Kenobi: Trials Of The Master - Fanedit by PixelJoker95 — Page 6

Yeah, Star Wars is broken beyond repair. If nothing else, Acolyte has shown me this.

How people can say that this episode destroyed the canon and at the same time praise Obi Wan is beyond me. My best guess is that they only want to watch flashy images that seem familiar without thinking about it.

Then there is the corner thet gets upset if there are not enough white Cis males in the material… There has been so much wrong with these productions… If this is your leading argument all the time… thats really telling.

And then theres the corner that just praises everything… Which kinda feels like a cult looking at it from the outside…

I mean, I genuinely enjoyed the first two episodes of The Acolyte. And I really don’t have too much of an issue with these witches having a different understanding of the Force. The problem is the whole implication that

Anakin was conceived by the same method shown in this episode. If they debunk this later on somehow, then cool, but I have a feeling they won’t.

I mean, I’d say it does line up pretty well with those ideas. The only way in which it doesn’t exactly is the fact that whoever does such a ritual is clearly genetically related to the offspring. So that would make Anakin Palpatine’s son in this chain of events.

The Kenobi series has a lot of good stuff. Ewan back playing depressed Obi-Wan, snarky child Leia, Vader badassery, and the epic final duel. It’s only brought down by some questionable moments and repetitiveness in the story that makes it feel stretched out, so it’s prime material for a condensed fan edit.

I think this show has next to nothing worth salvaging. But I’m just interested in seeing some of the new material he created for it. Like Obi-Wan discovering Anakin is alive while at the cantina, just the way it was in the far, far, superior Kenobi novel.

Some of these scenes could make for an awesome extended ending to Revenge of the Sith, which is probably something I’ll throw together for myself after PixelJoker finishes his edit.

What’s the latest on this, the project has been radio silent for a while now.

Where can I get a link to this version?

Does anyone have a link to pixel’s discord server for this project? I keep reading he tends to post updates there the most. DM please if it’s not permitted to post such things in the comments. Thanks ❤️

Hello. Any news on this wonderful project?

Every time I see this thread get upped a small part of me gets super excited as though “IT’s FINALLY OUT!!!”

But nope, no updates on any of his socials in a while I believe. A comment (maybe on reddit?) that he’s still working on it from a few months ago.

He seems like a good-faith fan editor, and he’s been pretty honest about his progress & delays. I’d bet, at this point, that he’s just planning on waiting a few months for holiday season. Until another update, I’m crossing my fingers for sometime in December.

Interesting thought. Seems like something he’d want to do. Not sure why he wouldn’t announce that though unless he’s afraid it’ll provoke complaints at the added delay. I think just as likely he’s just too busy to complete the project with life and paid work at the moment.

This whole white cis male rhetoric is one of the problems when analyzing a piece of media or a grievous. It is a little deeper than that, I think.
