Not only did it take me back to the Star Wars in my head that existed before the prequels existed but it was the most sobering depiction of struggle that Star Wars has ever achieved on screen. The prison episodes were especially moving.
What do yall think about the show?
I thought it took far too long to give me a reason to care, and it generally bored me.
the prison arc definitely hooked me, and I'm excited for the next season. But I couldn't come anywhere close to calling it the "best" thing personally.
if the rest of the show going forwards is as good as the last few episodes of the first season, then it could get into my top 5. but as it stands, I wouldn't want to rewatch it any time soon.
I too, was rather confused by the first couple episodes, but it got good eventually.
