    Boba was a disaster until the Mando came in and saved it.

    The Mando should be in all of these in some capacity if it is in the same timeline....

    Can we get an ObiWan who hasn’t lost his mojo ?
    He’s beginning to look like milk drinking Luke

    Obi use to wax like battalions of storm troopers

    He’s been in hiding for 10 years since ROTS. He hasn’t used the force (until saving Leia from her fall). Dug up his lightsaber from the middle of the desert. Obi wan is broken. What do you expect?

    Some of the cgi is pretty poor for this quality of series. The set location for the "duel" was kinda whack-small scale. Ive always expected epic between them. It didn't lend itself well to Vader just magically appearing. I chuckled to myself imagining all those batman spoofs where as soon as someone turns around, batman starts running away but everyone can still see him.
    I want a rainforest duel with light drizzle and a storm brewing in the distance. Good lighting for the colors. Rain splashes on the ignited saber. Trees used as cover and terror like camera work. Trees used as props to be slashed through and force thrown etc. High cliffs that would be certain death even for a jedi.

    The series is showing its budget limitations which is something you don't expect from anything Star Wars related.

    Yall are TOUGH on this show. I watch the other Star Wars movies and I'm like... maybe TWO of these 9 are great, max (and 2 others are goodish). The rest have serious sores. This is what Star Wars is. A+ backstory & universe, MID delivery.

    Again, the editing and direction is so bewildering. The transition from the town to the gravel pit and the cat and mouse that followed was just so strangely framed and edited. There was one cut where Obi-Wan moved off screen in one direction and then came back on screen from the other side, and it's just jarring to watch.

    I finally made it through the entire first episode and it's just terrible like a bad episode of Star Trek -- I'm not going to waste my time with with anymore of the series.

    It's hard to believe they made something so bad and immediately hid behind the diversity shield blaming the fan base.

    Kind of funny that B-list comic book writers can nail the right characterizations and stories in the Star Wars comics but these hollywood types are either incompetent or purposely disrespectful to the material when making it live action. It doesn't take a genius to know that if you replace the screenwriter of Drive with the screenwriter of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, that you'd get this piece of ****. So what does that make Kathleen Kennedy? Evil genius, or true r****d?

    Too much Leia and not liking the Reva character or maybe just the actress. Ewan is great. So he’s trying to hide being a Jedi by dressing exactly like Jedi cosplay? Brilliant.

    Overall I’m enjoying it.

    Read earlier tonight that they're putting out a Yoda series in October of this year 2023

    Glad they're taking their time with this one.

    Seems it will be a cartoon aimed at kids, from what I've read.
    Yoda sending out young Jedis and Padawans on adventures.

    I enjoyed episode 3. Good job of making Vader look evil beyond belief.
