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.
