Kenobi trailer looks fantastic. Delighted to see that Fallen Order was taken into consideration too here..
I would have liked the Grand Inquisitor to look more his species did in Ep3 but its a minor minor gripe.
Looks like yet another win for Disney with Star Wars.
Rebels ✅ The Force Awakens ✅ Rogue One ✅ Solo ✅ The Mandalorian ✅ Clone Wars final season ✅ Book Of Boba Fett ✅
For me their only real mistep was Resistance. It was unwatchable.

Just saw that Christopher Llyod has been cast in a role for season 3 of the Mandalorian. Should be interesting to see what the role ends up being and if it will be a one and done character.

Was just reading this too...interesting stuff. For some reason I imagined him as a sinister Imperial scientist straight away 🤔

I love that McGregor is the perfect age now to play Obi Wan between ROTS and ANH. Definitely my most anticipated series on Disney+.

Since playing Lego Star Wars this week, it's about time for another watch through of the movies. I'd decided that when I was downloading the game, but as soon as I heard the "I have a bad feeling about this" in the first scene of the game, I'm like a kid at Christmas. Must do it before Kenobi drops!

Not super impressed with Kenobi so far. Feels like Disney has tried to infuse too much “marvel humor” into this series. And the acting has been unintentionally hilarious for some reason like everything was rushed.
And that 5 minute “chase” scene in episode 2 where Obi Wan is chasing after the child was some of the worst writing and editing I’ve ever seen.
Ewen is good as always so I’m hoping the show picks up from here.

I had high expectations for Kenobi & it has surpassed them handily. Another home run from the SW/Disney team

Kenobi was rough and emblematic again of this era of Star Wars, just really shallow poor writing and nonsense. God awful.

Outside of Ewan and Jimmy Smits I’ve felt the acting has been pretty bad and that the writing hasn’t been much better. Just watched episode 3. Not much better IMO and seemed to break continuity based on what was said in A New Hope.

As soon as the little girl appeared, I knew this was doomed - it’s so rare to find decent child actors (which sorry, I don’t think she’s even passable), it’s often best not to risk playing with that especially when it makes no sense to the pre-existing story. That’s no surprise, think they’re just rewriting the whole thing from their warped view from scratch. It wouldn’t be half as bad, I heard this elsewhere i admit, if it was a brand new show, brand new characters and a whole new story but they’re treading through some very known, loved characters and stories and just eating into them haphazardly. It’s not enhancing anything.

It’s not enhancing anything. Agreed 100% that Disney screwed up by messing with classic characters and stories (and continuing to do so). They should have done a story with all new characters in a different era and part of the galaxy with no connection to the Skywalkers. Instead, they continue to throw crap at the wall and hope it sticks with classic characters in an attempt to satisfy older fans and gain some new subscribers. Like seriously, who was asking for a Yoda show? Not only are they screwing with classic characters, but the Disney stuff is continually disregarding continuity with the established movies and shows from before they took over. Based on the latest episodes of Obi Wan we’re gonna need another special edition of A New Hope with the following dialogue… Vader: "When I left you, I was but the learner. Now, I am the master." Obi-Wan: "Odd choice of words, since we met about a decade ago on that mining planet Mapuzo." Vader: "I was speaking metaphorically about when I left you as your padawan, not about the last time we saw each other." Obi-Wan: "*Now* you are the master? So on Mapuzo you weren't a master yet? It sure does seem like you are totally forgetting about our encounter there. Did the Emperor mind-wipe you?" Vader: "Shut up! What I am saying now does not conflict *at all* with our previous meeting or meetings since you left me to die those years ago. You just have to look at my perspective from a certain point of view." Obi-Wan: "Certain point of view? I'll be sure to use that excuse if I ever contradict myself in the future."

im 3 episodes in and heard some issues with leia as an actor and it just never even crossed my mind. how is it even an issue? i think she matches a lot of leia's manuerisms quite well for a child actor. it is like she watched her and picked up on some cool aspects of leias character. also with a kid what are you expecting? star wars is also never based on stella acting it is not really the point of the movies because the world does so much heavy lifting on top of a uniquely heavy 50 year storyline that is still being uncovered. i think focusing on any actor let alone a child is unnecessarily short sighted given the scope of SW.

Wow....time to unsubscribe from this thread. Yet another section of wf that absolutely revels in negative vibes.
Enjoy SW far too much to be reading this daily...no thanks.

It was bad enough to take me out of totally, it came across like someone’s daughter on set having a run around. Couldn’t suspend my disbelief. I was sold a show about Kenobi, Obi-Wan Kenobi and him living after the events of ROTS… not Leia’s First Rebel Rebel, not interested thanks. You need only look at their greatest success for a comparable better, The Mandalorian… the show revolves entirely around him.

I'm not a big Star Wars fan but I've been trying to watch everything and give it a chance and for what its worth I've been loving this show so far. No complaints from me at all,I'm excited for next weeks episode. So that's a win from me.
