Badly written, poorly directed, not coherent or very logical and apparently not for people older than 14. The actors (except for Ezra and Baylan) are unbearable. A lot of "Tell, don't show". A lot of crossed arms and smirky facial expressions.

A plot that was torturously drawn out and had hardly any consequences for our heroes in the end (why is thrawn so dangerous again?)

Special effects, music and cinematography are not bad in parts, but "The Volume" makes everything seem extremely constricted. A lot of bad action scenes and very little tension.

Star Wars is pretty much done outside the world of uncritical hardcore fans.

The penultimate episode of the first season advanced the plot almost not at all.

Dave Filoni seems to think he can set Thrawn up as a villain and merciless tactician simply by claiming he is. Nothing he says or does is clever. I had to roll my eyes several times during his monologues.

The constant name dropping and winking at familiar characters is just annoying at this point.

The "cargo transport" is an artificial means to somehow justify Thrawn having to deal with our heroes at all, instead of just leaving the planet.

And what was Sabine's plan when she was just chilling with Ezra and his nomades instead of somehow finding her way back to her only way home?

This series is written for kids and is only worthwhile for hardcore fans who like to wallow in nostalgia on a weekly basis.
