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.

Another map hunt for a missing and possibly dead person?

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 found the script/acting/pacing awful and the main reason I couldn’t watch.

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.

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 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.
