I agree that everyone should watch and judge for themselves.
But I had a completely different reaction. To me it feels like a survey driven TV show devoid of compelling story or character development. As if they wrote every scene of every episode in a writing room with statisticians combing through data suggesting what fans might like and what toys they could sell.
The thing I dislike the most is that they added explanations and backstory to things that just didn’t need it. Fans could wonder and theorize endlessly about things such as Yoda and his race... until now. It takes the wonder out of the universe which is directly against the ideas presented in this article.

What explanation or backstory did they add to Yoda and his race?
It's reminded me how much charm the universe has, it's a loving homage to the original while not feeling like a deliberate homage.
The universe feels realer somehow and the score is appropriately epic.
If you haven't seen it, totally worth a watch.
