DA Baracus Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I'm keen to find out how Obi Wan ages so horribly in circa 17 years. I know that two suns can be harsh on the skin, but it won't be like he's firing around the desert uncovered or sunbathing on the Dune Sea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just stand there and let Palpatine jump/spin towards them and then swing at them without even putting up their lightsabers! Daft wee shitebags. I bet the younglings put up more fight when Vader went to batter them. I get that it was probably an attempt to show how good Mace was, and therefore how much more powerful Palpatine is, but even Finn put up a better show with a lightsaber in Ep 7 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperDee Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Just watched both; definitely on board. Possibly not enough Obi-Wan but that’s my only gripe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Cannot fucking wait to watch this later.Already seen a couple of thumbnails on YT of what’s to come, I wouldn’t call them spoilers as they are expected but it’s got me excited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albus Bulbasaur Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I don't really watch the sidey lore stuff, comics, cartoon series etc. I'm guessing I can watch this and enjoy it having only seen the main films? Never seen Mandalorian or spin off movies either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're on the subject of lightsaber battles, a shout out for the remastered Vader v Kenobi dual. Never gets old. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That video is crazy, seen it before and was blown away. Is there a similarly well made one with Darth Vadar? Unsure when in the universe it was meant to be from but can recall being similarly impressed by it. Just saw this and it made me laugh. Edit - found it -it's well made but not as good as SC38 Edited May 27, 2022 by Albus Bulbasaur 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainkev Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Just watched the Obi-Wan premiere episodes. Was the most excited I've been for anything Star Wars related for a while now and these first two episodes are very encouraging. Looking forward to the rest of the series. I've got some thoughts on the two episodes but I'll put them in spoilers. Was Leia appearing in the show common knowledge? It really caught me off guard, although I might just have not being paying enough attention to the build up news. If it was a secret then they've played a blinder, misleading us by showing young Luke and Uncle Owen in trailers etc given that they've actually had very little screen time so far. Is it really plausible that Obi-Wan didn't know that Anakin is still alive? I know Tatooine's on the outer rim, and Obi-Wan's keeping his head down - wanting to hear as little about the Empire as he needs to. However, after 10 years surely some word about Darth Vader being out hunting the Jedi would have gotten around? He's informed enough to tell Leia that the Inquistors are fallen Jedi after all. Loved Kumail Nanjiani as a con-artist Jedi impersonator. Expect we'll see him again before the series is finished. The cameo from Temuera Morrison as an impoverished clone trooper veteran was a nice touch. Ewan McGregor plays the interaction with him really well; getting across pain, bitterness and then pity - all without any dialogue. It really doesn't add anything to the plot, but it's a strong little character moment. I know he's denied it in interviews, but Liam Neeson is 100% appearing at some point as a force ghost. They've made a point of showing Obi-Wan calling out for his help in both episodes. My bet is he'll eventually show up when Obi-Wan needs some morale to stop running and go face Vader. Speaking of which, not remotely surprised at the 2nd episode's ending. When they announced the series was launching with the first two episodes it was a safe bet that the latter episode would end on the first appearance of Vader. Just a little teaser to keep building hype for the show, and I am so on-board for it. That final shot of him in the bacta tank is genuinely menacing. It seems like they are not going to be shying away from showing just how unpleasant life in that armour is for what's left of the man Vader used to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Said to the kids "That's Flea!" Scott even googled it. Yes, it was Flea. Kids had no clue who Flea was but impressed anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
