>how did they manage to make the cgi look worse than in the prequels?
Because the show has no budget. Disney knows they will make bank through nostalgia. No need to do any work.
>KINO IS BACK for 30 second segments throughout the episode.
What an absolute waste. Why bring both of these actors back for something so shallow?
Imagine if half of each episode was just flashbacks to conversations they had or missions they ran to hopefully add context where the prequels lacked them with the timeskips.

Too bad they couldn't deepfake Hayden and Ewan to make them look younger, but it was still kino. Kinda sad that even Hayden is mogging these new actors on the show like Reva when he got constant grief for bad acting.

Chewie.... We're home...
He looks like a senior that's shit himself. Appalling.
We're 5/6 episodes in and this was the first time they had a flashback to Anakin. It's just to show a sparring match. The rest of the show has been Obi-Wan being bossed around by a 10 year old leia and a strong female Inquisitor lady hunting him down.
Don't watch this, it's not even so bad it's funny. It's just boring bad.
>The rest of the show has been Obi-Wan being bossed around by a 10 year old leia and a strong female Inquisitor lady hunting him down
dear God. Could this clownworld become even more sad and pathetic???
Why the frick was it not set during TCW era? The fans would have gone insane to see Ewan and Hayden in those costumes. Plus it’s less de aging for them both and it’s actually an era people enjoy unlike episode 2. Disney is so fricking moronic
I do think it would've been an alright idea but not because I think EPII was bad. The point of their sparring was displaying Anakin's aggression and if he was off the front line for a while on Coruscant it would've been more interesting.
Anakin has the Youngling Slayer in this scene which means they are either in the early days of the war or that the prop department didn't bother watching the movies their job is based on.
Because they wanted Anakin being a padawan during the flashback for it to make sense in the "master and apprentice" plot.
It's all written backwards, that's why characters flow through the plot having things conveniently happen for them all around. It's specially jarring with Reva and Leia's characters.
>The Clone Wars era
That has been done to death by 1 film and 2 different cartoons. Personally, I was hoping for Obi-Wan Kenobi to have the tone of Yojimbo but set in Star Wars with Obi-Wan as the rōnin. I suppose Mandalorian has that aesthetic going for it already. Still, very disappointing in OWK, especially since Ewan seems to be the only one trying.
At first I assumed maybe this was some vision of an alternate future. It's just weird if they have Hayden there meant to be a teen and looking 40 years old.
But I guess it worked for the OT...
kek, did they just re-used the same balcony set from order 66 opening in ep1? was it that hard to make interesting jedi sparring room set with their budget?
where is Reva? How does this connect to Reva's story? Nobody cares about this cringe shit flashback, stupid fanservice, that does not matter, show more Reva for frick's sake. People like Reva, the main character, for once, so why waste runtime of the episode with this shit, which has nothing to do with her?
I didn't see any of the new star wars shit. I did not see any marvel or dc cape shit. I did not see any movie made in last 10 years, except for Manchester by the Sea.

Why would you waste Hayden on an irrelevant flashback? Have Obi-Wan get high on deathweed and hallucinate a grown up Anakin. During his lowest moment, about to give up on life and become an addict, older Anakin thanks him for saving him from a life of misery on Tatooine and Kenobi realizes he's gotta live for Luke.

>WHY ISNT IT JUST ABOUT ANAKIN AND OBI WAN COMING TO TERMS WITH THEMSELVES
Because that would make their reunion in A New Hope even more redundant than this show already has.
Supposedly it was but Disney thought it was too dark. The reason the show looks cheap isn't because they for some reason put less money into this than Mandolorian, its because it was hastily reshot after disapproval from the higher ups that it was too dour. Everything with young Leia is entirely reshoot stuff, which you'll note is the majority of the show.
Fricking Disney... Star Wars has always been a pretty dark story. Their moronic mouse shit is killing Star Wars. You can pull this shlock with the Marvel stuf since it was not an established IP outside of comics, but not Star Wars.
This would have been kino if it was about Anakin and Obi Wan's relationship instead of lil Leia's Alderaan adventures.
OH MY GOD IM SOIPOGGING THE FRICK OUT RIGHT NOW HOLY POGGERS MY HECKIN FAV CHARACTERS FROM MY HECKIN FAV MOVIE I LOVE STAR WARS I LOVE STAR WARS I LOVE STAR WARS POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOG
What a horrible cut. Anakin takes a swing at Kenobi and it suddenly cuts to Vader looking out a window. Granted, the shot with vader is alright, but it's just edited horribly.
I always wonder about these kind of training scenes in SW, what happens if one of them is having an off day and the other one beheads them accidentally? It always seems stupid to practice with lightsabers when the slightest mistake can cause death
There's a non lethal setting on the lightsaber for training purposes. I think it turns down the energy being emitted from the blade/dulls it or something. They showed it in Rebels when Kanan was training Ezra iirc
the control is just for the length and it still moronic
It's a different scene. Ironically the training setting for lightsabers in Rebels makes the lightsabers dimmer like the LED ones they use in the Disney era. They really aren't bright enough in live action anymore.
