You've let us down man
More like a white robe and a cross.
Wow, what a rant. And not about racism, but about the calling out of it too.
Just finished watching this yesterday, what a heap of dung. And what is it with Disney and their god awful chase scenes, how are they this bad???
It was mediocre I guess, liked the final duel however , it was melodrama but liked it nonetheless.
They probably should have turned this into a movie, would have worked better i think it it had a focused objective and better thought put into it.

There is a movie cut of this show now available.

Obi two
Perfect. I'd watch it.
Should’ve got Vince Gilligan to do this. Better Call Saul, what a prequel show.
Could’ve got some great indulgent scenes of Obi Wan styling his hair and beard and brushing his shoes.

Just binged this. Loved it. Obviously some parts aren't very good but overall I liked it.
That mask breaking scene was epic. The light from the lightsabers glowing and fading on Obi Wan and Anakin's faces as they talk about good/evil was very well done.
Anakin goes from looking like a lost misguided and helpless boy looking at his Master for help to a full evil dark lord of the Sith with the red light on his face. At the same time, when Anakin fully declares that he is no more Anakin, the blue light from Obi Wan lightsaber stops glowing Obi Wan's face, implying that he has lost that 1% hope he had of ever getting Anakin back.
Plus Vader marching like a maniac instead of the calm walk he did in other movies. Damn, that was epic. You could feel the fear he was generating on others.

Everytime Vader was on screen it was great.
Doesn’t really deserve the credit it’s getting for that scene considering they just ripped it off from Rebels.
Defo noticed the bad parts are more tolerable when binged. Although the very bad on this show are super bad
As someone who didnt like the prequels and was too old when they were released to have any sentimental feelings towards Ewans Obi Wan, I thought this show was horrific. Quality across the board was bad, writing, action, characters. I'm sure if you have sentimental feelings towards Ewans Obi Wan you might forgive how piss poor it was, but feck me it was bad. There was at least one cringe moment per episode.
I actually preferred Book of Boba Fett over it and bloody hell was that bad at the end.

Yeah, if you cut put the cool Vader stuff this show is the worst Star Wars has been for me. Though Boba Fett isnt far off with the moronic Vespa gang shit.
It was inconsistent. Veered from the laughably bad to brilliant every 5 minutes. Boba Fett was just consistently mediocre.
I kind of liked the prequels and there were enough great moments for me to forgive or overlook the weak or rubbish parts. Laughing at the rubbish parts was kind of enjoyable to be honest in an old Doctor Who with sets made of toilet roll kind of way.
My expectations were low as well i guess.
I didn't think any of it was brilliant at all. Even the Vader content which should have been easy to do came across weak due to the piss poor writing and badly shot fights. The only slightly redeeming feature of the show was the Leia actress wasn't annoying. But the writing for her scenes were horrific on the whole, she and Ewan had some decent dialogue but that was pretty much it.
Obi Wan being able to get away from Vader because there was a pool of fire in the way... Leia escaping the hired assassins by... running along some hiking trails, or her escaping by hiding underneath a coat... I can't recall the rest because I wiped my brain of the show, but those will live with me for a while given how stupid they were.
I really did hope it would be better than it ultimately ended up being.
This is absolute trash. My 15 year old son who loves star wars he hates this show. This makes the new trilogy look like the godfather series.
Agreed.
Well, mostly.
I do have plenty of sentimental attachment to several of the characters (not the actors, e.g. Ewan), and I'll admit that I found some of the scenes with Obi Wan/Vader and Obi Wan/Leia quite enjoyable (not least after a drink or two).
But even that was nothing like the Luke scene from Mandalorian (that was genuinely pretty cool...again, though, not least after a drink or two).
I dunno, I find most of the new things I watch these days to be pretty meh on the whole - and absolutely loaded with downright shit moments, whether it be acting or writing wise.
