No other Star Wars series brings this much Humanity to the galaxy.
We see not only the rebel heroes being born, but also the real people within all levels of the Empire itself. It’s much, much more deep than the simple good/bad. These people are part of a machine, the empire, and they’re just trying to make a living.
The main protagonist is also a welcomed departure from the classic “cocky” Solo esque hero, and is much more low-key confident.
Feels like a much more adult version of Star Wars too. They really toned down the use of CGI alien characters as well, including them just as extras where needed.
Overall effects are on par with the feature films too.
NOTE— we found the first two episodes a little sluggish, but get through to the end of Episode 3 and you’ll be hooked.
Really liking this series!
