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. If Disney gave us quality Star Wars products there’d be positive things to say.

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. 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’ve never bought the “it’s a child actor, what do you expect” excuse. If they can’t find a child to give a decent performance, then maybe the script needs a rewrite. I also hate how Obi Wan cut himself off from the force yet still told Owen he needs to train Luke…like WTF? I get he has PTSD which is fine, but they basically made him a complete bafoon like he’s never seen a lightsaber before, let alone wielded one. And what happened to Yoda telling Obi Wan at the end of ROTS that he has special training for him during his time on Tatooine? Yoda told him he was going to help him communicate with Qui Gon, but that clearly never happened. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg with the things that are bugging me with this show.

I'm afraid for me SW is just 6 movies. It lives and dies with George Lucas' vision.
Disney Star Wars is (bad) fan fiction. None of it makes any sense, the production quality is awful and the actors they keep casting. woof.

Whilst I might be in a funk with the direction Disney is taking things…
I still love Star Wars.. anyone check out and enjoy the videos by Mr Sunday Movies on YouTube, not extensively, but decently outlining the fun bits from the prequels most recently? It’s made with love and whilst they have a laugh with them, sometimes at them, I think they’re good fun and recommend checking them out. Also loved the phantom menace merch video… there was sooo much merch for that film it’s insane!

As much as I would have preferred the first meeting of Obi-Wan and Vader since RotS to have just happened in ANH, the short fight in episode 3 was OK. Vader Force pulling Obi-Wan through the flames was pretty brutal.

Episode 5 was amazing. If you didn't have fun during those 40 minutes, I feel sorry for you.

Re watched episode 5 then took in the finale 1st thing this morning.
Absolutely outstanding. I thought what happened in this episode was predictable enough(couldn't understand the fury about earlier episodes & Canon when we hadn't seen the full show) but it was executed well.
Another excellent delivery from Disney & Filoni 👏👏👏👏

I really enjoyed the finale. Made up for the rest of the series, which I wasn’t as into as I anticipated.
I do have some concerns about some plot holes this caused but I can live with it.
Overall, I’m glad they made this show. I could watch more Obi Wan if they decided to make more. But if this is it, I’m good with it.

I enjoyed Obi Wan for what it is worth. I’ll leave it at that.

In one ear and out the other content… soulless.
I rewatch OT and PT like twice a year consistently forever ever… even throw force awakens in as it wasn’t god awful but damn… this show was embarrassing.
I dig mando for the most part. Boba Fett was a joke from the get-go. But to make bringing back Obi-Wan and Vadar so trivial, it’s a crime - they deserved a big budget movie trilogy more than anything else could IF you had to stick your hands in the in-between. This was live action clone wars cartoon crap - and I adore some of those episodes but not this. It’s a shame.
