>She fricking throws a box
she force-throws the box at an acceleration greater than speeder's escape thrust; so much greater that the impact causes the speeder to practically vaporize.
The original prototype for the Death Star was just putting Reva in the firing chamber and giving her a near-unlimited supply of boxes to throw at the planet.
That's the equivalent of a tank firing it's main gun, it's supposed to be able to take out other armored targets. Pretty sure a 155mm shell would leave a mark on the ground.
Bullets aren't made to blow up other ships you moron. The shots literally explode less than 2 minutes prior to this scene. It's just lazy writing and plot armor. Near misses should kill her from the concussive force alone.
Bullets are generally soft metal projectiles meant to be used in an anti personnel capacity while a shell is something fired out of a cannon to be used in an anti vehicle role. Shells generally have some sort of explosive charge and/or enough kinetic energy to cause fragmentation upon penetration in order to knock out whatever they're being fired at. Anything being fired out of a cannon mounted on a spacecraft would have to be more in line with our shells, otherwise it would be completely useless against anything other than personnel on the ground nice enough to stand still and wait to be shot. We actually see the cannon blasts(bolts?) exploding on the deck so all of this tracks until we encounter le ebin diversity hire, who immediately ruins everything.

Wow haha thank you anon this post is so nostalgic for me. I forgot all about this kind of kid. I used to have these conversations in primary school, where one kid decides they're the kid that is the professor of something - even though they're a dumb little kid who hasn't the first clue about anything in the world. This, combined with talking about star wars, really brought it back.

Good job cherry picking a world war two plane that specifically says it's armed with machine guns you fricking idiot. The only reason machine guns were effective in an air to air role at the time was that planes were basically made of paper mache since our engines weren't powerful enough to support anything else. Go look up the difference between a machine gun and a cannon and come back.

did you see the movie star wars? remember the parts where they take hits and their fighter doesn't explode?

Not him, but I remember that they have shields that generally have to be taken out first. Rebel ships, at least. Tie-Fighters don’t.
I’m sure when .303 British hit the scene in the late 19th century they were concerned with effectiveness against airplanes lol
Consider why they have EIGHT mgs. Even with armor piercing ammo you still have what is essentially an infantry weapon fitted into a vehicle.
yeah a normal functioning mind, that is how the scene plays out less moronic
>the speeder strafes the deck >indirect fire causes some of those power cell things to explode >plot armor >that buys time for other speeder to escape >emboldened by this, guy goes in for another pass >pissed off b***h recovers and uses force to throw thing at on-coming speeder >POV shot of box coming right at him, as homage to the POV shots in ESB.
anything but the awkward stilted shit they settled on.
yeah like show that theres explosives on the deck, and then she kills him with the explosive using her force powers after she gets dark side angry or something
just having speedy ships be speedy, and showing something being explosive before it explodes, and her not throwing it faster than the speedy ship helps
>as homage to the POV shots in ESB.
that's something a director or cinematographer would suggest. These are tv episodes filmed by a ? "showrunner"? teleplay designer? i dunno. but yeah there's not going to be "shots" like the camera telling a story, in this sort of shit. This is xena
>Jedi elites killed in prequels because they can't stop blasters shoot at them
Meanwhile token Black can counter fire from two snowspeeders. This is Rey level of woman power wet dream fantasy.
Aren't the inquisitors supposed to not be Sith? I know you obviously don't have to be a jedi or sith to use the force but how the FRICK can you even defend this shit? They work for/with the Sith, they are extremely proficient to the point of deflecting rapid fire lasers and using the force to move shit. They are strong in the dark side in the same was the Sith are. They're fricking Sith. if they got strong enough they could kill Vader/Palpatine and take their place. They're taught by them too. There is literally no difference between them and the Sith other than choosing not to call them Sith.
The rule of 2 is the dumbest fricking shit of all time.
They're weaker than Vader and Sheev and were likely kept that way on purpose, they aren't shit compared to a Jedi master either and quite frankly even out of practice Obiwan should be able to kill any of them with ease. Darth Maul, an actual Sith, pushes their shit in.
They're really more like sith dogs or something, they just go out and hunt/root out Jedi and that's it. They can kill weaker ones for sure but so can stormtroopers.
...the shot where the speeder is hovering to the left is evocative of a kid holding a toy in front of a camera in desperate attempt at forced perspective.
just a complete breakdown of basic logic and perspective, jesus fricking christ.
the writing of the fights are half-baked and nonsensical, which doesn't get fixed by the director, doesn't get saved by the choreographer, and doesn't even get sold by the nonathletic, awkward actors.
people bash the overly flamboyant choreography of the prequels but at the very least there wasnt gaping holes like in the sequel tril. and the actors practiced thoroughly and made it look natural.
I think Ewan just wanted to collect the huge check Disney threw at him because he sounded like he never wanted to do anything Star Wars related ever again.
I was always under the impression that the lasers shot by vehicles were sort of the equivalent of artillery rounds, and could not be blocked by a lightsaber. Sure a lightsaber can block a handgun, but an AT/AT round? Don't think so. Also, why is the landspeeder just hovering there, in all the games those things require movement to stay afloat. In fact they move quite fast, and that is their main advantage.
Also, the quick cuts and the camera angles really reek of a poorly thought scene. It feels like the person who designed this scene didn't have a good understand of the geometry of things.
How the frick is it that hard to make lightsaber combat at least somewhat salvageble???
Im not even asking for 6 months training like for prequels, or couple weeks like for sequels
But why the frick these extras movements looked fine enough, while Kenobi combat looks both lazy, simple and laughable to look at?
why the frick do they swing sabers like they are heavy?
Why the frick do they do some pointless double spins while there is nothing to deflect or protect from?
Dont get me wrong - i love PT choreography and spicy spins and twirls. THEY WERE DONE COOL, STYLISH AND FUN TO LOOK AT.
In Kenobi actors swing the sabers like they dont even know what they suppose to do.
Did nobody show actors few minutes of PT footage?
Did nobody show them basic stances and typical moves?
Why the frick do actors swing the sabers like actual bats, throwing their bodies forward like its actual two-hander swords?
it looks dumb, clumsy, annoying to look at.
and frick, it looks WORSE than cobat in fan-films.
there is literally no choreography
just dudes smashing their blades at each other.
FRICK!
Ever since Kylo Ren's crossguard, they went with the idea that swords were heavy like they were actual knights using medieval weapons under layers of armor.
I think they dropped the original idea that Jedi were like unarmored samurai.
>I think they dropped the original idea that Jedi were like unarmored samurai.
Yes. Because people b***hed. People thought every light saber fight should be like Luke vs Vader in ROTJ. What they got was Disney "teaching" actors to fight like the Vader vs Obi Wan fight in ANH and then telling them that it's supposed to be like the Luke vs Vader fight in ROTJ.
Canonically speaking, the shitty swordplay sort of makes sense in the Sequel films, but in any prequel shit it makes absolutely no sense.

