My other hot takes:
- 80% of the show is action scenes that never end
- Obi-wan, my favorite prequel character, has a permanent stick up his ass and I don’t like it
- Anakin is less whiny than his film counterpart, which is great, but still written unevenly
- Ashoka didn’t become tolerable until Rebels
- Padme is severely underutilized
- Maul is a completely different character than in TPM
- I didn’t like the ending very much (even though I liked the episode and the last arc in general)
