Everything you expect from a James Gunn film: Comedic moments (but not overdoing it/out of place), great action, vibrant visuals, heroes that you can’t help but like with antagonists you can’t help but hate. The assignment was a create a thrill ride and have the audience walk out of the cinema with a smile on their face and high hopes for the new DCU - for me, I’d say mission accomplished.

A perfect celebration of the greatest composer in cinema!

So far fine, its certainly a more focus story than some of Lucasfilm’s predecessors (Boba-Fett, which didn't know which went in different directions with its antagonist, or Ashoka which I felt relied on verbal exposition if you hadn’t watched the animated series ‘Rebels’). Based on the two episodes so far, the show looks great, good score and a fresh take on its combat scenes, and a simple yet focused plot. The dialogue in places can sometimes be a little flat (but then, so were the prequels, so it feels ‘on tone’ in that regard). My only criticism, is some scenes lack momentum and then a sudden end on both episodes (similar to the early episodes of ‘Andor’), where it feels like they just say END HERE halfway through an episode. That said, like ‘Andor’, it carries on immediately from where you left off. I hope there is a good pay off at the end, I guess we’ll know in the next few weeks!
