I watched it mostly out of curiosity. I have to say, it was better than I expected. That said, I didn’t expect much at all. As Bear said above - and I mentioned the very same thing to a friend of mine a few days ago - I lowered my expectations after Fett and the second season of Mando.

Disney’s TV shows are really starting to get a brightly-lit and clean TV show look to them. I liked the opening scene of Ben working in the meat processing facility the best of the first episode. Ewan really looks good as a more aged person now. It fits.

The second episode looked and felt like it was a movie set. Fine I guess, because it is. I enjoyed the last half with Ben and Leia the best. They work well together. I was for sure concerned when I saw they were going with yet another cute kid. That’s not a strength of Lucasfilm, past or present. She works well though and I have no problem at all believing that kid would grow up to be 1977 Leia. She even favors her a bit. I thought the scene with little Luke pretending to fly a ship looked ridiculous. That could easily be a Lucas-created moment with yet another cute little kid. Again, not their strong suit.

To me, the biggest weakness is Reva by far. She’s wooden, one-dimensional, and completely predictable. I’ll watch both again this evening and see if it feels a bit more interesting.
