I have about the same feeling as above -- the only Star Wars TV I've ever seen was Andor, and while the plot was pretty comprehensible, they weren't so good at filling in the background for newbies so there wasn't a lot of emotional stakes. I gotta admit I loved Sabine I do not have a bad girl thing and I'm really happy about those five major actresses. I have no real idea who Ezra is and I'm not happy Sabine and Ahsoka's relationship took place offscreen from what I can see? but maybe there'll be flashbacks. Or fic! I also hope Thrawn doesn't show up for a while because he appears to have the kind of makeup job that immediately throws me out of a live-action show.

The main problem I had with the pacing. Like Ahsoka herself it was very deliberate and slow and not that engaging. I've loved Dawson in other things and especially in Defenders she had a great wryness along with drive and heroism, so it feels like she's being kind of tamped down.
