Other than “memmber berries” I can’t see why this show would be exciting to the average viewer…or any fan who was wanting something that stands on its own. People are crying over Hayden showing up,.flashing into Vader or just SEEING Thrawn. What else is being highlighted? Where’s the story that had to be told? Fans are declaring it the best thing ever just because they saw Hayden in Clone Wars armor. THAT gets a 10/10??? Like…even if he didn’t say anything all that important or really serve a necessary purpose for being there…it automatically gets high praise?

So far I love the show. The portrayal of Sabine is EXCELLENT!

Does anyone else get the sense that Ahsoka seems like one of the least interesting aspects of the show so far? Maybe it’s just because I feel like all of the other aspects shine so bright, but to be honest, I think Rosario Dawson’s portrayal seems a little dull compared to how we’ve seen Ahsoka in other series. Maybe that’s on purpose? This version of Ahsoka seems a bit more jaded after everything she’s been through. It seems like she has a lot of growing to do in terms of being a master and as a person. Maybe Sabine will bring back her more lively and youthful optimism? I hope so…

What do you guys think?

It’s the direction. For whatever reason, she’s being told to act like that.

Maybe…or maybe Rosario is doing her thing and Dave isn’t the kind of director to question her takes at this point. 🤷‍♂️. We don’t know for sure, but she is boring in her own show.

It’s certain because every character in the show is acting the same way. Everyone is rightfully singing the praises of Ray Stevenson but even he is clearly getting told not to show a lot of emotion.

Well, I mean it’s not “certain” because there is no quote or direct proof to the matter…merely fan conjecture. We do not know the behind the scenes of this show.

Sabine getting lightsaber stabbed, then magically brought back to full health in a “Star Wars hospital” was a HUGE eye roller. I don’t know why they keep doing this to characters.

because Lightsaber stab is not a stant kill, qui gon died because obi wan was fighting with darth maul, there is no way that obi could stop the fight to help him, after the fight quigon was dying but not dead if he got medical help during the fight maybe he would be slive in the saga

Rrrrright. 🙄😁

I woulda done away with the whole “fear of loss leads to evil” or whatever. Instead, I’d rather that Anakin have a god complex and think that he needs to inherit as much power as possible to maintain order across the galaxy. I think that aligns more with the Empire’s values anyways. I would also probably have Obi-Wan be the central character of the PT, rather than Anakin, and have Anakin’s downfall happen at the end of the second movie, and then the third movie is all about Obi-Wan coming to terms with things.

A god complex would be intriguing, there is a foundation for that in AOTC with Anakin conversation with Padme:

Padme: You are not all powerful Ani.
Anakin: Well I should be. Someday I will be. I will become the most powerful Jedi ever! I promise you. I will even learn how to stop people from dying.

In those lines Anakin says he wants omnipotence like a god, and to control death is god like too.

Well that’s where the films went…controlling death was his whole obsession in ROTS.

I don’t know why anyone has their hopes up on this show…given the track record of their writers recently. But I guess even I hope it’ll be cool. 🤷‍♂️

I don’t wish the movie harm, I just know it sucks to be fooled like 8 times in a row but still have “hope” that it’ll maybe suddenly have quality writing and directing. Other than Tony Gilroy, I have plenty of evidence not to trust the rest of the creative and writing departments.

I very much loved it when in TLJ Rey’s parentage is stated to be inconsequential.

Why the fuck did Rey have to be the long lost descendant of a previously established character? Why can’t she simply be Rey Nobody from Nowhere?

I completely agree and I resent J.J. for making that such a ridiculous mystery in TFA (before he retroactively tried to explain it badly). Doesn’t anyone remember the Jedi use to go around the galaxy adopting force sensitive children from parents who were not force sensitive or Jedi at all? It just would have been better storytelling to suggest the Force randomly taps individuals. Keep it “mysterious”.

hey guys i finish andor it is soo good the best thing that Disney made with star wars and it is the best sw show

👌👌

Still, if someone wants to have a bleak rant…let em. Sorry just because you don’t like it means you should call people out and persuade them to stop commenting. Not everything is built for some expanding discussion, just a comment. And like I’ve said if anyone gets “sick of” certain posting on this site…then you have other forum options. I’ve been on this forum since 2004 and only recently has there been this
labeling people “negative Nancy’s” because their Kenobi gushing got challenged or whatever.

I ignore plenty of posts in here that make my eyes roll…I suggest this practice. Ignore it.

Skybatman said:

yeah i watched 5 episodes of this show and did not liked not because was bad or lame or poor made it just because i think is boring and andor is a bland for me just like rogue one good story bland characters

Bland? Far from it…these characters are written deeper than any SW characters yet in live action. But if your bored because no Jedi or mindless action with lightsabers? Yeah you’re gonna have a rough time.

I know I say this too much, but if you’re really that done with Star Wars… why are you still here? It’s pointless to come into these threads every week just to complain about how Star Wars is dead to you, and Disney are a bunch of hacks, and you just don’t care anymore. If you really don’t care, just move on. Find something you actually like.

People still talk about it because it’s fun to talk about stuff

But I can’t imagine it’s fun to talk about something that only causes you pain at this point, and that’s the way a lot of the people I was addressing there seem to react to Star Wars. I’ve said my peace, though.

