A lightsaber that can cut through tough metal alloy would melt / burn every bit of your squishy insides. It's not like a gun wound.
Never mind this, the lightsaber fights were all pretty terrible. So much over acting, spinning, needless raising of arms and thereby exposing the entire body. ?
(Mind you, Kylo & Rey vs red guards in TLJ was worse, so it's not a new thing.)
Someone already mentioned the ridiculous first scene with the High-Profile Prisoner being transported with minimal security. It's almost as if they wanted her to be rescued.
Hera looks as if she is discussing the weather when it dawn's on her that Ezra might still be alive. And seriously, they hadn't considered that he might be alive even though Chimaera clearly didn't explode but was taken into hyperspace at the end of Rebels? What a great family...
Sabine is insufferable and acts as if she was a teenager. Ahsoka has no expression except stoic smugness. Why was Sabine her apprentice? Since when does she have the Force? Or don't you need the Force anymore?
Ahsoka was never a Jedi Knight, yet the opening crawl (which looks like something the Intern quickly did on PowerPoint) claims that she is.
Morgan Elsbeth is now a great ally of Thrawn's during his time in the Empire. Since when? There is zero set-up for this. She sure would have come in handy during Rebels.
Fetch quests upon fetch quests and the "puzzles" are laughable. Nobody thought about twisting the golden snitch? Even if you didn't guess the clue, you could have tried every combination and be done in an hour. But apparently only Sabine can do that.
The self destruct droids in the old temple... If they had succeeded (which is unlikely given the arming sequence took forever), Ahsoka and the map would have been destroyed. Great plan.
Thrawn... There is no reason anyone watching should be concerned about him unless you know Heir to the Empire, Rebels (even there he was hardly brilliant) or have read the books. A little bit of setup for the supposedly evil villain would have been nice. Other than saying "there will be war". Show, don't tell.
I could go on but the writing is so bad and relies purely on people's nostalgia for these characters.
I want to like the show but my hopes are slim.