Heavy lightsabers have been a thing for decades and decades
The notion existed in the OT visual dictionaries and expanded universe before the prequels
They were supposed to be very unwieldy with difficult inertia which is why it took Jedi to use them with any skill and why they weren't something any chump from across the Galaxy could use - unless they were just picking it up and using it as a tool like Han does to cut open the dead Tauntaun in ESB
People understood that high republic Jedi were more skilled and highly trained than what we were seeing Luke do, but people got fatigued from the overly choreographed swordplay in the prequels, which came to a head in ROTS where the swords looked weightless and without impact
I suspect Disney took this on board and overcorrected, making everyone look like clumsy morons when using them instead of weighty weapons requiring finesse and skilled practice
Was there ever a time before now when a lightsaber user blocked a vehicle mounted cannon? I always thought they tried to get the frick out of the way of anything larger than a blaster rifle.
Even if they did it probably didn't look as stupid as this.
The speedbike didn't hover though and the whole scene felt more kenetic and dangerous. Just quick boom boom boom, slice, explosion. No gay ass twirling or anything.
The other shit is just lame doesn't have any tension. You got that lady run like a geriatric on his way to the toilet and then does her best star wars kid impression against that hovering snow speeder.
while the speederbike in RotJ is mentioned, I think the more impressive weapon is actually the turreted gun on Jabba's sail barge. That's probably the strongest weapon I can remember from the OT.
>the turreted gun on Jabba's sail barge. That's probably the strongest weapon I can remember from the OT.
I’m pretty sure that title belongs to the Death Star

you could deflect them as normal in Jedi Knight games, and I don't see why wouldn't you be able to, it's not like they have weight
>it's not like they have weight
They should have just let Luke stay on Yavin during the attack on the death star, if it fired he could have just reflected it back with his lightsaber.
The vehicle guns, unlike the death star laser, look and function identically to normal laser guns in the series, they are just larger, but keep being a disingenuous homosexual if you want
>you could deflect them as normal in Jedi Knight games
which games? i don't recall it in jedi outcast
it's not the weight but i always assumed that there's a limit to how much they can deflect with a lightsaber, the bigger ones are also weightless lasers but they still carry much more energy than blaster rifles or pistols. it's a bit silly if they can deal with any kind of laser just fine, it kills the setting because it would be very OP if not for plot requirements. for example in phantom menace they don't want to deal with those bigger droids, there's a risk vs reward difference to fight against each kind of threat
>which games? i don't recall it in jedi outcast
It was the case both in the Jedi Outcast and in the Jedi Academy games. >there's a limit to how much they can deflect with a lightsaber
But why would there be? It's not like the lightsaber will break in half. A mirror can reflect any amount of light, the intensity doesn't really matter. >in phantom menace they don't want to deal with those bigger droids
Which ones, you mean the droideka? They simply didn't want to deal with them because they couldn't get through the shields, they still deflected the shots. I imagine if anything, a high rate of fire is what could frick up a jedi.
>A mirror can reflect any amount of light, the intensity doesn't really matter.
the mirror and everything around it will melt soon enough. and yeah the shields were the main reason they didn't want to deal with those droids in that particular scene but it makes no sense that there's no difference between big laser shots and small laser shots, it's stupid and OP, it breaks the setting
She's indistinguishable from her silhouette in action scenes? ....Huh. I wouldn't have thought it before, but the problem actually is that she's black.
She isn't bad, but she isn't great either. I think we're all reacting to the preemptive strikes against white male racist everything from both the studio and the actress, and frankly I share the reaction. Frick these people. the frick were they thinking? All I wanted to see was a well liked actor playing a beloved role and watching him flesh out the character even further, not getting screamed at and shat on. They really fricked up seriously.
>She isn't bad, but she isn't great either.
Her movements are stiff as frick, it feels like she walked in set with no practice or accumulating to the role at all. >I think we're all reacting to the preemptive strikes against white male racist everything from both the studio and the actress
That probably does stoke the fires 100% but that doesn't change the fact that she is giving a bad performance in this motion. I don't watch Disney+ shit so I can't say how she delivers dialogue but she doesn't move like a trained inquisitor would at all. >Frick these people. the frick were they thinking? All I wanted to see was a well liked actor playing a beloved role and watching him flesh out the character even further,
You have to understand, people are obsessed with adding "Their own voice" to projects they join, Obi wan isn't theirs and can't be theres, this was never going to be anything more than pandering fanservice wise and setting up future OC's to get their own shows.
They have 0 intention of "honoring the classics" they want money and they know plastering nostalgia bait will sell subscriptions, thats the end of it.
Prequels have their own issues, but George Lucas had a vision for what he wanted and, while making money was 100% important, he still cared about the story beyond its profit margin, Disney does not.
Not only does this look worse than the original trilogy (nothing will ever top them), it also looks worse than phantom menace. I don’t know what the Black person is supposed to be, but it definitely is not very “Star Wars”.
It’s incredible. Disney Star Wars keeps getting so dramatically worse that pretty soon they are going to look like citizen kane in comparison.
Does anyone actually watch this shit?
at this point you can no longer make the argument that this shit isn't designed for children anymore. Who genuinely looked at this and approves it without knowing full well that the intended audience is kids. Its impossible.
This is impressively terrible on every level. I don't even care about this black b***h being in the show anymore, it was obviously DOA regardless because there's no talent left at Lucasfilm.
There are so many layers of stupid in this sequence and what led up to it. Probably the stupidest thing I've ever seen in Star Wars. That's including the comedic scenes with droids or Jar Jar. I didn't watch Booba Fett maybe that has something worse.
I haven't watched it so I don't understand what's happening in this shot... why is that flying vehicle hovering over her a couple of meters away, wouldn't it make sense to blast the jedi from afar since they can't seem to be able to hit her at point blank anyway for some reason?
>runs like an unathletic 13 year old girl >boots clopping like they weigh 15lbs each >grimace of anger or pain; can't really tell >immeddiately stops on her mark >heels planted firmly on the ground to minimize the ability to move swiftly if need be >arms moving about as slowly as the fat kid on his first day of football practice
bravo
AN ACTION SCENE LITERALLY BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN THE MAKING
They had the opportunity to introduce a cool new character but nooooo, they do this instead. Disney's incompetence is embarrassing at this point.
If they didn't want a white woman for whatever reason, why haven't anyone at Lucasfilm thought of pic related yet? She can be outlandish and attractive at the same time, and physical roles are not a problem to her, would be a perfect SW villain. Even Zack Snyder signed her for his new project so it doesn't matter if people thinks he's a hack, Lucasfilm morons are 10 times worse
I think that in star wars vehicle classification anything that doesn't touch the ground and can't leave the atmosphere under its own power is classified as a speeder. It probably includes stuff like pod racers, which are able to get pretty far off the ground in a way more in line with an aircraft than with a car doing a sick jump.
I will never be able to understand. I show this scene to my cousins who are huge SW fanboys, and they like it? What the frick is wrong with them? Are they capable of seeing things I am not? Is this actually a great scene?
