Possibly, but if this is any indication, it's not pulling me into wanting to watch those. I've seen most everything else Star Wars related and read a lot of books including the Zahn trilogy, which I loved. I have an R2D2 case on my phone and I am a big Star Wars fan. I do agree they are leaning on the audience already knowing the characters, that was pretty evident starting with the cartoon painting of the group from Sabine's room which did nothing for me. I wish there was a little more connection presented, but if I did watch the cartoon series, I probably wouldn't want too much rehash either, so I understand the choice. I just wish there was a little more tension built in, even between Baylon and Shin, because honestly, I'm not really feeling that connection either except for her "having" to obey him. I was really super excited about this coming out, and maybe that's adding to my whole meh attitude about it. I just want more feeling I guess. Maybe a flashback or two of why Sabine is so attached to Ezra... IDK something because like I said, at this point I would have been fine if Baylon or Shin offed her and wouldn't have thought twice about it.
