I originally hoped to get 2 movies out of these 6 episodes, now I’m questioning the possibility of just ONE quality movie edit.

I expected more out of an Obi-wan series, Lucasfilm needed a homerun from their greatest characters, Kenobi and Vader, and instead we get a lazy pop fly to center field. Just my 2 cents.

Here is hoping this community can do something special with this clunker because I have completely lost faith in Lucasfilm at this point. With that being said, it does have its moments, they are just few and far between.

This should always have been one, quality movie. I completely agree. I hope I or another faneditor can bring some joy to you from this mess. This episode worked for me, it didn’t work for you. However, our frustrations are the same and hopefully fanedits can salvage this immense clusterf* of bad/good dialogue, bad/good music, bad/good acting, bad/good action, bad/good character arcs and on and on it goes…

This series could have the tag “It’s bad… and it’s good… but the bad is really bad”. Removing the bad should help tremendously.

AND PS:

I also know that having watched the fanedit many times now (at 1 hour and 26 minutes up until the end of episode 3) without all the horrible dialogue and chase sequences, not to mention The Inquisitors, and an overall increased pace, I am way more optimistic than I was after Episode 2.

I hope that when you see so much of what you dislike gone, be it this or any other fanedit, you will find great(er) joy.

Don’t give up on Obi-Wan. He just needs some help 😄