They shouldn't be fighting like this in a training session. At least in Rebels they had training sabers. Why is Obi Wan holding his saber like a homosexual and not using his normal style? Verdict: NOT KINO.
Episode 3 is the fastest light saber duels we got. Also vader is slow as in the comics because his prosthetics are wonky and heavy so he has to use the force to even move.
Luke and Leia appear in all 3 films of the sequel trilogy. Not to mention Kylo Ren while having the last name Solo is the last person in Anakin's bloodline. He dies in the last film of the "Skywalker Saga" meaning that the series tells the entire story of that family from beginning to end.
>Yet another episode where Obi Wan barely escapes because of plot magic and villains turning stupid >T-Thank you Disney. I kneel to this amazing writing because Vader held a space ship through the force
Star Wars fans really gobble up any garbage as long as it carries the name
to be fair, star wars has never been rocket science, pun intended
it's true that some fans are easily satisfied, but it's doubly true that people's expectations are incredibly high for what is essentially their nostalgia talking
>some
Despite the Internet consensus pointing to Rise of Skywalker being a total flop, general audience opinions rate it rather highly. Fans are very easily pleased.
Shut the frick up, moron. It's ass, everything Disney has done with Star Wars is ass, all I said was that split second was cool.
have a nice day, Black person.
I remember being a Star Wars fan.
Good times of enjoying some simplistic fun, not always high quality but moderately good.
Now we have this. I hate you Disney.
>not hyped for a single of the few SW games that have come since 2015's Battlefront trailer and AT-AT on rails >Movies started with a bland rehash and ok spinoff both with many flaws and then completly shit the bed with TLJ >Comics were meh to crappy even when Cinemaphile was making story time threads of them, more so now that Dr Lesbian is more and more prominent and Durge was mishandled >Filoni continues being a mixed bag but with touches of the nucanon >Series started great with Mando S1 but were slowly falling in quality with Book of Boba and Kenobi being absolute drops. >The so called "canon" keeps mutating and growing grotesque like a tumour making the shit people complained about of the EU seem a benign mole in comparison.
It's depressing that it has come to this point
Honestly I knew all this would happen as soon as Disney bought the franchise, I had seen it happen with Marvel already. Though I didn't think they'd ruin everything so thoroughly.
At this point, I just watch the old movies every now and then and replay KOTOR 1&2 and the OG Battlefront 2 every 1-2 summers.
I enjoy the challenge but that's just me, it's true it's not the best planet.
I guess just push yourself thinking with every step you take you're one step closer to getting out of Taris and reaching the cool shit. I fricking love Manaan.

If you choose to stay at lvl 2, use other character as the leader so they can tank. And remember to give the protag the best equipment if you do the arena, leaving it for last and spamming grenades in the last few enemies to beat it.
I remember when the greatest fear/joke was that Disney was going to turn Star Wars into some travesty with shitty Disneychannel teen actors.
In retrospect that'd be like at least putting some lube before raping the franchise
>making the shit people complained about of the EU seem a benign mole in comparison.
I really don't know how anyone familiar with the EU could think this. The canon as of right now is more cohesive than the EU ever was. That's not a statement about quality, either; I like parts of the EU.
>The canon as of right now is more cohesive than the EU ever was.
In several occassions the new canon has contradicted itself, not only with the original saga but also with other works within it.
EU seems more cohesive in many ways despite for example, major plot points like the DS plans, and they didn't even try let alone boast that they have a canon approval council that's just a bunch of overweight feminists and possibly that cuck of Pablo Hidalgo.
Hello Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi it is I imperial senator Bail Organa. I know that you said no communication but I needed to know that Darth Vader has not found out about his children Luke and Leia Skywalker. If you do not respond to this message I will travel to Tatooine and locate Owen the stepbrother of Darth Vader because he is currently taking care of Darth Vaders son Luke Skywalker.
WE KNEEL TO DISNEY THANK YOU I WANT TO GOBBLE UP MORE DISNEY CUM PLEEEEEASE MAKE MORE SHOWS ABOUT CHARACTERS I KNOW FROM STAR WAAAAAAARS AT-ST AT-ST AT-ST AT-ST AT-ST AT-ST AT-ST AT-ST AT-ST AT-ST AT-ST AT-ST AT-ST
>introduce a potential love interest for Obi Wan >kill her off
Wasted potential. I like the show so far though, even though I saw that Reva twist coming since like the first episode. I didn't see her becoming a good guy, but her being a youngling.
