they glow and they're not supposed to
they look like rave glowsticks lmao, it's terrible
you'd think lucasarts would be able to spot something this bad and obvious immediately, but not anymore i guess
Ever since the sequel trilogy the lightsabers have actual LEDs in them. It's a good idea, but the lighting on the actors is WAY too blue. They should have made half of them blue and half of them white.
It's a mind game thing I think. Like imagine you alternate striking them from left and then right and they keep blocking so then you suddenly swing from the right 3 times in a row. I don't know anything about real fencing btw
It was a bit sussy when Leia vented and then worked on the electrical tasks! I cant believe the Lola droid was an imposter! And then the e
Evil lady was an imposter too! Very sussy episode all arround!
Why don't they make a live action clone wars series with them now before they get so irremediably old that CGI can't get rid of their wrinkles anymore?
>LED glowsticks in broad daylight
aside from that, easily the best part of the show
though I don't know why they didn't apply de-aging technology when they've done it with Luke in bobf
I like that the sabers give off light and illuminate things around them, but they are too bright, that's all, they need to find a better middle ground for this
Read the thread moron, theyre LED glowsticks and cast light around them which illuminates everything and makes it look cheap as hell. Literal fanfilm tier
instead of just a thin stick that they use to put CGI on later they are now actual glow sticks now that emit light, which is kinda cool, because it illuminates the characters as well, but they make them too bright and thick in post, so they look like batons instead of swords, they should tone down the CGI
What the frick? Now I am actually curious about watching Kenobi.
Is this just some sort of flashback scene or what?
Why can't we get a full series of this instead of some bullshit that's been going on for the last four episodes?
It's a flashback scene sprinkled through one episode. The scene might be 2 min long when all put together. They really missed the mark by introducing the corporate-mandated diversity hires and powerful female characters, they waltz through the plot with everything magically falling into place for them and really subtract from what should've been the core of the series (Kenobi and Anakin). Plus the direction and overall budget feel of the series is really sub-par and jarring most of the time. Disney are moronic.
It actually isn’t an awful scene, it interweaves the narrative beats throughout the episode well and feels more Star Wars than anything else in the series so far. Try not to sound like such a contrarian prick >reminiscing cool things is… LE BAD
>it interweaves the narrative beats throughout the episode
It's something that should have been done throughout the entire series. Kenobi having flashbacks to unseen moments with Anakin should have been the opening shot and continued throughout. Each episode having a moment from the past that intertwines with the present. Helping Obi-Wan process his grief.
There's so much being left on the table with this series. Obi Wan will probably end on a high note but it's one of the most poorly written pieces of media I've seen since, well, Rise of Skywalker.
They can add cgi luke but can't de-age ourguy enough to make him look younger than 50? Also I didn't dislike reva's character for the first time in this episode
Its a "what if" kinda thing I guess. IIRC Anakin was early 20's in ROTS so he should be 30's at the latest. Im honestly still happy with how it turned out.
shit your right I didn't notice the braid. ALLTHOUGH im pretty sure he had the braid even with the mullet in ROTS. Its hard to say because I doubt the vision the people making it actually had. It makes sense as both from what I can tell. Its both Vader remembering being fricked with by Obi-Wan and its Current day Obi-wan still fricking with him

bro obi wan was also using his 2nd lightsaber (the replica of his episode 1 one) while in 3 he used his last model. it's obviously set before episode 2 because he lost that saber in episode 2. anakin didn't have a braid in 3

The braid is specifically a padawan thing. He lost it once he became a Knight.
Chows direction is really poor. The battle scene was just so bad. There were a couple shots that looked good and logically made sense but most of it looked like some amateur college student but they somehow had a Disney budget
it kept cutting way too quickly and it was kind of strange in the sense of people just stood around shooting at each other for a bit and slowly backed up into an even tighter area. some of the people had shield but the other people were awkwardly crouching in front of them
like everything else in the series, it feels like it was extremely rushed and shot on a tiny sound stage
>hulk smashing with the saber like luke in ROTJ
based but also cringe
nothing in star wars can ever be left alone. everything must be a callback. P O T T E R Y
I hated the logic of it. Troopers pouring in and a dozen or more rebels (?) Shooting and hitting nothing while standing their ground and also not being shot. Just didn't look like a real battle at any point. And what was that shot of verinas wife judo throwing some trooper that was tripping past her? It all felt very amateur but is more off putting bc of the obviously decent budget
They are just phoning it in like they always do. I don't wanna watch the last episode and just hear spoilers on here but the Vader stuff was kinda kino so I'll probably just watch it
the only slight credit i can give the show is that it's not as bad as it could be considering the original scripts were torn up just before production was meant to start and it has had a rocky development history being put on hiatus multiple times. it feels weirdly cheap as well so i'd be curious to know what the actual budget was.
i don't know who deborah chow but it feels like she doesn't know what's she doing very well. there's a weird disconnect between what the show wants you to feel and what you actually feel. taking tala for example, we barely know her and she gets this epic send off with the swelling music and it's like we barely know her or care about her. she said saw the empire be mean big whoop. not to mention the weird pacing where the shoehorn in humor randomly. frick that fake jedi guy. delete him from the show
this is literally the only scene from Kenobi I genuinely liked. deage Hayden a bit and put him in Clone Wars series. each episode could be a different battle.
I would actually watch it on Disney. but even they might frick that up.
overall Kenobi isn't very good but the Anakin scene killed it.
it was a great scene. i liked the bit with vader crushing the ship as well though it obviously begs the question why doesn't he just do that all time but lets not bother going down that rabbit hole. i can't remember anything from the previous 4 episodes i liked that much. maybe the ghost of anakin that obi wan saw for a bit and owen lars mogging reva

