It is refreshing to see a series explore new content, new worlds, and new eras in the Star Wars universe. I am only 2 episodes in, and I really liking it. The effects are spectacular, the combat sequences are exquisite, and the drama is building. All new characters and it is all set in an era 100 years before the rise of the Empire. As a SW geek I will watch anything and everything they make with the SW logo on it. So far, this has been a very pleasant surprise.
