    Sorry if you think this is a bad thread to start. Talk to the admins, maybe they can delete it. I don't care. But I just wanted to hear opinions on the show. Someone I read or heard somewhere pointed out that the two main characters are just clones of other star wars characters, so obviously it's not really original in that respect. But it's gotten a lot of positive attention, so I wanted to know what others thought.

    I like it I don't have the preconceptions of most Star Wars nerds so I'm looking at it just as a stand alone series. If anything the episodes are way too short no real time for character development so they are just plopped in there and off you go. Other than that I like the show..

    I've only seen the first episode and thought it was ok. Nothing to freak out about.

    Snoozefest I stopped watching after four episodes. Barely could pay attention after 5. I think the Star Wars fans are just hanging on because OMG it's Star Wars and there's a baby yoda and a boba fett type character.

    It'd be a better series if Disney wasn't involved imo.
    Story development is quite slow and it looks like it's going to be an 8 ep season show, there's also a new director per episode which is a bit odd and takes away some of the continuity.
    Worth watching nonetheless.

    Season 2 trailer now out.



    Will be watching it, even with its flaws I really enjoyed season 1 overall and this looks to be more or less on par ( hopefully better )

    They did that here too to stop people from taking the 1 ( or was it 2 ?) week free trial and binging the show in a day and then released the remaining episodes weekly. I just subbed for a month,watched Mandalorian and some marvel crap and then cancelled.

    Yeah Amazon Prime did the same with Season 2 of The Boys, I suspect for the same reason that Repo Man mentioned, result people review bombed it. Folk really are self centred selfish kn*b heads now.

    N0sferatU is right. Its a money grab by using characters to draw in people.

    Story wise its not much, take away the mandolorian and the illegitimate green baby (child of Kermit and Miss Piggy), and you dont really have much left

    Might be the reason why those characters are in the show?

    Holy TAT3!

    Dude how long have you been in the forums, just saw your avatar and i recall it being there for YEARS!!!

    On topic, yeah its 'star power' to draw on the crowd. Every one goes OOOH, AAAAAH and pay no attention to the lack of a good story. And this is coming from a star wars fan.
