The animation style starts growing on you, and in some scenes, really impressive. The story has substance and could also improve. The pace has fantastical energy. Characters behaviors become predictable, but there is sufficient story weaving. Stays true to its place in Star Wars
I was drawn in wanting more defined character story arcs, emotional climaxes of different variety, distinctions between moral grey areas and absolutes (only sith with deal in absolutes) by which you get to understand characters by their compromises.
The villains were a little too watered down for my taste, but this does welcome a broader age group for viewers. Better still, a dash of spice can give meaning to everything nice.
season 2 required :)
