Vader, episode 3: « I am what you made me. »
Vader, episode 6: « You didn’t fail Anakin. I killed Anakin. »
This fucking show isn’t even internally consistent. It’s incredible how badly written this shit is…
(Just waiting for basic fans to explain « he meant what he is in a physical state not his psychological state. It fits perfectly. It bridges PT to OT perfectly » 😂)
Anakin already identified as Darth Vader by the time he fought Obi-Wan in ROTS, meaning that Vader’s physical state is indeed Obi-Wan’s handiwork. There’s nothing remotely inconsistent about those two lines. It’s Obi-Wan who keeps calling Vader “Anakin”. Vader himself is pretty adamant about that guy being gone, even before he suits up.
I enjoyed this show. It wasn’t a masterpiece, but I don’t think it set out to be. But the vigour with which some viewers will look for “plot holes”, particularly in something as oft-patchy as Star Wars, is getting ridiculous.
Nothing is as ridiculous that people actually defending this failed cheap tvshow. But again I’m glad I can finally move on. If they fuck up something as important as a DIRECT prequel to the most important piece of cultural phenomenon of the last 50 years, I don’t see how Disney can ever do something even remotely watchable.
You like that, good for you. It just ain’t Star Wars : just a mere product to keep subscriptions going on a steaming platform. This is what Star Wars has become. A tv show that bears nothing.
« Star Wars means nothing to me » is what fake Vader could say to fake Palpy.
Hulk nailed it again :
It’s “Star Wars” because it says “Star Wars” on it and Disney owns Star Wars. It may not be the kind of Star Wars you enjoy, and fair enough, but at the end of the day, it’s still Star Wars.
You didn’t like it and that’s okay. But don’t begin with the “plot hole” stuff when it clearly doesn’t hold up. You didn’t even counter my argument - you just moved on to the next hyperbolic reason why we should all hate this show (now it isn’t even Star Wars) and I’m pretty sure you’ll hit me with a third reason when replying to this post.
