    I haven’t watched season 1 yet; is it worth bothering with if there isn’t going to be a season 2?

      I really liked that it was set in the old republic. Usually just the books go into that time segment and I’m sad that it’s not going to get a second season.

      I found it fairly entertaining on the whole and it leaves off in a way that I would say is final enough but clearly could use a season 2. Honestly I’d say you could literally flip a coin to decide and either way it’s fine.

      I rather enjoyed it unlike Kenobi and The Book of Boba Fett, it did a lot of things right and I was interested in seeing where it went. I have no regrets having watched it and hope some of the dangling threads are picked up elsewhere (I wouldn’t be surprised if they announced a comic book based in the season 2 plans).
