Now on ABC and watched the first ep.

I dunno.
I wish I could get into it more but have pretty much given up on all things SW related.

Kinda tired of the Fett helmet.
Talk about overkill!
They could have given him a different look or outfit.

Same old trope of guy we root for is outnumbered/outgunned and he turns the tables and kills them all.
I don't mind SW gun fights but seeing the high numbers of bodies in that one bothered me.

CGI beasts still looks fake.
So does baby Yoda.
Maybe try the next one but I could also easily give up since all things SW jumped the shark or the Sarlaac pit in this case.

Have you tried Andor? More mature than the other SW series. And beautifully shot. Slow start, but it really picks up around halfway through. I'd skip the flashbacks of when he was a kid. Pretty dull.

I have to get back to Andor. Like you said, I thought the first two episodes were slow so its good to know it gets better.

It picks up midway. It really was a quality show.

They're airing the whole show on ABC, or just one episode like a promotion thing? They should air this show on network tv, that would be a smart move for them.

This is just an okay show, it's not great. You're not gonna get your Star Wars fix watching this. It was just super exciting to have something that didn't totally suck for once. Is where all the hype comes from. I absolutely enjoyed it, there's some pretty bad ass moments sprinkled throughout. But i've never rewatched it. Wasn't something I had to see over and over again. True Star Wars magic is that you literally can't see it enough times.

I thought they were going to show the whole series but it looks like it was just a teaser to try and get more subscribers for Dizzy.
Which doesn't make sense to me.
Dizzy, which owns ABC, could show this and make their money off the commercials and not like they are hurting for money since they have gazillions already and are not showing any signs of going broke.

Thank you for those thoughts of which I agree with.