I've never seen a post with this many replies before lol. Honestly let Disney keep running this shit into the ground, it's like ironic comedy that thinks it's actually being serious. Very surreal
>Awkward running for someone in their battle rattle >Clumsy arm swinging that should be simple arm movement for someone weilding a melee weapon >Other ship just sits there doing nothing in classic "one at a time" fighting style >Able to block and deflect the equivalent of laser tank shells >Doesn't even deflect them back to try and look cool >Casually throws her arm like she's tossing a bottle in the trash
Hahahahahahaha
Why isn’t there a special effects guy working on the set to tell the writer or director that they don’t have the budget to film this and make it look good
Kubrick was told how film certain scenes in 2001 because the special effects guy said it would make it look more realistic
>as if anyone cares about whoever that was
they kill off this random character to show the stakes and consequences of conflict, but they never introduced the character so it's a completely empty moment. it reeks of writers' room motivations and doesn't connect with the actual story on screen
Not Wade!
I came to like him after the 10 seconds we spent with him.
If you need me I'll be whisper shouting top secret spy shit into an obvious microphone while sitting meters away from functional adults before I kill a supervisor by choking him out slowly and return like nothing happened moments after he chewed me out as an outsider then slap a Storm Trooper and steal his gun while you're hiding a small child in a cloak as we walk out of a busy star base.
They had to pad out the rest of the episode and give fans something to feel sad about because they played sad music and showed some literal who crying about it.
There's suspending your disbelief and there's ignoring the reality that this show is fricking stupid.
Not Wade!

How can they not get that there are certain names that just don’t lend themselves to Star Wars? Go Biblical or go alien. Imagine this scene with someone yelling “FRANK!”
Why are you chuds seething? Don't you remember how shitty fights were back in A New Hope? We had over the top star wars shit and you frickers complaint due being "over the top and not realistic". Congratulations, you got what you wanted.
>comparing the kino of 2003 Clone Wars with disney shit
The fact that an animated 2003 cartoon is better looking and more believable than a 2022 show is a problem
Nonsense. Clone Wars Cartoon was very good and entertaining. And I was unsure about it at first because I didn't like the Samurai Jack style animation.
I love how the Mandalorian was just as shit as this but Cinemaphile loved it. Proves Cinemaphile just plugs into the zeitgeist and takes whatever normalgay opinion is floating around at the time
Mando actually tried telling original, small stories and didn't have the need to stick its dick in canon as much as possible (except in the last episode).
Mando’s worst episode are still pure kino compared to this dumpster fire. >Make a show about Kenobi >Show is entirely about some side mission and giving a new character no one likes a redemption arch. >Series is almost over and we haven’t learned a single new thing about Obi-Wan other than him being a sad shell of who he was
You Nu-Wars fans have no clue…
I found it really distracting that they couldn't even keep the camera steady in this scene. And I mean even with hand-waving all the stupid shit that's happened in the story so far.
if vader would have just force choked her out and she died in this scene it may have redeemed the entire episode. have electro jackie chan tell vader that she put a tracking device on them or whatever. write that b***h out
Its the stupid video dome thing they use. It could work but instead of going crazy on the 3d environments it looks like something a sweatshop shit out in an afternoon
This location hit me particularly goofy because they accidetally (?) made the SGI-workstation aesthetic from the mid-to-early- 90s. The generic marble texture on flat low poly geometry. It's like one of the textures that comes with the workstation
The Unreal screen things are pretty much some of the coolest shit I've seen in years, and I was so pumped to see it replace full blue screen sets. But frick me, Disney has made it all look so flat and bland, like they don't realise that studio lights also still exist and they don't need to rely solely on ambient light from their skybox. This shit sucks man.
wtf
- theres no actor on the show that could secure a 100 mil comp so it cant be the actors that cause this kind of budget
- production quality overall is quite low, CGI is so-so, cant be that either
- hollywood accounting?
- they lied?
why are they pushing this ugly black woman on star wars fans so much and giving her more screen time than obi wan and vader combined, when the show is literally called obi wan?
are they fricking with us or were the boomer conservatives actually right when they said disney is full blown woke and there’s no going back
>are they fricking with us or were the boomer conservatives actually right when they said disney is full blown woke and there’s no going back
This must be sarcastic.
In case you haven't noticed, male characters for Disney properties (especially white males) aren't allowed to be major heroes anymore unless there's a bunch of strong women around them constantly.
>Bob Iger:"We're making bank from our princess lines, so my next idea is to pay 4 billion for Star Wars so we sell to boys too. >KK:"I have a better idea, how about we apply my gender studies degree and subvert the masculine to drive the boys away instead?"
I thought the principle was (as stupid as it sounds in regards to fricking lasers) the faster the pulse the stronger the impact? Like episode 1 when Anakin lays down those destroyers while taking off from Naboo.
An anon here explained that Disney is destroying Star Wars in order to drive their streaming competitors broke, to outspend them in a race to the bottom. I can't get my head around that. But it seems like the only thing that could possibly make sense from a business standpoint. They could not have wasted 4 billion dollars to simply push their woke agenda.
You think they're trying to save cash by laundering the rumored $25 million PER FRICKING EPISODE of Kenobi? I thought the idea was outlandish... until I thought about it for awhile.
My answer to Disney Star wars is the same as to Amazons LOTR, I'm just not going to watch it. I won't give any value towards this project and hope for its failure utterly.
The Mandalorian is good, anon. Don't cheat yourself. It was made by a couple of huge gigantic nerds who visibly love the source material, and regard themselves as curators.
I don't watch much of anything anymore that's put out by Disney or streaming services so I don't watch much. I was just curious what you may watch outside of the bubble.
First movie I posted was Korea. Probably the best swordfighting since The Duelists. If you want to skip all Asian films, go Russian. If that doesn't work, turn off the screen and jerk off, get some pleasure out of your funtime.
fricking worst character. I literally cringe every time theres a reva scene. It's painful to see starwars trashed by politic point scoring... when will this shit end?
I want the entirety of Obi wan series to be ep 1-3 but with them saving Leia and Obi Wan still getting burnt. That story could have been padded out in a good way if they wanted to make it 6. Saving Leia, losing her, finding her, losing her, saving her again! ffs these people pat themselves on the back for their ideas more than Lucas did.
She's and awful actor and has no talent if this is the best that Disney has to offer then it doesn't look good for black people guess they can't act. maybe disney show hire less peope with browner skin and then quality might go up and not give them main role it doesn't look good for consumer they don't really like seeing black woman.
Since the speeders can do this Luke did not need to make that incredible threading-the-needle flight to tie the tow cable to the ATAT. He should have just squatted his speeder in front of it and squizzed out the rope on it
These fricking writers think people care about "Muh Lore"
WE ONLY CARE ABOUT THE LORE BECAUSE THE FIGHTS ARE COOL AND THE DESIGN IS INTERESTING, MAKING EVERY SHOW BLAND TATOOINE AND ALL THE VERY FEW FIGHT SCENES SHITTY UNDERMINES WHAT DRAWS PEOPLE IN WITH STAR WARS.
EVERY OLD REPUBLIC CINEMATIC CAPTURES THE FEELING OF STAR WARS EXPONENTIALLY MORE THAN ANYTHING DISNEY HAS SHAT OUT
remember when they spent a majority of their money on these cinematics and marketing and the game flopped because they didn't put enough money into the actual gameplay lol
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
RIP Wade bro
Maul survived due to witch magic bullshit. He gets killed by Kenobi years later and goes out like a b***h. It was honestly pretty neat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shHkJVHFFAk
Everything that I've seen from this series looks aggressively dumb.
