Not entirely sure how I feel about the whole first season. Obviously setting up for a second series.

I was just going to post it was all very "meh" which is v disapointing :(
I think it was 2 episodes ago it was a good one, 'cos it was good light sabre fights.
but didn't really care for any of the characters, good or bad, the bad guy was just a bit annoying, apart from when he was fightining and not talking. the main good guy was just a bit boring apart from when he was fighting the bad guy.
the twins started off good, seemed to be the only 2 people in the shows who might have had some kind of acting lessons.
then right at the end, better put something nice in for the fans to cheer about, but didn't really care by that point :(
I think viewing figures are poor, critical reception was poor, so may not get season 2.
oh yeh, and I'm trying to find out why the sniffer SPOILER: sabotaged the ship, seems I'm not the only one confused by that.

Have to say the second in charge of the Jedi landing party at the end (blond lad with all the dialogue) was about as Jedi as an assistant librarian.
Overall I don't really think the show knew what it wanted to be, even looked to be a bit PG Game of Thrones at one point.
I'll probably watch season two if it gets made but it's not exactly left me champing at the bit.

Very, very unenthralled. Whole thing seemed kinda pointless, aside from the 'big' reveal at the end, plus there seemed to be an off-screen cameo that doesn't quite gel with the supposed timeline
SPOILER: I'm 100% sure that was Palpatine on the phone

As far as I'm aware, Disney have cancelled season 2. The lead actress, Amandla Stenberg, is supposedly suing Disney for breach of contract because of it.

Great. Half a story and left unresolved. Wish I'd known that before I started watching

Finished this yesterday.
SPOILER: Is there like a school uniform shop for Jedi now? Also how did such incompetent Jedi become Jedi? Also, also, how is one bad guy able to defeat a bazillion Jedi so easily but then when just one of those Jedi fight him in the end he can't? Such a badly written show, it's only saving grace being the actors who played the twins, the Jedi that got killed, and Carrie-Anne Moss.