anyone that knew the background of the inquisitors in general going into the show and used their eyes during the first order 66 scene in the show has known she was a youngling for weeks now
This is Disney who has gone all in on deaging technology and CGI corpses, see new Indiana Jones, Luke in Mandalorian, Peter Cushing in Rogue One. This would've been pretty easy to do too, they aren't so old as to need to fake the whole thing like Mark Hamill
TCW is just "Let's steal from other media mostly Star Wars EU and make it waaaaay worse" the show. Really the first sign of things to come with Disney's Star Wars
TCW like to meme about le ebin warcrimes Anakin and Obi Wan did but based Alpha was advocating to kill the wounded and execute the political opposition in another panel of the Jabiim arc
by someone who cares, clearly there's people who cares, Disney just need to sign the checks, but they're sort of broke right now so they're probably not going to take any risks for some time.
unironically
The original trilogy is overrated >New Hope is only noteworthy for its groundbreaking visual effects (for the time), meanwhile, everything else is rather bland, including characters >Return of Jedi, is only known for memes and Slave Leia
A lot of more could be done.
Return of the Jedi is 50% a great movie, but its the beginning of the end in several aspects, "a certain point of view" is the tip of the shit covered iceberg. I would remake everything from the ground up to tell a cohesive story instead of coming up with new bullshit every couple of years.
Spiderman has been redone 3 fricking times already.
So is Star Wars right now, its Frankenstein's monster, decades old corpses drunkenly stitched up together

But that's just it. Star Wars doesn't need to be that. The history and scope of the setting are nigh-endless. It can't get out from under the stupid because the stupid is where the money is. That's why the High Republic is just some novels and comics while Obi-Wan Kenobi is a multimillion dollar production. Rebooting doesn't fix this problem.
Who knows; maybe The Acolyte will be good and start the healing process. Or maybe it won't.

Kenobi is a TV show because producers think hat Star Trek: TNG can't work with Star Wars because the sequel trilogy was made like shit. They only think that if they pile enough new garbage on top of the old wonky shit then young people will latch on in the long run.
I think they literally need to do Star Wars: TNG but 1000 years in the future or remake the whole saga but cohesive.
It doesn't. The prequels themselves already exist you dumb shit. All it does is just say with words what the pea brain audience like you should already know
The inquisitors are one of the gayest and most unnecessary things created by Filoni and Disney. They were obviously just an excuse to create more donut steels the same way sequel characters like Captain Phasma were. >there are only ever two sith >except for these jobbers who do the exact same things as sith but are weaker than Darth Vader >and by the way Darth Maul is still alive xD
No he isn't. He is supposed to be the monstrous op as frick dark side user apprentice and he never left that stage in TCW just being religated to jobbing to Filoni OCs
Why the frick was it not set during TCW era? The fans would have gone insane to see Ewan and Hayden in those costumes. Plus it’s less de aging for them both and it’s actually an era people enjoy unlike episode 2. Disney is so fricking moronic
>huh, I saw you look at that girl. You want to frick her, don't you Anakin? FRICK HER? YOU WANT TO FRICK HER RIGHT HERE AND NOW, AM I CORRECT
Jesus Obi Wan
Sometimes they do good stuff in Star Wars and sometimes they do stupid stuff. There's so many people working on these films and shows that it can't be kino all the time. No reason to get angry over it though.
They'll have Anakin flashbacks in the Ashoka(TM) show where his forceghost will sacrifce himself to save her from Darth Thrawn who travelled back in time through force time travel and kill the emperor. Then Mara will fall in love with her and now you understand why Luke will never have sex and why Anakin didn't give a shit about converting Ben Solo or warning Luke.
>new original characters
It'll all be diversity shit that nobody will watch. That's why they keep dredging up old shit like Ewan's Obi Wan
The Enemy can't create anon. He can only pervert
Star Wars will just keep making the same shows and movies about the same characters over and over again for the next 100 years until Disney gets control of the government. State mandated basedfacing is just over the horizon.
This show was shit but it would have been slightly less shit if they hired a choreographer for the fight scenes. These lightsaber duels were just bad. Stiff and unconvincing. If only they could have gotten that one thing right at least we'd have had a few kino webms out of this fiasco, but no.
Every show has a choreographer. Do you honestly think that the actors just show up on set and decide themselves what to do. Holy frick the state of this fricking board.
It looks like they were trying to do a middle ground between the OT's deliberate, calculated samurai-esque duels and the kinetic, fast gymnastic duels. They clearly failed. Everything looks incredibly clunky and forced in the show like they're going through the motions of a dance than actively trying to kill each other with laserswords.
>in the show like they're going through the motions of a dance
You're right, not only is the choreography shit, but it doesn't look like the actors had a lot of time to rehearse it
>in the show like they're going through the motions of a dance
You're right, not only is the choreography shit, but it doesn't look like the actors had a lot of time to rehearse it
It's like a bad Dancing with the Stars (Wars) contestant, but NONE of them have had any practice beyond maybe a week of barely learning a routine. Compare that to the months of practiced choreography the Prequels took for each film, culminating in Obi-Wan and Anakin's duel on Mustafar in ROTS. It's garbage, not even the turn-your-brain-off action scenes are engaging. Ewan seems to be the only one giving it his all but the writing is worse than Lucas' so his character was doomed from the start
You’re pathetic, get a life
Yeah, I'm thinking we're back
>Let's just mess around and practice sword fighting with our dangerous laser swords that we could easily accidentally kill each other with
It's like practicing paintball with AR 15s,
Training sabers exist in canon, moron.
