My optimism reached it's limit with this series, lol.
The only thing I'm even mildly curious to see at this point is the First Order stuff, because we know so little about them. Aside from that, I couldn't care less about this trainwreck of a series.

The FO kinda lost all appeal to me when they turned Hux into a joke along with Capt Phasma. Among other stuff.....I am curious though as to how big it is.
I agree. Both Clone Wars and Rebels got better as they went along.
Though I haven't been watching this show the last episode I saw was the one where that douche bag kid stole the Corellian hyperfuel for his ship. The more First Order we get the more interesting this show will get so I suspect the 2nd season to show more of the Order.

Not that I condone watching this show, but it has given us a bit more information about the First Order.
According to the data rod that Kaz stole from them, we now know for sure that the FO's military outnumbered the New Republic's military, even before the destruction of the Hosnian system: (please log in to view the image) (please log in to view the image) (please log in to view the image)
*And based on that holo image, it looks like the FO fleets were positioned in such a way that they could essentially blitzkrieg the entire galaxy from every angle, all at once. IOW, there is vastly more to this invasion(as a whole) than what we've been shown on screen thus far.
It was further revealed that the FO had "cored-out" multiple planets(and absorbed at least 1 star) in preparation for their invasion of the galaxy in TFA: (please log in to view the image) (please log in to view the image) (please log in to view the image) (please log in to view the image)
*Also note that ep.16 is set like a day before the events of TFA.

I figured it would connect to the film, only because part of Hux's "BOW TO THE FIRST ORDAH!!!" speech was shown in the mid-season trailer.
But yeah, next season will obviously have to cover the TLJ period as well, given that there are only like a few days between films... I'd guess the show will depict the full scale of the First Order's invasion of the galaxy.

You're right. That could be a means for Ezra(and perhaps even Thrawn) to randomly appear again -- Filoni IS still involved with Resistance, after all. Aside from that, the Unknown Regions are definitely playing a HUGE role in SW lore these days.

So just re-hashing what we kinda already know or what we could put together, just in visual format? But I mean, how is the show so far? Is it better than what it was by much?
As of now, it's basically just a rehash of what we already know happened in TFA, just from a different perspective.
What the show has visually shown us, though, is that the FO's invasion of the galaxy isn't as localized as the films make it seem -- it is truly a galaxy-wide conquest that is happening simultaneously along several fronts all across the galaxy. That might also explain why the Knights of Ren and Commander Pyre have been inextricably absent from the films thus far. We also got a bit of depth on Starkiller Base, which was cool.
But aside from the FO stuff, the show is still extremely lackluster.

Well I mean I'm sure anyone could have figured that the FO invasion wasn't really localized. Although this whole war apparently between the FO and Resistance taking place over a year + couple of days certainly seems like it.
I still can't get over the fact that, that will be the timeline. 1 whole year and some days..
Still, that kinda sucks.
