  • It really feels like Filoni is struggling to adapt to live action filmmaking. You would think someone from animation would direct more dynamically and with a tighter rhythm but everything is so glacially paced. Which I don’t normally mind but this is supposed to be action adventure. I can’t tell if it’s the studio demanding they squeeze more runtime out of this to justify the budget for streaming or if he’s just so in awe of seeing his characters come to life that he wants to linger on them forever.










  • This show has gone from D territory to C+ B- with this episode for me. It’s getting there but they’ve done a really bad job setting up the Ahsoka Sabine dynamic that is supposed to be at the center of the show, the fight choreography has been lackluster and I don’t really feel the stakes here. I watched all of Clone Wars and have been a longtime Rebels fan so I should be the target audience for this but I haven’t really been feeling it. Now, most Filoni shows have starred off wobbly and improved over time, the problem is this show only gets eight episodes to do it. Still, it’s gotten better and I hope that trend continues and we get a strong second half of the season.
