Things that excited me:
Ezra’s new look (I’m reminded a bit of Taxi Driver when De Niro shaves his head and shit gets real).
Ezra has a real blaster now, and he uses it liberally (looks like a Rebels-styled DL-44?).
Ezra has a real lightsaber now, and it’s green! (sounds different than a normal saber, too, intriguing…)
People get hit with lightsabers a lot.
Hondo.
An Ugnaught gets blown up.
It just feels darker.