I didn't see that scene with Vader, I stopped watching awhile ago. i watched the scene on youtube. I've seen a few others that didn't interest me but I couldn't miss seeing Anakin.
I can't believe they didn't totally frick up and some how frick his character up.
This shit ties up all the loose ends that have pissed off so called SW fans and yet these supposed fans still find things to b***h about. jesus. frick people like Nerdrotic and Overlord DVD for seeding such hatred into geek fandoms.
What I ment was that they were things supposed fans b***hed about constantly. like the weather or not the grand Inquisitor was dead. or why Reva was so angry all the time. Or why Kenobi kept running away. He was back to old Kenobi in this episode and people still b***hed.
He's actually a good actor he was just given shitty lines and shitty director in the prequels, so he came off wooden. he was better in this scene portraying the personality than in the prequels
>best parts of subscription app series are flashbacks to twenty year old movies which have superior effects
I remember Attack of the Clone's main selling point was it was the first digital movie which became appreciated when the DVDRip and Bonus DiSCRip hit that fall.
The toy Gunship and 12" Jango Fett doll were my most valued possessions.

I just wanted to see Hayden and Ewan fighting again. I got that. I just wanted to see Vader be badass. I go that. The prequels were shit and so is this slop, but much like a Happy Meal from McBlack folk, I got the satisfaction I was looking for.
Reminder that Plinky the Fat Frick reignited prequel hate in 2009 which made George sell Star Wars to Disney. He’s complicit in the creation of the sequel trilogy.
Because you zoomer fricks have been memeing him since 2005 and youve dietefied him in your minds after seeing his image for two decades relentlessly so when you see him actually do it, you think its kino. but its trash.
But why would they make a tv shows, with a big budgets and potential wide audience from a being spinoff of popular movies, a spinoff of a shitty cartoon that nobody watched instead? what the frick is the idea?
Hayden is kino on the same magnitude as say, Ryan Gosling. He's got this sweet combination of attractiveness with sadness and rage behind his eyes that really works with top-tier characters like Anakin Skywalker. We will never have something like that again. We really didn't deserve George.
you're fricking moronic, rewatch the fight the choregraphy pace is unmatched there. Not one single fight in the entire franchise surpass this. >inb4 the 0.2 twirling bs
not an argument.
not better than Anakin vs Obiwan in RoTS frick off.
you're fricking moronic, rewatch the fight the choregraphy pace is unmatched there. Not one single fight in the entire franchise surpass this. >inb4 the 0.2 twirling bs

Obi vs Ani in ROTS was unparalleled and will never be beaten.
It's an awful scene meant to nostalgia pander.
Absolute kino. The choreography and camera work are great, unlike in all the other action scenes in the series.
the camera randomly shaking for no reason as soon as they start fighting is incredibly not kino
Disagree. 0:10 looks particularly awkward.
Why are they fighting with lightsabers? Wouldn't that be dangerous?
Its light sparing.
Jedi have precognition.
The lightsabers do look different to the movies. I don't know what it is.
they glow and they're not supposed to
they look like rave glowsticks lmao, it's terrible

lucasfilm, lucasarts was the video game studio
Ever since the sequel trilogy the lightsabers have actual LEDs in them. It's a good idea, but the lighting on the actors is WAY too blue. They should have made half of them blue and half of them white.
They're training lightsabers not real ones. It's why Anakin isn't hacking holes in the floor.
Why do you morons keep saying this? Just for the (You)?
Those are low power training ones. They sting, but not dismember
That's Star Wars
this is what i hoped a lot of the series would be
Another cheap-looking desaturated mess in the vein of Marvel movies.
They lost the clone wars because they never tried to strike at the enemies body, just their weapons.
It's a mind game thing I think. Like imagine you alternate striking them from left and then right and they keep blocking so then you suddenly swing from the right 3 times in a row. I don't know anything about real fencing btw

Its LITTERLY the same as in clone wars when Anakin starts using his rage.
His homework payed off
>bright day outside
>interior is dark
why isn't this the show?
I'd watch that.
>why isn't this the show?
Because OWK is a 6 episode commercial for Reva’s new show.