They're Jedi. The force enhances their reflexes and makes such accidents near impossible.
so why are they practicing at all
if they get killed in training theyre too weak for the battlefield you silly boy
spartan style
how did they manage to make the cgi look worse than in the prequels?
>how did they manage to make the cgi look worse than in the prequels?
Because the show has no budget. Disney knows they will make bank through nostalgia. No need to do any work.
Because it’s not greenscreen.
It’s all LED screen backgrounds.
Budget ain't that high either
They could have done this for the entire series and it would have been 1000% better than Obi-Wan saving Leia over and over.
This should've been the first episode
he was a good friend
One of the worst de-aged I've seen in a long time
>One of the worst de-aged I've seen in a long time
Anon, they literally did not try
I mean that there is NO de-age effort whatsoever
Speculation is that they wanted us to see that it wasn't a deepfake but who knows

just wait till you can find their 40 second duel online and watch that
do not get disney plus, do not bother pirating it
it's terrible
Hayden's Anakin is on screen maybe 1% of the series so far. Kenobi might be on the 40-50-60% bracket, depending on the episode.
Anakin only showed up now. Obi Wan is about half the show. Leia and The third Dindu make about the other half of the show. Vader maybe 5-10%?
Why do they bait people into thinking it'll focus on the characters they like only to focus on the shitty ones?

you see when they last met he was but the learner but he really wants to be the master
But he has, he 4d chess'd Reva
>when they last met he was but the learner but he really wants to be the master
Only a master of evil, Darth
>nice dubs btw
Because TCW is fricking garbage and is part of the reason Star Wars is as shitty as it is right now.
Anakin has the Youngling Slayer in this scene which means they are either in the early days of the war or that the prop department didn't bother watching the movies their job is based on.
its obviously between episodes 2 and 3
It's before 2.
Anakin has both of his arms
It's still his episode 2 lightsaber, they look almost the exact same anyway.
To the Emperor they all look the same.
>strongly imply emperor is beyond using lightsabers
>just kidding here's a lightsaber duel between yoda and the emperor
Because they wanted Anakin being a padawan during the flashback for it to make sense in the "master and apprentice" plot.

did they forget to de-age this shot..?
I don't think they forgot, I think they just decided not to.
Doesn't really make a difference. Hayden has good genes for a 41 year old.
He might look better if he wasn't a smoker
he looks great but not 19, thats it
he looks like a 41 year old
Why didn't they de-age him digitally? They certainly have the technology for this.
The money that would have gone to paying for that was embezzled by the producers, along with 90% of the budget for this train wreck
I don't it costs much, i mean there's tons of free aps online that can do that
zero effort
would've looked uncanny valley
I think Disney is kind of broke after having to close down the park for so long
De aging looks like shit every time
Not true.
The new Terminator it looked amazing.
The movie sucked, but the de-aged Linda Hamilton was fricking God tier.
Kurt Russel in Guardians of the Galaxy was the best one ever done.

bros........
You did get TCW and it was complete dogshit to shill Filoni OCs
OH MY GOD IM SOIPOGGING THE FRICK OUT RIGHT NOW HOLY POGGERS MY HECKIN FAV CHARACTERS FROM MY HECKIN FAV MOVIE I LOVE STAR WARS I LOVE STAR WARS I LOVE STAR WARS POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOG
What a horrible cut. Anakin takes a swing at Kenobi and it suddenly cuts to Vader looking out a window. Granted, the shot with vader is alright, but it's just edited horribly.
It's a flashback Vader's having, genuis
I always wonder about these kind of training scenes in SW, what happens if one of them is having an off day and the other one beheads them accidentally? It always seems stupid to practice with lightsabers when the slightest mistake can cause death
There's a non lethal setting on the lightsaber for training purposes. I think it turns down the energy being emitted from the blade/dulls it or something. They showed it in Rebels when Kanan was training Ezra iirc
>lasersword
?t=74
what the frick
I think they've been called laser swords in TCW as well, definitely by Hondo at least.
the control is just for the length and it still moronic
It's a different scene. Ironically the training setting for lightsabers in Rebels makes the lightsabers dimmer like the LED ones they use in the Disney era. They really aren't bright enough in live action anymore.
Jedi can deflect blaster bolts with them. I dont think its too hard to believe that they can also pull their blows with insane accuracy.
They shouldn't be fighting like this in a training session. At least in Rebels they had training sabers. Why is Obi Wan holding his saber like a homosexual and not using his normal style? Verdict: NOT KINO.
