Show is bad due to writing not the wokeness


I am watching it and will finish watching it as it is watchable. But the "story" isn't the problem. It is the poor execution: dialogue, fight choreography, etc. I also understand that they are trying to appeal to a younger audience (grand children of the original Star Wars generation) and they have to make it childish.

If that's "watchable" than all you are saying you have as low standards as they can get.

Story is as big of a problem as everything else. We are in 3 episodes and the show already contradicted itself so hard it created a plot hole. A levitating dude (which is the only white actor Hmmm) apologized to his killer for... the killer burning down the temple? He literally died for no reason. There's few more of idiotic moments and i don't even mean campfire in space or flammable stone fortress.

This show is a mess. An expensive mess that shouldn't have been ever greenlit, or at very least not in this state.

Finally, last thing: it is woke. You might not mind, but i sure do. I dislike when hollywood tries to push its agenda as it isn't aligned with my upbringing. It's opposite in fact. I will however say it that beyond white man apologizing and killing himself, other man being a butt of the joke, or just generally ignored and few other tidbits, the show is still only "mildly woke"... They will jump the shark at some point. They always do.
