    It was good. Predictable and slow like all the episodes. It's just refreshing to see them tell a Star Wars story for adults. Movies have to be big, mindless, action filled, nostalgia affairs to appeal to the widest audience. TV/Streaming is made for stuff like this. This is treatment they should have gave Obi-Wan.

    I think this trailer gives away every possible surprise you could see in the movie. Look this character is in it too and here's their cool costume. Only thing that could be kept secret is who the real enemy is. Trailer suggests it a conflict between Wakanda and Namor but you there's bound to be someone else pulling the strings.

    They could have trimmed the first 3 episodes to 2 but overall I'm enjoying the pace and world building. This is a more mature psychological thriller over an exciting adventure. I hope they bring back the private security goons.

    Deputy inspector Karn is going to take the same path as the villain in Bridal Mask. That's a K-drama from several years ago. In it the well meaning but over his head villain slowly becomes a vicious and ruthless psychopath.

    You know you don't have to share every little TV spot and every single pic for this or any other series. Anything news worthy will be in the main trailers. These spots are often just re-edited footage that's already been shown.

    Help me figure something out. I'm watching Moulin Rouge One a Star Wars Story for the 2nd time since seeing it in the theaters. Over the course of a decade (or whatever) Le Chiffre has been forced to make the Death Star operational. Why didn't he just refuse? His wife was killed, and their daughter escaped at the start of the movie. There was nobody left for the Empire to hold hostage to force him to do anything. Prior to the start of the movie, he and his family were living in hiding. That suggests he knew his knowledge was invaluable to the project and was doing his best not to be found. Without his help would there even be a Death Star? What was stopping him from refusing complete his work and not jumping off edge to bottomless pit that's a part of nearly every Imperial facility?

    Maybe they're going to use the budget that going to be spent on Batgirl's post production towards replacing Ezra Miller in that Flash movie.

    Give me a VF-1A Mass Production Type or a VF-1J Milian Jenius.

    That's too many episodes for Disney's budget and it's writers to maintain quality. They lucked out with season one of the Mandalorian. Every other show could have really benefitted from having shorter seasons.

    I've got my only 3 framed and empty 4th frame for when I get another. Hallways are made for hanging posters.

    I placed an order for it. $300 was too high in my opinion but I consider all 4 of the unlocks to be worth $100. Leaving $200 for base Hiss and Driver. That's still over-priced by $100! These aren't being made in mass retail numbers and the Hiss is my default favorite Cobra vehicle. Now the kicker $22 Shipping. Come on! For a $300 purchase they can't provide free shipping?

    Not a big fan of a bunch guns everywhere most of those will stay in the box if I get one. I want the 4th unlock to be another figure but I'm afraid it will be a cardboard diorama.
  13. Roy Focker
    I'm waiting to see the add-on goals. $300 is a bit too much for base item.

    Batman & Joker = Obi-Wan & Vader.

    On the plus side they kept kid Luke's lines to a minimum. Kid Leia was very precocious and we all remember kid Anakin. Kid Luke seemed like a real kid cause they didn't give him much.
  16. Roy Focker
    But in Empire he thought Luke was a threat and should never be allowed to become a Jedi. It was Vader who suggested turning Luke to their side. Then it became the Emperor's idea. This series ends with Obi-Wan in a position of strength. As far as Palpatine and Vader knows he could be taking steps against and if they followed up on Reva's activities they'd learn about the kids too. While I'm at it. You'd think the final cameo would greet Obi-Wan with an apology for guessing wrong abour Anakin being the chosen one. You were only a Padawan and I asked you to teach this troubled kid to become a Jedi? My bad.
  17. Roy Focker
    Exactly it makes no sense character wise for both of them to ignore it. Obi-Wan is alive, he has video game level forces powers, he has access to a network that smuggles Jedi and force sensitives to safety = Threat.

    Okay I was half right. Overall, this series was unneeded and pointless. It was nice to see him as Obi-Wan again. If they're going to do that it should have been Obi-Wan on a quest that is unrelated to the Skywalkers and the Jedi. Hint that he and Vader almost saw each other again but never let it happen. Their final clash means more when the last they fought was almost 20 years ago. Now the stupid. You'd think there would be some investigation into all of Reva's activities. She had a child kidnapped to lure Obi-Wan and later brought this child to an Imperial base? Who was this child? Let's go pay a visit to Alderaan. There's always going to be some continuity issues when you revisit things, but these issues shouldn't break entire movies. When faced with grand continuity errors your solution should be to have all these characters just decided to deal with it later and it slipped their mind. Especially when some characters are obsessed with destroying all traces of the Jedi. Now that they know Obi-Wan is still active they aren't going to let it go. They could have had Obi-Wan fake his death and that would make more sense. I found Obi-Wan goodbye to Leia to be both touching and funny. She's going to grow up to become a hero that defeats the Empire only to mother a monster that's as worst as her own father.

    It must have first happened during the production of the Last Jedi. There are some interesting ideas in that movie. It also starts with humor more in the spirit of a Marvel movie. The first version of Justice League that came out was heavily influenced by the tone of the MCU. These others project suffer when they try to make them feel like a Marvel movie and trade making a good story for a chance to promote the next spinoff series. Sometimes they can make a winner like the 1st season of the Mandalorian. Even then they'll screw it up by later focusing too much on a few elements that the public enjoyed.

    Prediction ‐ Last episode will feature Reva trying to kill Luke. Expect dialog such as: "He's an innocent child!" "I was innocent too! He took everything from me. Now I will take everything from him too!" Kid Luke will witness a Light saber fight and will even meet Leia. Somehow none of this will mess with continuity.

    Episode 5 was predictable and still didn't look cinematic. If only they took another year for writing, cut the running time and give it a bigger budget. Make it a 90- minute movie instead of a multi-episode season. A short story that lets you revisit this character without causing continuity issues or look to cheap. I think I just described Solo a Star Wars Story. Even that movie could have been good. Not sure if that part of episode 5 was a flashback or a Jedi mental fight between Anakin and Obi. Seemed to take place around Attack of the Clones because Obi referred to Anakin as a Padawan. They didn't de-age Hayden so he looked about 40 and Obi had a cheap looking wig.

    Episode 4 was pretty much the rescue and escape from Episode IV a New Hope. Leia is able to defend against Vader's interrogation because she already experienced the Imperial treatment in this episode. Vader learned be crafty because of what he learned here. After this series Leia should be on the Empire's version of the FBI watch list. Her role in the Rebellion prior to the movie would be impossible as the Empire knows she has a history with rebel movements since she was 10 years old. They would be watching her every move.

    I still have to finish this game. Died on a boring level twice and haven't picked it up since. Multiplayer mode was fun.

    Watch Andor will appear in the 2nd half and hijack the show from Obi-Wan to promote his series just like Mando did with Fett.
  25. Roy Focker
    Similarities/Differences between Kenobi and Book of Boba Fett. Both feature a fan favorite character. Both were written as smart in the movies but dumb in their TV series. Luckly other characters are just as stupid. At least Kenobi does stuff. Which is nice. The writing is bad but I'm fine as long I get to see him acting as Kenobi and doing Jedi stuff. Boba didn't do much in his show and it was hijacked by Mando. What are the chances they pull a Mando and Ahsoka or Andor shows up in the last episode of Kenobi as a way for Disney to promote their shows?
