And in traditional Star Wars fashion, the droid stole the show, Pip was the best part…
Of course the rest was good too, liked the fight scenes.

LOL I said the same thing when I was watching it!
I really enjoyed the look and feel of the series, I came in blind I did not follow too much before watching the episodes. It feels like Star Wars and that is a good start. I was wondering how they where going to make it feel "old" but I think they did good job at that. The droids so far seem advanced but not as advanced as the other films and I really like how Coruscant has not grown like the buildings are shorter than in the films and that is a nice touch.
Story wise I am 50/50 I am intrigued enough to stay on and see where this goes. No major issues but nothing that I am like WOW about. But I have felt that way about a number of the other live action series so take that for what its worth. Excited to see where it goes, looking forward to the Wookie Jedi.

Right on cue it looks like "audience" review bombing is in full force, likely because of the heavy female cast of course.

I think it’s more likely the fact that the show is bad.

What happens in episode 3 that is so polarizing?
I read something but I think it’s made up. I’ll wait for confirmation before saying anything. It just sounds beyond ridiculous.

Exactly. I think we should be well beyond being concerned about what this guy is concerned about. A LOT of hyperbole. But yeah certain types of people will have problems with it no matter how it is portrayed. It's not as much of a problem with SW as it is with a divide in society that has become deeper and more contentious unfortunately.

So does anyone think the mysterious "master" could be Darth Plagueis?
And he's really.... a girl!!!

EU does talk about Palpatine's concubines. One was Roganda Ismaren who had a son and was grooming to be the next emperor.
Roganda Ismaren/Legends
Roganda Ismaren was a Human female from Alderaan, a former Jedi Initiate who had escaped the Great Jedi Purge. In 18 BBY, she and several other younglings were smuggled to Plett's Well on the planet Belsavis, under the guidance of Jedi Master Plett. However, their refuge was discovered by...
