Can't Say I Remember No At Attin

This feels like an episode that should have been 15min longer or even been split into two. Everything is rushed. Whoosh to a planet, whoosh meet new characters, whoosh issue solved, whoosh to the tower, whoosh mystery grows. I also feel like our beloved leads got a tiny bit of growth when we should have taken our time and grow them even more.

At the end of the day this was still good. The mystery of the show grows and it is clear that a couple of weird things is afoot. And although I think the episode was too rushed and very linear (almost a short game play), the target audience i.e. Kids probably like this a lot more than I do.

Weakest episode so far, but this is still good and the acting and the growing mystery keep me intrigued. This is the best Star Wars has done since Rouge 1. Although I liked Ashoka and a few things about the Mandelorian, this feels better and much more fun to watch.

A weak 7/10.

Dialogue was very clumsy - introduction to a planet and resolution in 30 minutes is not enough time to properly flesh out a story, as a result it just comes across very cheesy and forced. This was a really poor episode, I hope the following episodes are either long or spend more than one episode at a given location. The ending was really weak as well, no cliff hanger just an abrupt finish to the episode. Let's hope the rest of the series is better. The first 3 episodes started off strong.

Now I'm just filling up space to reach the pointless six hundred character limit. Ring a ring a roses a pocket full of...

Oh the Daniels... fully expected this episode to have at least two characters launching into the air in a fury of fists, but got a world at war. Feels about right.

Neel takes center stage in this one and show just how wonderfully sweet he is. You gotta love his little humble tenacity.

I finally realized this episode that this show isn't only a love letter to childhood, it's a love letter for parenting. Every parent can relate to knowing you are pulling all the strings and carrying all the weight, but letting the kids feel like THEY are in charge. This is their adventure. And yet the parent gets that wonderful seat of humbly knowing "yeah I did that" and not getting or needing any credit for it. You know you are the rock from which they can launch into life.

Anyone else start getting Bioshock "would you kindly" vibes from SM-33's "Can't say I remember no At Attin".

We have never seen children fight in this galaxy, but as soon as children are the protagonists, we meet a society who wants them to fight.

That is, in my humble opinion, a pretty lazy way to let children in on the classic Star Wars battle action.

...well, almost, because then, they didn't even follow through with it. All the setup about the two factions, for nothing?

Last episode, there was this weird moment when the children rejoiced over hitting enemy crafts shooting at them. Shouldn't they be at least a little bit terrified by these life-threatening events?

My point: I'm not sure this mix will work, in the long run. Sometimes they are scared kids - as they should be -, sometimes they look like they're gonna "Han Solo" their way through the galaxy.

Besides that, I liked the first three episodes, but this one was stretched out, rather pointless and boring.

Episode 4 takes a more introspective turn, focusing on character development over action. Neel stands out as the philosophical heart of the group, delivering moments of deep reflection that add emotional weight to the story. This emphasis on introspection showcases the series' potential for mature storytelling, but it comes at the cost of pacing and the sense of wonder that defined the earlier episodes.

The episode feels less like Star Wars and more like a standard fantasy tale, with its connection to the iconic galaxy far, far away growing tenuous. The vibrant energy and magical charm of the first three episodes are noticeably absent, leaving the narrative feeling somewhat flat. While Neel's standout performance offers meaningful depth, the episode ultimately struggles to engage, making it the weakest of the series so far. Though there's value in its introspective approach, it risks losing the core magic that defines Star Wars.
