Is it worth waiting for the complete season before watching?
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

I think almost 40 mins is a perfect length.. After all we are only following 1 person, not 5-6 sub plots with various sub characters or even several main characters (like GoT). 40 mins makes sense. We did not get 38 mins of e.g John Snow per episode in GoT (or any of the other main chars).
Dude, I am not going to ... for example, drop over a friend's house and make/grab some popcorn or chips so we can watch 37 minutes of something. Seriously, it's got to be at least 2 episodes and even that is not enough for an afternoon Star Wars experience.

No it's clearly not that kind of show, this is similar to all the other star wars series, though they are way shorter (22-30 mins).
Well, if we have 2 or 3 episodes to watch, it's perfect, like when we watched the first 2. This is what I am proposing to others, watch them in pairs or 3 at a time.
First 2 episodes were very nice I thought (haven't watched further, saving them up). But the amount of fan servicing is out of this world The very first scene is a cantina scene, ffs
But, compared to for instance Solo, it somehow doesn't feel out of place here. Perhaps it's because there's no Star Wars score? The acting is pretty good too.
Anyways, as an original trilogy fanboy, this might finally be what I have been waiting for since Return of the Jedi.

its really no more fan servicing than having a saloon scene in a western though. it makes sense that the meet up is there, just like it makes sense in a western to have some scenes in a saloon. no one would argue "so they're having a saloon scene in this movie too - fan service!"
There's a few scenes i would say is a bit of FUN fan service, like Jabba the Hut-pet-creature roasting over a grill in a short scene. It's obvious that only fans will recognize these creatures. But it doesn't take away and it makes sense that not all creatures can be new, we should see familiar ones from time to time.
Great series but how the fuck did it cost them 120/140 million to do?
Locations, special fx (they use puppetry which is much more expensive than cgi is these days), a lot of expensive props (just guessing here) and overall high quality on most things (sound, visuals/cameras etc.). The production value (and quality) is just very high for a tv series.
With inflation the three LotR-movies cost $375 million to make (and remember that a lot of the props were reused throughout the films and if I remember correctly NZ subsidized some of the production (I may be wrong here, been 18 years).
And just to clarify: it's for the entire series, not per episode.
But yeah, $15 million/episode is very high. I wonder if how they'll recover that money or if it's used to promote future SW products/productions (like SW IX and other upcoming stuff).
I'm not complaining though, I think it looks gorgeous without too much digitalitis (think Matrix) going on.
Oooof. Great... It's an ok star wars show now.
Budget is gonna increase cause they're paying for the voice now... But they're gonna pay for face next season
