I think I said something similar, to me it's rather over-rated. It is good, but it's not great by any means, very simple and I believe aimed at a very broad audience that includes young children perhaps. It is very well done, well presented and all, I think I'm not a big enough Star Wars fan to appreciate it like some do though
If you had a scale of star wars fan, 1 being someone totally uninterested and 10 being someone who is totally conversant with all SW media, i'd be about 7/8, my sons middle nam
I have found both seasons while entertaining, overall decidedly average, there have been a few poor episodes but mostly watchable with a handful of standout moments. It does as you say, have massively broad appeal and I think it suffers for it. The writing is basic, it's very much mission of the week as
@shadow_boxer said and there is only slight character development.
What it does remarkably well however is remind me of the Star Wars I grew up with and loved, the original trilogy, it absolute nails the feel of those movies. The effects are superb, the action entertaining, it's just the actual writing which suffers somewhat.
I honestly believe, if not for the massive backlash around Eps 7,8,9 and Solo, it wouldn't be so well loved. It's only because the majority of the new Star Wars movies were so incredibly poor, this seems so good by comparison.
