Yeah I think you're right as a fanfic. Coming of the heels of Andor too.... I mean everything is gonna look shit compared to that series haha. But I think it's also our first look at The High Republic and honestly expectations are rightfully high (no pun intended) because this is effectively our first peek at something that has nothing to do with the Skywalker era. And it just didn't meet that bar, which kinda puts a bad taste in future endeavors.

Honestly it's a systematic failure of Executive leadership at Disney more than anything. At countless points this project should've been axed or halted for rewrites. Giving that much latitude to an inexperienced show runner is very dangerous.
