( Major spoiler alerts- stop reading if you haven't watched them yet )


I watched episodes 1, 2 and 3 last night. Boring and stupid. Obi-Wan, 10 years after Episode 3, is a pathetic Jedi, who seems old and frail. Really unbelievable. He prefers using a blaster over his lightsaber? Vader easily defeats him in a lightsaber battle, and he can't counter the Force grip and choke that Vader put on him??? It makes Episode 4's lightsaber battle look good, and also makes Vader's statement regarding "I was just the learner, now I am the master", not make any sense. This series is a pathetic joke. It's making the Han Solo movie look really good. This is the worst Star Wars cannon show/series/movie, that I have ever seen 👎👎

PS
Princess Leia is supposed to be 10 yrs old. Se looks, sounds, and acts like she's 5-6 yrs old. Really terrible casting

I thought the same thing. I think that the Leia actor is excellent, but she seemed more like 5 or 6 instead of the 10 she is supposed to be. But then I looked her up. The actor turned 10 yesterday. So she was probably 9 1/2 when filming. Just looks extra young for her age.

like I said...
1) Mcgregor and Christiansen already did an audio-book / radio play variant
set between Episode 3 and 4...
2) "Blink" and you miss some of it,
just skip to the time signatures and intersplice
elements from Blazboros or SpiderMatt,
Rogue One etc...

Thats the thing,
they don't tell the main actors,
what they are filming in Second Unit,
and, so they don't see the all-virtual-set elements
because the actors in first unit
don't apparently have veto over the editing room or,
any degree of producer/creative control etc.

I also think that McGregor is also saying
"Look, because of how serious things are in the Real World,
we can't really tell a "Grim-Dark" story between
Episode 3 and 4 right now,
but, because we're getting older, it was felt
"Franchise Fatigue" and, "its now or never",
so, they are trying to tell the story
but be respectful of the contemporary events

that's the "Too Many Cooks" factors going on.

Whoa, Kenobi got a little grim dark
I mean, I have read a lot of the books
especially "Last of the Jedi" / "Rise of the Empire"
but, I never saw that grimdark coming.

Haha, classic,
I am unsure if snowspeeders can just 'hover' like a helicopter
or really, if they only do that if they are landing mode,
but I get what you mean, Mando.
i think they're an anti-grav "ionocraft" kinda speeder, so,
I think they can kinda hover in ideal conditions.


There are other, more prominent like 28minutes of the episode issues
which aren't in the Jude Watson Book Series
"Jedi Apprentice" or "Last Of The Jedi" etc, or "Rise Of The Empire",
which are more of an issue though,
if you just use the time-skip method, you can re-edit it by playing 4 or so minutes here and there,
which, doesn't help with their viewership ratings where they have put the 'good bits' hehe.
essentially anything referencing The Mandalorian, SW:Rebels etc,
is truncated in favor of
the ~2018 Radio Play which had Hayden Christiansen and Ewan McGregor in it anyways,
like the SW:Episode 4 A New Hope Radio Play etc.

Well said, CrazyBirdMan.
new characters is awesome stuff. Just, reboot the NJO series,
delete the Vuuzhan Vong, but retain Darth Krayt.
Rogue One was essentially, "Jedi Knight / Dark Forces", but, with
Capn' Andar and Gynie-Also as Jan-Ors, same diff really as Dark Forces (which the game already had FMV cutscenes hehe)

Just saw the last of this season of "Obi Wan" / "Rise Of The Empire".
I'm enjoying that, and definitely think they have another ~10-20 years gaps.
Episode 3 finishes 20 years before Episode 4,
so, that's my pet peeve is, they are rushing a lot,
they jump around in time a lot in this season,
you are gish-galloping over 10 years or so...

A LOT of stuff can happen in that 20 year span.
I'd take that After SW:V "The Splinter of the Minds Eye"
and set it sorta 8 years BEFORE SW:IV etc,
change a few of those elements around because, we are deleting the Vong from ever having had existed muahahaha

Still recommending you check out that 2018 radio play version more than this show,
as the voice acting in that radio play was quite awesome and it goes well with
the radio-dramatization radio play of SW:IV.

still, fun stuff for seeing some elements which are clearly
from Obi Wan: Last of the Jedi and
Jedi Apprentice,
it was a fun season overall.

Massively disappointed about "Tachi Station" not being described in depth
as being "Siri Tachi" as in,
Obi'wans Friend from The Jedi Apprentice series etc.
(Who had her own spinoff adventure comics etc).

Darth Vader doesn't look quite right either,
great that its actually Haden in some of the scenes,
but, for some of the sequences, it's not quite right.
That works though as, in the books etc, it said Darth Vader iterated suits so,
this suit is closer to that shorter suit.
but there again,
my build using a rubber-mask to make the metal for a DEVTAC Darth Helmet,
and putting that on a PETMAN mk 9 Series,
it doesn't quite look right either.
But, the voice is getting reasonably close to those bass-tones of JEJones.

I thought that they might do the "Iron Man" style arc,
where Darth Vader had robo-darths so he appeared to be in 10 places at once,
(Until after the Dark Trooper stuff failed, and they figured out how Darth was telepresencing the facsimiles)
