Obi Wan Kenobi - Disney+ (may contain spoilers)

The Yoda bit is in the first clone wars series the 2D samurai jack looking one.

Opinion: Would it not have been better for Vader to kill Tala ? Kind of revenge for Padme ? It was clear Kenobi was going weak at the knees for her, living alone in a cave in the desert is not natural.

Have you seen Picard ??? …. It could be a lot lot worse…. A lot worse

In Empire Strikes Back, Vader is assured by his bridge crew that they have disabled the hyperdrive on the Falcon; their capture is inevitable and the tractor beam will be suffic- until our heroes unexpectedly fix their hyperdrive. In a way I think he's just as guffed that Luke didn't choose to surrender.

Rogue One makes far less sense: Vader was really into himself with his Sith vibes chopping down a hallway of goons, then he sees the ship flying off, and he just stands there and let's it jump to hyperspace and roll credits. This is a biggo plothole if I'm being honest. It wouldn't even matter if you assumed Vader knew his daughter was on the ship, letting her jump away still made no sense for the urgency of the situation - the loss of the death star plans.

ew worse: why does Vader just let Luke jump?

The original body actor is dead. Introducing a new body double into the Covid bubble might have been too expensive.

They used 2 body doubles idk what’s being talked about here

Not bad for my lowered expectations. I suppose it a more coherent episode but the flip flopping of Reva, that she's still living and that they all managed to escape sounds like story in search of a clear plotline.

Luke (and the audience) didn't know she was his sister at that point. Yes still cringe-worthy to watch once you know but also actually decent writing as it's accurate for what we and they knew at the time.

Kenobi calling him Darth sticks with him not wanting Luke to know it was his Dad (and the simple fact it would remove the twist later, and trust me an an era without the internet it was a hell of a reveal at the time :) ).

This is similar to an age old argument that you can never question the writing for Fantasy/Scifi because...well, lasers and dragons. Good fiction establishes the rules for it's world and plays within them no matter how out-there those rules seem. Bad makes it up as it goes regardless. Star Wars presents it's populace trait-wise as modern humans with advanced tech, and well, The Force. They have wits and eyes similar to ourselves. When things reliant on basic human trappings and nature happen that we think are ludicrous and could never succeed here we know based on the rules they presented they shouldn't happen there. Kenobi could never walk Leia out under his fkn coat. A wall of troopers marching and firing at a smaller group of rebels literally 10 feet away can't miss that much. Bad guys wouldn't let opponents get away so often. So many many things this show does that are just face-palm leaders into the next scene because they were too stupid to transition properly and think we're too stupid to notice or care.

The new show's writing is just plain sloppy and senseless. It takes massive shortcuts that appear simply there to facilitate some intermittent good visual scenes. Which ties into Disney's new habit of pre-visualising scenes before the movies/shows are even shot, with the showrunner and team having to work around it. Some do it well, this team do it incredibly badly. It's like every good idea gets swamped in 5 bad ones, and terrible lazy implementation.

I am really getting this strong impression that Deborah Chow is just like 'feck it i do my job and i go home'. Who is exactly there to influence Boba and Obiwan (and more to come scarily scheduled for next 2 years) and give us these consistently crap productions and writings lmao.

abit OTT:

We actually watched Serenity (just random pick didnt know it is on Netflix) over the weekend, a 2005 movie actually aged well and i wouldn't even mind if they literally copied pasted the scenes from that directly into Solo or Boba - and that movie budget was 39mil😂 the chase scenes and effects are miles better (and the plot/characters actually are competently written). Would strongly recommend it if you have been depressed by Disney SW stuff (i didnt even watch much of Firefly back then so i am not really a fan - and maybe i should go find and finish it...).

I'm pretty much of the same opinion pix. Disney know that they have a captive audience, or at least a substantial number of audience members that will have make excuses for the poor state of what they are producing in the name of Star Wars. There are legions of people out there that would watch a paint drying seminar if it had Star Wars in the title and make every excuse under the sun in order to fend off anyone who criticises it.

'Kenobi' has been so mediocre it's net even funny. But there are loads of people who will sing its praises with loud voices simply because it's more Star Wars and that does it for them, which is grand. But it does nothing to change the fact that Disney need to up their game in a number of areas with regards to the franchise. Because quality wise, they've only had two hits from a consensus POV, 'Rogue One' and 'The Mandalorian'. Everything else has been meh to awful for a huge number of people.