BEHOLD
AN ACTION SCENE LITERALLY BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN THE MAKING
Who the frick signed off on the speeders moving like this?
She fricking throws a box at the shop? Why do the speeder blasters not cause more damage? They are shooting 9mm or something?
snow speeders are weak vs night sisters
>She fricking throws a box
she force-throws the box at an acceleration greater than speeder's escape thrust; so much greater that the impact causes the speeder to practically vaporize.
The original prototype for the Death Star was just putting Reva in the firing chamber and giving her a near-unlimited supply of boxes to throw at the planet.
Reminds me of this.
Kek. Me too.
Does this snow speeder technique retcon Empire?
Fan movie tier
No. I’ve seen fan movies with better action and cinematography.
this scene genuinely made me laugh
yo I couldn't make a snow speeder hover to a stop like that in the games.
This. Snow speeders do NOT move like that in Rogue Squadron
>they float now
You dont know the power... of the Black person Side
0:09 literally just kills the immersion, this looks fan made lol
Why was that speeder so slow? It should have been able to fly away really fast before reva could throw that explosive
wtf Black folk can be nazis now?
In nu wars the empire is extremely inclusive
But it was confirmed as a White supremacist organisation????
why does she stop deflecting the blasts for 2 seconds to swing her laser sword in circles? seems like a good way to die.
Yeah but the blasters were pea shooters and the pilot had trouble aiming despite hovering like 3 meters away so there was no reason to be concerned.
>i'll try spinning, that's a good trick
why she did not shot the explosives first?
So the laser hit the floor and do no damage but they blow up other ships? Was Star Wats always this stupid and I just didn't notice?
>hit the ground and do no damage but they blow up other ships
....kind of like a bullet?
Bullets damage the ground you gutter moron
there's burning holes in the ground if you actually watch
Not after the camera cuts you utter cuck
WHY DON'T THEY JUST MAKE THE SHIPS OUT OF FLOOR MATERIAL?
That's the equivalent of a tank firing it's main gun, it's supposed to be able to take out other armored targets. Pretty sure a 155mm shell would leave a mark on the ground.
Bullets aren't made to blow up other ships you moron. The shots literally explode less than 2 minutes prior to this scene. It's just lazy writing and plot armor. Near misses should kill her from the concussive force alone.
>Bullets aren't made to blow up other ships
?
Bullets are generally soft metal projectiles meant to be used in an anti personnel capacity while a shell is something fired out of a cannon to be used in an anti vehicle role. Shells generally have some sort of explosive charge and/or enough kinetic energy to cause fragmentation upon penetration in order to knock out whatever they're being fired at. Anything being fired out of a cannon mounted on a spacecraft would have to be more in line with our shells, otherwise it would be completely useless against anything other than personnel on the ground nice enough to stand still and wait to be shot. We actually see the cannon blasts(bolts?) exploding on the deck so all of this tracks until we encounter le ebin diversity hire, who immediately ruins everything.
Wow haha thank you anon this post is so nostalgic for me. I forgot all about this kind of kid. I used to have these conversations in primary school, where one kid decides they're the kid that is the professor of something - even though they're a dumb little kid who hasn't the first clue about anything in the world. This, combined with talking about star wars, really brought it back.
Good job cherry picking a world war two plane that specifically says it's armed with machine guns you fricking idiot. The only reason machine guns were effective in an air to air role at the time was that planes were basically made of paper mache since our engines weren't powerful enough to support anything else. Go look up the difference between a machine gun and a cannon and come back.
>cherry picking a world war two plane
What is star wars space (air) combat based on again?
>cherry picking the first half of my sentence
The second half was the important part bro. Hey look it's the exact same plane but armed with a 20mm cannon.
did you see the movie star wars? remember the parts where they take hits and their fighter doesn't explode?
Not him, but I remember that they have shields that generally have to be taken out first. Rebel ships, at least. Tie-Fighters don’t.
I’m sure when .303 British hit the scene in the late 19th century they were concerned with effectiveness against airplanes lol
Consider why they have EIGHT mgs. Even with armor piercing ammo you still have what is essentially an infantry weapon fitted into a vehicle.
In the real Star Wars they made explosions and big bursts of sparks. Oftentimes they would leave smoldering holes where they had landed
Back when they actually took the time to set up explosive charges and squibs.
That thing she threw had more acceleration than a stinger missile
Better then anything in TCW and the other kiddy toons but still this is prequel tier shit.
if you're putting this in the same tier as the prequels you have no visual sense for action
ZAMN
the cat dab is more polished than this
Kek
>the cat dab is more polished than this
That's practical effects though
women do not into SciFi
no male director would let that silly looking a scene be released with their name on it
it would be career suicide
BDH directed some of the best Mando episodes
Which ones?
Hahahaha.....this isn't real right? Come on. For real. This is fan made right?
I miss pre-timeskip paneling
Explain this Wano thing to me, please.
That 35 minute episode cost $25 million to make, that scene being the climax.
pain
>Shots flying all around her
>Conveniently none of them hit the stack of explosives
yeah a normal functioning mind, that is how the scene plays out less moronic
>the speeder strafes the deck
>indirect fire causes some of those power cell things to explode
>plot armor
>that buys time for other speeder to escape
>emboldened by this, guy goes in for another pass
>pissed off b***h recovers and uses force to throw thing at on-coming speeder
>POV shot of box coming right at him, as homage to the POV shots in ESB.
anything but the awkward stilted shit they settled on.
yeah like show that theres explosives on the deck, and then she kills him with the explosive using her force powers after she gets dark side angry or something
i made this in blender in 20 mins
DISNEY HIRE THIS MAN
kino
holy shit, I love shape kino
re do the entire series now
Honestly would watch the whole show in this format.
i like the subtle brown coloring
KINO
Thanks for the kino
Wtf how did you make Reva look exactly like the show???
>20 minutes in blender
formerly 5000 hours in Paint.
this is incredibly rough and needs work but you're absolutely right that this is better than what we got
just having speedy ships be speedy, and showing something being explosive before it explodes, and her not throwing it faster than the speedy ship helps
Hi I work at Disney, we'd like to interview you for Director and heir to the Mouse Throne
>as homage to the POV shots in ESB.
that's something a director or cinematographer would suggest. These are tv episodes filmed by a ? "showrunner"? teleplay designer? i dunno. but yeah there's not going to be "shots" like the camera telling a story, in this sort of shit. This is xena
why is Reva moving her arms slower than a 80 year old cardiac arrest victim when blocking the laser bolts? looks like she's fricking crippled
Because shes a bad actor, literal tokenism
wtf
It looks like a fricking test screening holy frick
>Jedi elites killed in prequels because they can't stop blasters shoot at them
Meanwhile token Black can counter fire from two snowspeeders. This is Rey level of woman power wet dream fantasy.
The rules of star wars and the force make no sense at all anymore.
