Sounds like a pretty good character to me xD

Yep it didn’t make any sense

Accurate.

So incredibly dumb

yeah she has no redemption ark.....Trilla from Jedi Fallen order was written much better.

I'm not sure if it's still canon, but back in the EU/Legends days, it was *literally* literally the only way they get promoted. The fate of every successful Sith Master is to be eventually killed - and thus succeeded by - their Apprentice. In this way, they believed, each generation would be stronger than the last.

Inquisitors are not Sith though.

@@Havanu81 They're basically Sith. The Third Sister is especially Sithing it up.

@@jasonblalock4429 Why do you think the Sith lost the wars against the Jedi and Republic?

@@GeneralKenobi75 Probably because thinning out your own ranks is far from sound strategy. At least if the succeeding warrior isn't double the strength.

To me, Greig Fraser did a really good job with The Mandalorian's cinematography, but the other series' haven't held up.

Personally I didn't think this was good even for a TV show.

It looks balls for a TV show too. Dreadful show.

Except Loki

I wouldn't know. I've felt Disney was toxic since before Disney+, and I will never give Disney my money. I stopped giving those reprobates my money after Avengers Endgame.

Tbf, Darth Vader is basically forgiven for blowing up a planet, killing younglings, etc. because he threw the Emperor down a chasm. So Sith being easily forgiven if they switch sides is par for the course.

@@jamesscott2043 Well, if he lived ge'd probably go to jail or get the death sentence.

@@jamesscott2043 technically darth Vader didn't approve of the death star and hated it and he also didn't authorize the destruction of alderaan, scarif and jedha. That was only tarkin and krennic.

And Anakin Skywalker? You forget the billions of dead he is responsible for? Literally the only person in the universe who mourned his death was Luke.

Reva: where were you when the young kings were getting slaughtered? Obi: idk I was slaying Grevious and when I returned and saw what Anakin had done, I hunted him down, cut off three of his limbs and left him for dead. So sorry about that. 🙄

yeah I had to put that on pause for a bit to let that one settle before the next joke.

@@notusingmyname4791 What happened to Fifa? Same thing?

Yeah not like anyone survived being cut in half for years with no care or anything

Maul got bisected and still lived through pure anger. A “desire for revenge does wonder for the will to live” to survive a stab seems mild in comparison.

And Vader survived being burnt alive through pure vengeance for obi-wan

Qui-Gon over here like, tf man.

"No one's ever really gone"

I really wanted someone to discipline that little girl.

Also somewhat ironic - since she was the daughter of Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, she essentially WAS royalty (at least, Hollywood roualty).

And then he kenobied all over Anakin !

Looks like I Obi Won.

i read this in George Lucas's voice

His ROTS performance was George. I do blame him for AOTC. One word...rapey.

Same. Love Hayden Christensen

In all fairness, Anakin Skywalker acted just like the kind of overly emotional creep that would become Darth Vader.

Lucas’ writing and direction

His acting was bad too. He did a good job this time tho!

Yeah I feel like Hayden's awful acting in the prequels were due to Lucas's terrible script and directing.

I love Vincent Adultman. I was literally thinking that during the scene!!! I love you guys!!!! I'm dying laughing

@@TheBlargMarg Or maybe 15 years are passed... It could be both. His body language is good though, I know because it was great in the Italian dub, I never experienced how bad it was until I watched it in English.

He didn't sign on to the prequels to play Vader. He knew he was playing Anakin.

Not really… he had 2 scenes. They really should have shown more

Slap Darth Vader on anything and anyone will overlook anything

Not everyone...but many

@@tylerjelinek4845 **cough** Rogue One **cough**

Pretty late in the game to come to that conclusion, but glad you did. I stopped watching this garbage series halfway through the first episode. Just because its star wars doesnt mean you have to like/watch it. In fact, boycotting bad shows/movies is probably the best way to get better content out of these clowns. Like what happened to cowboy bebop. The sw franchise would never cancel like that, but maybe theyd start putting a little more thought into it.

It's okay to get excited about bringing back your favorite characters, but it doesn't mean you agree with an incoherent plot just to have it, in the SW universe there are many topics that were never officially addressed, it would be interesting to see them better explained, you can reopen a story without losing continuity, BUT they never do it well, they go the easy way of assuming that it's not a big deal and that's why they ruin plots and characters

Don't forget the writers!

