rich is also very bad when it comes to star wars. he had one forward thinking thought about TFA just being ok, not great, and one good point about star wars being creatively bankrupt. but that was seven years ago now richie, can't keep coasting off it forever. or maybe you can. he's even got his own little talking about star wars voice i swear to god!

Imagine that Leia chase scene, but instead of having medium sized humanoids chasing her she's fleeing an Ugnaught, a Jawa, an Ewok, and Yoda's mobbed up second cousin Yuigi.

Those reviews back in the day were redemptive, turning those films into something we could enjoy mocking rather than just angrily complaining about. The fact that it springboarded a decade of RLM just sitting around talking about films and being mostly wrong about them is another matter entirely.

Halloween Jack posted:The first scene of the first Star Wars movie is Leia's corvette getting chased down and stopped by a Star Destroyer because it's clearly outclassed. That was the Tantive IV, a vessel that is literally classified as a "blockade runner" because of how fast and manoeuvrable it is. Look at this thing, It's all engines:  But the lovely old freighter that Vader could pull out of the sky and rip apart outclasses an ISD.

I like how the fleeing transport shits out a single person shuttle that is about one third the size of its mothership. Where are all the dozens of refugees sitting if Obi Wan just naffed off with half the living space.

Yeah, that had the shadow of the late edit hanging over it as well. It's not like we haven't seen Obi-wan fly a solo ship.

I will say that there's one very good thing in the Obi-Wan show: the mole guy. I think this is the first time Disney Star Wars has even contemplated why an ordinary schmoe would support the Empire. In live-action, anyway.

After I finished Clone Wars I loaded up episode 3 and it's just insane how much lesser it is than the series. I get it had 6'ish seasons of character development and adventures but even treating Ep 3 as just another arc from Clone Wars the tone and characters are all off. It's just so drat boring and the final fight is a joke.

My wife and I recently started a Clone Wars rewatch and even though the first season isn't the best, it still feels better made and like it has more "heart" behind it than Obi-Wan Kenobi.

But the podrace scene has always slapped, and I've never understood people saying it sucks. It's a cool, fun bright spot in the middle of a particularly boring spot in the middle of the movie. More movies should throw an incredible chariot race in them to spice things up.

Once they get outside and start hopping around on platforms, they start losing me. But when they're inside and just going to town on each other with lightsabers, it's very much "my poo poo". Vintersorg posted:The pod race is absolutely amazing and so well crafted. It's a great way to show off your new tv/sound system too. gently caress it roars!!! Oh definitely. And as much as I love John Williams, the choice to use no music until the very end was great. Just roars of engines, explosions, and screams from soon to be dead aliens.