Because blackrock has more money than you do.
who?

Evil lady was an imposter too! Very sussy episode all arround!
Pretty good fight cause it's just that same part from the rots fight but what the frick is with the framing? Absolutely awful
I really hate seeing Anakin and Obi-Wan with the LED glowing lightsabers. I sort of hate the effect in general.
I do like Anakin using the RotJ "Luke in the throne room" big chops though.
The only good scene in the entire show. It's almost worth watching it for this alone
Why don't they make a live action clone wars series with them now before they get so irremediably old that CGI can't get rid of their wrinkles anymore?
They probably don't want to step on Lucas' and Filoni's toes since the Clone Wars was a thing for 7 seasons.
>LED glowsticks in broad daylight

Why do lightsabers looks so off and weird in Disney star wars?
Read the thread moron, theyre LED glowsticks and cast light around them which illuminates everything and makes it look cheap as hell. Literal fanfilm tier

It seems like everything these days has to subvert expectations.

I haven't seen it yet

why do people keep saying this? its obviously a flashback training session from somewhere around ep2-3 since he has his ep2 padawan hair
Because Anakin has short hair and is older? You might be right but I actually did like how it was a portrayal of Obi-Wan fricking with him abit
>Because Anakin has short hair
yes, the same short hair from ep2 with the padawan braid
shit your right I didn't notice the braid. ALLTHOUGH im pretty sure he had the braid even with the mullet in ROTS. Its hard to say because I doubt the vision the people making it actually had.

The braid is specifically a padawan thing. He lost it once he became a Knight.
This is before episode 2 though cause I'm pretty sure he didn't have his robo hand
He has his AotC lightsaber and two flesh hands, so it's before AotC.
CG Luke is pig disgusting
He is ok. Did they even try to de age Hayden? Or what was that?
They didn't de-age Hayden or Ewan
Well that explains it. Lazy like the rest of Disney wars
Couple of nerds did better than 90m episode
Chows direction is really poor. The battle scene was just so bad. There were a couple shots that looked good and logically made sense but most of it looked like some amateur college student but they somehow had a Disney budget

The "loose ends" were not loose ends if you actually had a brain
What I ment was that they were things supposed fans b***hed about constantly. like the weather or not the grand Inquisitor was dead. or why Reva was so angry all the time. Or why Kenobi kept running away. He was back to old Kenobi in this episode and people still b***hed.
What about the cannon breaking stuff? Can we still b***h about that?
what canon breaking stuff?
He's actually a good actor he was just given shitty lines and shitty director in the prequels, so he came off wooden. he was better in this scene portraying the personality than in the prequels
Kinda sad that in behind the scenes stuff you can actually see him being pretty charming and fun in between takes. George did him dirty.
I enjoyed it but we really need to stop Deborah Chow from directing shit.
what is the official explanation for leia's original transmission to obiwan where she appears to have never met him?
she was a good friend
>Can’t handle the epic lightsaber fight of Reva vs Vader
Just wait til episode 6, Reva is going to pop off on Lord Vader

Was she actually stabbed as a child or was that just like a hallucination blend of the two events?
I wasn’t talking about her as a kid, Vader double stabbed her after splitting her saber

Reminder that Plinky the Fat Frick reignited prequel hate in 2009 which made George sell Star Wars to Disney. He’s complicit in the creation of the sequel trilogy.
i thought george was in danger of losing all his shit because of a bad investment or something
Because you zoomer fricks have been memeing him since 2005 and youve dietefied him in your minds after seeing his image for two decades relentlessly so when you see him actually do it, you think its kino. but its trash.

They're inquisitors. They have no respect for any of that shit. And some dude wrote this into a cartoon first so blame him.

Frick off. I think in the end they showed 1 (ONE) rebel getting shot in the entire scene. The stormtroopers should have been able to massacre them.
God, throw a bit of fan service at Star Wars fans and you'll eat up and forgive everything won't you?

The fight choreography was shit but I did like his performance, luckily George wasn't around to frick it up.
