My wife and I watched the first 55 minute episode of Star Wars Ahsoka. I hope it gets better because at the risk of sounding like Kevin Smith side character dialogue, I thought it sucked balls.

You know how Mandalorian season 1 and 2 episodes felt like mini Star Wars movies? Ahsoka felt like a very typical television show with the most pedestrian lightsaber fights you've ever seen (maybe it was a mistake to let Dave Filoni direct the pilot episode?). And no, outrunning the 'cops' on your speeder bike is not a cool moment.

I should mention that I also gave up on Andor three episodes in (which is a SW show that everyone else seems to adore). It really bothered me that so many Andor actors were British, just for sake of convenience as it was shot in the UK (Alien 3 is also guilty of this). And dare I say it, Andor was boring in those first 3 episodes. Basically I'm in no hurry to watch Ahsoka episode two. Rant over.

btw I actually enjoy the sequel trilogy (sorry). When watching the last one, it does help to know that the novelization explained that the returned Palpatine transmitted his conciousness over to a clone at time of death in ROTJ. Shame that wasn't explained in the actual film.
