I thought i'd start a thread for the new Star Wars live action TV series.

Publicised as Goonies in Space, it looks like fun. I haven't seen it, but reviews suggest that it isn't bad at all. Has anyone seen it?
 
I've watched the first three episodes. It's not bad, but I also wouldn't call it good. Basically it comes down for me that it is clearly designed for the 8-12 year-old audience. There are some major holes in the set up, which I suppose could be fixed in the following episodes but I don't expect it. If you are a serious Star Wars fan, I suspect that you'll find yourself longing for almost any of the other Star Wars spin-offs. It reminds me more of Peter Pan than the Goonies.

I don't know if I should feel insulted, because I really like it! It's definitely playing the 80's nostalgia card hard, but like Stranger Things it's succeeding in doing that, where something like Super 8 didn't. It's not quite on the same level as Stranger Things (and skews more to a younger audience) but I've found it really enjoyable so far.

I think we've watched about 3 or 4 episodes so far, but we're enjoying it. My daughter is 14 and she likes it, and my husband and I are both children of the 80's. We're enjoying the overall nostalgic feel of the show but with today's effects and visual quality. :giggle:
 
I binged watched this on the weekend. I thought it was good entertainment. I am not a huge Star Wars fan. I enjoyed the movies, and the Mandalorian. Didn't like Andor or the Acolyte.
 
Still on my "to watch" list (along with season 1 and 2 of The Mandalorian, Ob-Wan and The Acolyte). I really enjoyed Andor but thought that there was too much nonsense in Ahsoka to be a good show. A shame, as i really wanted to like this.
 
Finished Episode six of eight, and my opinion remains unchanged. Not bad, but definitely aimed at pre-teens or maybe younger. I still think Peter Pan is pretty fair guide to the level of intensity in this series.
