Ooooo…that sucks. 😟

That scene with Vader about to kill Reva was freakin’ awesome. Scared the shit out of me. And it screams classic Vader.

Except when he didn’t kill her hah. He ends up being soo impressed that she is tracking them that it seems in the last episode that Vader actually couldn’t get to Obi-Wan through the flames. Everyone was saying “he meant to let him leave, he’s got something smart up his sleeve”. Turns out Vader failed just to force grab weak Ben one more time and drag him over again. But Reva is the super “clever” one…even Vader is just relying on these bumbling Inquisitors to do what he should be dealing with on a very personal basis.

Sorry I don’t like what they are doing with any character in this thing.

The rumours of a season 2, or some other kind of Kenobi story be it a movie or a spiritual sequel in any way, have me very worried. Surely they can’t involve Vader or have Obi-wan leave Tatooine again, once was already pushing it. And it also means a return to all the people asking for Maul to appear, even for Rebels to be de-canonised.

Ewan and Deborah Chow have stated over and over that this show is a contained story with a beginning, middle and end. Ewan even refers to it as a satisfying character arc that transitions him perfectly into the ANH Obi-Wan. Just because the actor has stated in press junkets that he would love to play the character again doesn’t mean they sabotaged this show to squeeze out another season. It’s only six episodes, if they wanted MORE out of him then they missed their chance.

After having watched the first three episodes…personally I’m not entirely sure this is what we asked for in the first place. We certainly don’t need more if it’s all going to be like this with low production visuals and lackluster side characters.

Did he ever say he had never been to Mos Eisley?

Mark Hamill looks fantastic at age 70. He really should get his own Luke show, not deepfake. video game Luke leaves me cold but Mark in the behind the scenes makes me a fan again.

How would he have his own Luke show when he’s older than TLJ and that movie decided to kill him off?

Yeah Hayden mentioning he watched ALL of TCW to freshen up made me wonder if he was thinking the whole time “I wish they let me do that stuff in the films”. Matt Latner got to explore soo many levels of action and emotion with the character.

If Qui-Gon shows up, I hope he starts breaking a few arms Taken style.

Lol, as a force ghost? Ooookay

The question is does he have the same powers as Luke and Yoda did as force ghosts, and if so, does he save Kenobi from certain death. Force ghosts are powerful don’t forget that.

Hah, trying to forget honestly.

I disagree on one hand Threepio being built by Anakin stretches canon to its breaking point. On the other its funny that Anakin become Vader more machine than man and Threepio is very human like, a robot he built. Just like even though it breaks canon Vader being born at the same time Padme dies is a very powerful visual. Its like Lucas was being too clever.

That’s fair, I will say even that I am one of those people that normally won’t care if something breaks canon a little if I like the storytelling and themes at play though with Anakin and Threepio, I feel like even with that comparison it’s mostly bandages at best for what is pretty decently big wound. There are bigger issues though that I’m willing to concede to.

But i don’t by the poetry it rhymes stuff. Or whatever some fan created online to describe the movies. There is visual symmetry and continuity, almost accidentally at times due to Lucas recycling ideas. But the most interesting aspect to me would have been Luke and Anakin having similar journey’s that ended up in a different place. Lucas failed in executing that. Anakin’s turn and his friendship with Obi-Wan are completely bungled, rushed or skipped over. The Opera scene was interesting, that is a seduction to power and evil. But the whole join the dark side to save Padme doesn’t work. Not sure what other answer to Anakin’s turn Lucas could have done. But it should have been like what was described in the OT, and the return of the jedi novelization.

I definitely would agree with that. Like I said, the prequels are in desperate need of simplification. The focal point of this story feels like it should be Anakin and how he’s a good honest person that gets manipulated by the Dark Side but the movies focus so much on setting up other elements, at times pointless side-quests and overdoes it on Anakin being such a good person before he turns that it means his evil switch has to be flipped to 100 real quick to where it’s almost unnatural.

I always thought it was weird that Anakin required no proof from Palpatine for him just to jump to Sith and start killing everyone in the name of saving one person in his life. Selfishness isn’t really being “manipulated”. If only George had written in a moment where Palps showed some sort of healing effect from his power it would have been more believable to “click” something in Anakins brain. He just drops to his knees in weak desperation based on a claim from someone who turned into Freddy Krueger.

