Just watched the first part. I'll avoid any kind of spoilers...

First things first, the animation is indeed terrible, amateurish, floaty, overdone, underdone, uninspired etc. However, everything else is soooo right that that first major flaw is quite easy to overlook.

It only took 31 years but finally somebody has made a film/video that actually felt like honest to goodness Star Wars. You care about the characters, the story, the stakes and the drama. It's got blaster shootouts, dogfights, last-minute-escapes and danger. After watching, it seemed easy and obvious: Just take all the good things about the OT and then make a show featuring them. Maybe it just took GL not being in the way to do this seemingly simple thing.

When one of the characters pulls out a certain thing towards the end it felt like something special and epic. I was so pumped by the end that when a certain other character from the OT uttered a certain 3 word refrence back to the OT, I suddenly surprised myself and shoved my fist in the air and shouted "Yes!".

I cannot wait to see more of this show and if the ST is even just a little better than this then I'll be happy.

(Oh and no crawl, there's always fanedits)

You might be missing the point here. Rebels is the crawl.

Whaaa? I made no point about the crawl for which I could have hit or missed.

Aside from that... the show on the whole feels very much inspired, it's just that the character animation is lacking... we're in agreement.

I never said the show as a whole felt uninspired (Quite the opposit!), I said the character animation was lacking (e.g. "the animation is.... uninspired"). We are in total agreement about all aspects, unless I'm not understanding your point.
