Farm planet, boring, it’s gone.

Yavin 4, insufferable characters that are never once made relatable. It’s gone.

Mon Mothma plot, heavily, heavily trimmed.

Syril and Dedra… pretty good plot actually. Did not take up too much run time, scenes were punchy.

Agreed. Farm planet was a drag and didn’t really add much, most of it can be cut. Mon rave scene can be trimmed as well as endless chitchat about marriage problems which is irrelevant.
Yavin rebels were insufferable and I was hoping Cassian would put them out of their misery as he took flight.
i would also cut the pep talk he had with the imperial tech before he stole the fighter since it didn’t really add anything important. Also cut the imps showing a retro video since it was too on the nose n@zi. Yes we know the imps are space versions, but flat out copying them is just too earthy for me.

The same critics also said TLJ was the best Star Wars movie ever too…

I can not find a review online of The Last Jedi by Nicholas Quah. Do you have a source you can cite?

Let me clarify. Movie critics in general said TLJ was the best Star Wars movie ever, which it was not.
Now the same people say andor is the best.
My point being that their word has absolutely no weight at all.

Star Wars: The Lost Planet (A Skeleton Crew Edit) [RELEASED 1080p, 5.1]
Time

I just finished watching this, and it was really solid. I’d probably watch it again and might even check out the original episodes now. To me, it looked like it had a higher budget than any Disney+ show—the space battles and planets were far more interesting.

My only critique is that it sort of comes to a sudden end and feels a bit open-ended. That might be an issue with the original source material, though.

Overall, I really liked it and would recommend it!

This.

They bait people and then cry wolf when they get poor ratings.

After being pretty “meh” after seeing the trailers, i was surprised at how much i liked the first 2 episodes. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but to me it actually feels like Star Wars, unlike BOBF, Ahsoka and the latter part of Mando. The acting & dialogue is fine, which the trailers somehow made it seem prequel level bad, but it isn’t. And thank GOD we finally have colour back in Star Wars and not that horrendous desaturated & over dark grading that’s plagued the majority of the TV shows so far. The only thing that feels a bit off to me is the ending of both episodes. They don’t seem like an episode ending. It’s seeming to be aimed at editing into one long movie that has been chopped up into episodes more than an episodic formula.

Sadly, the dark side of the fandom is ripping it apart. The usual " Woke" bullshit comments are everywhere. Slating the show because of its female lead, the fact they mentioned " two mothers" and other crap. If it’s not white male lead they don’t class it as Star Wars. Wankers. I’m so fed up hearing how Star Wars is dead, just because it doesn’t follow their narrow minded bullshit. No one is allowed to just enjoy it any more without all their vitriol. I’ve seen so many commenting on how they refuse to watch it but will review bomb it wherever possible. Then attacking fans who dare to say they like anything “Disney” Star Wars.

This show has started out pretty well. It has my interest. I LOVE the score and i think that’s one of the reasons why it feels more like Star Wars to me. It feels very Willams to me. Although i don’t mind the different style scores in things like the Mandalorian, it seems to take away something for me. The Acolyte is probably the first TV show that i rewatched the first eps in the same day.

It doesn’t help that the creators and actors go out of their way to publicly say that they’re trying to make people mad on purpose