You think anyone on the production even knows anything about lightsaber forms? To them it's all swing glowing stick, wooshy and woovy noises.
gay here. I don't hold my saber like that.
unironically looks like dogshit, the choreography is terribly slow and wonky, just like the sequel trilogy
Episode 3 is the fastest light saber duels we got. Also vader is slow as in the comics because his prosthetics are wonky and heavy so he has to use the force to even move.
It would be funny to get Hayden to sign that at a con.
>gay movements
>gayer back to back contact
>lens flare
verdict: gay

I sleep.
Ashoka isn't part of the Skywalker saga.
The Skywalkers weren't part of the last 3 films in the Skywalker Saga.
Of course they were.
Luke and Leia appear in all 3 films of the sequel trilogy. Not to mention Kylo Ren while having the last name Solo is the last person in Anakin's bloodline. He dies in the last film of the "Skywalker Saga" meaning that the series tells the entire story of that family from beginning to end.
oh my god what happened to your faaace
I THINK REVA SUCKS
based coolsville poster
Should have been the entire series.
>WOW THE HECKING PREQUELS
>KINO KINO KINO
do redditors really stop you from enjoying anything?
No, obnoxious Cinemaphiletards who hate everything except an overrated kids franchise, keep me from enjoying anything
>this is where the early bird special begins
>owie ouch ouch, please mr. stormtrooper you are hurting my brittle arms
i liked the episode though
>use massive gun to shoot at a door multiple times
>still closed
>slice it with a lightsaber
>instantly opens
Why did they even bother shooting it?
she impaled through the portion that had been shot so I assume it was weakened enough for her to get through
>No flying cars in Corusant of all places
>Anakin looks older than Obi Wan
Small Indie studio prease understand. They only had 25 million per episode
episode was unexpectedly good until they decided to leave Reva alive for no reason
>Yet another episode where Obi Wan barely escapes because of plot magic and villains turning stupid
>T-Thank you Disney. I kneel to this amazing writing because Vader held a space ship through the force
Star Wars fans really gobble up any garbage as long as it carries the name
to be fair, star wars has never been rocket science, pun intended
it's true that some fans are easily satisfied, but it's doubly true that people's expectations are incredibly high for what is essentially their nostalgia talking
>some
Despite the Internet consensus pointing to Rise of Skywalker being a total flop, general audience opinions rate it rather highly. Fans are very easily pleased.
>general audience opinions rate it rather highly
The ST came at a time where it could still coast off the previous 6 movies' hype.
>Vader held a space ship through the force
That's a hole in itself. If he can bring down one, why not the other?
his abilities were on cooldown
>plot magic and villains turning stupid
homie have you even watched star wars
>PLEASE DISNEY I WANT MORE SHITTY REPETITIVE WRITING EVERY EPISODE THANK YOU
Like a battered wife
REMEMBER ANAKIN SKYWALKER???!!?
I liked the lesson, how you can be too forceful and direct in something and walk right into a trap
The fight without fighting was a clever Sun Tzu reference too.
Underrated post
I wonder if the ST cast is feeling like shit watching fans lose their minds over 30 seconds with Hayden while they are all completely forgotten.
>Darth Wall
>kino
Curb your desperation, my friend
There's still time for another flashback, anons. We might still get TCW Anakin.
Chewie.... We're home...
what's with the color filter?
lmao can someone gif the last 5 seconds
what the frick is she doing crawling on the floor?
too hurt to stand up immediately from the lightsaber she took through the gut
I like how Vadar isnt trying to hit her at all her some reason.
>When I left you I was the learner now I am the master
I cried manly tears. That's all that counts. Now I finally want my reddit gold
he knows he will win because of his arrogance and that she could never do shit to him because she's just a pointless youngling still in his eyes
lol wow you star wars gays deserve shit like this
The fight is garbage but Vader stealing her saber and going Jar'Kai for that split second is actually fricking cool.
Vader didn't even try. He didn't even need his lightsaber in the beginning. He was toying with her.
>is that TWO heckin' lightsabers?
Yes. Jar'kai is kino, simple as.
>actually fricking cool
jesus christ, stop drinking onions for a millisecond.
Shut the frick up, moron. It's ass, everything Disney has done with Star Wars is ass, all I said was that split second was cool.
have a nice day, Black person.
I bet you started clapping during the fight sequence as well
Get some reading comprehension, Black person
You don't need to bet when it's true. That's what these morons love doing watching garbage with characters they know.
that is hilariously bad lol
so why wasn't a certain level of physicality a requirement for that role?
You know why. They needed a black actres, not the best actress for the role.
SMALL INDIE COMPANY ANON
Lmao even Vader doesn't move because he knows he doesn't need to and the moronic b***h will bleed to death by herself any second
I remember being a Star Wars fan.
Good times of enjoying some simplistic fun, not always high quality but moderately good.
