The first two episodes were very watchable. Looking forward to where this one goes.

    The first 2 episodes were fine but I really dislike these 8 episode seasons. It’s like they drag a 2 hour movie’s worth of story into 8 30-45 minute episodes.

      Yup. “Goonies meets Treasure Island” seems like a fun idea for Star Wars, which is built on mashup and pastiche anyway. The little extra elements seem well thought out, and the performances are already shaping up to be better than The Acolyte’s.

        That was kinda the vibe I got from the promo material. I’m out of town right now, but I intend to watch it with my kids. I’m pretty sure they’ll enjoy it.

          It’s not going to make anyone forget Andor, and it’s still early, but so far it’s feeling like a better example of what Star Wars on TV should be than some of the more recent offerings.
