I finished binging this last night and I have to say that I am not as impressed as others seem to be. I found the story kind of slow. I’m still waiting for the culmination of Cassian’s line to Jyn Erso that he has done some questionable things. This is supposed to be the first of two seasons and I feel this hasn’t taken us that far.

This story takes place in the same universe as Rebels. Rebels covered the years up to ANH and we me some of the same characters and Bail Organa’s end of the Rebel Alliance.

I truly enjoyed Obi-wan Kenobi more than this. It is definitely better orchestrated than The Book of Boba Fett, but I would not call it the best Star Wars series by any stretch of the imagination. Mandalorian has the action and story. Obi-wan has story. This has a little of both moving at a very slow pace. And while I appreciate the view inside an Imperial work prison, That was not something I would have included. An how has the empire not connected that Cassian is in their prison? Them finding out just as he breaks out would be great tension and would have made a great season finale. But this series is moving way too slow Slower than Obi-wan Kenobi. I have found many episodes hard to get interested in. I loved the characters.

I think this and Obi-wan have forgotten the Lucas-ism - faster and more intense. That is something BOBF had, even if the story had cohesion issues.

Let’s hope season 2 is better.
