      no, I'm on part 6 of kenobi right now and it's just dawning on me that it's significantly better than episode 8 or 9.

          I'm only at the beginning of part 6 but I still think this show has the right idea for what would've made a good nu-trilogy. 7,8, and 9 are so laughably bad that just seeing little glimpses of Anakin and some clone troopers in Kenobi makes me wanna coom.

            yeah i should clarify, the entire show is still arguably better than the sequel trilogy. but i do feel a lot of its strength is simply telling a story that you actually want to see. still, i doubt i will remember much of the show besides episode 6 which imo was actually quite good.

            Yeah, Mando had some moronic shit too but it was ignorable overall and the good parts made up for it. Meanwhile, Obi Wan constantly throws dumb shit in your face and is just boring for the most part. No show is perfect, they all have plot holes or goofs, it's all about the ratio to good stuff and how bad the idiocy is.

            Mando S1 was decent. It had some rough edges but at least it presented us with something we hadn't seen before.
            But then Mando S2 turned into the Star Wars Spin-Off Hour with every other episode being a backdoor pilot. It stopped being a story about Mando and started being the gateway from which Disney generates interest in their new line of action figures and TV shows. And they don't even do those shows justice as BoBF showed us. We went from a ruthless warrior/survivor Boba in Mando S2 to a frail, tired old man who wants everyone to get along in BoBF. From a man who can take on a battalion of Stormtroopers to a grandfather who needs his bacta tank naps every night, despite the fact that this doesn't fit with the new established canon. Because Disney doesn't care. Content.

              That's honestly what it comes down to. Content for the sake of content. Canon or consistency are largely irrelevant; it's more about superficial references and seeing the Star Wars artifacts (= characters, ships, locations etc.). What these characters do or say is ultimately not that relevant, the important thing is that they're there and in the same universe and that it makes people go "YES! I know/remember this!" That's the new Star Wars.

              physically Vader was capable of defeating him though. Obi Wan allowed himself to become one with the Force because his time was basically "up", but that wouldn't have been the case if he could've simply defeated Vader.
              there was literally no benefit to not staying in a corporeal form and defeating Vader then and there

      The show is absolute garbage. Kenobi encountering Darth Vader, watching him murder people to draw him out and then leaving him alive makes him responsible for every single death from that point on. He thought he was leaving Anakin to die at the end of Revenge of the Sith and his mistake was not finishing the job. That's a proper tragic mistake. But intentionally walking away from an enemy you know will kill people just to get what they want? That is something else entirely.

      Aside from that let's look at a few problems with the series.
      >Reva can travel without a ship faster than Kenobi can with one.
      >Not murdering a small child makes up for almost a decade of killing people and cutting people's hands off to make them talk.
      >The name of a planet and the fact there is a 'boy' on that planet is enough for Reva to know she needs to find Owen.
      >Kenobi has a conversation with Leia while on the back of a truck with Stormtroopers about what being a Jedi is like.
      >Organa gave Kenobi a one way ticket to a planet to save his adopted daughter and nothing else. Not a ship, not money, nothing.
      >Leia vacillates between being the smartest person in the room and not being able to pronounce words correctly.
      >The proto-rebellion escapes the planet despite the fact that Vader's Star Destroyer is in orbit above it. It doesn't interact with the ship until Vader reboards.
      >Kenobi is now a criminal who steals from his boss, but it's okay because the boss is a dick?
      >Kenobi uses a human shield to defend himself from blaster fire.

      This shit isn't 'nerdrage'. It's an endless series of failures in writing. Even Reva was just a badly written character. But that's the problem with nuwars: Disney doesn't care. This is content, nothing more. Come and check it out once a week to justify your D+ sub. Come back tomorrow for the MCU's newest 'content' too. Whatever it takes to get that subscription fee.

