This is much closer to Andor and Mandalorian than those two piles of crap. And even as someone who's unfamiliar with the Rebels canon, I find it entertaining.
Disney needs to understand at this point that they can't coast on the IP. They HAVE to make a quality product.

I’m probably less hard on Obi-Wan and Fett. I seem to be able to put aside the dogshit and appreciate the good parts.
That being said Andor is almost unassailable. This isn’t that. And I think it probably is better than the other 2 but it has yet to have a scene equivalent to the Vader ObiWan fight, which was pretty well done IMO.
This has a few problems. 1. I think it needs some editing. I’m not a Nazi for pacing, but goddamn. 6 minutes in the ****ing temple turning shit? Duuuuuude.
2. Ahsoka in Clone Wars and Rebels moved fast and was upbeat. I get that this is the older version of Ahsoka, but other than her head things there aren’t a ton of similarities to the established properties. And I don’t think it’s Dawson. I think she’s pretty good. Hell she was pretty good in Mando, but she wasn’t ever the wise stoic.
3. To my knowledge this is the first I’ve heard of Ahsoka training Sabine. Maybe take 3 of those minutes in the temple and let us catch up. I mean it wasn’t hard to understand, but it didn’t really fit a flow either.
4. I think it’s just a little too big for its britches with the stoicism part. Both with Ahsoka and Sabine. In the cartoons they tackled some heavy ass shit, but they didn’t make the characters boring and lifeless.
Hopefully it comes around, and I think it’s doing a lot right, but it’s certainly not Andor.
