Lighting is overlit and clouded with too much colors and details in the background - giving it a fanfiction feel, and the costume design look stale and cheap (look at how the “Jedi robes” are reflected when the light is straight on it - like plastic). Also, the facial expressions and reaction shots in the clip above are too long and overly focused upon - giving it this teenage drama feel like you would expect from Buffy in the 90’s or the Marvel TV Shows, but the fighting choreography is surprisingly good. However, I can’t shake the feeling this is gonna try to be The Matrix meets Star Wars meets modern Earth 2024 - and I don’t see it working. None of this gives me a Star Wars feel - more like (ironically) something that would pop up on the Disney Channel trying to target and please everyone rather than what is right in the world of Star Wars.

In other words, I’ll check out some clips on YouTube when episodes release to get a feeling (not to mention reviews), but nothing in this is remotely near getting me nor my family to want to stream this and purchase Disney+ ever again.

#SIDENOTE: Just watched the series actual trailers, and the acting on certain members of the cast is atrocious - and I’m not trying to be rude. If you can’t sell an emotion like fear in a Star Wars project you shouldn’t be near it. Also, the trailer make the fighting choreography look very up and down - some were outright horrid (it looks like certain fighting scenes were made by totally different people). This is also a bad sign imo, and might be a huge hint at budgetary constraints and behind-the-scenes conflicts redirecting pivotal roles around to whomever is available on the day. Could also explain the very bad and uncomfortable acting.
