If you are watching Star Wars Rebels on Disney+ this movie has now been rebranded as Episodes 1 & 2 of season 1 of the show. At first, I was confused when I went to log the show progress until I figured this out.

Who tf green-lit the Wookiee character models 😭

"First Jedi you've ever seen sir" 👢😄... Wasn't expecting it

The writing is pretty corny and a lot of the voice acting fails to make those lines work. The worst thing about a lot of the lines is they have a level of earnestness that felt entirely unearned. Still, the plot and story are pretty interesting, so this episode does make for some entertaining viewing nonetheless. The writing hasn't improved, but the plot is pretty interesting, and there's some solid (if clunkily written) character development here as well. Also, these Wookies are freaking ugly, I'm sorry. How do you get Wookies wrong?
