OldBoy

DJariya

OldBoy

The episode is up. Hoping for a Don J review by 4 am eastern.

People are gonna hate me even more than they already do, but i didn't like that episode at all, the worst one of the four so far.

Artman

I'm genuinely stunned at how poorly made this show is, it really takes effort to be this bad.

Lol, 30 minutes! (minus intros and credits) Folks this thing is gonna be shorter than 4hrs. And we just repeated another rescue with Leia...at least a two hour movie would've wasted less of our time.

There really isn't much else to comment on, there was so little to this 'episode'.

xe.kilroy

Some more rants....

So two episodes left. What a waste

Other than the

there wasn't much else.

I think if you edited this series down to some key scenes/sequences, you might have a decent 15-20 mins that's enjoyable.

I wouldn’t say I’m not enjoying this, but it has all been rather pointless so far.

They were probably better off creating a series that follows various Jedi (like Quinlan Vos) after Order 66 and maybe they run into Obi-Wan for a couple of scenes.

Oof. Sorry just can’t stand Reva. Terrible dialogue. She literally used the phrase “a bunch of”…this is how a Sith Inquisitor with Vader’s ear talks? The show is so damn lazy. I couldn’t have imagined myself not watching a series based around Obi-Wan more than once but here we are. Not sure what can be done in 2 more eps to save it.

Why So Blu?

Reva is atrocious. So where were her flashy parkour moves from the 1st episode? She was literally winded trying to chase down Kenobi there at the end!

OldBoy

decent ep. lot of action. what a missed opportunity to go all A New Hope when Ben could have dressed up as a Stormtrooper and rescued Leia.

csant

Yeah, I wanted to give her the benefit of the thought... but holy shit her acting is atrocious, her running is terrible. How did she get this gig.

When Obi-Wan was infiltrating the Imperial base to rescue Leia, I was surprised he didn't brought along ten year-old Luke, R2-D2, C-3PO, along with Alden Ehrenreich's Han Solo and his fancy new Millennium Falcon since Disney likes to recycle so much shit from the movies we liked.

And then Darth Vader could track them all back to the Rebel base!

Joe Schmoe

I liked some of this episode, but Tala slapping a stormtrooper was laughable.

So far, the parts in this show are following the structure of Episodes I - IV in the films: Part I/Ep. I - There's a desert planet and royalty is kidnapped; Part II/Ep.II - Obi-Wan runs into trouble on a busy city planet; Part III/Ep. III - Obi-Wan and Anakin have a lightsaber duel, and one of them gets burned; Part IV/Ep. IV - Obi-Wan leads a rescue mission to get Princess Leia out of an imperial base. What's next? A snowy planet followed by a forest moon/return to Tatooine?

Obi-Wan’s audience score on RT is pretty bad. 58%

TGM

just give us 6 episodes of Obi-Wan and Vader beating the shit out of each other. That's all we want.

bunkaroo

That’s too easy. There are agendas to fulfill!

DJariya

Leia screaming for help on a carrier full of Imperial officers, Storm Troopers and Darth Vader had to be the stupidest thing I’ve seen on this series Ben getting on board so easily was ridiculous too.

I’m really surprised this is coming from Deborah Chow. She was regarded as one of the best directors from The Mandalorian. This feels like very subpar work from her and the writers of this series.

and the episode was so short too.

bunkaroo

These episodes are being written by nobodies. Go look at IMDB. How the fuck did these people get this gig? It’s like Disney cheaped out on every aspect except paying Ewan. What an embarrassment.

Andrew Stanton (Pixar) has credits for eps 5 and 6 so maybe they’ll be better. Or too little too late.

Joe Schmoe

This series has its faults for sure. I agree about not caring about the random characters at the end. Waste of time. Yeah, the Empire would assume Leia will end up back on Alderaan, but I don't think Vader would automatically have her kidnapped again and again between this series and Ep. IV to draw out Obi-Wan because the Inquisitors frowned upon it for some reason when Reva did it, and holding her was considered dangerous when Vader did it in Ep. IV. (I think "dangerous" was the word used by the Imperial Officer who asked Vader about it at the beginning of that film, but it may have been another adjective.) I don't know what's dangerous about it, but the Imperial Senate was still in place during this show, so maybe appearances matter. Is Vader taking orders from Tarkin at this point in the timeline? Maybe Tarkin and/or Palpatine would tell him to leave the senator's daughter alone. Perhaps Reva put the tracking device in Lola because she's hoping to catch up to Obi-Wan and Leia before they reach Alderaan so that capturing them won't be as messy, politically speaking. Yes, the Empire put out a wanted poster for Obi-Wan, but the galaxy's a big place, and I doubt every stormtrooper throughout it is going to remember (or care) to keep a lookout for one dude everywhere they go. Once Obi-Wan parts from Lola, the Empire won't be tracking him anymore. Maybe the tracking device will be removed from Lola or she'll be lost or destroyed.

This show has no tension, we know Obi-Wan and Leia aren’t going to die and the people who do we don’t care about because they’re inconsequential, so that makes the whole show inconsequential and pointless.
