Did the fan base hate Lando and Mace like that at the time tho? Genuinely asking cause Finn definitely got racist pushback and it seems like Reva is headed in that direction

Lando was already inserted in the series before most of the current bulk of fans were born, and he's never been a strong, major player. As for Mace, Samuel L.Jackson was a veteran actor that had universal appeal even among racists, so he never got a lot of pushback.

Finn and Reva are new characters played by new faces. They also are major players in their respective stories. That combined with the fact that all this has come about at a time we have been in a long standing culture war with these alt right/nazi scumbags, leads to the whirlwind of hate you're seeing now.
Idk if brehs remember. However, Finn was getting MAJOR HATE BEFORE Force Awakens dropped. Thats when it looked like he was going to be the new Luke Skywalker. Once the bait and switch occurred the hate dropped immediately.


SW coming out swinging this time around


I hate spreading this video. But you got dudes like this twisting her words


She said Reva thinks she's the best. Not that Reva is better than Vader.

I really do wish ole girl was better in the role. Cause they trying to Jar Jar her.

Understandable

They've only lightly touched on this but, there's the underlying idea in the galaxy that "The Jedi will come to your planet and tell you your child is special and then take them away and you'll never see them again"

Reva was probably taken from her parents as a child in order to become a youngling, not even fully a padawan yet, only to be thrust right into Order 66 and be left with no family, no guidance, nothing.

If it's been 10 years since the Battle on Mustafar, so we know Reva has probably spent 10 years of being one of Vaders apprentices, being subjected to all manner of cruelty in order to become stronger and more powerful.

And with Anakins rage, he's probably blamed Obi-Won for everything he has lost

Man that Vader show that they eventually make is going to be amazing :wow:


This is the closest your getting to a vader show...now maybe a "rise of vader" movie where you could go dark? Possible but a Disney plus show :mjlol:


You saw what they did to the Bobba fett show that was supposed to be "dark"...they can't do vader justice on disney plus

I was excited for this. You mfs are killing the vibe.

I don't know, on one level I know all Star Wars is corny childish treacle, but obviously the OG trilogy and even the prequels are way better than the new stuff I've seen. I was hoping this would be more like the prequels.

The prequels got shyt for bad acting though. This should be no exception. The OG trilogy gets a pass cause it's the Og
The prequels dialogue was so poorly written at points that even Natalie Portman and one of the most charismatic actors ever, Sam Jackson, came off wooden. I think that’s the case here too.

People are shytting on the actress and then referencing shyt she has no control over like the parkour and screaming at the ship Obi Wan flies off on. That chick got no say in that. They could cast Cate Blanchett and she wouldn’t be able to do much more with the material. It’s Star Wars lol.

If I have one complaint, its that the Inquisitors were written as too controlled and trying to be rational. Its Canon that they hunt people across the galaxy and are about that action. They are taking the Jedi hunt themselves a little too far. Inquisitors supposed to look like this

She was angry as fukk, and didn't hesitate to jump on a ship that was leaving. Reva seems to have a similar situation. People are complaining about her, but to me she aint doing enough. 5th bother damn sure aint angry enough for that job. These people supposed to be mentally fukked up and angry, tortured people. Even the Grand Inquisitor, though he has always been the one that understands the game, doesn't seem evil enough.

All true, dialogue in this franchise always been assy and that's not on the actors...

If she was a white girl this wouldn't be going that much better for her though, ask Daisy Ridley...

The bulk of the backlash is coming from the fact this is more KK bullshyt...There is no need for this character to exist in this SW story let alone be a central character taking up this much screen time in a 6 episode show about Obi-Wan and Anakin...The fact she's poorly written as annoying as fukk makes the situation much worse...

They could of made an Inquisitor show with Reva as a main character building her up with a backstory but no, they had to force her on the fanbase in Obi-Wan's show which they're not even fukking giving us full length episodes...Episode 2 was 30 minutes long...smh

The people running Lucas Films are fukking idiots...

The way people are copping pleas for this show is disgusting
I mean if this amount of bad shyt tier writing was in Mando or TBOBF people would be savaging Favreau and saying he should never touch star wars again
I feel bad for the lady who plays reva they are giving her no room to work with on this bad script and plot


Ewan as Obi Wan and Nostalgia really must have people snowed
KK is going to ruin a lot of stuff with this series
Grand Inquisitor just instantly getting shyt on by Reva(I doubt he's dead but still that's absolutely top tier jobbing) Not sure how people are okay with so many of these bad elements and its only been 2 episodes

They've handled the show the wrong way.

Vader should have been 1b to Kenobi's 1a.

We should be watching his journey the same way we are watching Obi Wan's.

He should be the dual main character of the show.

I don't give damn about this inquisitor stuff.
