I thought it was fine for the most part. We have to be careful not to re-write shows or films with scenes we think of or scenes we'd like to see - that's basically fan fiction, and too many people are doing that too often. I didn't have too many problems with this, although - like with "Rings of Power" - I am trying my best to just absorb it and not tear it apart. Even so, I think it has mostly been solid by normal storytelling standards.
Having said that, there are a few things that I would take issue with. There was no need to have two scenes of Kyle McLaughlin eating cereal with his elf mother. It didn't advance anything at all. It is clearly trying to establish a parallel with Diego Luna and his adoptive mother, but it didn't do anything beyond that, and it didn't have to do it twice. More crucially, they didn't need to have three or four scenes establishing the distrust between the rebels and the new guy. One would have done the trick, and then they could move on. Audiences understand that we are not seeing every moment of these characters' lives and can fill in some of the blanks - so if the characters have one scene of distrust, then a scene of detente, then something that establishes trust, that would be enough. It would buy them time to flesh out other characters, like McLaughlin or Wig Man. I don't know what the f*** they were thinking putting him in that hairpiece, but whatever.
In a limited series like this, where you know you have 24 eps to get from zero to Rogue One, it would be nice to see every moment serve a solid purpose. Still, it's better by far than "Obi Wan," which was just awful, and the less said about the prequels, the sequels, and the twirly c***s Striiker referenced in "The Book of Boba Fett's Friend Mando" the better.
