This series was mostly bad to average but it was a decent finale
Reva needed a lot more character development
Obi Wan was a joke for literally 4/5 of the show and then for the finale he becomes the GOAT again to beat Vader

also Disney messing up canon something serious

I feel like they could have thrown a whole ep at the qui gon reveal and not save it for the end
I thought that too at first but in reality there’s not much there.

What exactly it takes to become a force ghost is supposed to be vague mojo. So what else are they supposed to talk about for thirty minutes. One is dead and the other has been living in a cave.

Damn Obi Wan is just a bad style match up for Vader, whooped his ass yet again. Finale fukking delivered imo.

Obi Wan is Soresu's greatest thats pure defense and counterpunching, its like Vader is Iron Mike in his prime but Obi Wan would be like a 190 pound Floyd :huhldup: hes just gonna bait you out. Dooku was actually the one that had Kenobis number

The Vader Obi-wan stuff was really good. The fight was great seeing Obi-Wan back to form. Also, Vader being blinded by his hatred of Kenobi did him in again.

Reva staying alive for this episode felt weird. I don't understand why they did that. As expected the story of this was meh, but the interactions between Obi-Wan & Vader as well as Obi-Wan and Leia were great. So I like this show for what it is.

Last episode was the best one

The Vader vs Obi-Wan fight looked weird because of the angles and the cg

Dooku is Hearns, Anakin is Hagler and Obi Wan is Sugar Ray…except that ain’t 100% cuz Sugar Ray beat Hearns where Dooku sons Obi Wan everytime smh

Episode was great. I don't know how Obi-Wan got so much stronger in one episode but I'm with it. I only have two complaints -

1. It didn't really make sense for Obi-Wan not to kill Vader when he had the chance. I mean this is one of the most prolific mass murderers the galaxy has ever seen, you can't be getting in your feelings and letting this guy go.

2. The Qui-Gon part was lame. After all that buildup I would have thought he would have something to say that was useful or at least interesting. Instead he just says "Hi there" and the show ends.


But besides those nitpicks I thought it was great and wouldn't object to a 2nd season. Reva part was cool too.

That fight choreography was so well done. Between references to the prequels, it also referenced the episode 5 flashback fight showing how those two are still sparring even if they now are at different places emotionally.

Well, I think you know the reason, breh lol.

If Obi kills Vader in this series, then that means the OG trilogy becomes non-canon. Obviously, they weren't going to do that.

That's why there needs to be a new saga in the Stars Wars franchise, so that new stories can be told without being restrained by previous films. The Skywalker Saga has more than run it's course.

If Disney thought they could find something to rival the iconography of Ralph McQuarri’s designs in toy sales they probably would.

People said Disney ruined Power Rangers when they bought it but it probably was never going to reach its previous heights. So they got stuck in the same loop of milking the old stuff.

Thought the episode had some really good stuff mixed with the questionable things this series has been plagued by.
This sums up my thoughts as well.

Series had a lot of ups and downs and left a lot on the table by wasting time on shyt nobody asked for and didn't add anything worth a damn to the show or Star Wars as a whole. But as we got close to the ending, it focused more on what was working so it ended up on a good note.

I would love for them to go back to the old republic. You can go the Mandalorian war or the period before the rule of two was established. I just want to see hundreds of Jedi and Sith fighting that's all

Mandalorian Wars and Jedi Civil War is a saga that would print money and they have refused to do it for 20 years, it's beyond retarded.

It makes sense in the context of Vader obviously having to live for the sake of the OGs, but not from a logical standpoint in general. It would have been less of a :comeon: if Obi defeated him and something interfered with him finishing the job.

All in all I enjoyed the series, but yeah it being handcuffed because of what's already been established is something I felt they could of done a better job of dealing with.

Looking forward to Mando 3 and Ahsoka since we don't know what happens to any of those characters after that period outside of Luke
