It was prequelish. Lots of dots connected but shallow characters and overly complicated plot. Missing the Kurasawa element and there was potential for it. The droid has the most personality of all characters. It is the most free of the characters, too. It chooses its path while others seem resigned to theirs.
Crap, now I have to rewatch it from this perspective.
