8/10
Pretty good overall

Production quality is high, and the scope of the series seems broad enough so far. Personally I'm looking forward to finishing the series.

One thing that struck me as odd (besides the chase scene) was why Leia's adopted parents wanted her to apologize to her cousin. Watching this was quite infuriating, as it was clear she handled the situation quite well. It was also a bit unclear whether Bail Organa overheard Leia in the reception hall, because he smiles after she outsmarts him with words. Yet, later he seems surprised when Leia repeats her cousin's words about not being a real Organa. In any case, I was quite surprised the way these scenes were written. If her parents want her to become a senator so bad, they should have been quite proud that Leia handled the bullying with her intelligence and words. She didn't shirk away, cry or lash out with violence. She stood boldly and used her words to gain the upper hand. Very strange.
