I found the two episodes underwhelming. Some good parts, the actress playing Leia was great, as was Ewan, Smits and Edgerton. Though Ewan’s accent was ‘off’ at times, and seemed to be just a posh English accent at times instead of channeling Guinness’ distinctive Obi-Wan.
The production values looked poor overall, and the cinematography was not great which is surprising as much of the modern Star Wars has had good cinematography, even if fails in other departments elsewhere. I agree a lot with what adywan wrote in his post.
As others have said online, the plot for the series is solid, but the execution of it is not as good. We are only two episodes in, so maybe it will improve. I am looking forward to the next episode, but I haven’t really enjoyed these two episodes.
