Ambitious, but falls short of deliverance. The acting is wooden, apart from Lee Jung-Jae, of whom seems to only be the one pouring his heart into his performance, only to be met with actors who have the chemistry of a brick wall. Poor pacing, and character development, and simply offers nothing to the overall story of star wars, making investment harder. Pacing is a really big point actually, it seems to drag throughout the first half of the episode, only to then rush to set up a 'cliffhanger' to tempt users to tune in next week... a tired approach. The biggest mystery which inspiring viewers tune in was to find out the identity the new 'bad guy', only to find out less than half way through the series, resulting in a lot of fans no longer feeling like they had the need to follow the rest of the story - knowing that ultimately, the bad guy can't win, as otherwise you wouldn't have the prequal stories, taking away almost any credible threat for the viewer. I think this show clearly demonstrates that, perhaps, Disney would benefit from resting the Star Wars brand for the next few years, and focus on new original ventures instead, instead of rehashing old franchises, pushing content over quality. (With the exception of Shogun, which was a remake but had decent writing).
