This show is cool, but it feels pointless. Did we really need an explanation for the 9-10 gap between episdoes 3 and 4?

Nothing is of consequence in this show. We know Obi Wan and Leia live. What's the point of this kidnapping plot?

Disney could learn from Vince Gilligan and Better Call Saul for how you create suspense even when the fate of main characters is known.
get used to it. people fawn over Rogue One, which is the most pointless movie ever made. "Here's the pitch, we're gonna introduce you to a crew of unmemorable characters that all die stealing the plans to the Death Star. it will lead right into all the shyt we've already seen, and ultimately add nothing to the lore and backstory of Star Wars canon... and there won't be any cool aliens really... but there will be a shyt talking droid whose kinda cool, we guess? Oh and get this! we're gonna ressurect Tarkin and Leia but they're gonna look like PS1 characters! AND we got Mads Mikkelson... but in classic Disney fashion, we're just gonna waste him."

and they fukkin SPUN that shyt off with the least interesting character in the crew! i have no doubt they'll make an interesting world around him, but jesus fukkin christ...

That’s funny you’re complaining about pointlessness but needing stuff to tie back into the lore feeds pointlessness.

Sometimes a story is just a story.

They could have had all the characters survive and spin off into countless Marvel style crossovers but the story was about how much is being risked by non Skywalker adjacent characters

no. very few movies ever made are as pointless as Rogue One, especially when you factor in it being the first non Skywalker Star Wars entry point. what a p*ssy move to make it about something no one gave a fukk about. we got enough Death Star for a lifetime... and then they came back with another new one in Force Awakens! "But it was actually kind of a war movie." sure it was... but hey, AT-ATs on a beach was dope to look at for a couple minutes.

I mean this show was obviously made primarily as fan service to have Ewan McGregor act as Obi-Wan again (and Hayden Christensen as Anakin/Vader).

I don't mind it at all.

the difference between Obi-Wan and Rogue One is people have actually openly wondered what Obi-Wan did between RotS and ANH, no one has ever pondered how Princess Leia got the plans to the Death Star. of all the millions of things they could have started the "Star Wars Story" universe with, that's what we got... then we got Young Han Solo. They've been botching this shyt from day 1.

this show is fine though. just fine. basically the bar for Disney+ "it's fine."

If you're hating on Moses Ingram because she's Black or a woman, fukk off :camby:

If you're hating on her because her acting in the 1st two episodes of Obi-Wan was flat and left much to be desired? :ehh:
fukk these racist ass virgin neckbeards…but her acting was not good. It’s cool though because the bar has been set pretty damn low in the SW universe.

there's no magic on Disney+

most of the shows have been entertaining, but it just doesn't feel anywhere near the same. Seeing
James Earl Jones Darth Vader
on a random ass wednesday episode 3 of a show just doesn't have the same impact as seeing it on the big screen. i understand thats a nitpick, and what the fukk do i expect, but i can't really articulate it any better. that "magic" doesn't exist anymore.
There's no magic because they put out 4 movies and 4 shows in a 7 year span. Even the prequels had 3 year breaks


They oversaturate. They're doing the same with MCU.

Wasn’t the why would put a giant flaw in their mega weapon a huge question of Star Wars fans?