Wow you just described Therapy and why people need to talk about things. Imagine that…

I use to be frequent on the “jedi council forum” years ago. Then a time came where you couldn’t criticize a single thing without being told you were “negative”. Now all the moderators and most members just gush over any little thing in every bit of SW media. But I didn’t make a post telling them all they were bullies for not respecting my opinion…I didn’t patronize them and demand them to be all accepting of my comments…I just left.

It’s just an internet forum, all sorts of folks with all sorts of perspectives. If you find yourself arguing alot on one then just stop, find a forum that suits your sensibilities with SW, whether you’re too sensitive or not. If you can’t stand the heat…ya know.

That sucks so much. Been a fan of his since he was Titus Pulo in Rome. It’ll be bittersweet seeing his performance in Ahsoka.

The Prequels are awesome because they’re stylistically designed to be that way.

it’s hard for me to explain, so this video explains it for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqnjzVX8EKA

Rick Worley?

You must be trolling? Or you would not have posted that the video was by him, and without saying it was by Rick Worley?

C;mon, your first post on an OT discussion forum is link to a video by Rick Worley

I’m not going to speak for the others, but I am commenting on the fact a “new” member’s first and only post on here is that to link to a video, by Rick Worley, and say nothing else.

In a discussion thread about the Prequels. To register and join here and just post a video. And that is it, because they cannot or will not discuss their own opinions. Again, in a discussion thread. That seems spamming, shilling or trolling for Rick Worley to me.

I think it is fair comment by myself. If you disagree, then fine.
 

Can I be honest? Can I be truly, brutally honest?

The attitude of many members of this forum towards those who defend the Prequel Trilogy is reprehensible in my opinion. Okay, this is an OT discussion forum. So what? Does that mean that one can’t be free to defend the Prequel Trilogy? Does that mean that one must only talk badly about those movies? I myself have been the subject of similar criticism in the past, and even though I didn’t say it openly, I was very annoyed by this. Just because I said that the dialogue isn’t as bad as everyone says, I was treated with condescension, and it was very annoying for me.

You all should stop acting like you have absolute truth, because it can be very irritating. Don’t get me wrong, to discuss and criticize other people’s arguments is absolutely okay. But to act like “Yeah bro, sure, you can continue to carry out your wrong opinions, but the rest of us, who are all superior, will continue to say things as they are” is very irritating.

You claim to be a friendly forum where everyone can express their opinions freely, and you even boast to have numerous Prequel fans on here. But paradoxically, every time that a Prequel fan who actually tries to defend the movies pops up, he gets overwhelmed with criticism and condescending, or he’s even accused of being a troll solely because he says things that are different from the common thought on here. It happened to me, it happened to Stardust1138, it happened to other people, and it’s going to happen over and over again, because this place has become an echo chamber.

I suggest you all to grow up and learn to respect other people’s opinions.

I would look up the history of this forum, and respect that history, the members on here, and their point of view based from this. If you choose to be on here as a Prequel fan, then expect to read criticism of them, of George’s choices and actions, the changes made to the OT to make them fit in with the Prequels, the suppression of the OOT, and so on.

Yes, there is “no absolute truth”, just members’ opinions. It is not an “echo chamber” on here, yet it is different from many other websites online, because it is mainly from the point of view of the Original Trilogy. It does not mean that there is no other opinions allowed, but they should be done with “a civility and respect”, according to the About, Help, and Welcome threads, and overall feel of this forum.

That was perfectly put, thank you for doing that. 👏

I hope Mandalorian season 4 goes ahead despite the writers’ strike because I’m curious to see how much worse the writing can actually get.

I think you’d get your wish…writers strike or not.

You would have thought there was a writers strike during season 3…🤔🤔

Oh yeah Ewen also did a line in TROS at the end when she was getting pep talk cameos by a bunch of Jedi right? I can’t watch that thing again to verify 🤷‍♂️.

Mocata said:

You’re thinking about it harder than they did. The TFA voice over Easter Egg and that whole vision scene had no purpose so it’s kind of irrelevant.

Exactly, Abrams was just slinging around random ideas and easter eggs for “neat factor”. Which, as we all know, is all he does. I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that while they were editing TFA Abrams heard Ewen McGregor was nearby and invited him to come take a look at some clips and decided then and there to get him to record a line for the “vision sequence”. Ewen even said he was taken by surprise and had to reremember how to do his Alec Guiness accent. So that just goes to show you how last minute and inconsequential it was.

I mean, there is nothing that their minds will come up with that is so creative and inspiring as to “fix” the ST or the Rey character. Let’s be honest, the best thing that could come from this is for fan editors to make a more palpable “ep.9” to either ignore TROS or take very little from it. 🤷‍♂️ I mean it’s not like Tony Gilroy is writing this…don’t count on them making a home run for the FOURTH attempt in a row…and even if they do, that doesn’t change how sloppy and weak the entire ST is on its own.

Just don’t give obvious A-holes the attention they clamor for…it’s that simple. Keep the conversations to the intelligent minded.

Cameos galore…that’s all we’re ever getting from here on out. Who needs stories and original characters when people freak out on just seeing an animated character in live action?

Yes, please. If a black character or female character

Is there any sense of excitement for this movie? I think Disney may be throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks in regards to buzz and merchandise. Ridley’s character and story were not compelling and this movie bombing would sink the franchise. If it isn’t sinking already.

Some people just want “more star warz” and don’t care about the quality whatsoever. Ya know, the ones who are like “there’s been dumb/goofy stuff in SW before so there must continue to be dumb/goofy logic defying sloppy writing”. So they’re excited hah.
