Part 5/11:
A recurring critique is the sluggish pacing and filler content that plagues many Disney+ Star Wars series. The episodes often seem padded unnecessarily with long walking shots, extended stare downs, and other non-essential scenes. The reviewer estimates that, when cut of this padding, each 45-minute episode could be condensed to about 20 minutes—undermining viewers’ patience and satisfaction.
Furthermore, Disney seems to be prioritizing quantity over quality, aiming for eight-episode seasons that fill space without meaningful narrative progress. The heavy reliance on eyeball-grabbing tactics, like prolonged action scenes or flashbacks, fails to keep audiences hooked for the long term.
