I actually like the trailer. Sure seems like a kid's adventure. But at least it's an adventure. Not had that in a long while from Star Wars.

so it's basically the goonies... in space?

^ Yeah looks like. With a bit of Jedi in the mix.

I don't mind it. Do we know when this is set?

^ Mandalorian era I think. Which just means more Jedi who can't survive to the sequels 😂

Oh I see, I thought it was set before the prequels. Well maybe that guy is just an untrained force user, like Rieve from Star Wars: Hunters

Still that's true, EP VII kinda killed lots of potential storylines and characters because at the end of the day you know they must all be gone somehow by 34 ABY. Hope it gets retconned somehow

^ They'll have to all go to that planet where Cal is hiding. Except they get marooned there for decades 🙂

Fair point that Jude Law's character might not be a Jedi.

Yes, or end up in Thrawn's galaxy

New trailer.

Actually looks really fun.

yeah it does

So you watching it?

^ Yup I'm caught up. Loving it tbh. Like Goonies meets classic Star Wars. Love the whole Pirate with the Force thing Jod/Jack has going on. And not had this feeling of Adventure from Disney Star Wars since the first season of Rebels.

Just hate the short episode format week by week. Might binge like the last 4 together or something. Won't watch less than two at a time.

Agreed tbh, it’s a well made series

Neel is adorable.

I love this show and I think it's the third best Disney Star Wars production behind it's best, which is Rogue One, followed by Andor and equal to or slightly better than the first season of The Mandalorian. It has a perfect adventurous feel to it and hopefully the franchise can us this to slowly build itself back up and out of the horrendous narrative quagmire that is the Disney Sequel Trilogy.

Yeah, it’s a shame a lot of people will skip it cuz it’s for kids

It's a very entertaining series with a lot of surprising mystery. This is Star Wars starring kids done right (for kids done wrong - I'm still looking at you, Phantom Menace.) And props for Easter eggs in the first episode that only the most hardcore Star Wars fan would recognize (hint: they are related to the original, unaltered version of A New Hope, AND the Star Wars Holiday Special!)

Watched the first two, I do like it thus far. Definitely has a Goonies-In-Space feel as others noted. Here's hoping it doesn't turn to complete shit.

So the series is over. I thought Nawood would have been revealed to be a youngling who survived Order 66, but he was actually found and trained after it, until his master was found and killed.

Anyway I think it was pretty solid, hope they renew it for another season, even though I heard many people didn’t watch it. Maybe, when they’ll hear how good the series is, they will give it a try

Nawood was a good villain and character overall

^ Didnt quite like how he was the main baddy. Would have preferred a redeemable quality to him, which to be fair they kinda hinted at, in the sense that he could have pirated At-Attin easily if he just killed the kids and their parents. But still he was a fun character and would have liked the kids redeeming him into a not so bad pirate.

Still enjoyable adventure series regardless. Most sense of adventure/fun Ive seen from Star Wars since the first season of Rebels.

The kids were fine in TPM. It was Jar Jar who made parts of the film too kiddish.

I believe Lucas draft for Episode 7 had young kids but Disney threw them out because they were all paranoid about a repeat of TPM. They instead thought a complete rehash of the OT would make a much better ST facepalm

I personally think kids were the way to go for the sequels. I mean its not like Lucas was directing them.

A Harry Potter style Jedi Academy story/adventure where Luke is the Dumbledore would have been epic Imo. Even if it ended up being slightly kiddish for me, I would have appreciated them going forward and expanding the Universe that way.
