It is. I wish you could experience it.

 Computer issues suck. Electronics are good when they work the way they are supposed to but when they don't it can be very frustrating!
 This is a really cool design. I like the details in the emitter on this one quite a bit. It looks very useable and comfortable. Point to you for sharing good Sir. MTFBWY!

Ep. 2 pros/cons:

1.) From watching the recap, I am really not liking Hati's spaulders. They make her look like she's constantly shrugging or slouching her head. It's very unflattering.
2.) Not really sure how I felt about "Sith" Stone Henge. I kinda dig the parallel to the real one being a celestial viewing apparatus, but....if the map could be viewed without it at Sabine's place, why was it even necessary? Hopeful it will be explained later.
3.) Very hopeful that the idea of living beings being able to achieve intergalactic travel, is a fore-shadowing that the DC is working to incorporate the Yuuzhan Vong.
4.) I was bit disgruntled that Sabine got away with a mere flesh wound, when most die from a saber stab.
5.) I didn't like the hack job. Initially I thought the idea of finding the right power levels so you don't burn up the circuitry was pretty smart. But then they butchered it by making it a simple timing thing. Kinda not how that works.
6.) Oh boy. The fight in the ship yard. The droid...meh. What really caught my interest was the Inq (Can't remember his name). More specifically was that he didn't fight with the stupid fidget spinner function of the Inq saber. He actually fought straight double blade form. I appreciated him showing true skill with the saber instead of relying on gimmicks.
7.) WOW! Sabine looks way better with the shorter hair. To be fair, they could have used the nasty condition of her long hair to hightlight (you see what I did there?) what happens when you continually color your hair.
8.) Also, I liked how they made her armor more functional looking. Instead of the "I'm a cute, spunky Mando with cute spunky armor" it looked practical; like it was actually made for her petite frame, yet offered the same level of protection. Well done prop shop.
9.) I was not a fan of Chopper throwing crap out of the ship to rain down on bystanders, (especially when he is supposedly concerned that someone else had gone through his stuff) while at the same time having Hera overly concerned that shooting the transport down. Strategically, why not simply wait to break atmo, THEN open fire? And if you could stop the transport, target the cargo and make the acquisition useless? TBF, without the idiotically thrown tracker, they wouldn't have been able to track it to the assembly sight.

There is a lot of good in this series, but very little Great. I wish it was better than it is. And I still don't love the Ahsoka casting (and I like Rosario a lot in other things, I just don't feel she fits Ahsoka as well as most others seem to think). But there's also a lot in this series that is ... not great. And yeah, I agree with the map. Total ripoff of Treasure Planet (one of the only movies that I'd be okay with them doing a live-action remake of).
She is the perfect candidate physically. We've been watching the new Last Airbender series; some characters are perfectly cast physically, others....nah. But the post-TCW Ahsoka is just written too stiff; animated or other. Also, NO! No more live-action abominations. Too many aspects would be lost. But I can't argue that seeing the aliens CGI, yeah. Especially Scroop.

Very nicely done, building inspired sabers could be a whole new field for you to explore...The detail on the emitter is espeically good. So awful you keep having computer issues - one can only imagine what you'd be capable of doing if you actually had reliable tools to work with.

Alright. Finally got up the courage to watch the first episode. All in all I wasn't disappointed but wasn't entirely thrilled, but what should I expect from Filoni? Here are my pro-cons for the first episode.

1.) The live-action casting. Albeit, I am beyond disgusted with Disney's continued campaign to ruin beloved classics with their woke agenda, I have to say the look-alike factor was uncanny. The 3 mains looked as one would imagine their SWR animated counterparts would look. Added bonus seeing Mrs. McGregor.  Grin
2.) Prosthetics. They did a way more convincing job on Ahsoka's lekku. Still not appropriate for an adult, but looked far less childish. Similarly to Hera's lekku being small for her age. However, I'm not opposed to the parallel to....human female anatomy, in which age is not a determination of size. Some women are simply larger/smaller than others. I also liked the material they used for Ahsoka's lekku. When it moves it wrinkles, giving it a more aged skin appearance. If this was planned, it was genius.
3.) I liked how they got back to Morgan. This left a horrible taste in my mouth from Mando S2. "How TF does some random Imp with a beskar spear able to go toe-toe with a former Jedi?" Now knowing that she is a Nightsister makes a helluva lot more sense.
4.) At first I was very opposed to the new dark apprentice garb...but upon looking closer, I noticed a familiar pattern. And those schooled in concept art will recognize this.....and then I did further research and continued my disappointment. I initially thought that Hati's top was inspired by the original concept art for Asajj Ventress. But then I looked closer and saw that the pattern macthed Skoll's top. I actually liked that neither of them is actually wearing black. I wasn't quite sure how I felt about the overt wearing of white, but I'm considering that it may be an allusion to martial arts belt rankings. She is the student (white belt) and the master wears dark (black belt). And although I liked the non-plastoid armor, I felt that hers was poorly fitting and ill-placed in spots; particularly the tasses (hip armor). They just look superfluous. Spaulders, bracers and greaves I get. But that's me.
5.) I absolutely hate Hati's bangs, and hair color.....and what gives with the "padawan" braid? The actress is a pretty girl, so why give her such a wretched hair style?
6.) THE MAP!?!?! I am trying to keep my lunch down over this. HOW TF is there always a map made long ago to a place that is relevant right NOW? Thrawn was taken to God knows where with a light-speed space creature. Who TF knows that they took him anywhere versus leaving him as (most probable) space trash. Also...way to rip off Treasure Planet.
7.) I'm lost on how Ezra got lost. Guess I need to rewatch SWR. But I will welcome any reminders.
8.) I liked the orange light sabers. Anxious to see where they go with this.
9.) I appreciated Hati's ferocity when attacking. It was nice to see that she knows her place as an implement for her master....if they are in fact Sith. Curious to see where this leads.
10.) The New Republic uniforms......are so horrible looking. I'm not even into fashion, and these make me shudder. <bughugh>
11.) I'm very confused about how a group of Nightsisters of Dathomir set up an entire city on Arcana. Wouldn't that by definition make them the Nightsisters of Arcana?
12.) Sabine got dead. WOOHOO! I know she's not dead cuz I've seen enough spots online to know she gets a haircut. But still.
13.) I'm calling BS on how devastating the droid self-destruct are. The whole premise is beyond stupid. More so in that the CIS droid army didn't simply send out waves of suicide bombers to win the war. Ntm, why the hell do the bombs have to be visible to activate? "Well we did this thing one time, so now we have to do it for everything." {Stupid Disney}
14.) I loved how they had the conference table on the ship retract into the floor. That was particularly smooth.

There is a lot of good in this series, but very little Great. I wish it was better than it is. And I still don't love the Ahsoka casting (and I like Rosario a lot in other things, I just don't feel she fits Ahsoka as well as most others seem to think). But there's also a lot in this series that is ... not great. And yeah, I agree with the map. Total ripoff of Treasure Planet (one of the only movies that I'd be okay with them doing a live-action remake of).
