I thought it was intriguing, and slower than I anticipated until the very end. Seems like a middle ground in tone/pacing to the other Mando-verse shows and Andor. I didn’t see a post here so I figured, why not?
I’ll be back tomorrow after I sleep to chat more.
I was very disappointed in this. As someone who didnt watch Clone Wars or Rebels, this show is incomprehensible and does a really poor job of relaying the information you need to digest the plot. Im happy for fans of the animated stuff if they liked it but this isnt bringing in any new fans or satisfying the people that appreciated Andor.
While I’m in the same boat as you regarding not having seen Clone Wars or Rebels, Star Wars has always referenced things that have happened off screen. Remember watching the original film before the prequels were announced? Everything they spoke about that had come before had to be imagined between you and your friends.
At least now, if we’re intrigued about who people are, or past events, we’ve got a cartoon to go back and watch.
That being said, this show does feel a bit ‘run of the mill’ to me. Especially after the brilliance of Andor. But at least now there’s something for everyone. I would be interested to see the ages of people who prefer Andor to show like Ahsoka. I have a feeling older people prefer the former. Although this is social media, so that means every exception to the rule will now appear in the comments, haha!
I’ve specifically wondered how this would have played for someone unfamiliar with the animated shows. I loved Rebels, watched seasons 2-4 as they aired, and when it was revealed this show would follow up on that I was excited.
What did it do that was incomprehensible to you? I felt that the exposition was delivered while a character was doing something instead of just like, walking or standing around.
