What a wonderful surprise - this show is quite good (the first two episodes so far).
I had heard some grumblings and mixed reviews. But this is good Star Wars. Much better than Kenobi, for example, or Ahsoka, which I still liked despite its weaknesses. And much better than almost all of the recent movies, which have been poor Star Wars and plain poor storytelling.
This show Is a fresh take on Star Wars, but nevertheless stays true to "real" Star Wars. It's set 100 years before A New Hope. But it's got the classic Star Wars elements I love - heroic and super-competent Jedi, a great villain, new tech and aliens, a mystery to start off with, etc.
As far as one-on-one fight scenes, Marvel's Agents of Shield finally made me lose patience with those - I usually fast forward through them now. But in this show they were so well done and integrated into the story and its stakes that I enjoyed them.
