    Hmmm I think my expectations were set incorrectly for this show. From the rumblings I heard before the premiere, it was on a similair level as Andor and was kind of a murder mystery thing. It is nothing like Andor (so far) and the murder ‘mystery’ was solved (at least for the viewers) at the end of the first episode. I was excited about the possibility of ‘Law & Order in space with Jedi’ since it seemed like a fresh genre for Star Wars but this…is more like ‘generic Star Wars plot line #45’. I plan to keep watching because the High Republic era is interesting, but the story has been bleh so far for me.

    Also weird that Carrie-Anne Moss figured so prominently in the hype & advertising just to be killed off in the first few minutes. If I was excited that she was in the show (I was ambivalent towards it myself) I would be super mad about that.

    I’m afraid Andor has ruined me when it comes to Star Wars media. :-/

      We won’t get something as good as Andor until we do. That is, you can’t plan on it. It will happen eventually, but Andor was a hard to match high water mark. (I also would have appreciated Acolyte more as a mystery.)
