Probably the most intelligent script of any Star Wars production so far with tight directing to make it shine. Characters are well-grounded, their reasoning and activity justified, and their backstories colorful and emotional. There's a satisfying complexity in them and their interactions with each other. There's poignant commentary woven throughout on culture and humanness. The violence is pleasantly untraumatizing, and, in fact, the way it's kept well under control just adds to the strength of the story. Tension builds and the stakes rise with every episode. Overall, I'm thoroughly enjoying it and am glad that there are 24 episodes listed to look forward to!

On the surface, this movie is entertaining enough. It provides some suspense and a decent plot. However, if you're the type to piece together the information and try to understand the characters' actions, you may be disappointed.

The tension is enough to keep you interested but not riveted. The story line could have been better developed to avoid the questions that the deeper thinker will find. The plot doesn't get too complicated e.g. faked deaths, etc. But there are enough lies to at least keep you watching to see if you're right about who's telling the truth. And you probably are.

Overall, it works just fine for tame, quiet Friday night entertainment.
