I disagree. We know their relationship, we don't need to step out of the story to see stuff that we all already know and have seen. The audience of this show is people that know these movies.

That being said. I wasn't into their first interaction/meeting either. I get the subversion. You expect there to be this big building moment; a meeting of the titans toward the end of the season, then WOAH, not that at all, he's running around afraid for his life and outmatched. I get it. However look at TLJ... that whole movie was a subversion of what we expected and the result was us realizing that we just want we expect (maybe with some slight tweaks).

Star Wars is the heroes journey after all. It's Greek, it's Shakespeare... we don't want subversions/unexpected takes. We want huge, epic, classic storytelling.
