Well - it’s here! The first two episodes are on Disney+

Keen to hear what everyone’s thoughts are. Needless to say, there will be lots of spoilers in this discussion.

I really liked it. Felt like a solid continuation of Rebels, a bit slow at times, but overall a solid setup for what could be a very interesting and exciting series.

I feel like we should be able to guess the identity of the masked third Sith-esque villain. Don’t think it’s a fallen Ezra (too boring a plot line) but the stance and mannerisms seemed very familiar…

Also - great to see Kevin Kiner doing the music! Nice callback to some Rebels motifs here and there.

I would’ve liked to see Vanessa Marshall as Hera, I felt her voice was so uniquely matched. This Hera seems way too girly for a maternal older Hera. And where is her son?

Hoping for a Freddie Prinze Jr cameo.

Dave Filoni must be so happy to finally tell this story. Can’t wait to see what comes next!

    Agree that Hera is to youngish …. She is a general that has fought personally in a galactic war lost her partner and lots of friends and comrades: She should have been cast as more angular cynical and jaded. She is to happy to be there and to happy and upbeat. Unconvincing as a General ordering people around.

    Enjoyed the show, glad I watched Rebels before hand though!

    Did the new republic uniforms ( particularly the helmets ) look very underdone and flimsy to anyone else?

      Weeeeell she is a mum now, right? Raising a child can bring a lot of happiness to some people. I found her to be very convincing and comforting as a character. A general with mom energy isn’t so unconvincing imo.

      Honestly, I didn’t pay much attention to that. Will try to observe this in the next episode!
