I'm sure Peen will agree which is why he is so active here
ive heard good things so far, one of the next few weekends i will catch up with you boys. I kind of expected this to be better than every other star wars show because they can just do whatever the fuck they want, where they want it and it doesnt have to fit neatly into a 2 week window to gap fill for other content. My buddy texted me and is saying the second stormtroopers show up they are gonna ruin it which sounds like something i would say lol. Is that true? No stormtroopers through 4 episodes? These show runners have 1000x more restraint than Favreau and Filoni who people seem to think are doing a good job somehow. On that anecdote alone id give them the top job of handling these shows lmao
Knowing nothing about the show I would still expect the villain of the show to turn good because that is what Disney has done 5 or 6 times already. They do that even more than the lone wolf with a lost child trope.
Turned good -
Callus from Rebels (imperial, survives) Kylo (ded immediately) Hux (maybe? who even knows lol @ the sequels) Antagonist from Fallen Order (force user, ded immediately) Antagonist from BattleFront 2 (imperial, survives)
Lone wolf with powerful child -
Mando (baby yoda) Bad Batch (omega) Kenobi (luke/leia)
Lucasfilm has their target demographic down at least. Rebellious babysitters.

I'm sure someone will turn good, but maybe they'll have someone turn bad too. I think it's good to have people change outside of people who are on the dark side of the force.
But the world building is pretty cool, the scenaries are cool. The mysticness is pretty cool.
The acting is GREAT, the writing is GREAT. It's like what we got with the first season of GoT IMO in terms of dialogue.
and wtf... why you waiting so long?
FYI this will be 12 episodes long.

GoT season 1 is arguably the best season of TV ever for me
that is crazy high praise but you usually have good takes, i aint gonna give disney the benefit of the doubt on basically anything but im excited to see whats up

Ya it’s only been four episodes; it’s not the same as GoT season 1, not fair to compare really. I often get recency bias.
The music is also great so that sometimes makes me think things are better than they are.
Some random dudes comment on Reddit; which by the way, Star Wars sub Reddit is amongst the best subreddits out there; so much funny
“I think the pacing and setup is perfect. Each character has so much depth, and every scene has value. I don't think you could cut much of it out to reach the same payoff. This shows Star Wars doesn't always need the nostalgia factor, each episode is amazing in it's own way. No big og trilogy character needed.
This episode was simply a masterpiece. The tension build and finish, the best visual sequence I've seen in star wars, it's all perfect. It still remains so grounded and realistic, all the worldbuilding and dialogue is brilliant considering the passion put into it all. Way better than Boba and Kenobi, this is some of the best Star Wars we've ever seen.”
