It's not as bad as 7-9 but man it's so...idk. Shallow? Safe? Every fight is no real threat, there aren't any stakes, there's no like, higher resolution to the plot thusfar. It's like reading a Star Wars picture book that you see in Scholastic book fairs or something. No adult themes, no grey morality, cheesy 'omg all animals are sensitive and like us' moments, they train a village to take down an ATST that apparently was so hard but they did it in 10 min of training. The fight choreography isn't even cool. His flamethrower is worthless. Idk. Thankfully it's short.

The last 3 episodes are probably the best ones, and the last 2 in particular deal more with the overarching plot. Ep 6 is probably my favorite.

It doesn't suck total donkey balls and it's star wars. That's basically the whole appeal imo.

It has a setting that feels grounded and makes internal sense, the dialogue doesn't make you want to rip off your ears, and the mascot character actually has moments where it's endearing rather than nonstop annoying.

It's the best watchable Star Wars in decades.

It has some cool moments, like the scene with the scout troopers chatting and just showing imperial remnants and life in a post-OT universe in general. It's fun seeing more grounded Star Wars stories not centered around jedi and galactic conflict. But yeah most of the writing feels on the level of a Saturday morning cartoon or after-school show on cable.

Yeah, it wasn't great. Though, it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be.

I finished it, the last 3 episodes were def much better paced and had more interesting things going on. Also good seeing Bill Burr lol. Went from making fun of Star Wars to being one of the highlights of the show.
