SEASON 1 REVIEW: Simple, sweet, and fun.. but not for everyone.
With the Ahsoka series on the way, and only having seen some of this show way back when it was airing, I decided to give it a shot. The verdict: Season 1 is simple and sweet.
Through the eyes of the lead character Ezra Bridger, it introduces you to the Ghost Crew as you follow their small-scale rebel antics.
There seemed to be two reasons people were turned off by this show. #1 being that it's a completely original cast and #2 being that it's very clearly directed at kids.
The first of these I take no issue with. I love everything about the Ghost crew. How couldn't you? A grown Padawan, kickass Mandalorian who escaped the Imperial Academy, hot-headed Lasat with a big heart, and a confident captain/group mother-figure. Not to forget Chopper - the funniest droid in all of Star Wars.
Also, the formerly mentioned Ezra is easy to relate to for further immersion. His dynamic with the other cast is what makes the show work so well. Being trained by Kanan, crushing on Sabine, brotherly fighting/bonding with Zeb, etc.
This is a group of unique individuals each with a dark past thanks to the empire, and having groups like this makes the rebels feel like real, affected people. I feel this world-building is enough to justify the show's existence.
I love the concept, and it may just the nostalgia speaking, but when the characters are doing their thing on the Ghost, I feel at home just as much as they do.
As for the child-directed nature, at times the plot can seem simple, silly, and filler-like. To be fair, even though it makes the start of the show pretty slow, it's there early on to get the audience used to the characters. With this in mind, I don't mind it too much.
I would argue that many arcs in The Clone Wars are equally slow and kiddy-feeling. Plus, it's absolutely enjoyable for an older audience, unlike some kid shows.
Either way, the season progresses and is more interesting and serious by episode 8. Thus, you can skip the earlier stuff if you really don't care for the simpler bottle episodes.
As the plot thickens, the antagonists become more important. Truth is, the villains are hit or miss. The Grand Inquisitor is much better here than in Obi-Wan. Him vs Kanan is always a highlight. Tarkin coming in also adds some needed tension to the final episodes. Meanwhile, every other villain is boring and the Stormtroopers are dumber than usual.
The show also has many cool cameos. These don't happen too often and are usually a pleasant surprise like with Billy Dee Williams returning as Lando or Yoda speaking to Kanan.
Ultimately, I can't deny this show isn't for everyone. However, if you open yourself up to a smaller story that is still very interwoven in Star Wars canon, you may be surprised by its charm, references, and lore-building as it hints toward a bigger future.
