After the disappointment of "The Acolyte", I found this to be a surprisingly satisfying series and had an enjoyable ending. The character development stood out, especially for the adult At Attin characters. It was fascinating to see how their fears and stagnation mirrored what Wim, Fern, and the others might have become if they hadn’t embraced adventure. Wim’s father reverting to a childlike state on the swoop was a particularly poignant moment.

The Order 66 twist was brilliant—revealing Jod as a fraud added depth to the story. Sure, the central control station trope was a bit predictable, but this is "Star Wars". It worked within the world and felt fitting, no more contrived than the Death Star’s vulnerable exhaust vent.

I thought the cast was excellent, with Jude Law delivering a standout performance. He brought so much to the table, and I wouldn’t mind seeing more of him in the future. The kids were also fantastic, adding charm and energy to the story.

The stand-alone nature of this tale was refreshing. It wasn’t perfect—some plot points felt abrupt, and the villains’ reckless destruction of the city didn’t entirely make sense. But I genuinely appreciated that they told a complete story without relying on promises of a second season. That’s a rarity with TV these days.

Overall, it was a fun, thrilling ride. Yes, it had its flaws, but the cast, clever twists, and its adventurous spirit made it an experience worth revisiting. If they find the right story, I’d gladly hop on for another adventure.

Really liked it for what it was family friendly space adventure with a bunch of kids as leads. This is the type of stuff they should do more, as it opens up the universe instead of trying to tie everything to the skywalker saga, making the universe look very small. Plus the kids made better bikers than the modsquad from the book of Boba Fett.

It looks like there might not be a 2nd season, due to low ratings... :(
