[Official] Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+. S1: 05/27/22

[Luke Cage]

Oh and another thing, I just re-watched the Star Wars prequel trilogy and yeah, overall they were terrible. The Phantom Menace & Attack of the Clones were mediocre/trash. Revenge of the Sith was just OK/decent. The prequels had some of worst acting I've ever seen and the CGI was laughable.



The acting in the prequels was so bad/stale that this Obi-Wan series deserves an Oscar

Not even Samuel L. Jackson was able to be charismatic or compelling.

The relationship between Padme and Anakin was the most inorganic and unromantic sh!t that I've ever seen

Anakin was a huge creep as well

Anakin's mother's death scene was emotionless as f*ck



CGI Yoda was bushes status. The CGI overall was horrendous. Yeah, I know it was the late '90s and '00s but still it's aged like spoiled milk. T2 from 1991 had better CGI


Hayden Christensen's acting improved dramatically from AOTC to ROTS but still he was just OK at best in Revenge of the Sith.

Finally, most of the fight scenes were mid/trash



There's been some revisionist history going around in recent years about the prequels (especially due to Disney's Star Wars trilogy). Some people are saying that the prequels are "good", "underrated" and "not so bad". Nah, f*ck all of that - the prequels were GARBAGE.

god damn, people in this thread literally hate everything about this show and starwars in general and yet still watching and rewatching

to do what almost every other SW property has tried to do the last 20 years, fix Episode 4 ANH.
ANH is the only thing that really makes no sense when you put everything together but they can't touch it directly because its sacred so they have been trying to fix it by padding stories around it.

Hope.

What? Was that the only post that you've seen from me in this thread?

Just because I don't like the prequels doesn't mean I don't like Star Wars in general


Also, I like this Obi-Wan series so far (for the most part) and have been defending it in this thread. Where have you been?

My bad breh, i'm just reacting in general. Post after post is people saying how much this show sucks and is not needed, and how the movies suck too. I'm sitting here like why are they here?

It's cool. And yeah, I understand what you're saying. I definitely hate the SW fans that complain about everything.

I'm not one of them. I was just giving my honest review of the prequels after not seeing them in years. I grew up liking them, so yeah lol.

Makes no sense to so a mission impossible leia series because it there is no tension

Leia livea and aids her step dad in the rebellion

The original Mission Impossible was about a team. Just cause we know Leia survives doesn’t mean you can’t break her emotionally as people on her team get hurt, die, and show how the affluent worked within the Empire.

filler episode.

Said it before but the show clearly should have been a movie and not a drawn out series.

The show reminds me of Hawkeye, where it’s complete trash saddled with painful filler but you’re just waiting to see one thing. On that show it was Kingpin here it’s Vader vs Obi wan

She isnt broken emotionally, she isnt a spy, her upbring is as elite in the rebel alliance.
She did not grow up in the empire either, as we know the organas were against palpetines seizure of power in ep 3 and the civil war started then.

You know that right?

 

[TheDarceKnight]

As someone that's a decent Star Wars fan but not a massive one, just asking...is this series worth putting the time into? I skipped The Book of Fett. How does it compare to Mandalorian? I feel like I should check this one out.

I feel like by itself it is ok. I look at it as a branch between Episodes III & IV. But as a solo experience, it does have its issues, but still better than the Boba Fett show.

I will add that you should at least watch the last 3 episodes of Book of Boba Fett since it will lead up to S3 of Mando when that airs.

She’s in the Rebel Alliance. She gets caught carrying secret plans and tortured.

That is a textbook definition of a spy. YOU KNoW THAT RIGHT?

She grew up in the era of the Empire Rules. YOU KNOW THAT RiGHT?

Being elite class don’t exempt you from the Empire. And that would be the point of the story. Last Jedi paid lip service to war profiteering but Leila’s story could give more nuanced take.

We having a staring contest?

Called her a b—-th for attempting a mind trick.

Leia doesn't get caught until the openning of A New Hope.
So there is no narative drama in a series about her because she doesn't get caught until A New Hope.

Leia is a LEADER in the rebel alliance, especially after Alderaan is destroyed and the Organa's killed.

She grew up ion fukking Alderaan. A planet far enough removed so antagonistic to Palpetine and the empire that they openly supported the rebel alliance and rebel soldiers. The very ships of the rebel alliance were Alderaan ships from Alderaan companies and the Empieror/Empire knew this, they just could not move effectively against them until the creation of the death star.

So cut the crap about what she lived on, she lived in the fukking capital of the rebel alliance and empire resistance.
