Just finished watching the first (or second?) episode. I imagined having just watched the first part of the Microseries through Anakin being knighted. I really like the idea of bookending the show with that.

Opening with a Maul tease forces the audience to just accept that from the get-go, which probably is better than after getting discount Maul in the form of his twin brother or whatever first. The darksaber is there and lets me know it’s going to tie into what I learned from the Mandalorian.

I know most of the episode is from the 2008 movie, but I found it engaging and enjoyable this time, whatever you did with it. Felt like a solid intro to a new show. Ventress felt interesting to lead off which, having been introduced from the Microseries intro. My only thought is that it felt off for her and Obi-Wan to allude to past encounters, when I’ve only ever seen her and Anakin interact.

All in all, it was a good show! I’ll check out the next one another night.
