I think the first season was actually better as they didn’t devote half the episodes to back door pilots for new series and spend so much time with already known SW characters. This season appeared to abandon much of the original premise instead opting to be a live action follow up to the cartoon series’. I liked the Boba Fett stuff as it worked in with season 1, a lot of the other characters felt tacked on and fan service-y. Especially the CGI Luke cameo was a bit of a groaner - like it could’ve been any other Jedi in the whole galaxy, but how long can a Star Wars thing go without shoehorning a Skywalker in somewhere, right?
I saw before the episode someone suggest Cal Kestis be the one to show up, and I think that would’ve been much stronger. It would’ve lined up with Cal’s mission from the end of the game, the game used the actor’s likeness so they could’ve had no awkward CGI, then would’ve afforded some interesting crossover ideas for Jedi Fallen Order 2.
