It probably won't sit well with some Star Wars fans but, for casual viewers of the franchise who aren't emotionally invested in the films, it is well-written and skilfully made entertainment. |
I was totally with it until the fourth episode. Where the undercover Empire woman was giving instructions to Obi-Wan within earshot of others yet she wasn't challenged over it. Also it was so obvious that someone or something was under that trenchcoat. I found it hilarious that no Empire personnel could notice (despite being on high alert). I could be wrong but I don't think I've even ever seen a similar Empire coat in all these years of Star Wars content. Making them stick out even more. Earlier in that episode, I had asked my wife, "How are they going to get out of there?" The writers had obviously written themselves into a corner if that's the only thing they could come up with.
btw I'm currently watching season 3 of The Boys which is really good - highly recommended.
