Show kind of got off to a slow start with some odd choices.

But I am loving where it's going.

Great to see Yoda and a lightsaber whip, Mae (or was it Osha?) picking up a lightsaber.

Interested to see who Darth Helmet ends up being. But also imagine there is still yet a master to be unleashed (much like in the prequels it took three movies for the jedi to understand)

Darth helmet is 100% the apothecary. Don't hate me when it's true.

I think Darth Bortles is the most likely answer and that the real twist is that he is just the apprentice/trying to convert OSHA NOT MAE. That's my expectation of the finale. Qimir asking Osha to join him to defeat Mr Older Wiser Sith Master.

The only live-action star wars show I've stopped watching, I realised almost immediately that it's shit but forced myself through two episodes before I couldn't do it anymore. Absolute crap.

I understand. I suggest giving it another chance when it’s finished and you can binge it. I suspect as a complete product it will be better than individual episodes.

Do they not trust that we can remember it's Star Wars without trotting out the same tired characters?

After rewarxhing the trailer its on ofe those DARTH TRAILER abomination. I don't actually think Yoda will appear in the show. I think his likeness is cut from one of the sequel films.

Lol, I didn't watch the video but it's from a clickbait/spam channel.

That '... and you killed Kelnacca' line sounded a bit crowbarred in to me. Not sure if they even used the same actor for it.

I'm not convinced by the Darth Bortles theory (it's a fun idea, I just don't think the physiques match). More likely for the master to be one of the witches. They should have it be Abigail Thorn, just to watch the internet explode.

They often cut lines together in trailers that aren’t said together in the actual show/movie.
