Yes I do get the sense that BOBF is meant as filler while we wait for the Kenobi series, Andor and of course season 3 of The Mandalorian and all of the Thrawn stuff that will happen in future.
I’ve noticed that the BOBF ratings on sites like IMDb have dropped a fair bit since the first few episodes, but when all of these other shows come along I think BOBF will get less criticism as its intended purpose between these series becomes more apparent.
As far as I’m concerned it’s been a solid series so far and if this is the “worst” live action SW series we’ll get in the coming year/s then I’d say we are very lucky.
