Interesting that that opening fight had both knives and blood - I think there was a time (before Andor) where both those things weren’t really allowed in Star Wars. It felt like nothing that came after really lived up to that. Episode 2 had two writers, joined by the word ‘and’ rather than an ampersand, meaning that they worked on it separately, which doesn’t bode well (the last time I saw that for a TV show was Secret Invasion, and that was rubbish).
It’s okay, good enough to keep watching. It looks like it’s getting review-bombed though, so there must be something about it that’s upset people.
Also, as soon as my stupid brain heard that a character was called Osha, it didn’t stop thinking about Star Wars Health and Safety violations:

Is it because the main character is a black woman? I have a feeling it might be.
I say this as a white dude: I don’t care if there is never another white male main character in Star Wars again. Everyone who cares can see themselves out of the fandom and leave it to those of us who just genuinely love Star Wars.
