    Heh, I like that the table is a TIE fighter wing.

    I liked that, though. They managed to fit a good amount of material into the short runtime. It feels like it needs to stretch its legs a bit, but its definitely got potential to be a very cool and insightful series.

    I'm watching it right now and it's already making me laugh. I can't wait to see what's next for the show.

    I am still confused about StarWars.com's obsession over Kitster.

    I kinda liked it. Maybe we will end up seeing or hearing about him in a book?

    That was some pretty good stuff. I've always liked Andi, so that helped. This has some potential.

    Most impressive indeed.

    That was Anakin's childhood buddy in The Phantom Menace. I think Leia actually met him in Legends EU. Tatooine Ghosts I believe?

    I was a fan of the Episode one being controversial joke. I definitely laughed at that one.

    So I think the interviews are the weak point right now. Both kinda meander and it's very clear both hosts aren't experienced enough for that part. Or they just haven't nailed the writing yet and the hosts don't have much to work with. [face_dunno]

    But hey! If they have more reveals like that Ciena Ree pic then who cares if half the show is lacklustre. :p

    Ehhhhhhh after two episodes it seems this show is trying to appeal to a general audience rather than the fans. I mean it's more time interviewing bands and making jokes than showing us some actual cool star wars stuff. I mean they spend like four of the seven minute runtime interviewing a band on how they like star wars (WE ALL LIKE STAR WARS THAT'S WHY WE'RE WATCHING THIS SHOW) and we get a twenty second segment on canonising Ciena's physical look. Plus it seemed liked the show also tried appealing to the horny guys out there with-Daisey Ridley in a sports bra!

    Regarding the interviews, it's a combination of weak writing, inexperienced hosts and a lack of editing. The celebrity fans are fun, but they need people with stronger links to the franchise too. Their budget will increase if the show gets enough views.

    That Ciena art is glorious though. Vidian next please!

    I don't know what to make of it - I think it would've made more sense if it offered behind the scenes Q&A, concept art and trivia about Star Wars or other Lucasfilm properties - maybe like an extended version of Rebels recon or like Talking Dead.

    Well it's still treading water, so I'm sure they'll mix things up as they go along, and keep stuff that gets the most positive reception.

    I actually liked the "Everything is important!" section with Kister, I always think he's so random that talking about him makes it kind of funnier. Would like more of those bits. As for the 2nd episode, I did like that Anton Yelchin was shamelessly shilling to get in a Star Wars movie, I would think him and the director of Green Room were probably at Skywalker Sound for a mix and the star wars show youtube guys were just like "hey, can you riff for 30 seconds about Star Wars?"

    Also Andi Gutizerrz is really pretty and fairly quippy so I'm totally okay with more of these. also I kind of hope they work in a running gag of Dave Filoni being the annoyed next door neighbour, banging on his office wall wanting those kids to keep it down.
