My opinion is somewhat different (sorry, Bored at 3AM) - and think this show would indeed benefit from an edit… whether something akin to be shortened to a ‘Tales Of The Jedi/Empire/Underworld’ 3 x 15/20 minute style edit - or a simple more straight forward 45-60 minute edit.

For me… I found the characters rather shallow, underdeveloped, and a little cliché. The animation looked great - although the direction was a little lacking in the fight scenes. As well as the story being somewhat predictable and sluggish - I struggled to stay invested with the show watching all 10 episodes of ~22 minutes (including recaps and credits) - which offered little new, fresh, or unexpected.

Not too much different to what we’ve seen many times before in The Clone Wars, Rebels, Resistance, The Bad Batch, ToTJ, ToTE, ToTU, etc. Although for fans of those shows - I’m guessing this would no doubt be a welcome continuation of those similar content.

I’m glad others enjoyed this show far more than I did. 👍

Although I do hope for the option of a much shortened / tightened edit.
 

Well, given that it’s a mathematical certainty that we’ll be swimming in various Maul edits over the next few years, I think you’ll get your chance to see a shorter version that might work better for you. 😉
