I mean the writer on this show was a writer on Rogue One. At the very base structural level, they are both trying to deal with the ground-level political situations of the Star Wars universe. The big difference to me here is the storytelling is so decompressed and you actually get time to sit with these characters instead of rushing from scene to scene. Rogue One is three acts of setup, bridge, payoff and this show is very happy to just languish in setup before moving to payoff. And then doing even more setup. I definitely think the buildup to 6 was totally worth it.

That and the moment-to-moment writing is straight up just better and harder hitting than R1. Most of the show is people sitting around talking to each other about the banality of evil and it's good.
