Star Wars Rebels

I was really looking forward to the show when it was announced: Interesting time period in the Star Wars universe with lots of possible plot hooks, interesting characters in the crew, etc. This sounded like a lot of potential. After watching the first couple of episodes, I'm a bit underwhelmed. It's not bad at all, but it could have been so much more: The stories are quite simple with straightforward plot ("mission of the week" structure) and – so far – lack a deeper story arc. Furthermore, the characters are often acting a bit childish, which doesn't really seem to fit to the general tone of other stories in the franchise. I know, this is supposed to be a show for kids and young adults, but that doesn't mean you can't establish a complex, interesting story and an environment with love for little details. Series like The Last Airbender or Legend Of Korra have proven that, why can't a widely loved, rich universe full of stunning tales and adventure like Star Wars have something similar?

Not sure why I'm addicted to this show, but I am... ;-)
