Little prick was CEO of the largest child trafficking network in the Universe and does ZERO jail time . Instead this green nonce gets 20 years in Florida and is allowed to change his appearance from CGI to Jim Henson puppet at the taxpayers expense. I'd love to see a list of all the people who flew on Yoda's private star ship too. Had his own overnight room at Stoke Mandervillle as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Is Obi-Wan worth it? I sort of got tired of SW, then I played the new Lego game and it’s given me a bit of joy. OWK is my favourite SW character - and EM is one of my favourite actors. Should I watch? I haven’t even watched the Mandalorian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Thought the last two episodes were better with the finale as the best one. The fight choreography was OK, a couple of nice techniques to disarm and break balance when you look at it closely....too much spinning though! Some nice reveals, hidden easter eggs. Yes it could have even better, thought Ewan McGregor was pretty good. The trailer for Andorran looks very good, I'm hoping it's more Rogue One 'dark' than Book of Boba 'disney schmaltz'.

I think the casting is a bit off (Lea doesn’t look 10) and they needed to age Ewan more as it’s a big jump between now and Alec in New Hope. Also this just feels fan fodder as it doesn’t really tie in with him being a hermit for years I was thinking that. We're only 9 years behind, Obi-Wan is way too young now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not flawless but it's a solid bit of Star Wars entertainment and is more successful than any of the rest of the Disney stuff at getting the magic of it all. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 So far Rogue One is the only new thing I've enjoyed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Rogue One is definitely the best Disney offering but I've enjoyed the Mandalorian and parts of Obi Wan and Book of Boba Fett (everyone seems to have suddenly forgotten how much they creamed themselves over episode 6 of the latter). The sequel trilogy was an abomination, although I enjoyed the Force Awakens at the time but I'm disliking them more as time goes on and strangely softening my stance on the Prequels.

It took 5 episodes of mediocrity to get to episode 6 though . You'd expect better than a 1 in 6 hit rate from a company such as Disney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) The problem with Obi-Wan as a series, same as the Solo movie, is there's no danger, risk or sense of fear. We know how these characters turn out. Same as Andor, we know how his arc ends. What makes the Mandalorian work is that we don't know his or Grogu's paths yet. Marvel with their series have got it right by setting them after the events of films, so the journey we go on with these characters has some mystery.

It also makes everything ridiculously predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue One was enjoyable enough, the other two were terrible. The whole thing (Disney in general) it's abundantly clear is to pump out as much "content" as they can, with new cheaper actors and they just use the old legacy characters for bait and switch. Quality doesn't matter in the slightest. It's the Netflix model, churn out lots and lots of content and surely one or two of the things you've pumped out with be a hit. They're all copying the model, HBO now making GoT into a franchise with a million shows. It's all to justify monthly streaming subscriptions. This whole business model will collapse once the next recession hits because the easiest thing in the world to do when you need to cut your expenditure is bin off Disney+ and Netflix. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
