I thought it was great except for the final episode of season 1.

Spoilers:

People seem to gush over Maarva's hologram speech, I thought it was pretty weak (it started good then it was fumbled).

Maarva's act of rebellion should have been killing herself to deliver her speech at the right time. She's old and sickly, so it'd add gravitas and cost effectively nothing. Then she should have said that she'd resisted all her life, but killing herself was her first act of rebellion. Then the bomb that gets thrown into the Empire ranks should have been baked into her brick, giving her the chance to fight posthumously.

They had nearly all the plot points set up so nicely for the slam dunk, I was perplexed when it ended so dryly.