Two words: Kathleen Kennedy
Just keep hating Black folk and they commit suicide they got stupid brain and weak minds.
That explains why Basketball Americans are down 3%.
Aren't the inquisitors supposed to not be Sith? I know you obviously don't have to be a jedi or sith to use the force but how the FRICK can you even defend this shit? They work for/with the Sith, they are extremely proficient to the point of deflecting rapid fire lasers and using the force to move shit. They are strong in the dark side in the same was the Sith are. They're fricking Sith. if they got strong enough they could kill Vader/Palpatine and take their place. They're taught by them too. There is literally no difference between them and the Sith other than choosing not to call them Sith.
The rule of 2 is the dumbest fricking shit of all time.
Inquisitors are more like Dark Jedi, they weren’t raised or trained as sith to start. GI was a jedi temple guard and Reva was most likely a youngling.
>The rule of 2 is the dumbest fricking shit of all time.
No the rule of merchandising allowing force users like inquisitors exist
They're weaker than Vader and Sheev and were likely kept that way on purpose, they aren't shit compared to a Jedi master either and quite frankly even out of practice Obiwan should be able to kill any of them with ease. Darth Maul, an actual Sith, pushes their shit in.
They're really more like sith dogs or something, they just go out and hunt/root out Jedi and that's it. They can kill weaker ones for sure but so can stormtroopers.
holy kek
the two barrells literally were shooting straight anyway. None of them would've hit her if she was standing in the middle.
>DUAL GUNS
>YAS JUST STAND ON THE MIDDLE
Okay, now set the barrels 20 feet apart.
10m convergence zeroing, kek
Haha what the feck?!
Do you think anyone on the planet, Eric Butts included, could watch this and say "wow, she's so badass!"
>Eric Butts
He probably loves it.
...the shot where the speeder is hovering to the left is evocative of a kid holding a toy in front of a camera in desperate attempt at forced perspective.
just a complete breakdown of basic logic and perspective, jesus fricking christ.
the writing of the fights are half-baked and nonsensical, which doesn't get fixed by the director, doesn't get saved by the choreographer, and doesn't even get sold by the nonathletic, awkward actors.
people bash the overly flamboyant choreography of the prequels but at the very least there wasnt gaping holes like in the sequel tril. and the actors practiced thoroughly and made it look natural.
I think Ewan just wanted to collect the huge check Disney threw at him because he sounded like he never wanted to do anything Star Wars related ever again.
Light has no momentum, chud. A strong black trans lesbian Jedi could have deflected the Death Star beam if she wanted to.
blasters aren't lasers
Star Wars Kid vibes
YES REVA WE LOVE YOU REVA
She should have been vaporized in the first two seconds
She wasn’t chud she is as powerful as Vader, I can’t wait for her merch to hit, finally a dark side character equal to baby Yoda
This is so stupid.
I was always under the impression that the lasers shot by vehicles were sort of the equivalent of artillery rounds, and could not be blocked by a lightsaber. Sure a lightsaber can block a handgun, but an AT/AT round? Don't think so. Also, why is the landspeeder just hovering there, in all the games those things require movement to stay afloat. In fact they move quite fast, and that is their main advantage.
Also, the quick cuts and the camera angles really reek of a poorly thought scene. It feels like the person who designed this scene didn't have a good understand of the geometry of things.
sorry George, we didn't know how good we had it
Has a fanbase ever been as wrong as the antilucas crowd?
Sorry he made childrens films
And this was made in the mid 90s
God that looks fantastic
Black person wars
How the frick is it that hard to make lightsaber combat at least somewhat salvageble???
Im not even asking for 6 months training like for prequels, or couple weeks like for sequels
But why the frick these extras movements looked fine enough, while Kenobi combat looks both lazy, simple and laughable to look at?
why the frick do they swing sabers like they are heavy?
Why the frick do they do some pointless double spins while there is nothing to deflect or protect from?
Dont get me wrong - i love PT choreography and spicy spins and twirls. THEY WERE DONE COOL, STYLISH AND FUN TO LOOK AT.
In Kenobi actors swing the sabers like they dont even know what they suppose to do.
Did nobody show actors few minutes of PT footage?
Did nobody show them basic stances and typical moves?
Why the frick do actors swing the sabers like actual bats, throwing their bodies forward like its actual two-hander swords?
it looks dumb, clumsy, annoying to look at.
and frick, it looks WORSE than cobat in fan-films.
there is literally no choreography
just dudes smashing their blades at each other.
FRICK!
Something something feminism something something decolonising star ward.
This. Every lightsaber swing looks so labored and heavy. And most enemies require 2-3 hits that barely seem to do any damage.
Ever since Kylo Ren's crossguard, they went with the idea that swords were heavy like they were actual knights using medieval weapons under layers of armor.
I think they dropped the original idea that Jedi were like unarmored samurai.
>I think they dropped the original idea that Jedi were like unarmored samurai.
Yes. Because people b***hed. People thought every light saber fight should be like Luke vs Vader in ROTJ. What they got was Disney "teaching" actors to fight like the Vader vs Obi Wan fight in ANH and then telling them that it's supposed to be like the Luke vs Vader fight in ROTJ.
Canonically speaking, the shitty swordplay sort of makes sense in the Sequel films, but in any prequel shit it makes absolutely no sense.
Heavy lightsabers have been a thing for decades and decades
The notion existed in the OT visual dictionaries and expanded universe before the prequels
They were supposed to be very unwieldy with difficult inertia which is why it took Jedi to use them with any skill and why they weren't something any chump from across the Galaxy could use - unless they were just picking it up and using it as a tool like Han does to cut open the dead Tauntaun in ESB
People understood that high republic Jedi were more skilled and highly trained than what we were seeing Luke do, but people got fatigued from the overly choreographed swordplay in the prequels, which came to a head in ROTS where the swords looked weightless and without impact
I suspect Disney took this on board and overcorrected, making everyone look like clumsy morons when using them instead of weighty weapons requiring finesse and skilled practice
obi wan vs maul best lightsaber fight in the entire franchise
Was there ever a time before now when a lightsaber user blocked a vehicle mounted cannon? I always thought they tried to get the frick out of the way of anything larger than a blaster rifle.
Even if they did it probably didn't look as stupid as this.
>Was there ever a time before now when a lightsaber user blocked a vehicle mounted cannon?
Not that I can think of.
Speederbike, ROTJ. That's what the writers pulled from here.
The speedbike didn't hover though and the whole scene felt more kenetic and dangerous. Just quick boom boom boom, slice, explosion. No gay ass twirling or anything.
The other shit is just lame doesn't have any tension. You got that lady run like a geriatric on his way to the toilet and then does her best star wars kid impression against that hovering snow speeder.
This kid sued the school and used that money to go to law school. Pretty based.
while the speederbike in RotJ is mentioned, I think the more impressive weapon is actually the turreted gun on Jabba's sail barge. That's probably the strongest weapon I can remember from the OT.
>the turreted gun on Jabba's sail barge. That's probably the strongest weapon I can remember from the OT.