And even though he had conflict with Mace there was no reason why he would hate EVERY SINGLE Jedi monk and the innocent padawans. When he says “From my point of view the Jedi are evil” it has no base to it. There’s plenty of reasons why I consider ROTS just as convoluted as TROS, but it would have been saved if there was a compelling, relatable dilemma for Anakins turn. Oh well.

Something tells me the “Disney machine” isn’t going to be capable of what even the comics can pull off with a show entirely focused on an antagonist. Just look at how sloppily they handled Boba Fett.

One thing that is very frustrating about some of George’s changes to the movies is how they are made in isolation, without concern for continuity between shots. For example, I get why he wanted Jabba’s palace door to look bigger, so that it’s more grand-looking, but he didn’t account for the interior shots where R2 and 3PO enter the palace. For the uninitiated, it would look like either the door suddenly got smaller, or the characters suddenly got bigger. Thankfully, Adywan is keeping the original shot.

Of course in this case it’s JJ’s change, not George’s

What do you mean? JJ Abrams hasn’t touched the OT films.

But JJ’s team added the bunk to the Falcon and the invisible room to the Emperor’s Throne Room, they’re saying.

He or she was referring to the change on the ROTJ blu ray where George made Jabba’s Palace doors bigger on the outside. Then they replied that George didn’t make the change, JJ did. Considering Abrams wasn’t even associated with SW yet I found the comment very confusing.

They were changing the topic back to the JJ changes (Falcon bunk/Secret room).

Weird. Hah

I’ll be skipping this and I enjoyed the Mandolorian behind the scenes. The BOBF was just so pathetic to be reminded of the 100% wasted potential.

There’s always the forums at Theforce.net if you just want to gush over everything and anything SW related. They even squash out those who disagree with anything SW related. Where each episode of the BOBF got a 10/10 rating. No point in having super long rants here trying to make people think like you and accept things like you…there’s a different purpose to this website. If someone “doesn’t see the point” with in-depth documentation of the last 42 years of SW then I can’t imagine why they would stay and post on here at all.

There are other forums if you just HAVE to go into a 2,000 word reply to validate your personal feelings. Just saying.

Well…that seems like “reaching” to make sense of it all. But that’s just me…🤔

I’d also say that “unforgivable” is a strong word to use in the context of a movie franchise. Cheating on your wife with her best friend or stealing money from your family would be “unforgivable,” not doing divisive things with legacy characters.

Hah, dude you have a rough time with context don’t you? This is a movie forum for nerds to over analyze and discuss ridiculous details…we are absolutely allowed to say “unforgivable”. Know where you are hahah.

…in 10 years people will have forgotten the sequel characters.
And that’s the real tragedy.

Tragedy?
Natural disasters, genocide, terrorist attacks, global pandemics - those are tragedies. Fictional movies are entertainment. Star Wars isn’t a series of documentaries.
I’ve been waiting 40 years to see Star Wars the way I watched in the theater the summer of 1977. It’s unfortunate that I never will again, but it’s hardly a tragedy.

A tragedy of visual storytelling…pretty sure it’s not meant to be compared to “real life” tragedies. And in that regard I also consider the ST a tragedy.

“You just don’t understand George Lucas”

Boy you ain’t kidding. Ever since he thought we would all find it funny to have fart and poop jokes from a bumbling fool in SW there was HUGE misunderstanding.

This was a great comedy show. I loved Boba Fett starring as Darth Scrotum.

Hey, don’t make fun of people’s looks, okay? There are a ton of valid complaints about the show, but “Temuera Morrison is ugly” isn’t one of them.

I think he was referring to his heavy makeup during the flashback sequences to depict Sarlacc damage.

Oh yeah, that was kind of scrotum-looking. Still not as scrotum-looking as Palpatine in the second half of ROTS though.

Scrotum is a scrotum??? Haha

I thoroughly enjoyed the lightsaber duel between Obi-Wan and Anakin on Mustafar and still do to this day.

What’s wrong with loosening up and enjoying some spectacle? This is an adventure after all, not some psychological thriller.

Well a spectacle without any feeling to back it up is a boring thing. What may have been “neat” for 2005 audience’s grows stale over time.

Looks really good so far…hopefully it can wash that awful taste of BOBF out.
