I actually also dislike almost all of the art styles, but I know that's a personal quirk, so I wasn't going to mention it :P
I found both seasons (I'm a completionist, so I've seen them all) to be about the same as far as story quality, personally. Like maybe one good one each? I don't think season 2 had anything quite as cringe as the Tatooine rock band thing from season 1 though haha
Completely agree. I'm glad they felt comfortable branching out like this. Much better than just shitting out a bunch of Episode IXs or whatever.
An analogue, I think, is how oddball Star Trek: Lower Decks is. That show 100% works for me, but it was clearly a risk
