As we’re ~12 hours away from Episode 4…

For those of you who liked the show so far, what are you hoping to see happen tonight? Which characters do you want to see in the spotlight? What are some plot developments you think would create more intrigue/excitement?

For those who haven’t liked it so far, what could they do storywise to turn ship for you? We’ve seen the production quality and that is what it is (not incredible, but not awful), so is there any way to recover your interest in the characters or plot?

I thought the flashback was a massive and unnecessary distraction and really took me out of the pacing of the first couple of episodes which I rather enjoyed, so I am hoping Ep. 4 can stay focused and deliver some genuine character connections here. Let me spend some time with our Jedi team, and give some well-written interactions between them. I didn’t like Episode 3 at all, but I thought it was the best-paced episode so far (aside from the lack of action sequences). I think the absolute worst thing they could do this episode would be to go back to the lighting fast pacing of Episode 1/2 and stay light on character development in favor of “we need to get this plot moving”. I feel like I’ve had very little time to connect with anyone yet, it’s like every scene is only the tiniest snippet of a person but I don’t actually know anyone.

Additionally, I think we really need to start seeing the Sith presence. I was hoping this show would tell the story from their perspective instead of making them the horror film monster that you barely see glimpses of… So I’m hoping the latter half of the show will bring one of them to the forefront. I think a very intriguing Sith could recover my interest, as we still have ~2.5 hours of scenes. Give me a good Sith movie and reasons to connect with the Jedi characters from here on out and I could become fond of it!
