Story telling is honestly not that great. This tragedy of a series is clearly the writers fault. No depth into the characters they dissappear as fast as they show up. One time I said the villian made star wars, we'll no villian can save this series. Will not watch any additional series. I honestly thought it couldn't get worst than sabines character in Ahsoka, but I was proved wrong again. For the people that think we bomb this because we are out of touch or woke. Keep your insults to yourself. Boba felt wasn't good either. Ahsoka was good until they made Sabine a jedi, which was foolish. If you understood and real story to star wars, you would understand why this series so so bad. Many bad reviews already mentioned it.
I agree with Phillips review so im reposting it pros:
breathtaking scenery (the only reason I'm giving any stars)
Cons:
-horrendous acting
-Classic female protagonist where her difficult past is described and not shown
-the plot which is explained in episode 2 is underwhelming considering the 180M dollar budget
-simple technical issues such as: an open flame roaring in space where no oxygen is present, crash landing on a ship and presumably flying out of her seat (she wakes up on the ground after the crash, and not strapped into her seat before the crash) with absolutely ZERO signs of any injuries, the main Jedi who thought Anakin blew up the death star ignites his lightsaber unnecessarily way too much, etc. The list goes on and there has only been 60 minutes of content released so far.
-so far there's no real reason to care for any of the characters despite how bad this show wants you to.
To put my review into context, I have not read the lore nor have I watched anything outside the original 6 movies, the mandalorian, obi wan, and the last Jedi (big L on the new trilogy)
I am a big fan of Star wars though. It's disheartening seeing Star wars go so far downhill that by the time we get a sith focused story, it's ruined by lack of decent acting, a messy and underwhelming/clichè and at times, just downright cringy decisions. For instance, the first fight in episode one. Lightsabers (according to past Disney star wars movies and TV shows) don't actually kill anyone, however throwing knives from acolyte do. The choreography was slow and you could feel that they were holding back to avoid hurting each other which led to a slow and cringy fight that the music was trying to dictate as "serious". (I quite literally couldn't stop laughing). The fact alone that the Jedi felt she needed to put out her lightsaber to defend herself against throwing kn I was excited to see the lightsabers, but it felt wrong seeing the first ignition.
My last and biggest gripe with this show so far, is that it feels like a rehearsed play. Almost like they are saying their lines to each other for the first time in full set and costume. They hired a writer who has literally never seen ANYTHING star wars or star wars related (she mentioned Chewbacca as a dog) and it shows.
I don't know where the 180M dollar budget went, however I can say for sure that it wasn't spent making content by star wars fans, for star wars fans
