I liked this overall, but sizable sections of it felt static and low energy, with a "so this happened, then this happened, then this happened, and finally that happened" feel. Certain parts of it really pick up and get riveting, but it at times it feels overly drawn out and relies on the actors to keep you involved.

My opinion on the Star Wars shows so far Andor- A Mando Season 2- A- Mando Season 1- B+ Mando Season 3- B Ahsoka- B- Book of Boba Fett- C+ Obi-Wan- C Curious how Skeleton Crew shakes out since it takes place in the Mandoverse and while Jon Watts doesn't scream excellence, he's assembled a pretty interesting crew of directors for the show. Also roguish Jude Law is usually a plus. Acolyte is the big question mark, since it is the first live action Star Wars to take place outside of the Skywalker Saga and if it hits, it will go a long way to convince the higher-ups and Lucasfilm to maybe start expanding the series outside of a roughly 60-year time period.

Do you have some inside access to the making of this show that none of us have? We've seen next to nothing about it. -
I'm sensing some schadenfreude

The inability of the show to give us anything meaningful in movement on the Baylan plotline is bizarre. There's long-game planning and then there's unreasonably dragging things out. We should at least have gotten some ideas of what he's up to, if the show always intended for his plotline to be a multi-season arc. And yes, a recast is a must. It's not like 50-something stoic Brits are in short supply

@Porthos I assume you're rooting for the BrewCrew to take out both the snakes and the dodgers

I don't get the hype over the Oppenheimer score. It's good but nowhere near the level of the fawning it gets

The problem with Baylan is the show is extremely slow-playing his angle. By the end of this episode we should have known exactly what he intends to do and the episode would have given the heroes the dilemma of choosing between stopping Baylan and stopping Thrawn. A lot of the episodes cover like 2/3 of the ground they should, and things feel stretched. It honestly kinda is the fault of Episodes 3/4 not being a single episode which they really should have, which denied us more time to find out what exactly is going on in Peridea

I accept your dad joke -
It didn't qualify since it was co-produced by an American production company and the listed producers are both American (one of whom is Kathleen Kennedy). Plus the director was American, the screenwriter was South African/British, it was originally intended to be a Universal production starring Johnny Depp, etc.

To be clear I thought the episode in and of itself was fine. Pretty much a setup episode. I just think if they're going to be going heavy on Nightsister stuff it'd be nice if they hadn't killed off their main Nightsister characters in random side projects years ago It was nice to hear Lars' voice again
-
You know, given what the destination world in this episode is, and the dollops of Nightsister lore in it and implied to come, it sure would have been nice if the Filoni Brain Trust in their infinite wisdom hadn't killed off Asajj Ventress in a random novel several years ago to serve the character arc of a guy who was barely in the CW show and hasn't been seen since, just because they felt obligated to showcase their cut CW ideas in some form. Cause that decision, bad as it was at the time, seems to be aging rapidly worse now.

The show heavily plays as a sequel to 1) Rebels, and 2) Several years of backstory that we get the barest hints at in dialogue, namely that Ahsoka 3) previously tried to train Sabine in some Jedi arts, and 4) that Ahsoka apparently refused to help Sabine when the Purge of Mandalore happened and Sabine lost her whole family as an apparent consequence Oh and 5) Jacen has been hanging around clearly force sensitive but Ahsoka seemingly has never offered to train Jacen herself or told Hera "hey you obviously must know Luke Skywalker cause you've been a General for years that guy is a solid dude maybe you might want to have him train Jacen if Jacen is interested?" Putting aside the Rebels/TCW connections, it in many ways feels like a Season 2 where Season 1 was written out fully but never actually shot or aired.
