I love this Star Wars series, and I haven't said that about any of the other series (which I did enjoy) or recent movies (episodes 7,8,9, which it's my opinion that those three movies should be retconned). As mentioned in other posts, this show is definitely the breath of fresh air that Star Wars needs. The casting, acting, writing, and mature themes make it phenomenal. It delivers a really well crafted and interesting story with mature writing that make it feel real instead of being just another star wars show that is completely unbelievable or that tries to win you over by shoving a bunch of lightsabers, blasters, and silly stormtroopers in your face. It's definitely a slow burn that builds into something in which I am very interested to see where it's going. THERE ARE A COUPLE SMALL SPOILERS BELOW RELATED TO LOCATIONS: Also I love that we get to explore really interesting locations including Coruscant (finally!), a super interesting Imperial prison/labor camp, an Imperial garrison on a planet with lots of beautiful highlands, and another forested planet. I've had enough of Tatooine between the Mandalorian and The Book of Bobba Fett!