I’m pretty sure that title belongs to the Death Star
you could deflect them as normal in Jedi Knight games, and I don't see why wouldn't you be able to, it's not like they have weight
>it's not like they have weight
They should have just let Luke stay on Yavin during the attack on the death star, if it fired he could have just reflected it back with his lightsaber.
The vehicle guns, unlike the death star laser, look and function identically to normal laser guns in the series, they are just larger, but keep being a disingenuous homosexual if you want
>you could deflect them as normal in Jedi Knight games
which games? i don't recall it in jedi outcast
it's not the weight but i always assumed that there's a limit to how much they can deflect with a lightsaber, the bigger ones are also weightless lasers but they still carry much more energy than blaster rifles or pistols. it's a bit silly if they can deal with any kind of laser just fine, it kills the setting because it would be very OP if not for plot requirements. for example in phantom menace they don't want to deal with those bigger droids, there's a risk vs reward difference to fight against each kind of threat
>which games? i don't recall it in jedi outcast
It was the case both in the Jedi Outcast and in the Jedi Academy games.
>there's a limit to how much they can deflect with a lightsaber
But why would there be? It's not like the lightsaber will break in half. A mirror can reflect any amount of light, the intensity doesn't really matter.
>in phantom menace they don't want to deal with those bigger droids
Which ones, you mean the droideka? They simply didn't want to deal with them because they couldn't get through the shields, they still deflected the shots. I imagine if anything, a high rate of fire is what could frick up a jedi.
>A mirror can reflect any amount of light, the intensity doesn't really matter.
the mirror and everything around it will melt soon enough. and yeah the shields were the main reason they didn't want to deal with those droids in that particular scene but it makes no sense that there's no difference between big laser shots and small laser shots, it's stupid and OP, it breaks the setting
>shooting from literally 5 feet away
>still missing
>target is safe enough to spin a lightsaber behind her back uselessly
if you still watch star wars you deserve this.
>she can throw a battery faster than a speeder leaving orbit
Are sith ship thrusters just decorations?
She's indistinguishable from her silhouette in action scenes? ....Huh. I wouldn't have thought it before, but the problem actually is that she's black.
Oh God it's that bad now?
This is what happens when you cast based on skin color instead of acting skill
She isn't bad, but she isn't great either. I think we're all reacting to the preemptive strikes against white male racist everything from both the studio and the actress, and frankly I share the reaction. Frick these people. the frick were they thinking? All I wanted to see was a well liked actor playing a beloved role and watching him flesh out the character even further, not getting screamed at and shat on. They really fricked up seriously.
>She isn't bad, but she isn't great either.
Her movements are stiff as frick, it feels like she walked in set with no practice or accumulating to the role at all.
>I think we're all reacting to the preemptive strikes against white male racist everything from both the studio and the actress
That probably does stoke the fires 100% but that doesn't change the fact that she is giving a bad performance in this motion. I don't watch Disney+ shit so I can't say how she delivers dialogue but she doesn't move like a trained inquisitor would at all.
>Frick these people. the frick were they thinking? All I wanted to see was a well liked actor playing a beloved role and watching him flesh out the character even further,
You have to understand, people are obsessed with adding "Their own voice" to projects they join, Obi wan isn't theirs and can't be theres, this was never going to be anything more than pandering fanservice wise and setting up future OC's to get their own shows.
They have 0 intention of "honoring the classics" they want money and they know plastering nostalgia bait will sell subscriptions, thats the end of it.
Prequels have their own issues, but George Lucas had a vision for what he wanted and, while making money was 100% important, he still cared about the story beyond its profit margin, Disney does not.
Not only does this look worse than the original trilogy (nothing will ever top them), it also looks worse than phantom menace. I don’t know what the Black person is supposed to be, but it definitely is not very “Star Wars”.
It’s incredible. Disney Star Wars keeps getting so dramatically worse that pretty soon they are going to look like citizen kane in comparison.
Does anyone actually watch this shit?
women ruin everything
at this point you can no longer make the argument that this shit isn't designed for children anymore. Who genuinely looked at this and approves it without knowing full well that the intended audience is kids. Its impossible.
But children’s content can be good
Don’t let Disneed off the hook
Because its also brutally violent. Chopping off poor commoners hand isnt for kids.
But nu-wars intended audience ISNT kids, that’s the problem!
This is impressively terrible on every level. I don't even care about this black b***h being in the show anymore, it was obviously DOA regardless because there's no talent left at Lucasfilm.
Why didn't he just shoot at one of those boxes if they create such a big explosion on impact?
There are so many layers of stupid in this sequence and what led up to it. Probably the stupidest thing I've ever seen in Star Wars. That's including the comedic scenes with droids or Jar Jar. I didn't watch Booba Fett maybe that has something worse.
she would have died if she didnt reverse backhand deflect that laser that didnt hit her
Next we're seeing a jedi deflecting a death star beam
>black people are evil
Wow. I hope Disney is dragged through the mud for this.
JAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJ
The only real problem I have is how she switches from startled to confidently blasting the lasers away. Pick one damn it.
Reminder that you don't need any talent to be hired by Disney as long as you're Black person.
Why didn’t the SPEEDER VEHICLE RAM RIGHT TO HER AND CUT HER IN HALF!? WHY DID IT STOP IN MID AIR AND THEN FLY AWAY??
SLAY KWEEN
Looks like something you'd see in Picard.
Good. I'm glad it's shit. Anyone who falls for nostalgiabait deserves every disappointment coming their way.
based
damn, we could have gotten kyle katarn kino with desann and tavion. FRICK DISNEY
I haven't watched it so I don't understand what's happening in this shot... why is that flying vehicle hovering over her a couple of meters away, wouldn't it make sense to blast the jedi from afar since they can't seem to be able to hit her at point blank anyway for some reason?
>runs like an unathletic 13 year old girl
>boots clopping like they weigh 15lbs each
>grimace of anger or pain; can't really tell
>immeddiately stops on her mark
>heels planted firmly on the ground to minimize the ability to move swiftly if need be
>arms moving about as slowly as the fat kid on his first day of football practice
bravo
They had the opportunity to introduce a cool new character but nooooo, they do this instead. Disney's incompetence is embarrassing at this point.
If they didn't want a white woman for whatever reason, why haven't anyone at Lucasfilm thought of pic related yet? She can be outlandish and attractive at the same time, and physical roles are not a problem to her, would be a perfect SW villain. Even Zack Snyder signed her for his new project so it doesn't matter if people thinks he's a hack, Lucasfilm morons are 10 times worse
checked, based Sneeder literally making his own Star Wars
I can’t fricking wait.
No thanks homosexual.
t. Black person lover
I cannot comprehend what is wrong with these people
whats going on here?
America
how come they are called snow "speeders"?
arent speeders strictly ground vehicles?
I think that in star wars vehicle classification anything that doesn't touch the ground and can't leave the atmosphere under its own power is classified as a speeder. It probably includes stuff like pod racers, which are able to get pretty far off the ground in a way more in line with an aircraft than with a car doing a sick jump.
hmm yeah, i suppose that makes sense kinda
Did they have her throw a fricking frisbee on set?
This is supposed to look cool? This is suposed to get roomfuls of blacks to throw their fists in the air while shouting "MALCOLM?"
