Something I’m really looking forward to about this show is its potential to be a whole new way for someone to experience Star Wars for the first time. Imagine your first exposure to Star Wars being a modern, high-quality, big-budget show that shows the galaxy from the POV of non-force-sensitive characters, similar to The Mandalorian (except that instead of taking place after the main story, it takes place before). Hopefully, like Rogue One did for A New Hope, more weight will be added to viewers’ understanding of the struggle against the Empire, so the stage can be even more completely set for following the great adventures of the OT.

To date, A New Hope has been the best introduction to Star Wars (and honestly probably will be for a while)…but I hope this show at least challenges that title.
