Just watched a 20-minute recap of season 1 with scenes to accompany it, and my few cents are the same as my thoughts before the series’ premiere;

the acting (oh my god, the acting), the dialogue and at times the location designs are what is really ruining current Star Wars and this series. Dialogue and acting has to be a dance between the two professions, but here it comes across as your drunk uncle dancing with your cat at your sister’s wedding. It’s just not good, but it’s hilarious to laugh at as you watch it unfold. Problem is, I don’t think that is what they went for? I might be wrong.

Either replace every current writer they have used twice now, on every single project, and hire writers from HBO, Apple and a select few good ones from Netflix.

However, I’d prefer them selling the entire thing to someone who wants to write quality rather than… you know, your drunk uncle dancing with a cat.

And for the budget this thing had, with most of the location designs they create and use… and costumes… I’m… speechless… It’s literally Disney Channel from 2012 sometimes. Like, I’ve seen clips that make me think “that could’ve been from Hannah Montana”.

May the coma be with you all.

SIDENOTE:

I will say, from the 20 minutes I’ve watched, I did like 60% of the Sith executing the Jedi sequence. They have held some of the fighting on this show to a high standard. But when many of the actors can’t pull of a believable face of dread or sorrow in a scene of pure chaos and horror… then it becomes a comedy, doesn’t it.

Closing Note:

They wanted to make a drama mystery series for all the ages, but instead they created the Tommy Wiseau of Star Wars.