Now we have this. I hate you Disney.
>not hyped for a single of the few SW games that have come since 2015's Battlefront trailer and AT-AT on rails
>Movies started with a bland rehash and ok spinoff both with many flaws and then completly shit the bed with TLJ

>The so called "canon" keeps mutating and growing grotesque like a tumour making the shit people complained about of the EU seem a benign mole in comparison.
It's depressing that it has come to this point
Jedi Fallen Order is decent. It's like Obi Wan but without the poor direction and writing. Literally.
>Jedi Fallen Order is decent
no, its not, its mediocre, specially after playing Force Unleashed 1 and "2".
TFU is shit.
you are shit
>specially after playing Force Unleashed "2"
Jesus is it that bad?
Zoomerinos like you should just shut the frick up and play actual combat kino before talking shit
I'm 30 years old and I've played all jedi knights and academy, you're a moron.
They made Starkiller way too powerful in those games. It's the reason why those games will never be canon.
homie thats half the fun, and the story was green lighted by George himself, stay mad b***h
I like the games though.
Honestly I knew all this would happen as soon as Disney bought the franchise, I had seen it happen with Marvel already. Though I didn't think they'd ruin everything so thoroughly.
At this point, I just watch the old movies every now and then and replay KOTOR 1&2 and the OG Battlefront 2 every 1-2 summers.
I've been trying to replay kotor1 but I always forget how much of a slog Taris is, especially trying to do it level 2
I enjoy the challenge but that's just me, it's true it's not the best planet.
I guess just push yourself thinking with every step you take you're one step closer to getting out of Taris and reaching the cool shit. I fricking love Manaan.
Should I just turn off my autism and level up anyway? Even the guys on /vrpg/ say staying level 2 is unnecessary minmaxing.
Honestly, you should have fun first and foremost, if you aren't, change it. Wanna level up? Go ahead and have fun.
I do stay at lvl 2 but that's because yeah, I'm an autist.
If you choose to stay at lvl 2, use other character as the leader so they can tank. And remember to give the protag the best equipment if you do the arena, leaving it for last and spamming grenades in the last few enemies to beat it.
I remember when the greatest fear/joke was that Disney was going to turn Star Wars into some travesty with shitty Disneychannel teen actors.
In retrospect that'd be like at least putting some lube before raping the franchise
>making the shit people complained about of the EU seem a benign mole in comparison.
I really don't know how anyone familiar with the EU could think this. The canon as of right now is more cohesive than the EU ever was. That's not a statement about quality, either; I like parts of the EU.
>The canon as of right now is more cohesive than the EU ever was.
In several occassions the new canon has contradicted itself, not only with the original saga but also with other works within it.
EU seems more cohesive in many ways despite for example, major plot points like the DS plans, and they didn't even try let alone boast that they have a canon approval council that's just a bunch of overweight feminists and possibly that cuck of Pablo Hidalgo.
conchetumare la wea mala
Prequel aimless spinning syndrome is back I see
You know that little telegraphed step she does at the beginning, to her left? Vader had all the time in the world to cut her in half.
literally Xena in space
The prequels are shit. This show is shit. Poetry.
I sense much anger in you young one.
I am what Lucasfilm has made me.
Hello Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi it is I imperial senator Bail Organa. I know that you said no communication but I needed to know that Darth Vader has not found out about his children Luke and Leia Skywalker. If you do not respond to this message I will travel to Tatooine and locate Owen the stepbrother of Darth Vader because he is currently taking care of Darth Vaders son Luke Skywalker.
Not the most classified message to send I suppose.
WE KNEEL TO DISNEY THANK YOU I WANT TO GOBBLE UP MORE DISNEY CUM PLEEEEEASE MAKE MORE SHOWS ABOUT CHARACTERS I KNOW FROM STAR WAAAAAAARS AT-ST AT-ST AT-ST AT-ST AT-ST AT-ST AT-ST AT-ST AT-ST AT-ST AT-ST AT-ST AT-ST
I can't believe he sent that message.
>If it's intercepted, you're fricked, Bail.
Wait, he still should be.
Too confusing, needs to be more specific.
>introduce a potential love interest for Obi Wan
>kill her off
Wasted potential. I like the show so far though, even though I saw that Reva twist coming since like the first episode. I didn't see her becoming a good guy, but her being a youngling.
anyone that knew the background of the inquisitors in general going into the show and used their eyes during the first order 66 scene in the show has known she was a youngling for weeks now
OMG OMG OMG I RECOGNIZE THAT CHARACTER
Why didn't they de-age him like Luke? He looks like 20 years older than he was in AOTC...
He looks older than Obi Wan which is pretty funny
isn't that an effect from using dark side of the force?
This is pre SandBlack person combo kill
>shoot a scene 20 years later
>"WHY DOES HE LOOK OLDER"
This might surprise you but films and shows are not actually real.
