disappointed as I love all Star Wars but goodness me, this is not the one.

    I hope it picks up I genuinely do but try as I might, I cannot see what others seem to with this show.

      I typed a long comment and accidentally deleted it

      Short version

      Sabine and Ahsoka lack chemistry and that sucks. It’s like two rocks running lines together. They’re both talented so frustratingly this likely means they’re being directed to behave this way. Ugh

      I’ve been loving this show but I can understand your gripes.

        The saving grace for me has been Huyang and Baylan. And we better get more chopper screentime!
