I tried, I really really tried not to soy face when they revealed Thrawn. But it overpowered me. The sight of a book character being on screen overpowered my will, my mouth fell agape and I full on soy faced. I even kicked my feet a little.
Like a thousand YouTube clickbait thumbnails before me, I collapsed under the weight of immense hype.
I thought the same for the first 2 episodes. In my opinion it gets way better starting with the third episode.
