I miss when Star Wars was actually good and wasn't just used as a battleground by Disney to insert their politics into every show/movie. I miss when I looked forward to new Star Wars content instead of dreading it. This show is awful. ABYSMAL. Just when you thought Kenobi and Book of Boba Fett and TROS and TFA were digger deeper to show how bad this IP could get, the Acolyte uses dynamite to blast the floor even deeper. Don't waste your time. Watch Andor or the original trilogy instead.

God this was nearly unwatchable. It's just pathetic watching one of the best series of all time brought to new depths over and over. Ahsoka's writing plummets to levels at least as bad as Book of Boba Fett or even TLJ. I've honestly seen better writing from 3rd graders. It's a disrespect to the source material, and to the great character of Thrawn to put a story with such potential into the hands of mindless hacks at Disney. -Why could the same type of lightsaber wound instantly kill Qui Gon Jin but not Sabine? -Why does Thrawn have the tactical acuity of a retarded housefly? -Why is there so much silence and pausing between each sentence -How in the hell could Thrawn with a Star Destroyer not find Ezra over years, but Sabine with only a space horse could find him within a day? It's awesome seeing Hayden return and have fun. His choreography overshadows Ahsoka's and Sabine's by far. It's a refreshing fleeting pause before the cacophony of garbage being thrown at us again. I'd rather go get a root canal than watch this garbage.

This is based on part I and II only. The intro and contextualization was great. It's awesome seeing the Order 66 content. I love seeing Ewan McGregor back on the screen. He carried this show. There's a pretty interesting set up for the series. The writing was awful at its worst. It made me physically cringe multiple times. Terrible execution. So apparently no fully functioning adult is able to run fast enough to catch a 10 year old Leia. Maybe she'll even catch up to the Flash! She's intolerable to watch. I get her wanting to disobey her parents and explore the world as a princess locked into the daily routine of duty. But she refuses to listen to Kenobi even though he tells her it's matter of life and death. She's a spoiled brat just like her cousin. Speaking of, in Part II, why does Kenobi keep walking around with his hood down? Hell, why does he dress like a Jedi? Why doesn't he shut Leia up when she keeps talking LOUDLY about Jedi and proclaiming he doesn't seem like one? Why does he keep flashing his lightsaber in the open where everyone can see it? Reva is not well written. She fell flat. I wasn't intimated by her nor did I ever think she put Kenobi, Owen, nor Leia in any real danger (since they're all in Episode 4 lol). How does Reva know Anakin is Vader? Why does she even want power? Instead of being a sympathetic or admirable villain, she's just annoying. Why doesn't the Grand Inquisitor give her punishments for acting out of line? Why did he walk in to face her and Kenobi alone? Awfully convenient. It's great seeing Kenobi back on the screen, but I had much higher hopes for how this would go. As was the problem with Luke in TLJ, why did this mighty hero of the Republic become so jaded? Kenobi was obviously planning on training Luke. So why wasn't he prepared/trained to go on a rescue mission for Leia? The visuals and score are great; but Disney has loads of money. That part is easy. The writers at Disney have no idea how to write in a logical manner. Every Star Wars and Marvel show suffers the same issues. Cool visuals. Nostalgia. But not a single damn ounce of sense. Do better Disney.

Absolute garbage. How can they portray Scarlett Witch as being good ("They'll never know what you sacrificed for them.") when she literally enslaved an entire town? The citizens were in pain and tormented and begged her to stop. But she's the victim? Nah Disney, do better. Wanda was in pain and was grieving, yes; but to pretend that she was in the right? And pretend like she's a hero in this story? No, she was the villain. This was another great idea very poorly executed.
