Watched the finale and enjoyed it. Good outcome for all involved.

Really great finale, great acting, nice story beats, good music, epic cinematography and a storyline thats finished. 10/10 (andor of course is still better)

Yeah the ending was disappointing, although I can't articulate why.

Why did Jude Law look so gaunt under the bright light? It was like a different person.

I feel like they missed out on a grand "Wizard of Oz" type reveal with the Supervisor. For all the action in that room and then with the pirates, it felt strangely devoid of a sense of stakes, threat, or even tension. The single pirate ship suddenly seemed so small, was this ENTIRE PLANET so defenseless that a single squad of Alliance was all it took (and they got there so fast, WTF?) to clear them out?

My kid is already asking about a season 2 though, hope it gets one, and fast enough that the girls don't turn into women and Wim grows 2 feet and turns lanky in the interim. I like the kid aspect but if they don't jump on it quick it will feel artificial like the later Stranger Things seasons or they will have to transition to a young adult storyline and that can be really hit or miss 'cause they seem to be intimating the two girls being a thing and that would only get worse as they age.

Anyone watch the art stills at the end? They seemed to maybe depict Jods upbringing, perhaps? A lot of jedi looking stuff in there, I need to watch it again to see if they are just random scenes or telling a story.

Oh come on now, an entire planet being completely defined by basically one city and maybe a few outlying outposts/small towns, that’s what Star Wars has always been about!

Ehh looks like it's mostly well liked here. I kind of hated it lol.
Even watching while exercising I thought it was boring and made for kids.

So the target audience of Star Wars then.

Maybe Star Wars target was for 12 but they messed up and made it enjoyable for adults. This show, I did not like much about it as an adult. That's just my take. I liked Stranger Things, but not these annoying brats.

FWIW I think there is enough there for adults to be enjoyable. Much like Goonies, the story is clearly framed from a kids point of view, but the overall story, sense of wanderlust, the friendship amongst the kids, the paternalistic(ish) attitude of Jod, these are things I think we can all enjoy, or at least parents can. I'm kinda glad it lacks any big flashy "this is STAR WARS" stuff like having Mando show up or a bunch of Luke Skywalker references because this feels like how they COULD do Star Wars going forward, just solid stories with a sci-fi back drop. Doesn't have to ALWAYS be about Sith trying to rule everything.

Next to Andor, the best Star Wars series. Had a surprising amount of fun with it.
