I liked it and can’t wait to see more. Which is more than I can say about the first two episodes of Boba Fett.

That’s funny because I told my sister I literally hate her and she said I’m alone on that. Probably the case. She was like anakin + escort mission video game character levels of annoying for me.
I like the show so far. Felt like Star Wars. I liked uncle Owen and the cute Jawa. I’m not a big Obi Wan fan but he feels in character to me and I was enjoying watching him be grumpy and useless on Tattooine. Main bad guy is ok. Writing around her was pretty bad. Her screen partner basically just said out loud her characterization and motivations: “You are reckless!” “You only care about catching obi wan kenobi!” “You are from a poor background and feel inferior!” Much writing, very subtle.

And the second episode. I love her. She is my favorite thing about the series so far. She is a 10 year old and the child of Anakin and Padme’. Of course she is going to be wild and bossy. It’s perfect and I love it.

Overall I am loving this series so far. I am too tired to formulate more than that at the moment.

Leia is definitely my favorite part. I told H that I would not have forced her to apologize to her cousin. He's a little jerkwad who needed to be brought down to size.

So this is where I needed to find the discussion on this show.
Love little Leia.
Ewan is a favorite of mine so nothing is going to stop me from loving this. He’s on my “list”

I really enjoyed the first two episodes! Looking forward to the rest of the series. The actress playing Leia is doing a fantastic job. I was pleasantly surprised by the Grand Inquisitor - I felt like he did well with what Jason Isaacs established, but stood on his own. I am reserving judgement on Reva's character because it's only been two episodes, but agree the writing with her has been less than stellar. However, the hate that Moses Ingram herself is getting right now is ridiculous. Also, bold move having Reva stab the Grand Inquisitor with her saber. But since he's in Rebels, I'm guessing he's going to be fine (I doubt Dave Filoni wants to retcon something that big...) Really interested to see how that plays out, assuming he survives.

I am really enjoying this despite 1) my hating 97% of all child actors - including little Leia, sorry not sorry - and 2) so much of the plot not making any sense.
At first when the Inquisitors showed up on Tatooine, I was like "huh, the Inquisitors must not know who Darth Vader really is or his background, but I guess that makes sense" and then she broke the news to Obi Wan saying "Anakin Skywalker is still alive" and then I was like "wait a second..."
Runner-up wtf moment was when Obi-Wan asked Leia how old she is...sir.

Episode 3 spoilers below {Spoiler} That said, I love Jimmy Smits always and James Earl Jones' voice coming back (and Ewan of course).
I also like the direction I think they're headed with Reva after episode 3.

I feel like Obi-Wan and Vader should not have a confrontation like this. In the original, Vader is all "last time we met, I was but a learner." He feels much more like his full fledged Vader self in this.

Finally watching this! I’m convinced they picked the wrong kid to be the Jedi. This is more proof that the women in the Skywalker family were the basasses.

Runner-up wtf moment was when Obi-Wan asked Leia how old she is...sir. She was totally wise beyond her years. (Almost sounded like Yoda with proper English!) Also, I question my son’s age all the time. But he’s so literal, he’s like “I’m 5, you know that!”

I hate Third Sister. The actress is phenomenal. That said, I still hate how this appears to mess up the previously established canon continuity. And poor Lola! She's been through so much.

I feel a bit broken. I am not really enjoying the show that much. Little Leia is a delight, and some of the other characters are compelling, but overall I'm meh.
I did like how Obi-Wan was able to escape though.

Who's watched the finale? Watching it now, jotting down thoughts: {Spoiler} -The Obi-Wan/Vader fight is pretty epic. That final convo... wow. -Ewan can still get it (sorrynotsorry) -Reva's arc was great, but the writing was a little sloppy. Moses Ingram was fantastic, though. -His speech to Leia about her parents... so sweet. -HE SAID THE THING -QUI-GON MOTHERFUCKING JINN
I can see how they left the door open for a second season, but honestly, I'm not sure it's needed.

Overall, I was kind of meh on the whole thing. Perhaps because the prequels were never my thing.
I did enjoy the tweets tho.

He's moving beyond the Dune Sea to where he is in the beginning of a New Hope. I feel like calling Leia's fearlessness from just Anakin was a little bit of an insult to Padme, but it was nice.

I agree with those who said tiny Leia is the highlight. The rest is moderately entertaining, which is as much as I can say about most Star Wars other than the original trilogy.
