I also knew that there was essentially zero chance that two moisture farmers were going to do much damage to Reva, even with her injuries. Then you think Obi-Wan is going to show up just in time to fight Reva, but no, everything's already done by the time he gets there. Sadly no reveal that Beru was a secret Jedi all along

Then you think Obi-Wan is going to show up just in time to fight Reva, but no, everything's already done by the time he gets there. That's the problem with the whole season. Literally the only person who could die was Reva, and the show made it clear in Episode 5 that they weren't going to do that. So nobody was ever at risk, nobody died. All the show can do is tell us something about the characters and it doesn't. In other words: SuperMechagodzilla posted:Aunt Beru pulls out a fuckin assault rifle, then Sheev Palpatine personally shows up to say "everything that happened here was really loving stupid, and we will never speak of it again". The only reason this show was watchable was because I have an hour to cook and eat anyway in the evenings, it comes out on different days to The Orville and The Boys, and Ewan McGregor is an absolutely wonderful actor who for some reason is not done with Star Wars.

i'm not sure it's a good idea to take a franchise based on 1930's Flash Gordon serials too seriously.

Could have not shown Reva at all till the end of the episode and then mirrored the Old Luke / Ben Solo bed time murder misunderstanding from Last Jedi except she disappears before Luke wakes up and sees her. Accomplishes same arc w/o a pointless low stakes action scene and has another "it's like visual poetry" thing for the nerds

evobatman posted:Anyone else experience absolutely horrible picture quality throughout the whole show, but especially in the last episode? The amount of rocks Obi-Wan levitated up behind him was already comical but the fact it was a terribly grainy and compressed looking shot heightened it. As someone else mentioned, I don't think the PS5 version of Disney+ is all that good.

josh04 posted: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?

Unless the slug is a few centimeters wide then what should happen is that it's vaporized harmlessly.

It really does feel that the stormtroopers stationed with inquisitors for the sole purpose of hunting Jedi should have been provided with better tools to deal with said Jedi.

Totally - the Force is heavily influenced by the writing of Carlos Castaneda, even going as far as to steal Yoda's "luminous beings" bit from one of his books, and naming Obi-Wan after Castaneda's Don Juan character.

After liking the first two episodes and increasingly despising the following three episodes, I loved the finale. All of the emotional beats landed and a lot of the action was good. There were a couple of dumb things (send some TIEs or whatever after the transport; use the force, Reva) but those didn't hamper my experience at all.

well they did it ladies and gentlemen. They explained how leia got a blaster holster. We spent decades pondering that mystery and the good boys and girls of the mouse company finally solved it.

I have been a frequent and vocal critic of this show but the thing with the holster was fine. It was just a symbol of her becoming warrior/princess. It didn't strike me as being a specific holster.

Disney-era Star Wars has become so fixated on the Origin of Things that people naturally come to expect it even when it's just a normal character beat.

its absolutely a little ref for the epic nerds. they cut to a wide shot of her dressed pretty much how she dresses in ANH. why would you give this show of all shows the benefit of the doubt in this situation.

Her ANH outfit is a long, flowing robe with a metallic belt and white boots. The outfit she's wearing at the end of Obi-wan is shorter, stiffer/less flowing, has pants, brown boots and a brown belt. It's closer to Luke's ANH outfit than Leia's.

thrawn527 posted:I was wondering this, too. Like, even when Vader insisted they follow Obi-Wan, I kept waiting for the Inquisitor to say, "Can we at least send our poo poo ton of TIEs after the transport ship? No? Okay." Yeah, I thought that was dumb too but look at the Inquisitor's facial expression even when he's defocused, you can see him grimace like "Well, you can't say I didn't warn you" and the Imperial Navy at this point knows at this point it's not really worth arguing with the weirdo in the black mask so gently caress it.

As far as I can tell his only job was constantly telling Obi-Wan that they didn't have enough time to repair the hyperdrive instead of, you know, actually shutting up and helping to fix it himself

I think it's inferred he's gonna go help kickstart the Rebellion with the little sect he has, but yeah, not the best character. Also Between this and Ahsoka in Rebels, Vader really needs to rethink the material his helmet is made of.
