There’s plenty of cheesy in this.
Another sacred token which is a bit of a map leading to the only person we need to resolve the story.
I did like the beginning when Baylen was tearing through the ship striking dudes down with is saber and the force. Very Vader-esque.
My one minor complaint is, I swear they made it so you could actually understand what Chopper was saying. Like I heard words in there. It wasn't like that in Rebels.

Where have we seen that before?
Cheesy but in the wrong way.
Not like Boba Fett or last season of Mando. Dumb jokes about Jawas being hairy, Jack Black and Lizzo appearing in an episode, etc. were all distracting from the shows. Also better acting in this. Pedro basically phoned in the voiceover work in Mandalorian, it was terrible. After two episodes of this, and rewatching Andor, I'm even more irritated on how bad the last season of Mandalorian was.

Think that might just be you
They nailed chop in this. He’s brilliant
Even Ahsoka giving him a wry smile at the end.
Chop rules!

Ruddo is spot on here. The eventual reveal/threat of Thrawn would really lose its weight if it was surrounded by too much slapstick and silliness.

They with fuck around there.
But he has his own warped sense of humour too don’t forget.
Real life derailed me this morning so I haven't had the time/desire to post about the show. But I did watch both episode last night. And I loved what I saw, overall. Some flaws, to be sure. But I a great start.
I'll post more thoughts down the line once I can get my head into it.

I feel like Ahsoka feels old and slow and boring. And she IS old, so I don't know how to fix that. She was a fun character because she was young and crazy and energetic.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?
