After the sequels finished, I started to get pretty annoyed with Lucasfilm and their direction… now with the Disney+ shows, it feels like a bunch of friends playing with their action figures and making something fun.

My expectation is some fun moments, cool visuals/action scenes and an alright-good story. Disney has proved they are NEVER going to reach the storytelling heights of the OT, and I’m glad to see them just trying to tell some new stories.

Absolutely this.

Lucasfilm have realised they won’t often hit those storytelling and “magic in a bottle” highs of the Original Trilogy, and instead will give more us more new stories done in a more uninspiring and “formula scifi tv” series, with the occasional sprinkling of old Star Wars magic here and there.

It is shame that this series, so anticipated for years, has so low production values so far.
 

The Inquisitors are fairly awful all around to the point of distraction. Even the acting, which is surprising and disappointing given the strong performances from the actors in their other work.

The acting from everyone else is strong as expected, and the overall story is obviously compelling, but as others have already posted, it is not executed very well in thees first two episodes.

I hope the coming episodes improve upon what we’ve seen so far, but won’t be too surprised if they don’t.
