What's interesting to me, is that all 3 trilogies have a different feel, yet this show somehow has all of them combined, plus a bit of Clone Wars. I still don't know exactly how they managed to tie all of this very different aesthetics together. I was not expecting that at all. The show goes from wild west to practical ships, to some great CGI, to puppets. It's like Star Wars in a blender. That and the new Volume screen technology is the game changer that makes it possible, but I think we all know that the dynamic duo of Feloni and Favreau are just everything that Star Wars needed.
In short, the show seemed like it was a low-pressure idea to bring Star Wars to a TV format, but it ended up being the main attraction. The 2nd smartest thing Kathleen Kennedy did was dial back the terrible idea of a new Star Wars movie every year. Star Wars was on a collision course, and her hiring Favreau was key, and she knew it. Obviously the best thing she has done. I think it would be a good time to let this duo take over completely. I know that Lucas had picked her originally, but I think he knows that they both get Star Wars more than anyone.
