An OK finale doesn't make up for what was an appalling first 4 episodes. Even episode 5 had some moments that were :snoop:

This was not a great show, the fight choreography was a lot better than that dusty fight they had earlier in the season but still lacking. The music in the finale was all over the place. Don't get me started on the Reva and Luke nonsense.

If this show had a fully solid script this could have been something special. I'm shocked they went into production with a script so lacklustre. But Kathleen Kennedy has been an awful leader on this franchise.

I do hope they leave it here though. They've already stretched things with the Leia and Obi-wan stuff.

the fact that not once but twice Obi-wan didn't finish Vader off is one of the dumbest things ever.

It's nonsense like that why they should avoid going back to this stuff.

Obi-wan took out beyond flabby and sick level maul but let darth survive.

Nice ending tbf, Baby Leia was grinding my gears though. I think they chose the toddler actress so that she might become the new hot selling toy.

The duel was :ahh:

Reva doesn't got it. Gonna be a bum ass show. They should skip that and work on an epic thrawn series. Tbh, they've fukked up things so bad that they should do stand alone stories that aren't in their updated EU. Like base thrawn on one/some of those epic books. Because it's gonna be tough to explain away how he escaped space whales.

Breh, it's literally a prequel series. What did you expect lol? :heh:

They can't retcon the OG trilogy because then Disney HQ would get burned down to the ground by furious SW nerds.

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.

Well yeah, from a meta standpoint Vader obviously can't die :heh: I"m just saying there's no in-story justification for Obi-Wan letting him go again. It was basically PIS (plot induced stupidity). They wrote it in a way where the protagonist had to do something that didn't really make sense just to fit canon.

They could have done something like have Palpatine/Inquisitors show up to help Vader (forcing Obi-Wan to flee) instead of just having Obi-Wan let him go.

I mean the in-story reason is he has no reason to kill him. Anakin in the flashback said mercy doesn’t defeat enemies vs defense of life. He was never chasing Anakin in this series.

Anakin is still fighting Obi-wan. Obi-wan is worried about Luke restoring balance. He only came out of retirement to save Leia.

Anakin acting like that dude still mad about a loss 20 years ago while you have moved on with a wife and kids. It just seems kinda pathetic.

How tf did Reva survive getting stabbed by Vader with no medical care? How tf did she get off that planet? She must have used Instant Transmission to get to Tatooine or some shyt cuz this ain't making no sense
:dahell:

Darth maul got sliced in half, fell in a dumpster and survived


If every start wars got judged with modern eyes it wouldn’t have made it past episode iv

Not to mention that thematically, this whole shyt with jedis is basically realizing that violence and light saber duels is not the wave. Remember in the end it's not Luke who defeats Palpatine, Vader/Annakin still restores the balance in the end. Jedis don't kill unless absolutely pressed.

disney should have been given the star wars keys to jon favreau. he more than proved himself with the 2 season of mando being the best thing star wars has done since being acquired by disney.
