Just watched two episodes. My thought just now is, this is rather slow. The trailer looked extremely promising, but so far I'm not recognizing that in the show. Hoping it'll still work out better.
I intentionally ignored this thread until having watched some of it. Interesting that Joelist also commented on the slowness, as apparently have other people. What are your thoughts so far
@YJ02?
i think its great..really
and though i understand why some do not like it, i find THEIR (meaning no one here) reasons childish
-- "" no one mentions the Force, or Jedi, or Darth Vader. No one said anything about the Emperor""
and a lot of the "there's not enough pew-pew" comments
i mean grow up.. there is a LOT of other sci fi out there packed full of action and pew pew (and someone remind these people SW's IS fantasy!)
Why is it 'great' imo opinion, so far?
well
1- backstory for a well liked character from a well liked movie. A character we know has a firm 'end date'. Where did he come from, whats his motivation? Who got him into the Rebellion?
2- A lot of the 'side show' of both daily life in the big galaxy; the inner workings of the ISB which we have never seen befor,e and so far no fall back on filling the set with storm troopers as visual shorthand when we know from canon that storm troopers were one of the smallest units of the Imperial military. Corpo's and Imperial Army (like the unit Solo was in) made up the bulk of the military
3- Look at the inside of the Rebel movement and I think we will see more than one cell. We have seen one on its own before in REBELS before it linked up with the larger Rebellion. They each have diff motivations, some are more violent and extreme but all will come together- how? will they show this?
4- and of course, No Skywalkers, no Jedi, no Sith, no Force, no Death Star... well there might be a Jedi...
and all of the antiques in Lutheran's store.. bringing so much into canon by default, like Starkiller, or at least his mask
