    I’d average the first two episodes as a B-.

    The pacing of the dialogue is off, and most of that could have been fixed in editing. That would largely help with the energy of the episodes.

    Rosario makes a great Ahsoka. Baylan Skoll seems like a pretty great character, and I find it sad that Stevenson died for the obvious reasons, but especially because I already feel like he’s a character I’d love to see much more of.

    People complaining about an ancient map leading to Thrawn and/or Ezra are missing that it’s not a map “to them”, it’s a map to something else that happens to be where they are.

    Excited to have a live action “night sister”, some (seemingly) grey Jedi, and a ?former? Inquisitor As representatives of non-Jedi/Sith force users.

    Weak points aside from the pacing:

    Over telegraphing the imperial folks on Coruscant.

    A bit too long spent on the Lothal highway scene which could have been about half as long, in fact the whole Sabine not showing up at the dedication was kind of pointless and it’s removal would have fixed a lot of pacing issues with the first episode.

    A little less explaining of Sabine by Ahsoka would have been fine. Just too much telling, not enough showing.
