I thought it was intriguing, and slower than I anticipated until the very end. Seems like a middle ground in tone/pacing to the other Mando-verse shows and Andor. I didn't see a post here so I figured, why not?

I'll be back tomorrow after I sleep to chat more.

Couldn't get through the first episode. I got 10 minutes in on my first view and then to about 35 minutes on my second before switching it off. I know nothing of Rebels or the cartoon shows, so these are new characters to me, though I know of Thrawn from the books.

I found the script/acting/pacing awful and the main reason I couldn't watch. The plot was trite and not enough to keep me wanting to watch. Another map hunt for a missing and possibly dead person? Again. Why? If the pacing/script/acting was fun then I'd be fine with just a sci-fi fantasy adventure, but the actors looked like they were working on sleeping medication, it was just painful to witness.

Felt like there were some rumblings of this being a strong tent-pole effort for Star Wars after so many misfires, but I guess unless you're super invested into the greater story then this is not the redemption it was talked up to being.

I didn't like that either - but the context around it is different and I think it will be developed in a way that is far more satisfying than the map to find Luke in the Sequel Trilogy.

I didn't think it stood out particularly worse than any of the acting in the recent run of shows. I thought it was slow, but it didn't bother me. Definitely think they jumped the gun and made it rely too heavily on the audience having seen the end of Rebels.

I hadn't gotten that impression. I've always thought this was Filoni's shot at continuing his carved out section of Star Wars stories, themes, and characters.
