evobatman posted:Anyone else experience absolutely horrible picture quality throughout the whole show, but especially in the last episode? There was blue glow blowout of the camera, and on the duel planet there was distortion in the background and some sort of horizontal banding or bars showing up. The blacks when Obi-Wan was buried were crushed all to hell and looked more like light gray. On the transport in the beginning of the episode film grain, lighting and ISO(?) varies wildly between shots in the same scene. When Reva is hunting Luke she has a halo around her, which is like the number one thing not to do in babbys first HDR tutorial. Dark scenes were exceptionally grainy, it was awful.

Hakkesshu posted:I still think it's a bit of a leap to put those two things together, but at least it's something. I agree, but it's one of the things I can give a pass to because she's Force sensitive and they're all about following their intuition and making impossible guesses. But what the show desperately needed was a shot of her holding the holothing up and listening to Bail Organa talking about the kids and looking confused for a moment then seeing a lightbulb going off in her head as she makes the intuitive leap. edit: I forgot they did cut straight to Kenobi after she picked up the holothing and showed him sensing something very bad had happened.

The only children Vader would care about, the only ones who Kenobi would be striving to hide from him, would be his own. Just absolute abysmal writing from this tv show.

Maybe this is too dorky, but the premise of the last episode was just too dumb for me. By which I mean: a battleship is chasing a little freighter, with all its forward guns concentrating on blowing the freighter to bits. And the people on the freighter are debating how they're going to get out of this for like 20 minutes. I had no idea Star Destroyers were so lovely.

Also there wasn’t a single transport that could have gone after the refugees while Vader and the destroyer went after Kenobi, or vice versa? This show was moronic

I rewatched last night and while they are under fire inside it's treated like it's a mild thunderstorm outside and Leia is comforting a child to relax while under fire from a massive Star Destroyer. The tone was way off. E: Reminded me of the airport scene in Godzilla 2014 with the guy relaxing the kid cause the train lost power but they have a realistic response of a giant monster and the military shooting around them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZMKMoPpVAo

FlamingLiberal posted:Jedi Fallen Order is just a much better version of this exact same story (Jedi in hiding has to reconnect with the Force and regain his powers in order to do a thing). if they absolutely had to make an Obi-Wan series set in between episodes III and IV, they should have just told a self-contained story about Obi-Wan coming out of hiding to protect Force-sensitive kids from the Inquisitors or whatever, and limited Vader and any other characters from the OT to the periphery. but making the whole thing revolve around OT nostalgia is perfectly in line with the frequently bankrupt way Disney has managed the Star Wars IP but hey, it wasn't as boring as Book of Boba Fett, at least!

The rest of the episodes looked fine, but the last episode, and in particular everything on the freighter that was being chased, was grainy as gently caress. Looked like it was overexposed or artificially brightened or something.

Well yeah, but there isn't really a moment in the show where he gets his majo back. Thats why its like a Jedi Knight 2 - he has to do the first level with just a blaster and then progress through the plot a bit to unlock his old force powers again.

Oh yeah definitely with the similarity to a video game, I was just wondering if I'd forgotten a scene where Obi-wan tells someone he's had his force-phone-line disconnected, to which the answer is: maybe?

Star destroyers are typically crazy well armed on the broadside but don't have good rear or forward guns. They're intended as poo poo that fights capital ship to capital ship instead of chasing down single frigates. Now as for why the imperials keep deploying them without y'know, cruisers or adequate TIE support. That's because the imperials are loving stupid.

As with nearly everything else in the series, that scene provides an origin story for a popular ST character: the extremely slow-speed space chase that doesn't really make any sense, from Episode 8.
