I hate they painted Mary Elizabeth Winstead green (like Zoe Zaldana). She is a natural beauty. Lucky Ewan McGregor! Ironic both Husband and Wife are in separate Star Wars Series.

No choice in the green option, the character she is portraying already existed in the Star Wars Universe, Hera Syndulla from Star Wars Rebels, which this show looks to be a sequel to-

Looks like Iger is putting the squeeze on...

Can't wait for this show.

Can't wait for this show.

Having seeing the previews, I can't concur. Looks like "stretch" show.

I'll watch it. What the heck, it's new content and if the WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike continues into September (which it looks like it will), there won't be any other new content (aside from reality shows - they don't count) until sometime in 2024. So yeah, I'll watch it...

I've seen a few of these images, hilarious but also kind of want to start down one of these paths too... I haven't watched any of the animated stuff.

I watched a few (4-5) of the suggested episodes to get the gist of what the series will be about. That ought to be enough...

Dang, that was 2 good episodes to start the series. Now comes the silly weekly release schedule.

I must resist the lure of watching it weekly.

But it is hard, I know that will lead to a path I do not wish to be on.

I will say I liked the

Spoiler: star wars nerd stuff

return of the opening screen scroll, like in the movies, to set the story

 

[Bruce]

I watched it, mad at myself for giving in, very much a Star Wars Rebels Live Action Series with Ashoka then a Ahsoka centric series, which I am fine with, good to see Chopper in Live Action.

Also another call back, Clancy Brown was portraying the same character he voiced in Rebels.

 

[long_time_DNC]

Enjoyed the opening 2 episodes a lot.

 

[Foxbat]

Overall, an enjoyable episode. I think this was talked about in the press as repeating a "Mandalorian" weakness of being too short, but this felt well-paced and had some good action.

Spoiler: Usual Star Wars feature

Nice to see the Empire's targeting systems haven't improved over the previous decade. The Turbo Lasers are just as (in)effective as the ones on the Death Star.

I like the 9pm ET (6pm PT) Release Window as I can watch it before going to bed instead of waking up early (or going to work late ) the next day.
