I thought it was intriguing, and slower than I anticipated until the very end. Seems like a middle ground in tone/pacing to the other Mando-verse shows and Andor. I didn't see a post here so I figured, why not?

I'll be back tomorrow after I sleep to chat more.

While I'm in the same boat as you regarding not having seen Clone Wars or Rebels, Star Wars has always referenced things that have happened off screen. Remember watching the original film before the prequels were announced? Everything they spoke about that had come before had to be imagined between you and your friends.

At least now, if we're intrigued about who people are, or past events, we've got a cartoon to go back and watch.

That being said, this show does feel a bit 'run of the mill' to me. Especially after the brilliance of Andor. But at least now there's something for everyone. I would be interested to see the ages of people who prefer Andor to show like Ahsoka. I have a feeling older people prefer the former. Although this is social media, so that means every exception to the rule will now appear in the comments, haha!
