    Ive not watched it but it sounds like a horrible show, bad effects, plot and characters.

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    This might make it redeemable

    Last episode chalked off, more out of a sense of obligation or sense of completion than eagerness (unlike, to compare with another franchise, Strange New Worlds). What new things did we learn about Obi-Wan? The PTSD angle was interesting but thinly explored - everything else felt like filler towards no goal.

    The final fight worked for the precise moment Vader's mask was opened; the rest was noise though, using a lot of digital camera shake for no good reason. As said before the action direction has been generally quite dire.

    I'm done with Star Wars reading over old stories and characters, especially when the execution was this flaccid and inert. Andor looks vaguely interesting but again, it's a prequel - but at least it won't be the fuppin' Skywalkers.

    The training has them fighting with their lightsabers, which prompts Anakin to ask why Jedi use lightsabers. For that matter, why don’t they use lightsaber technology to make other weapons? Obi-Wan has a good answer, one that is likely similar to those who fight with swords in medieval times.

    Why do Jedi even use lightsabers?

    Jedi credit the use of lightsabers as a means of concentrating on their focus and discipline. As explained by Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, "the lightsaber was the formal weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster. More skill than simple sight was required for its use.