God have mercy, that’s fricking abysmal.
I will never be able to understand. I show this scene to my cousins who are huge SW fanboys, and they like it? What the frick is wrong with them? Are they capable of seeing things I am not? Is this actually a great scene?
they are just brain dead and got used to disneyshit
put me in the screencap
I've never seen a post with this many replies before lol. Honestly let Disney keep running this shit into the ground, it's like ironic comedy that thinks it's actually being serious. Very surreal
>I've never seen a post with this many replies before lol.
newbie
>I've never seen a post with this many replies before lol.
THEY HOVER NOW?
>Awkward running for someone in their battle rattle
>Clumsy arm swinging that should be simple arm movement for someone weilding a melee weapon
>Other ship just sits there doing nothing in classic "one at a time" fighting style
>Able to block and deflect the equivalent of laser tank shells
>Doesn't even deflect them back to try and look cool
>Casually throws her arm like she's tossing a bottle in the trash
Hahahahahahaha
Even the CW has produced better choreography/vfx than this lmao.
>CW
And you don't have to pay $8 a month to watch that schlock
How is this SO FRICKING BAD?
What the hell
wat
man incels are seething at this huh
Why isn’t there a special effects guy working on the set to tell the writer or director that they don’t have the budget to film this and make it look good
Kubrick was told how film certain scenes in 2001 because the special effects guy said it would make it look more realistic
yikes sorry sweatie but in this case that would be mansplaining so nope
KWAB
?
WADE
the look on Clone Rose's face made me laugh like a maniac, as if anyone cares about whoever that was. and something about the timing is comedic
>as if anyone cares about whoever that was
they kill off this random character to show the stakes and consequences of conflict, but they never introduced the character so it's a completely empty moment. it reeks of writers' room motivations and doesn't connect with the actual story on screen
this is fan dubbed right?
Not Wade!
I came to like him after the 10 seconds we spent with him.
If you need me I'll be whisper shouting top secret spy shit into an obvious microphone while sitting meters away from functional adults before I kill a supervisor by choking him out slowly and return like nothing happened moments after he chewed me out as an outsider then slap a Storm Trooper and steal his gun while you're hiding a small child in a cloak as we walk out of a busy star base.
Whos Wade?
Wades dead
bro,
Wades dead.
killed by this
What even is it?
a safe containing the OT despecialized edition
why didn't they just have her saber throw?
would have looked much better
Why did they have a 2 minute long sad scene over Wade's death, when we weren't even introduced to him?
They had to pad out the rest of the episode and give fans something to feel sad about because they played sad music and showed some literal who crying about it.
There's suspending your disbelief and there's ignoring the reality that this show is fricking stupid.
You’re shitting me, right?
TWEN-TWEN-TWENTY SIXTEEN
NO JEAN NO MONEY
*sad music plays*
>WADE!
How can they not get that there are certain names that just don’t lend themselves to Star Wars? Go Biblical or go alien. Imagine this scene with someone yelling “FRANK!”
Wade bros… not like this
Kek
Wade sounds like a bored zoomer
Why are you chuds seething? Don't you remember how shitty fights were back in A New Hope? We had over the top star wars shit and you frickers complaint due being "over the top and not realistic". Congratulations, you got what you wanted.
>comparing the kino of 2003 Clone Wars with disney shit
The fact that an animated 2003 cartoon is better looking and more believable than a 2022 show is a problem
Nobody complained about the original Clone Wars and if they did they were rightfully called homosexuals.
I fricking love this show. Very decent story.
>they let us get away
Nonsense. Clone Wars Cartoon was very good and entertaining. And I was unsure about it at first because I didn't like the Samurai Jack style animation.
I love how the Mandalorian was just as shit as this but Cinemaphile loved it. Proves Cinemaphile just plugs into the zeitgeist and takes whatever normalgay opinion is floating around at the time
Mando did not look this shitty
Shut the frick up Siddig El Tahir El Fadil El Siddig Abdurrahman Mohammed Ahmed Abdel Karim El Mahdi.
Mando season 2 was almost as bad as Obi-Wan. It started off decent though, especially compared to the non-existent bar set by the sequel films.
Mando actually tried telling original, small stories and didn't have the need to stick its dick in canon as much as possible (except in the last episode).
Mando’s worst episode are still pure kino compared to this dumpster fire.
>Make a show about Kenobi
>Show is entirely about some side mission and giving a new character no one likes a redemption arch.
>Series is almost over and we haven’t learned a single new thing about Obi-Wan other than him being a sad shell of who he was
You Nu-Wars fans have no clue…
why does the horizon curve upwards?
Because no refunds goy!
They're on a ringworld like in Halo.
Bowl earth theorists
needs to be cleaned up and it could be a 10/10
I found it more amusing if I left it shitty, but here's a slightly less low effort attempt
I found it really distracting that they couldn't even keep the camera steady in this scene. And I mean even with hand-waving all the stupid shit that's happened in the story so far.
if vader would have just force choked her out and she died in this scene it may have redeemed the entire episode. have electro jackie chan tell vader that she put a tracking device on them or whatever. write that b***h out
He really should have killed her. Didn't he fail to kill another black lady in some video game? Maybe he's got jungle fever like George
Low budget.
Everyone’s talking about this but apparently not the easily breakable glass in an underwater base
It’s all moronic, and it’s all so tiresome
This looks so bad I honestly can’t comprehend how they released it
What was the budget for this show?
>What was the budget for this show?
25mil per episode or more.
https://startefacts.com/news/just-how-big-is-obi-wan-kenobi-budget-per-episode
yes but how much of that went into the making of the episode, and how much went into the producers' casting couch
It all went to either diversity or money laundering.
Its the stupid video dome thing they use. It could work but instead of going crazy on the 3d environments it looks like something a sweatshop shit out in an afternoon
This location hit me particularly goofy because they accidetally (?) made the SGI-workstation aesthetic from the mid-to-early- 90s. The generic marble texture on flat low poly geometry. It's like one of the textures that comes with the workstation
The Unreal screen things are pretty much some of the coolest shit I've seen in years, and I was so pumped to see it replace full blue screen sets. But frick me, Disney has made it all look so flat and bland, like they don't realise that studio lights also still exist and they don't need to rely solely on ambient light from their skybox. This shit sucks man.
wtf
- theres no actor on the show that could secure a 100 mil comp so it cant be the actors that cause this kind of budget
- production quality overall is quite low, CGI is so-so, cant be that either
- hollywood accounting?
- they lied?
Ewan MacGregor is an executive producer on this show. Make of that what you will.
>- they lied?
this is always the right answer
Surprised no one is talking about how Obi Wan was hiding Leia under his robe and no one noticed. That felt like a parody.
why are they pushing this ugly black woman on star wars fans so much and giving her more screen time than obi wan and vader combined, when the show is literally called obi wan?
are they fricking with us or were the boomer conservatives actually right when they said disney is full blown woke and there’s no going back
>are they fricking with us or were the boomer conservatives actually right when they said disney is full blown woke and there’s no going back
This must be sarcastic.
Her own series was announced. Now you know why. Black Power!
