Set up a Vader show that's a weekly comedy where he leaves the armour at home, puts on a Vader tux, slaps on a wig and some make up, and tries to woo an unimpressed Keira Knightley on a series of hot dates in exotic locales each week while an increasingly furious Palps texts him demanding he stop skiving off work.

I... would watch the hell out of that. Vader trying to score with his wife's double would be a hoot.

One place where I feel this show has absolutely fallen short is in the music department. The main theme is the only one that has anything memorable about it and that's just John Williams magic. Everything else sounds so dull or they blast out some indistinct brass sections. Fett had some great tunes and Mando had Ludwig going all out with some absolute banger music. Why can't Obi Wan have good music too.

What bothers me a lot is that you have a show about Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader, two characters with incredibly iconic leitmotifs, and they seem to be going out of their way not to use those leitmotifs. Why?!?

That DICK! posted:yeah the music is by far the most disappointing part. they should be dropping variations on the imperial march and qui gon's funeral and poo poo left and right. The brassy stuff I mentioned does seem to be a variation on the Empire theme from A New Hope but it's not as good. It makes me wish for Rogue One's music and I really don't like that film's music because it sounds like a dollar store knockoff of Williams, but at least it sounds like something instead of nothing.

one of the best parts about Star Wars Galaxies was having the Force theme or the Qui-Gon funeral theme song hit at sunset while you were cruisin' the open fields on your speeder  it was always like 1 of 5 songs and it never got old

That's not happening. They're screening the finale in some theater chains and they're listing 93 mins as the run-time, but that time includes a live Q&A with cast and creatives of indeterminate length.

She potentially stands for the rage of the galaxy's underclasses but is held back by her personal fixation on dragging others down with her. She actually has plans that she enacts. Anakin in the show is just a sadist with a grudge, and Obiwan is just doing whatever. "I'm a big loser and gently caress-up but all these really nice people are being really nice to me  ". He doesn't really do anything but react to random situations.

I still cant get over how Obi Wans whole plan was to goad Reva and leave her to rot. I mean why couldnt he stay behind and help her? the two of them would have a much better chance. He would actually provide the distraction he claims Reva was going to have. Its just such an insanely hosed up thing for him to do, specially when his whole arc is that you cant erase the mistakes of the past, but you can still do the best you can to help those in need. So instead of helping this woman out, someone who he already failed horribly before, he just throws her into the meatgrinder without a second thought or a shred of remorse? How are the writers of this show so loving incompetent

I don't completely accept that not having the guy himself composing means you can't use his leitmotifs at all, even when they would be entirely appropriate and merited. Especially in as cloying of a nostalgia exercise as this show in particular. But I appreciate the alternative perspective on it

Especially in as cloying of a nostalgia exercise as this show in particular. But I appreciate the alternative perspective on it I'm just reminded sort of what happened at SqureEnix with Final Fantasy over the recent years. Nobuo Uematsu was Square's John Williams and over the last decade or so starting with Final Fantasy XIII he kind of stepped aside and let a new generation of composers start taking the lead on projects because he too is an old rear end man now of unreliable health. Fans got in a tizzy for a while because the new composers like Masashi Hamauzu weren't "respecting Uematsu's legacy" enough, ie: writing their own music for the franchise their own way without relying on legacy leitmotifs. And it took a while for fans to come around to the new way of doing things. It's not a complete 1:1 comparison here, but I can see shades of it with folks like Görasson and co trying not to rely too much on Williams' stock and trade and trying to do their own thing with the franchise's soundscape.
