Cool poster

Looks "fine". At least it's not set in the 5 years between like everything else is.

I just can't get excited about anything Star Wars anymore. If it's good, great. If not, oh well.

Swear to Christ if it's revealed Carrie Anne Moss at the end is a Skywalker, I'll never watch Star Wars again. No legacy shit in this, please.

looks purdy and the cast is chama but we'll see, Star Wars looking good and attracting talented actors has never been the problem

[Greedouw]

I think it looks pretty great… takes place 100 years before TPM and toward the end of an unexplored (cinematic wise) era

Looks like a bunch of young Jedi are going to get curb stomped by the Dark Side.

Looks like some assholes are gonna get curb stomped by a Wookiee jedi

Shows fine so far. Wasn't expecting Ahsoka quality so not really disappointed.

Though rolled my eyes at

I was excited for this, but it was terrible. The writing is simply awful.

Ex-Jedi is accused of murdering a Jedi Master, so let's....put her on a transport ship managed entirely by about 4 droids? A padawan should be able to get out of that situation. Come on...

Even the sets and costumes, which SW typically nails, were CW-level quality. What in the fuck did they spend 180 mil on?

I just woke up and it took me longer than I care to admit to remember that Carrie Anne Moss is not, in fact, Carrie Fisher.

I need to resub to D+ to confirm, but I've read that the film quality is really lacking. Haven't read too much into the story.

[Anoat]

It’s fine. It’s definitely more low budget than Ahsoka and Andor. One thing I was really surprised was I was under the assumption this was supposed to be thousands of years ago like Knights of the Old Republic time but they establish it’s only 100 years before the rise of the Empire. So I just know they are going to get cheeky with some cameo in a later episode. In fact it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if they try to say the Wookie Jedi is Chewbacca’s father or something and we get teenage Chewie lol

[Greedouw]

Given the time period, it would likely be Yoda

[Odesseiron]

I'm not watching/going to watch this but I saw some article where the show lead or the director was like "It's hard to find places to insert references due to the time period" and there you have in that one sentence one of the major things that is wrong.

It's 100 years before anything that's (now) considered canon. Just do whatever the fuck you want and make it fresh and interesting. I don't want all these references.

I dunno. Maybe I'm the minority.