>Her own series was announced
Should be a full fledged cinema release for this character piece
In case you haven't noticed, male characters for Disney properties (especially white males) aren't allowed to be major heroes anymore unless there's a bunch of strong women around them constantly.
>Bob Iger:"We're making bank from our princess lines, so my next idea is to pay 4 billion for Star Wars so we sell to boys too.
>KK:"I have a better idea, how about we apply my gender studies degree and subvert the masculine to drive the boys away instead?"
This show is so bad that it has to be intentional.
Funny thing is the base was full empire ships patrolling the area, but they all went afk during that scene lol
Unfortunately timed smoke break
>And not one TIE fighter was scrambled to intercept. I tell you it was an inside job.
the israelites fear colors
This is the power of feminism, diversity and equality captured in one shot.
I thought the principle was (as stupid as it sounds in regards to fricking lasers) the faster the pulse the stronger the impact? Like episode 1 when Anakin lays down those destroyers while taking off from Naboo.
An anon here explained that Disney is destroying Star Wars in order to drive their streaming competitors broke, to outspend them in a race to the bottom. I can't get my head around that. But it seems like the only thing that could possibly make sense from a business standpoint. They could not have wasted 4 billion dollars to simply push their woke agenda.
They're so deep in the hole from Star Wars that they can't turn a profit from fricking it up so yes.
You think they're trying to save cash by laundering the rumored $25 million PER FRICKING EPISODE of Kenobi? I thought the idea was outlandish... until I thought about it for awhile.
Interesting. I wonder how close they are to getting bought out by China.
>Not since WW2
Hmmm I wonder why
But surely they’d gain all that and more if they just made SW good
yeah but that's haaaaard
>we're bankrupt, making us the victor!
My answer to Disney Star wars is the same as to Amazons LOTR, I'm just not going to watch it. I won't give any value towards this project and hope for its failure utterly.
The Mandalorian is good, anon. Don't cheat yourself. It was made by a couple of huge gigantic nerds who visibly love the source material, and regard themselves as curators.
No it bloody isn't. The episode 1 fight was over-the-shoulder-camera halo nonsense. Watch the superior fightkino, not that woke trash spinoff bait.
We all have options. Not letting Disney shovel it's filth into your eyes is one of them.
frick you only S1 is good and they already ruined it by S2, Star Wars is DONE
If you don't like corporate schlock then what do you like to watch?
There are so many good fricking options anon.
I don't get it. Why accept shit- and we all KNOW it's shit at this point. Why accept shit when we can all enjoy films again.
I don't watch much of anything anymore that's put out by Disney or streaming services so I don't watch much. I was just curious what you may watch outside of the bubble.
>Well Go USA
I dont watch Chinese either
First movie I posted was Korea. Probably the best swordfighting since The Duelists. If you want to skip all Asian films, go Russian. If that doesn't work, turn off the screen and jerk off, get some pleasure out of your funtime.
the thing is that even amongst corporate schlock, Disney Star Wars and Marvel tv shows are the lowest of the low.
fricking worst character. I literally cringe every time theres a reva scene. It's painful to see starwars trashed by politic point scoring... when will this shit end?
I get it now, the lasers in Star Wars dont actually have the power to do anything and may as well be a light show.
I want the entirety of Obi wan series to be ep 1-3 but with them saving Leia and Obi Wan still getting burnt. That story could have been padded out in a good way if they wanted to make it 6. Saving Leia, losing her, finding her, losing her, saving her again! ffs these people pat themselves on the back for their ideas more than Lucas did.
how they not crash lol
why are the ships so slow?
good point, they cant turn that quick
this all come down to them pushing out as much crap as quick as they can. too much Star Wars
Same reason the fixed guns are 2m apart, yet the impacts on the ground less than 1m.
Wait is this the same scene? The lasers explode and then they don't?
Yes. He set his cannons to b***h made to engage the inquisitor because ?????
They move like the fricking robots from Batteries Not Included
Why are they so small?
This is just fricking terrible.
MORE SPARKS
Did we ever even see the guy who died properly? Everyone I could remember from the start of the episode was still there at the end
They are just shitting these out like aborted foetus
Everybody is asking how they are going to conclude the series properly with just 3 episodes to go and not realizing this is just season 1.
Why is the speeder comically small
She's and awful actor and has no talent if this is the best that Disney has to offer then it doesn't look good for black people guess they can't act. maybe disney show hire less peope with browner skin and then quality might go up and not give them main role it doesn't look good for consumer they don't really like seeing black woman.
>deflecting ship size blaster shot
When does that ever happen original prequel or eu??
>dumb homosexual morons itt think blasters are lasers
kek what a bunch of silly billies
a blaster should create more damage and debris than a laser
I member a time, where fans could make kino unmolested...https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G7-n36MBs1A
Now imagine if they used body paint to make her a Chiss
Since the speeders can do this Luke did not need to make that incredible threading-the-needle flight to tie the tow cable to the ATAT. He should have just squatted his speeder in front of it and squizzed out the rope on it
I can get over bad effects, I can't get over a show with 6 episodes having filler episodes
>shitfire
bong seethe
stay in your fricking containment thread
Honest question. How they casted this actress? Looks like it was 100% nepotism because she CANT ACT FOR SHIT. Same as the Leia kid
TCW and Rebels is responsible for this shit. You welcome gays. Should have shitted on them fully.
now this is star WARS
never watched rebels and can barley remember TCW, did also have this much bad CGI and physics?
These fricking writers think people care about "Muh Lore"
WE ONLY CARE ABOUT THE LORE BECAUSE THE FIGHTS ARE COOL AND THE DESIGN IS INTERESTING, MAKING EVERY SHOW BLAND TATOOINE AND ALL THE VERY FEW FIGHT SCENES SHITTY UNDERMINES WHAT DRAWS PEOPLE IN WITH STAR WARS.
EVERY OLD REPUBLIC CINEMATIC CAPTURES THE FEELING OF STAR WARS EXPONENTIALLY MORE THAN ANYTHING DISNEY HAS SHAT OUT
Yep Star Wars is about the aesthetic and feel burndisney thinks it’s about seeing the ot characters
remember when they spent a majority of their money on these cinematics and marketing and the game flopped because they didn't put enough money into the actual gameplay lol
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
RIP Wade bro
Why is there a little chink boy with aspergers flying a military craft? Is this a callback to The Phantom Menace?
>Darth Maul fighting clone troopers
>he died before clone troopers even existed
Is this a fan-made thing?
>>he died before clone troopers even existed
>he doesn't know
Did they retcon clone troopers to exist before TPM or did they clone Maul or what?
Maul lives in the EU
The EU was a mistake.
It’s moronic that he lives but he’s kind of a cool character overlooking that
He survived being cut in half, anon. You've been FILONI'D.
Maul survived due to witch magic bullshit. He gets killed by Kenobi years later and goes out like a b***h.
It was honestly pretty neat.

this is the only good star wars scene I've seen in 20 years
You're living under a rock
>he doesn't know
Clone Troopers and Storm Troopers truly are a fricking joke that no one is laughing at anymore.
Prequel tier in 2022.
