Enjoyed the new episode. Vader was pretty cool. Show isn't great or good, but it's also not doing any damage to the canon. Last night definitely felt like a Vader appearance from one of the cartoons

Similar to the last time out, while I quite liked Ch 5 story-wise it still managed to have a few beats of comedy bad action.
I am interested to see what Reva finding the holopuck leads to.

I'm a broken record in this thread so I'll save you the in depth critique of part 5. Every negative I've already called out is applicable here as well. The show is simply bad.

There's barely one story to tell. And if season 2 moves forward, it needs to be without Deborah Chow.

I am high and decided to rewatch Attack if the Clones for the first time in probably a decade for a good laugh. Man what a wonderful train wreck that movie is
Really the only positives are Natalie Portman’s cuteness and John Williams’ score

Obi finale was terrific, I'll watch that last episode when going through rewatches of the movies. I think this series would have been killer as a movie. Probably would have cleaned up at box office too.

Just started Obi Wan. Got through the first 2 episodes. It's ok so far. Just funny how a 10 year old that runs slower than me gets away from everyone, and the 3rd sister lady doesn't seem to be the best of actors, but it's been decent.
I was thinking, for 20 years, is this the first time the clone troopers were actual people in any star wars show?

So funny, I had this same thought as the credits rolled. Would've been much better served with this exact story tightened up to no more than 2.5 hours.

The finale is better than the preceding episodes, sure, but the series as a whole still detracts from ANH rather than enhancing it like Rogue One. It also suffers from the same baffling character/story choices as the other chapters.
Did it also seem incredibly dark to anyone else? Visually dark, not tonally dark. Like I legit had trouble seeing some of the action. What was the point of this series? It didn't add anything that we didn't already know from the existing films.

This series has been epic......ally frustrating. More or less very meh with a couple lol howler moments, and then there have been a small handful of moments that where amazing.

Agree with tif here. This series reminded me a lot of the animated shows right down to the action. All in all, it took until the last episode to actually feel big and I think that's on the cinematography. That last saber battle was incredible. I got choked up a couple times during the finale as well. Could be wrong here, but during the Luke scenes in the finale, I kept thinking that Luke said something along the lines in ep4 about nothing exciting happens here and then last night.

Yeah, involving Luke at all was dumb (I mean, Leia for that matter too).
Also I'm sure this was already brought up, but in Ep 5, when Obi says Luke is their only hope, and then Yoda says no there is another, and it cuts right to Leia, the implication isn't that Obi knew about her but she wasn't force sensitive, it's that he didn't know about her at all. At least, that's the way it's shot.
Granted, the end of ep 3 would kind of ruin that anyway.
And I always interpreted the message at the beginning of Ep 4 was that Leia had heard of Obi through rebel legends, but never actually met him.

Just got done watching and I enjoyed it.
@nocera it sounds like you have never seen Rebels. I highly recommend. First season is tough to get through but it pays off. And you meet the second biggest bad guy in all of Star Wars when done.

I can't do the cartoons. I've tried and failed many times. They're just not for me.

That's a shame dude. I get it - different strokes n'at - but the best of the animated shows is as good as anything in the whole of Star Wars imo. Sadly, there are also hyperspace whales.
Honestly......... as I think about it, my top most favoritest characters pretty much all come from the animated stuff. Ahsoka Tano, Sabine Wren, Bo-Katan Kryze, Kanan Jarrus, Dume, Bendu, Thrawn (this is a cheat, he was created in the Timothy Zahn books in the 90s but has so far only appeared in multimedia in Rebels).

Someone could make an argument that Thrawn (as depicted in Rebels) is a better villain than Vadar and I'd listen.

That's a tall order there, Bev. I think Thrawn is pretty fantastic, but Vader is like a god-tier villain.

Yeah I get it. Like I said, I've tried. I just can't get past the overly childish feeling of most of the episodes. I even tried the lists that breakdown just the necessary episodes and I couldn't get into that either. If I was a kid, I would've loved these shows the same way I loved Real Ghostbusters. Hell, even though I really enjoyed Mandalorian, I prefer Star Wars to stick to feature films. The other stuff, including series (animated & live action), comics, books, video games, etc., they all feel a bit superfluous.

Saw Boba Fett and Fennic Shand at Galaxy's Edge over the weekend. BF attracted quite the following of kids (and adults), but my one friend and I were the only ones who recognized (or maybe the only ones who cared) about FS. They use Temura Morrison's voice for BF in the same way that it's Adam Driver for Kylo Ren, but the Cast Member who was playing FS was doing a tremendous Ming-Na Wen impression.
