Okay I finally watched the new episode and without reading anyone's posts I'll post my thoughts and then go and see if anybody else actually liked it, lol.
First the bad:
1. Something about the production value of this series just seems to scream "TV show" more than Mando 1 and 2 and BOBF. It's hard to put my finger onto on specific thing because I think the TV vibe is so widespread. Even the way AOTC Obi-Wan and Anakin's lightsabers ignited at the beginning just seemed off and wonky.
2.
The music during Tala's death felt way too sad and overly manipulative. It was a cool death, just let it play out without going so over the top, lol. I felt like the show so wanted me to cry that I couldn't help but want to roll my eyes instead.
3. A hundred Stormtroopers and they
still can't hit any "fish in a barrel" Rebels until they get two feet away? Good grief, lol.
Other than those things I like pretty much everything else! Including Reva!
And I said after the first episode that pretty much the only explanation I'd accept for why she knew Vader's true identity was if she was a youngling who witnessed him killing other Jedi as Anakin and color me surprised but they did it. Holy crap did they double down on Vader's evilness! I loved it!
And his competency. Of course I would have preferred that Reva die outright but honestly after this episode I can't say that I hate her character anymore so wow, what a feat the accomplished there, lol.
I tried once, on an airplane, but I fell asleep.
