Two episodes in and all I can think about is how much this series seems to have ripped off scenes from The Matrix. Having Carrie-Anne Moss effectively play Trinity again but dressed in a Jedi robe was bizarre and ridiculous. The martial arts direction they appear to be trying to take for this series' action scenes makes for a strange and jarring choice. Even the non-Jedi characters seem to be experts in kung fu. It doesn't feel like Star Wars at all. Much of the dialogue sounds flat, as if it were straight from a high school drama production. I laughed hard at the scenes with Torbin, a levitating Jedi master, in the second episode. The makeup department takes a very young actor and gives him a terrible fake beard and receding hairline to make him look like an old man. It looks like something from an SNL sketch. Overall, the show is generally uninteresting and at times laughable. This is the reason I will probably watch to the end, just to see how bad it gets. So, it falls into the 'so bad it's good' category but I'm not sure that what the creators were going for.
