see I am digging the whole cast. Chopper and the hairless wookie dude are top. Then the kid and the 30 year old leader, along with the two ladies - all have promise...like the team element

I like it more than I thought, probably because of the McQuarrie influence and the force/music stuff. Still think the human characters are way too kiddie looking character design wise. Troopers are cool though.
Spoiler:
I may have liked this even better than the pilot. I really like Zeb, so it was good to get a little more background on him. Plus, I thought the cameos (more than just R2/Threepio!!!) were great. Yes, it's early. But I think it was a smart move early on. I doubt they'll rely on it too much. I found the set-up to just be a lot of fun, starting out on the transport and then going back to Lothar. Chopper and R2's interactions were fun. I thought it was funny that no one is still telling Threepio the actual mission. Though, of course, that does lead to issues here. I can't say enough about the designs on the show. Love the action with the AT-DP. And I NEED a toy of the Ghost!
Episodes 1/2: Spark of Rebellion:
I thought this was fantastic! I never did get into Clone Wars. Too much prequel stuff. But I pretty much loved everything about the opening movie. I really like the designs, and I'm already taken with the characters, too. I look forward to seeing how this evolves over time. I hope they let it run for a while, even after Episode VII. Although the plot was pretty basic, it clipped along at a good pace. There's just something about the music, seeing actual Stormtroopers... all of that, that just makes it FEEL right. Even the way the lightsaber glows! They really spent some time on the details. Great beginning.
Episode 3: Droids in Distress

So far the one hour show (which is episode 1 & 2) is it... it starts up again on Monday night on DisneyXD.
I see Disney worked in its shuttle from STAR TOURS. Now the ride's real.
You mean canon, and now the Disneyfication of Star Wars starts.
Spoiler:This was a more light-hearted episode, furthering the dynamic between Zeb and Ezra. I really enjoyed it. They are setting up a sort of brotherly dynamic between them, not so different than Ben and Johnny had in the Fantastic Four. It's actually a lot of fun to see them together, and there's a lot of good action with the TIE fighter and the Troop transports being a stand-out. I enjoyed them going to the market, and the stuff with Chopper messing with them and Sabine painting their room. I do hope we get to see more of Hera and Kanan, though. Right now, they are coming off as the parents of the group and that can be a bit of a square role until they are developed more.
If you like Legos, the Ghost set is awesome, for another 20 bucks you can add in the Phantom and have the whole cast and entire ship.
