Yotsuya, when mental gymnastics, or going down the proverbial rabbit hole, are required to try to explain inconsistencies and stretches like those listed in the OP, it indicates there are indeed issues in the series.
I enjoyed Obi-Wan Kenobi overall; there was much to enjoy in it, but could not help but notice the many issues I listed in the opening post. For me, it affected my appreciation of the show, and gives me concern for future Star Wars content when there are so many noticeable issues in a much anticipated and high profile series. Though everyone’s “mileage may vary” on this, and am happy that many others did enjoy it, regardless of such issues.
It is partly why I look forward to new Star Wars content away from what has come before. With new characters, in new or rarely seen settings, and in new eras. As from a consistency point of view, it has been demonstrated time and time again there is a real problem with adhering to what was actually established in the Original Trilogy.
I don’t require any mental gymnastics. I kept checking off things that explained what had previously required mental gymnastics. But I didn’t see anything that made new ones.
You’ve been told that repeatedly by many people on this forum and you just get defensive and claim they are all incorrect. I think great many things go right over your head.
Stop thinking you live in a world where people can’t have different opinions and both be right. I’m not saying anyone is incorrect. I’m saying I don’t agree. What is going over your head is that I am stating my opinion. I found this series to solve more issues than it caused. I think a great deal of the issues listed here are nitpicking to a high order. That may be what some truly believe, but that is not my opinion and I don’t have to agree.
Dude you just disagree with ANY criticism. You just like to ramble exotic excuses (I’m sure you disagree). But when you claim “I see NOTHING wrong with this series or any of the films” it just makes you come across as a sycophant…meaning you would never notice a flaw even if it slapped you in the face. The odd arguments you keep typing out are just derailing and argumentative for the sake of it. And before you start getting insensitive about this post, I have to mention MANY people have tried to explain things to you and you choose to create silly excuses to pretend you have it all figured out and it’s perfect. I honestly don’t know why you post here sometimes.
I’ll put my Saber on low power and leave this topic. You’re giving the adults headaches.
