Reckon Season 1 was a good entry point into the Star Wars Universe?

It's a good entry point, because the show is fantastic and stands on its own very well.

It's a bad entry point, because it's pretty much all downhill after you've watched this.

I don't know about "downhill" necessarily, at least not for everything, but I can well imagine a certain amount of whiplash involved in pivoting from this to a story about actual space wizards shooting lightning bolts at each other.

She liked it because of the tone and direction of the series.

My country suffered hard during the Soviet occupation and such stories remind people to the not far past. But most importantly, it was well executed and written. An engaging series overall, a Star Wars story made for adults.

Answering your question: yes, it was a great entry point but she is still not interested in Star Wars in general (neither am I thanks to the latest disappointments). We will watch similar project together tho.

Iron curtain ptsd is, indeed, one of the things that came to mind, as my family is from a former communist country
