I think they were trying to copy The Mando naming convention.

Yeah, that was my idea.

^i prefer when titles are “simple,” so this woulda been what I went with, if it were up to me.

For me, it’s not that I like simple titles, it’s that I like the cohesion of the titles. It feels like they all just fit.
(And not gonna lie, your “the” titles are way better than mine.)

I finally watched Kenobi, despite being very fanfilm like i liked Obi Wan’s relationships with the other characters, especially Leia. I liked him grieving Anakin and realizing Anakin made a choice to be evil, to become Vader. He had to forgive himself. The worst aspect is the inquisitors you could cut them entirely, and just have Vader tracking him with probes or a bounty hunter. Also the lack of Star Warsy music there was none beyond Williams theme for Obi- Wan. The fighting style for the lightsaber duels was wrong and if they wanted it to look OT should have visually followed the style of Rogue One. Design wise it also looked fanfilm from poor choreography, to designs that didn’t look Star Wars. and Obi-Wan not developing a relationship with Luke is a joke. But i do think Ewan and Hayden were good.

Also the shaky cam and lightsabers looked like a fanfilm.

Cinematography and detail were stunning for Blu-Ray.

For a not necessary character Reva holds her own, her wanting revenge on Vader is a believable motivation, despite her evil acts in trying to harm or kill children. They make more sense than Anakin learn the dark side to save Padme, and then him crushing her neck with the dark side because of his posessiveness. Then Padme dying of a broken heart.

I’m watching Andor next.

Hayden and Ewan narrowly saved the show for me. Their incredible acting and then Hayden’s tall frame and Vader walks that made him super intimidating. I thought that exploring the relationship between Anakin and Obi-Wan was really nice and thoughtful, but it didn’t go deep enough in my opinion. Just thinking about the tv show… I mean there is just so much history there. They DEF should have cut all the Inquisitor stuff. Reva is a cool character, but she did not work for this particular show. This show needed to ONLY focus on Vader and Obi-Wan (with a touch of Leia. There is so much history there that needed to be addressed.
