I actually thought the worst scene was the 'I'm going to put my older cousin in his place' scene. They did a really good job with her character building overall but that scene came across like she was 10 years old and already someone's ex-wife.I am going to try to wait until the show is over before coming to a conclusion. Swerves are a thing. And sometimes they are setting up a better second half (WandaVision started rough, but ended up being solid).
That said, the Leia chase scenes are pretty irredeemable.
The first chase scene was kinda silly but my impression was that the bandits weren't trying. They just wanted to scare her and intimidate her and then bag her from behind. Killing the guard did intimidate her for sure. I dont think the bandits ever thought she was a real flight risk.
I have a number of issues with the episode 2 chase scene, though. Almost every character involved has to act stupid in just the right ways for all of that to happen. For me, that extends to almost the whole episode. If the show redeems itself, I'll just see Episode 2 as a necessary evil but if it doesn't its getting a the mystery science theater treatment for me. Its monumentally stupid.
