The script is almost a parody of the original Star Wars, dismissive as it is of George Lucas lore (right down to the very meaning of the Force). The story makes little sense, what I can make of it anyway, and there are plot holes big enough to contain the Death Star itself.
The acting is downright laughable at times. I mean, I literally lol'd more than once when I'm pretty sure I wasn't supposed to ... or was I?
Then there's the production, which isn't even up to CW standards. I read that each episode cost as much as last year's "Godzilla Minus One". Where did that money go? Aside from a few pretty good fight scenes, the visual excitement we expect from a Star Wars installment is absent.
Maybe this is all part of the grieving process, and I am laughing to keep from crying. The Star Wars I loved back in the day has been destroyed, and replaced by something unrecognizable, ridiculous and frankly an insult. Not only to the legacy of George Lucas but to my intelligence.