This is Disney who has gone all in on deaging technology and CGI corpses, see new Indiana Jones, Luke in Mandalorian, Peter Cushing in Rogue One. This would've been pretty easy to do too, they aren't so old as to need to fake the whole thing like Mark Hamill
>only anakin flashback we get in the whole show
>it's short and pre-AOTC anakin
I hate this world
what do they keep in those little pockets, are they full of candy?
Disney should have done a Battle for Jabiim spin-off in the vein of Rogue One. Could have been absolute kino and re-introduced Hayden years ago.
Prease understand. TCW and Rebels are more important than your EU material
Republic was actually really good though and whenever they ripped something from there for Hackloni's projects they turned it to shit.
TCW is just "Let's steal from other media mostly Star Wars EU and make it waaaaay worse" the show. Really the first sign of things to come with Disney's Star Wars
TCW like to meme about le ebin warcrimes Anakin and Obi Wan did but based Alpha was advocating to kill the wounded and execute the political opposition in another panel of the Jabiim arc
Why not just remake the prequels, but actually make them good? Make an alternative timeline or whatever.
they should have remade the entire saga years ago
Yeah by the masters behind Obi-Wan and the Book of Boba Fett right
>the zoomers riding rainbow coloured bikes
holy shit why did they do this
by someone who cares, clearly there's people who cares, Disney just need to sign the checks, but they're sort of broke right now so they're probably not going to take any risks for some time.
unironically
The original trilogy is overrated
>New Hope is only noteworthy for its groundbreaking visual effects (for the time), meanwhile, everything else is rather bland, including characters
>Return of Jedi, is only known for memes and Slave Leia
A lot of more could be done.
Return of the Jedi is 50% a great movie, but its the beginning of the end in several aspects, "a certain point of view" is the tip of the shit covered iceberg. I would remake everything from the ground up to tell a cohesive story instead of coming up with new bullshit every couple of years.
Spiderman has been redone 3 fricking times already.
Remakes are cancer.
So is Star Wars right now, its Frankenstein's monster, decades old corpses drunkenly stitched up together
So it should've ended already. Preferably in 1983. But remakes just court disaster.
>So it should've ended already. Preferably in 1983
agreed, but we both know that won't ever, EVER, happen so
>remakes just court disaster
as opposed to what we have now? do you really prefer more sequels and prequels detailing the 5 minutes between episodes 2 and 3 when Anakin got angry because he was constipated and couldn't take a proper space shit?
enough is enough, either stop or re do it properly
But that's just it. Star Wars doesn't need to be that. The history and scope of the setting are nigh-endless. It can't get out from under the stupid because the stupid is where the money is. That's why the High Republic is just some novels and comics while Obi-Wan Kenobi is a multimillion dollar production. Rebooting doesn't fix this problem.
Who knows; maybe The Acolyte will be good and start the healing process. Or maybe it won't.
>The history and scope of the setting are nigh-endless
this contradicts with
>That's why the High Republic is just some novels and comics while Obi-Wan Kenobi is a multimillion dollar production
Kenobi is a TV show because producers think hat Star Trek: TNG can't work with Star Wars because the sequel trilogy was made like shit. They only think that if they pile enough new garbage on top of the old wonky shit then young people will latch on in the long run.
I think they literally need to do Star Wars: TNG but 1000 years in the future or remake the whole saga but cohesive.
>retell the three movies as 10-episode tv-shows with 50 million per episode
God I wish
Good to know that Star Wars Blacks are so stupid and brain starved that a insiginifacnt scene makes them cum
>insignificant scene
It directly ties to everything else in the episode, though
It doesn't. The prequels themselves already exist you dumb shit. All it does is just say with words what the pea brain audience like you should already know
No, it does
It has Obi Wan absolutely body Anakin without the use of a lightsaber and Vader does the same to Reva
The Grand Inquisitor should have flown in with his lightsaber helicopter like they are used in Rebels.
Vader doesn't approve of sabercopter, he turned off Reva's real quick
Where did this light saber copter come from it's so fricking dumb. It's the height of dumb shit.
From the genius and savior behind Star Wars: Filoni
Let's just give a kneel of respect to our messiah for creating Star Wars' Team Rocket
wtf
The inquisitors are one of the gayest and most unnecessary things created by Filoni and Disney. They were obviously just an excuse to create more donut steels the same way sequel characters like Captain Phasma were.
>there are only ever two sith
>except for these jobbers who do the exact same things as sith but are weaker than Darth Vader
>and by the way Darth Maul is still alive xD
>>and by the way Darth Maul is still alive xD
This one is actually Lucas's fault.
Maul is an interesting character.
No he isn't. He is supposed to be the monstrous op as frick dark side user apprentice and he never left that stage in TCW just being religated to jobbing to Filoni OCs
They're basically Sith Padawans. They're strong with the force but not strong enough to become a Sith.
