I enjoyed the first episode, but am not entirely sold on Sabine's characterization. Several things just felt a little off to me. She always had a rebel (lol get it) streak but going off and ignoring Ahsoka's request that the map stay on the ship feels off to me. The fact she instantly grabs the lightsaber as her weapon of choice to pursue some droid when the majority of her existence has been fighting without a lightsaber (even when you account that short period of time where she had the Darksaber) also feels weird to me, and was obviously just leading up to the required lightsaber fight with Sith apprentice (who was standing around waiting for her??) Also all these Force people having survived Order 66 really makes Palpatine/Vader/Yoda feel like schmucks.
They did do a good job of making Lothcats cute though! They're not as cute as the animated ones, but still quite cute!
