Eric G @UnleashTheGrub 3d Finally something fresh and new in the Star Wars universe. Pretty well acted, some good twists, and plenty of intense action, but it's at its most insightful for offering a new perspective on the Star Wars galaxy. Mainly, it introduces shades of grey in the overly-reductive, overly-trodden good/bad, light/dark Star Wars binary. It forces the the viewer to think critically about the assumptions behind the Force, the Jedi Order, morality, and how societal power is structured and executed. Plus, the pre-prequel context is cool to see! Don't listen to the fanboy hate: they just wanted to see mindless action sequences of Jedi fighting the "bad guys." Give it a watch!

It is a shame it was review-bombed and that they won't be making a second season, as there were some loose ends I wanted to find out about. Some great lightsaber duels and the Stranger was a cool character. See more R F @asami7 Jul 5 Loved this introduction to pre-prequel era Star Wars! The choreography of the lightsaber duels were awesome and I really enjoyed the story!

Amazing tension among the characters all the time and such a great action and battle scenes, the choreographies were impecable and the fights made you sit at the edge of the seat everytime... I highly praise the characterisations of all the actors and mostly the director's work and the chance she had to show us a glimpse of the universe so far back in time. I really, really wish it had a second season at least, can't understand why it was cancelled See more Alex J @RT51904888 Jun 27 Very interesting to explore the Star Wars galaxy at a previously uncovered point of time. With nearly 50 years of Star Wars behind us, it’s tough to always be innovative but the fight choreography is mind blowing. Some of the light saber duels here are like comparing Robert Patrick’s T-1000!in T2 to the stop-motion T-800 at the end of Terminator; it’s literally light years beyond what came before it. It’s a shame we won’t get more time to explore this corner of the SW universe, we scratched the surface on a chain of events that will ultimately lead to Anakin Skywalker’s birth. Seems like a big deal worth exploring! It’s always interesting to see the Jedi and their flaws/hubris, but what was most interesting was seeing Force users not aligned with either the Jedi or the Sith. This show had so much potential. I will say it was a huge mistake to introduce Plagueis on screen when a second season was in limbo. A second season should have been green lit before airing, but still.