>watching episode
>its bretty good
>Darth Vader is actually BTFOing Reva
>He stabs her
>I'm excited as shit
>For some reason they leave her alive
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
shes going to go and try to murder luke to get back at vader (even though he doesnt know luke exists)
It's going to be a "Martha" moment where she's getting ready to kill Luke but has a flashback and realizes that she has become what she hates.
>Luke did I ever told you about that Black person that came into your house one day and tried to kill you?
Because they are idiots.
for
That's pretty gud.
Yeah, Republic comics and Legacy are surprisingly decent.
Bane?
No, durge
He is still a big guy
Yeah but this was years before.
Also, just realized the Durge stuff is from the 5 issue series Obsession, not Republic.
Hey it's the same guy from the OG Clone Wars, right?
Yup
Yeah, it's him panels before Anakin throws that homie into a sun.
>huh, I saw you look at that girl. You want to frick her, don't you Anakin? FRICK HER? YOU WANT TO FRICK HER RIGHT HERE AND NOW, AM I CORRECT
Jesus Obi Wan
Seeing all that qt Jediettes butchered on moronic missions is what really turned him into Darth Vader.
I CLAPPED
I CLAPPED WHEN I SAW IT
I miss when Star Wars was just the originals and the EU
>Cinemaphile thinks something soi wars related is kino now
Sometimes they do good stuff in Star Wars and sometimes they do stupid stuff. There's so many people working on these films and shows that it can't be kino all the time. No reason to get angry over it though.
this is when Star Wars peaked
if they’re gonna do this why not just do a live action clone wars show
Because Disney would take Anakin and Obi Wan[s' story and make it about Ahsoka and some random token negress inserted in it.
Why would they do that, we already have a Clone Wars show and know what happened during that era.
They'll have Anakin flashbacks in the Ashoka(TM) show where his forceghost will sacrifce himself to save her from Darth Thrawn who travelled back in time through force time travel and kill the emperor. Then Mara will fall in love with her and now you understand why Luke will never have sex and why Anakin didn't give a shit about converting Ben Solo or warning Luke.
Trust the plan
>yfw we could have had this
>instead of we get Darth Sheeboon
You really want to watch Ewan get it on with Jada Plinkett Smith?
We could have gotten true coomer kino if Disney followed Lucas' vision
>Shitty sheebons instead of Darth Talon
THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!
Legacy trilogy would have been nice.
>they never even got to have hot sweaty interspecies sex
feelsbadman
Imagine being this big disney shill
It looks so fricking bad.
The editing and cinematography are fricking terrible in this show, it's like some interns made it
NO HECKIN WAY
IT'S ANAKIN!
REMEMBER ANAKIN?
REMEMBER OBI-WAN?
REMEMBER LIGHTSABERS?
DARTH VADER!
WOW!
I CAN'T WAIT TO BUY DISNEY PLUS!!
Star Wars and capeshit need containment threads
Yes because what we need is new original characters like in the sequel trilogy.
>Sequel trilogy
>Original character
Who? Not!Luke or Not!Vader?
>new original characters
It'll all be diversity shit that nobody will watch. That's why they keep dredging up old shit like Ewan's Obi Wan
The Enemy can't create anon. He can only pervert
Star Wars will just keep making the same shows and movies about the same characters over and over again for the next 100 years until Disney gets control of the government. State mandated basedfacing is just over the horizon.
>you are not allowed to like things I dont
leave and be miserable somewhere else autist
When i saw Anakin on screen I literally cried, bros, we are going home....back to kino....wow....I fricking love Star Wars. I. am. shaking.
This show was shit but it would have been slightly less shit if they hired a choreographer for the fight scenes. These lightsaber duels were just bad. Stiff and unconvincing. If only they could have gotten that one thing right at least we'd have had a few kino webms out of this fiasco, but no.
Every show has a choreographer. Do you honestly think that the actors just show up on set and decide themselves what to do. Holy frick the state of this fricking board.
>What is hyperbolic speech
It looks like they were trying to do a middle ground between the OT's deliberate, calculated samurai-esque duels and the kinetic, fast gymnastic duels. They clearly failed. Everything looks incredibly clunky and forced in the show like they're going through the motions of a dance than actively trying to kill each other with laserswords.
>in the show like they're going through the motions of a dance
You're right, not only is the choreography shit, but it doesn't look like the actors had a lot of time to rehearse it
*and the Prequels' kinetic, fast gymnastic duels
It's like a bad Dancing with the Stars (Wars) contestant, but NONE of them have had any practice beyond maybe a week of barely learning a routine. Compare that to the months of practiced choreography the Prequels took for each film, culminating in Obi-Wan and Anakin's duel on Mustafar in ROTS. It's garbage, not even the turn-your-brain-off action scenes are engaging. Ewan seems to be the only one giving it his all but the writing is worse than Lucas' so his character was doomed from the start
>how do you do fellow younglings
So is the Black person lady actually good??
Jews are so cringe