No. Blame them all.

I mean the actors who don't have the spine to say no annoy me

@@tamberlame27 Agreed. Very disappointing

Star Wars (Disney) had taught me how not to make movies period.

Ya, really makes the end of her story nonsensical...she gives up her wicked life, tries to kill Vader, and then chases Baby Luke in order to...prove her worth to Vader again by capturing him?

Even worse, the show tries to justify her arc by "redeeming" her for saving one child.

Seems like it would have made more sense for the story for Obi-Wan to team up with her while they are both running from the Inquisitors. Obi-Wan sees in her a path to redemption for him to guide another Jedi. You could have the tension of her driving anger and him trying to focus that to keep her on the light side.

@@franciscodanconia4324 I legit thought that was what was going to happen. The whole, "he won't see you coming because he is focused on me", then Obi peaces out, lmao

@@sbrown137988 Like mass-murderer Darth Vader being redeemed by saving his own child from death. Like patricide and mass-murderer Kylo Ren being redeemed by... something, I only watched the first of those but I am sure it was equally philosophically stupid.

I didn't watch the show, but I have a feeling it's in part because Disney is trying for mass appeal. Part of that mass appeal is appealing to people who've never seen the original Star wars or maybe even the prequels. I know, heresy. I feel like if you pretend you've never seen Star Wars Obi-Wan gets better. Maybe. Seems like a general family appeal thing. For more hardcore star wars fans you're not going to get much out of it and you're probably going to be annoyed. I just was never interested in the first place.

Ewan Mcgregor is a legend

@@chasehedges6775 He is a legend, but at the same time it usually doesn't take much.

@@chasehedges6775 he was until he jumped on the “let’s accuse ‘em of racism” bandwagon.

I’m not a huge fan of Haydren’s Anakin, but he is an incredibly good Vader. He’s a good actor on the whole.

Bring back the STARE music montage!

It's notable that the best scene he and Portman had together was the scene in "Sith" where they sense each other across the city and don't say anything.

I thought Hayden did a good job tbh for what he had to work with. His Vader scene was the best.

All you have to do is compare Samuel L Jackson in the prequels compared with what he has done in every other movie ever. That tells you the problem was not with the actors.

I completely agree with this. I do like Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan and Young Leia was great, but… yeah, it’s hard to get invested when these are the characters who are in danger (oh, and hey, let’s endanger Young Luke just for kicks). Star Wars *really* needs to step away from the Skywalkers.

Right? When the miscellaneous female care-giver/super ballsy badass killed herself with a thermal detonator it barely made a dent. She had no backstory and I wasn't at all invested in her. It feels so nakedly manipulative now.

That’s what I was saying while watching this. Everyone is protected by plot amour so there is only so much the writers could come up with. I don’t know if I want season 2 for this reason, despite this been my favourite series

But when Wade died I was devastated.

It didn't help that they had zero skill at writing tension - Kenobi shouldn't have found out that Vader was still alive until he faced him but like a little child sharing what a present is before it can be opened, Reva had to blab, thus what should have been an epic reveal of Vader sharing that he was Anakin was just Kenobi stumbling around in the dark, making the worst escape attempt since OJ Simpson.

Only thing they should have admitted was that people didn't dislike Reva because she was black, the character itself was bad. Disney always pulling the race card.

Sorry, I found both her acting and her character in general infuriating. What a swing and a miss. (Imo).

@@crankfastle8138 the actor was terrible, and storyline mediocre.

Agreed. Plus, whenever anyone makes a fair criticism, we get grouped in with the toxic ones.

The people defending obi-won are just too annoying and loud to ignore....when I say ignore I mean laugh historically at the their flawed ideals.

Its called “Generalizing” and “bad apples”

He should of said, "It's a little late, stupid. Jar Jar is smarter than you."

