(Oh and critically: black lady main character who had the temerity to think she could take Darth Vader and, worse, wasn’t immediately ground into paste)

Black lady main character, other female main supporting characters, baby-Leia, Obi-Wan having lost his force powers (a la “Luke wouldn’t run away and abandon the Jedi!”)

Yeah, I found it pretty weak after watching Andor and the Mandalorian. Had to laugh when people criticised the slow pace of Andor when Kenobi crawled along initially vs a shoot out in Andor ep1. I liked some of the Vadar v ObiWan bits quite a bit alright.

…where every background character had a story and complex problems. I enjoyed the first and last episodes, but felt as if they were bookending less than strong filler. Leia? Cool. Hayden? Redeemed. Cool elements here and there. Playing within the Skywalker saga is always a difficult endeavor. (2/2)

I can’t speak for others, or even align with some of the other comments, but for me it felt like a diorama where directors played with their action figures. Odd as it sounds, much of it didn’t feel “real” to me, whereas in Andor, you felt as if you were dropped into Times Square, (1/2)
