    Fan Service. Good fan service. Still, it was fan service and when you look past the cool stuff it doesn't make sense. Didn't these characters say these words in Episode whatever of the original trilogy? This doesn't match what's happening here. Are we doing a retcon or is this series going to end with everybody hitting their heads and selectively forgetting things?

    Short Spoiler free review. Montage of the prequels almost made me forgot how bad they were. In my head canon the prequels don't exists but a young Obi-Wan looks and acts like he did in the prequels. Same goes with Palps. Highlight of the show is Obi-Wan. Everything else as statement in the above post - Looks cheap. That Tatooine town set was featured so heavily in Book of Boba it just doesn't look good enough. Nothing feels or looks cinematic. Villains have zero personality and lack that evil presence. This might have to do with cheapness of the production. Cheap works for The Mandalorian because that's what it started off as. He wasn't out saving the Galaxy. That show introduced him as struggling bounty hunter of backwater planet. Obi-Wan is a character that has always been in big budget movies. Remember the Young Indiana Jones TV show? Harrison Ford made a cameo in one episode. Single episodes of that show didn't have the same budget as a movie. Imagine if Ford's appearance wasn't just a cameo but he was in the entire episode. Some characters deserve more. I do like the in-universe reason for Obi-Wan's adventure for the series, but these two episodes do raise some questions. Of the did they retcon that? Sorta things.

    I don't know if I feel a connection for any of the characters but I'm liking format. I did miss the problem and solution of the week episodes.

    Looks like they wanted to make a young adult Dungeon and Dragons movie. Realized they don't own it and but then remembered they do own the rights to Willow. Could be fun.

    I got a question about the 1st Top Gun Movie. Maverick got his name for being a maverick. His Superiors sees him acting like a maverick. Iceman thinks he's dangerous. Why wasn't he dismissed from the Navy years before the 1st movie took place? Don't they have regulations and rules on behavior? "Iron-Eagle" was heroic fantasy movie. "Top Gun" was somewhat realistic.

    Watched it last night. The action was great I just wished they used actual people for the pilots.

    I want to see a fictional movie about the making of a UHF Sequel. Staring Weird Al as himself and Daniel Radcliffe as Daniel Radcliffe the actor who has been hired to play him in the UHF Sequel.

    It looks "cheap." Like the Inquisitors look like cosplayers. Characters designed for cartoons first don't always translate well in real life. You don't want to show them in scenes where there's too much light. The cinematographer either didn't have enough time or the budget. It looks like it was meant for TV. I guess that's because it was. I see this trailer and think if only they invested more money.

    Unboxed it last night. Her face doesn't look that bad to me. The pink color isn't noticeable in my dark display cabinet. Place it under a light bulb and yep hot pink.

    Payment request from Ami Ami. Total with DHL is about $176.

    I agree with everything in this article. The show is garbage. Fun to watch only because it so bad. That dark present that they are trying to reverse isn't that much different from the dark present they presented in the 1st season. Edgy stories can be interesting but Star Trek is an optimistic dream of the future. This show isn't that. https://www.thegamer.com/star-trek-picard-is-garbage/amp/

    This show is bad.

    It is 2022. Picard season 2 takes place in 2024. How do we develop force field technology so fast?

    I don't buy Jurati's murder defense. She was shown a possible end of times vision and acted on it thinking it was the only way to stop things. How many times in the other series were characters faced with a horrible choice to make but stood by their morals? They could started the season with her in mental hospital and have Picard request her to be released to his custody to do science stuff.

    The same Noel Lee who I believe had public outburst here. Ever look at Calibre Wings Facebook? These look like great toys but just read what he posts there.
  17. Roy Focker
    One of each for me. Been pre-ordering every wave.
  18. Roy Focker
    Bingo.

    The various Inquisitors were created to be villains for the good guys in Rebels. Great bad guys are ones that are specifically designed for your hero. In Star Trek for example Q is designed to be Picard's bad guy. Q has made guest appearances in the other Star Trek shows but he works best when paired with Picard. Batman's arch enemy is the Joker and Superman has Lex Luthor. They could trade enemies but, it just wouldn't feel right. If Obi-Wan has interactions with them it just won't have a much meaning as they had with the characters from Rebels. If Obi-Wan interactions with them are violent there's no room for surprise. They're guest star villains. Their destiny is to have a beef with and be defeated by the characters from Rebels. I want Obi-Wan to face threats that are custom made for him. Not ones that were made for others.

    I don't have much hope for this series. I do think it's great to see him back in the role. I rather they didn't include all these cartoon characters. If you're a fan of them I guess that's cool but I want to see threats created for this story. Threats that you know could die during the show. Already know Obi-Wan is going to make through the series. Any fight he has with a cartoon character won't have much impact as both will live to fight another day. I'm afraid they'll also pull a book of Boba Fett in this show. We'll get an entire episode where Obi-Wan doesn't even show up. Instead we'll see Boba Fett and Cade Bane rescue baby Yoda from Darth Vader.

    Prequel CGI doesn't look very good these days. If only they made a dozen real Clone Troopers and some more practical sets things would have looked so much better.

    Hey guys this is me acting as Mod telling you all that this extended conversion on political systems is going off topic from Star Trek and more towards the realm of politics a subject that isn't allowed.
  23. Roy Focker
    That season finale was fantastic.

    Costume looks more flexible compared to 89 version.

    I wonder how long Boba's rule is going to last. Didn't he say no more spice? Tatooine doesn't have anything going for it besides being on route for drug smuggling. Take away the spice trade and all cantinas, docking bays will go along with it. Moisture farming alone isn't enough to keep everything going. No legitimate business will pay Fett tribute/protection money if there's no spice smugglers that need their ships serviced. Citizens will turn against him because the local economy collapse since he took over.
