Lost/Found

Episode was prettig okay. I know people who already saw the whole series and the most of them liked it. It is simply a nice story during the High Republic era of the Jedi, nothing more and nothing less. It will let you see the purpose of the Jedi and what they did during the many years of peace.

I am getting fed up with all the so called Star Wars fans who think they have the right to burn down every Star Wars movie and series and only think the first 3 movies are the holy grail. Some actually ventilate their opinion as they are talking on behalf of all "so called real" Star Wars fans. Well, I just want to say, speak for yourself. I like most of the series and movies, also the ones created by Disney. And I am a Star Wars fan since the first movie back in the seventies.

Give this series a chance and you will see it is pretty okay. A nice story in the Star Wars Universe. I want more of this!!

I had been looking forward to this show for a while, but was a little hesitant to watch it after seeing so many negative reviews. Had some time this evening to give it a shot, and I'm still processing what I just watched.

It's not fair to judge a whole show off of one episode, but I have to say the start is not promising. Some characters (Master Sol) seem to fit and fill out their role well, others (Yord) feel incredibly forced. Dialogue is painful, and the special effects really don't seem too, well, "special". The worst part for me though is that this doesn't even feel like Star Wars.

Having been on several of Disney's newer rides, it felt more like I was watching a play that was moving from one section of a theme park attraction to another. Camera angles were odd, sets looked detailed, but I didn't feel truly immersed in the story. This felt more like a junior high production than something with a Broadway-level budget.

Not sure I'll be able to finish this one off, depending on how the next few episodes play out. I'll give it a try, but this feels like a show without the soul of Star Wars.

It's hard for me to take a lot of the review-bombing and actual negative reception for Star Wars content seriously anymore. Why should I be avoiding a series because it has queer characters, POC characters or actors who are queer and POC?

I do think a lot of people just lost interest in Star Wars content somewhere around Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi, though. And I have finally got around to reading actual criticism for this series and so far, I can sort of understand some of it.

This pilot was a bit rough. I'm not sold on all of the acting, some of the logic doesn't make sense, and admittedly, some of the dialogue is very on-the-nose or just... not great.

In contrast, some of the acting is actually pretty good, and I am legitimately invested in this story. A Star Wars mystery? Hey, why not?

Star Wars space logic really is kind of silly. I still remember in Clone Wars when Anakin was jumping around in space as if gravity doesn't exist😂Makes you wonder why they don't bother with stuff like that.

But all-in-all, I don't hate it so far. The production isn't as bad as people led me to believe, nor is the plot. I will continue watching.

Wont go into spoilers. I'll get straight into this by saying that the writing and dialogue is so flat and at times really really bad here. There's so much clunky exposition to get the audience caught up and there's lots of failed attempts at humor. The acting is fine. The only ones who were somewhat good were the girl from Logan and the guy from Squid Game (Sorry, I don't know their names.) The cgi and sets range from not very good to pretty good. It looks better than kenobi and boba fett but nowhere near Andor and some of mando.

The characters are completely hollow so far, and honestly so is the plot. There's just nothing keeping me interested in watching this show. At least we still have Andor season 2 to look forward to.

Ep 1 attempts to set the stage for a new Star Wars adventure, but it feels more like a stumbling first step than a grand beginning. The narrative pace is sluggish, making it difficult to stay engaged. The characters, though diverse, come across as flat and unmemorable, lacking the depth one would expect from a Star Wars series. The visuals, while impressive, can't compensate for the underwhelming storyline and wooden dialogue. It's as if the creators were more focused on ticking boxes than delivering a truly compelling tale. Perhaps the series will find its footing in later episodes, but this debut is more of a misstep than a triumph.
