Pretty Decent and on Par With the First
So far, the first two episodes have done a pretty decent enough job of keeping me interested in the series but hasn't been that amazing or memorable yet.
I gotta admit, for a show called Ahsoka, I feel like we're getting more screen time and characterization for other characters and know more about them than the titular character. I think she needs a lot more characterization and they shouldn't rely on people having watched Clone Wars to know her.
While the pacing is this episode is faster and the episode has a shorter runtime than the first, I still find some scenes to be way longer than they should be. I'm all for slow-burn scenes. Andor knows how to do them, but I don't think it's Dave Filoni's style or strength as a writer to do that. Slow-burn scenes should be meaningful. Dialogue-driven scenes aren't done that great and that's why I think some scenes feel longer than they should be. When two people are sitting in a room talking, and do nothing else or the camera movement and editing don't do much and are minimal, then that scene is boring.
Sometimes dialogue alone is written so well that keeps you invested, like Andor. But this show's dialogue is just competent enough not to roll your eyes, it's not strong or anything memorable enough to singlehandedly carry a scene and not make it boring. So I think with better directing and editing they could definitely make this show feel better paced and not make some scenes be as long as they are where characters are just staring at things and nothing happens.
Also, thank God we're not on Tatooine again or another thousandth sand planet just like every other Star Wars show. I just noticed that we're not spending 90% of the show on a sand planet, so that alone at least gets a thumbs up for me for a Star Wars show.
I also like that we're at least getting some decent screen time from the villains though they aren't that well established much yet. It's still a 100 times better than Mandalorian's 3rd season where we didn't even know there was an antagonist until like 80% into the season. So that's good too I guess.
Overall, these two first episodes have been good enough to keep me interested and have a pretty good production. But they haven't been that memorable or amazing that would make you want to binge all of it. I think it's a pretty good show so far, but I don't understand all the 9s and 10s it's getting in the overall show's review section. I don't understand people giving the whole show a rating, low or high, when only 25% of it has come out and it could go either way in the next 6 episodes.
In my opinion, the show hasn't been horrible enough to warrant all the 2s and 3s, and it hasn't been so well-written and amazing to warrant the 9s and 10s either. It's decent enough, but nothing bad or great either. We'll have to wait and see how it goes.
