I watched 3 episodes, it has spaceships, you got aliens, etc. but it didn't feel to be a part of the Star Wars universe. Characters are just stuck in a single place despise of a whole galaxy around it, no big story behind and the chemistry between characters were really bad. The dialogues are fast paced, which makes the characters looks silly and hard to establish a bond.
About the art, I don't like the 3d cell shading art style, but I can survive it. But the story and characters were pretty boring and dumb. I couldn't feel any big plot running on the background of the the episodes (maybe because the new movies/canon story sucks). Even on the movies or on this new serie, I really can't feel any threat from the First Order, they don't give any element to feel the "horror" that the first Order can be. And the characters really doesn't seem to have any motivation to fight against it. The story seems that same thing that happened with Solo, with a guy that want to become the "best pilot"(boring..).
The overall story really lacks the magic, the lore and mystery that real star wars movies and series had on it. The moments that could shiver your body and make you think for hours. It lacks humanity on the characters and the construction of the real "heroes journey" on the plot.
Some people can say "it's a show for kids", but it doesn't have any elements for a small kids show to justify it, and even shows meant for kids have many good stuff that the whole family can enjoy, like Toy Story, Cars, etc. Therefore, if someone say "it's a kid show", I can tell you, it's just an excuse for bad writing. And that's the real problem with this show, bad plot, bad writing, bad character development. Feels like Disney purchased a super big franchise and don't know what to do with it, they don't know their own product and audience.
The thumbs down on the trailers were really true, I don't recommend to waste your time on this and just wait for the new season of Clone Wars that are coming.
