Yeah i really thought this show was a little average during the first few episodes, and it came across as a bit of an anticlimax based the great previews that came before it. But I must say 5 episodes in and each one flys along and seems way too short. The scenes in the country side are gorgeous and that moment in ep5 they get buzzed by a low flying Tie-fighter is awesome, not to mention the sound of it flying past in Dobly Atmos is just magnificent.
This show appears the have that magic sauce the made "Rogue One" so good. I guess having Diego Luna there helps too...
I really liked "The Mandalorian" and I'm thinking this series might end up even better.
