Part Three: Time to Fly

Packed with action, yet surprisingly unengaging. It's perplexing how originality seems lacking, resorting to rehashed and predictable drama, dated fighter designs (propeler needed for WWII), and recycled music from the OT. The predictability is overwhelming. Moreover, Wonder Woman's agenda feels monotonous, not inherently problematic, but blatant enough. The music is impeccably crafted but lacks depth - a soulless perfection. Unlike "Andor," where music carries essence. Slightly better experience in the initial two episodes.

Overall not bad, far better than three ST but not perfect as Andor...

This isn't animation and if you're only giving us 8 episodes, each should be 1 hour in length! Space battles are nice, but there's not much substance there.

The start of the episode was slow, but picked up a little and gave us more details and story building.

There could have been a bit more detail provided outside the space battle. That time was wasted on what we have already seen in Star Wars for many years.

The story was very thin however and stretched out a bit, and could have given us more substance and less fluff. More story driven scenes that promote the character development and less lasers.

The ending is abrupt and felt awkward.

Part three felt like a belated introduction on characters such as Mon Montha, Heda's son and the rest of the senate, which creates quite a large cast of villians and allies that had little to none significant action so far. Maybe this will lead to more drama and deaths later on. Adding the training for Sabine makes this episode an obvious personal development filler. Still it is hopeful that a filler contains both well executed references to older movies and series, and has a quite memorable surprise ending with great cinematics.

Adding the end-music makes this the series closest to the Mandalorian, but it is near impossible to live up to their main characters. Perhaps some non-introduced ones will do so.

The episode firstly is good, there is some good content in here but I fear we have hit the usual Disney formula after the first 2 episodes finally strayed from it.

30 minutes is to short, why not make 5 hour long episodes that cut the filler and dragged out scenes and put together all the good stuff I'll never know.

We got in this episode IN MY OPINION, a chase scene that was too long, and a training scene that was also very slow, other than that not much push forward, I'm not asking for bang bang action every 2 seconds but a story with stakes is what's needed, there are no intense emotions with this show so far, 7/10.

I think I'm more confused at the rating of the show, than the show itself.

Anything that's rating over an 8, is clearly bought and paid for by Disney. This show does not YET reach an 8.... I hope it can get there. Realistically, I think its between a 6-7 (at best).

I think for all the hype this has had, it's been rather slow and predictable. Paying homage to Star Wars is one thing, but lifting lines, and scenes from it, felt less like a tribute and more like a struggle for ideas.

To leave the review on a good note, visually the show looks pretty good. But fans will always take a good story over great visuals. I hope in the end the larger story will bring it all back together.
