Episode one was okay! I was excited to see where this series was going, it was super cool that we got a show set in the High Republic era. Then episode two got a little worse, but it was still watchable. I still wanted to see where this series was heading. Episode three came out... how stupid of a director and writer do you have to be to make that episode come to pass. They really said, "Yeah this is a fantastic episode, we really did a great job, and I'm sure everyone will love it." It wasn't just a poor "Star Wars" episode, it was a poor live-action episode in the sense of entertainment itself. Not only is the director putting stupid political and societal hints into the show (that Star Wars has never done before), but they also seem to have never watched a single Star Wars movie or show that was previously made in the past 40 years. Such a horrible disgrace, apparently anyone can write and direct a Star Wars movie and show now? The budget, $180 million, where did that money go? I saw none of it in episode 3, it clearly didn't go into the writing on that episode. The characters contradict themselves MULTIPLE times, going back and forth, spouting nonsense - "The force is a thread, it is not a weapon you can decide to use whenever" Proceeds to use the "force" or thread as a weapon multiple times... Osha and Mae are too young to make a decision on their own, they do not know who they are or what they want, "You have to choose your own destiny, what do you choose Osha, you decide your fate right now." Like what??? I could probably have written a better script and directed this episode better. Wait I know I could because these contradictions and this sloppy writing are so incredibly horrible, almost anyone with a brain could do better, a child who likes Star Wars could do better. This episode is so absurdly god-awful. The worst part is Disney won't care, they won't change, they won't listen. The director won't care, won't take feedback, and will keep mouthing off saying we're the problem. The people who actually like Star Wars, the fans, we don't know anything and the director is such an "amazing writer." This review does not do the justice of explaining how upset I am and how horrible this episode has been. Thanks for ruining my childhood series, and thanks for wasting my time. I'll finish this by saying, how the heck does a notebook on fire burn down a hallway, room, and building fully built of stone, how did it spread, and what caught on fire? What is going on at Disney??