        Lol even at being a sad enraged impotent nerd you fail miserably. There's terrible mistakes in this show and you hit precisely ZERO of them. Stuff that was badly executed mostly like the comical Leia chase scene throught he woods which could've been done away with a couple of shots and a cutaway, or the 'hiding Leia under a coat' like it's Looney Tunes hour. You could've mentioned THAT but you listed a bunch of BS. But ok I'll amuse myself

        -It's like GOT, time is assumed to have passed even by the most moronic of children. We don't know how long Vader chased Obi Wan's vessel. Everything going on with REEEva happens at the same time. Gives her long enough to reach Tatooine easily.
        -No one says she's already redeemed, this is the start of her making amends. Which is stupid because who cares but you're an idiot if you thought the angry probably lesbian diversity hire was gonna get killed when they literally announced she was getting her own show mid-way.
        -It's easy child, if they don't react, it's because they didn't hear them. A MUCH better and valid question is how could Obi Wan refer to Leia by her actual name. Idiot.
        -Organa gave Kenobi plenty of money to get by, which he throws around without worrying to much about it. He gives credits to Hobotrooper and buys clothes for Leia.
        -She is never the smartest, just them wanking her Force given insight. She's a child and written as one.
        -Indeed! Finally, you got one! This is essentially 'happens for plot reasons'.
        -lol dude who gives a fricking flying shit, Qui Gon Jinn is the epitome of Star Wars morality and he tried to steal from Watto, that was this dude's Master. Obi Wan also doesn't care about overriding a sentient's being free will, remember the junkie in AOTC? That he likely turned his life around doesn't take away from the fact it wasn't his choice, since you're being a moral absolutist here.
        -Dude was an alien and a bad guy.

    The fights with Vader were a stupid idea and they took all the weight out of the fight in A New Hope, at least they didn't have Vader win then the "now I am the master" line would have made NO sense. Would have preferred a show with no cash cow characters (which mandalorian did aside from baby yeed and they could have easily done something similar here) but NOOOO WE HAVE TO HAVE LE HECKIN DARTH VADER YASSS OH MY GOD HE THROWS BOULDERS YASSSS OH GOD LE EPIC YOUNG PRINCESS LEIA SO AMAZING AND BRAVE #THEFORCEISFEMALE

      Only if you choose to view these Disney shows as canonical, which I don't. Stuff like Obi-Wan watchable and sometimes even quite good but I think of it in the same terms as the old paperback Star Wars novels and Dark Horse comics; it's officialized fanfiction. When I next watch ANH I won't be thinking about the events of the Obi-Wan series at all, they occupy two separate galaxies in my mind.

    Every piece of Star Wars media made after the 80s is a piece of dog shit. I'm not sure why people are A-okay with mediocrity.

    >how did the spinoffs manage to be so much better than the nu-trilogy?
    Because what do you even do with a new trilogy? Side stories set in the same universe are clearly the way to go. Even if you frick them up no one cares.

    I don't understand why I should care about the Third Sister in any way even after her "redemption". She was an unlikable butthole during the entire show, she pretty much nearly killed Luke, she led to the deaths of untold amounts of people just to get a chance at Vader and failed, and she acted like a basket case towards the end. The sheer amount of plot armor she had to survive not only getting Vader'd but Vader'd twice is sheer lunacy.

    Also, how in the hell does Luke not remember any of this? If you watch the first movie again he's got a barely passing notion at who Ben is and just calls him an "old wizard" as if he's dismissing The Force or Lightsabers when he was chased around by a crazed magician with a red stick who nearly killed him when he was younger.

    Also also, why in the hell is Obi-Wan so open about being a Jedi to Luke or Mos Eisley and brandishing a lightsaber when like 10 or so years prior to this he was breaking out in cold sweats and shying away from even touching the thing? It makes sense with Cal, it's literally right after Order 66 happens, but with Obi-Wan it's quite a while after Order 66 and then the first movie should be at the tail end of when Rebels happens. How does no one know what a Jedi is when less than 20 or 30 years ago they were policing all of the galaxy and how does no one immediately start leaving or backing off when a guy pulls his Lightsaber out? They all just go back to drinking while like one guy reports it to low level Stormtroopers. I can at least understand how no one was tied to Maul tracking him down since Maul died in the desert.

    Besides the original trilogy, the cartoons, and some of the games, every single star wars media has been shit and will always remain shit.
