The whole season is gonna be about 5 hours long
8 episodes, about 40 minutes each, that makes 320 minutes. A bit more of 5 hours. It's almost a mini-series.
It seems it's gonna be good... but short.
I kind of like the atmosphere of the show something they couldn't reproduce in the sequel movies this does feel like Star Wars.
The first chapter episode plot is somewhat weak but I'm looking forward to the rest of it.