Tbf we don’t know how many people she’s killed over the years. The worst we saw her do was chop a lady’s hand off and try to torture Leia, which admittedly, is BEYOND EVIL

@@Arander92 We know what Inquisitors do for a living and we know that those who don't do their job get murdered or worse pretty quickly, so smart money says that she murdered more innocents than Anakin murdered younglings. Let's also not forget all of the force sensitive children she's brought back over the years, most of whom would have died horribly during their training or in some horrific experiment carried out on them by the Emperor. She didn't even redeem herself at the end, instead, all she did was choose not to murder Luke - I choose not to murder my neighbor's kid every day so am I a saint? Unlike Vader, she didn't sacrifice anything or actively show any remorse, instead, she simply showed a single moment of empathy and decided not to murder Luke - she is not redeemed in the least bit, instead, for that she'll need to start working to undo the evil she's inflicted, feel genuine remorse for her actions and vow to turn to the light. She hasn't done any of those things so the reality is that if Ben had killed her like he should have then she was going straight to whatever the Star Wars version of hell is.

Maybe they’re just glow rods 🤷

@@tbomb887 Except shouldn’t you at least confirm they’re dead?

I laughed out loud there too!

That is totally different because she got bullied because of her race and even before the 1st episode streamed

Bonus points for ignoring the context of the scene

What was silly about it though? Sure, maybe a bit cliche but it didn't particularly stand out.

@@HellDuke- because, this guy named Obi-Wan, he was there when Leia was born. Like literally the first person to hold her.

Honestly, compared to the rest of the bad writing, it's practically nothing.

He was being sarcastic if I recall the scene correctly. He knows she's ten but she doesn't talk like your average ten year old. She's got a lot of sass in her.

It really solidifies Obi-Wan telling Luke that Darth Vader killed his father, from a certain point of view.

It certainly puts a new spin on the 'From a certain point of view' argument, turns out the POV is Vader's

It makes me rethink two of Darth Vaders lines from Episode IV. "I sense something; a presence I've not felt since..." that's not Obi-Wan, that's Anakin resurfacing. "When I left you I was but the learner, but now I am the master" are Anakins first words since Darth Vader "killed" him. Because last time Darth faced Kenobi, he was already a master.

Same.

It really changes a lot of RoTJ

Disney really cant accept morally grey characters- heck just villains with principals. Like for fucks sake, either stop having them be monsters or stop trying to redeem them

@@MrGemHunter nope they all have a tragic backstory that is tragic. So, so tragic. Don't you feel bad for the monster they were made to be? It's tragic.

Because modern female "villains " in Disney movies are never actual villains anymore. The reason they are bad is always by no fault of their own and usually because of a white man, and then they always get some stupid half assed "redemption " by doing nothing and become the greatest person ever even though they have usually been mass murderer's.

@@newtpondskipper LMAO. But the sad thing its come to a point I can never be sure you're joking or not.

The redemption is always so lazy. Main character just excuses and justifies their actions and now it's OK. Wanda was a monster that should have been sent to some magic prison. And reva shouldn't have even survived ep5.

Including being told that it's your fault when they hurt you

Kennedy's Lucasfilm is making an art out of gaslighting the fans.

“This show wasn’t good.” “And now you’re a RACIST?!?!”

When the thing you love fucks you in the wrong way; "You were the chosen one!"

@@bekkfxst having criticism of the show is not racist ,calling the actors racial slurs and attacking them because of their race is racist

Obi Wan couldn't finish Vader off right then because Vader needed to be available later to strike Obi Wan down so that Obi Wan could become more powerful than Vader could possibly image. Plus Vader needed to be available to throw the Emperor down that shaft thus brining balance to the Force. Even if it was only temporary.

@@gregorymoore2877 lol

My big complaint is how powerful Vader is in this show. Compare him in this show to A New Hope. I can excuse Obi-wan because he was never trying to defeat Vader in ANH, he was just stalling for time so Luke could escape. He lets Vader kill him, and makes sure that Luke sees it. But Vader? What canonical explanation is there for why he's so much weaker and slower in 10 years?

Feel bad for the actors

@@danielroden9424 I think they just want to keep Hayden’s performance original

That did make me raise an eyebrow seeing obviously 41 year old Hayden Christiansen in prequel mode. I got over it quickly tho

I do think they just wanted to preserve his performance, so they did what they could with the lighting to soften both his and Ewan's features for that scene. I don't mind it honestly. Messing around with him digitally would just draw attention to the effects.
