I thought it was intriguing, and slower than I anticipated until the very end. Seems like a middle ground in tone/pacing to the other Mando-verse shows and Andor. I didn't see a post here so I figured, why not?

I'll be back tomorrow after I sleep to chat more.

I thought the pacing was good. I want more slow burns like Andor and Mandalorian, and I think Filoni knows what he's doing with his beloved characters.

People lauded Andor for its lightsaber-free action, and I get it, but I felt like this handled it really well too. Ashoka got to flex on some trivial droids, dark Jedi show how absolutely terrifying force users are to everyday soldiers, and we got a battle of apprentices that actually felt like two apprentices going through the forms they learned and really hoping their (probably) first combat against another actual Force user ends in their favor.

I loved seeing more of the New Republic, with their ships and uniforms. I loved seeing the ancient temple. They claimed it was Dathomiri but I got series Zeffo vibes from Jedi: Fallen Order. I loved seeing a live action Hera, Sabine and Huyang, and their respective actors did a fantastic job. Overall, a strong first episode; I just hope they finish as strong as they started.

I literally joked "here, we find Ahsoka midway through a Fallen Order level" to my roommate when we watched it.
