It was great to see a well produced series. It was great to see Star Wars.
I'm almost 50. Star Wars was base. ESB was awesome. Half of RoTJ was ok. 1,2,3 were crap. 7 repeated 4, but not quite as good. 8 was bad. 9 I enjoyed. Rogue One was really fantastically great. I'll stop there. I'm used to the idea that most of SW is crap. It's not good, it's not aimed at me.
I was disappointed in the writing. This is the golden age of television, streaming media. This was the ONLY original streaming content underpinning the launch of Disney+. The company that just brought us Infinity War/Endgame.
It felt... low. Small. Episodic. It felt like the stakes were low, and the characterizations were missing. It felt like this would have been a really fantastic show back in 1985, but this is the golden _f*cking_ age of TV. Game of Thrones, Intrigue, Plot, !Theme!, a company that understands the value of good writing (Frozen, Marvel, etc). And this was an opportunity for one of the worlds largest, best story telling companies - with all the f*cking might of their desire to show the world they can do it fucking right.
And they didn't, they made an inconsequential show that delighted a few kids (and a few more adults). They could have given a 10, but they aimed for a 4. They did hit that 4 solidly though.
