Well - it’s here! The first two episodes are on Disney+
Keen to hear what everyone’s thoughts are. Needless to say, there will be lots of spoilers in this discussion.
I really liked it. Felt like a solid continuation of Rebels, a bit slow at times, but overall a solid setup for what could be a very interesting and exciting series.
I feel like we should be able to guess the identity of the masked third Sith-esque villain. Don’t think it’s a fallen Ezra (too boring a plot line) but the stance and mannerisms seemed very familiar…
Also - great to see Kevin Kiner doing the music! Nice callback to some Rebels motifs here and there.
I would’ve liked to see Vanessa Marshall as Hera, I felt her voice was so uniquely matched. This Hera seems way too girly for a maternal older Hera. And where is her son?
Hoping for a Freddie Prinze Jr cameo.
Dave Filoni must be so happy to finally tell this story. Can’t wait to see what comes next!
It seems it’s a show for people who watched the animated series only. Who is Ezra? Why is he more important than stopping a war? Why is Thrawn in exile on the other side of the galaxy?
It’s written like we all should be familiar and attached to these characters. Not to mention all the dead space in between lines, it all seemed awkward, Dawson was no better than a rock acting. Just sad, I really wanted to like this show but I’m not going back to watch 200 hours of backstory
