Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi [Disney+]

Legit question. Can anyone in this thread really give me a real explanation of what made her interesting?

Let's get some Darth Jar Jar...

She had her own intentions and navigated around the inquisitors and Darth Vader to a point in an attempt to execute a plan in order to make them reality. Then had to realize that if she killed the kids, she would become what she hated and has been trying to overtake.

Flip side, can you give a real explanation of why she stinks? Dont say lazy writing and acting direction. All of Star Wars villains and heros have their stereotypes. She fit it at first, and then morphed into what she became at the end.

I think this show turned out great considering its limited arc. Hard to generate excitement when everyone knows how its going to play out for some characters.

I think Reva was absolute dogshit the first 1-2 episodes. Got better as the show went on.

We enjoyed it a lot.

Sure the person playing Third Sister was a bit flat but it did not highly detract from the whole thing for me.

Obi Wan is a true jedi, uses only violence when necessary and even then he does not want to kill people.

So she starts out as a villain that has no problem murdering people, murdering Jedi, doesnt matter who...and has some weird obsession with Kenobi. Ok, sure thats fine. Then it turns out that her grand plan is to actually kill Vader b/c she somehow knows hes Anakin....and she can accomplish this by..........killing Kenobi? Then, after allllllllll this time wanting to kill Kenobi, they talk between a wall and he convinces her that hey, we should work together to kill Vader and I'll even let you do it. Then she attacks Vader literally just by walking up behind him...then gets stabbed and is basically fine. Not to mention Vader knew the entire time what she was up to. And THEN she finds out that there is this random kid that is just some random kid (does she somehow know its Vaders kid? Fuck it, who cares - hes important to Kenobi, fuck Vader)....so she goes there to kill him, cause why not. Can barely take down two farmers and instead of killing them, b/c that would be easy, chases after the kid. But then, after shes murdered for who knows how long, she decides I shouldnt kill THIS kid because I suddenly have morals. So then she brings him back and is like yo, I've made a mistake. I dont want to be evil anymore, I'm gonna leave my weird Maul knockoff saber here and bounce.

What a brilliant arc!

We can literally oversimplify everything.

Billionaire orphan cant save everyone cause he is too dumb to use his money for real shit like satellites and pay attention to his loved ones/important people and lets rando maniac kidnap one of each. So he hides after all of his failures. Gets beat up and thrown in a hole, punched in the back and its magically fixed somehow, does some situps, and can save the world, but only after he pulls off a super secret software patch and tells NO ONE about it because he wants to give his figurative father closure by seeing him at a French cafe.

Guy loses his dog so he goes all PEW PEW PEW with his plot armor draped over him.

We can keep going.

This site will defend shit writing to the death ?

 

[Mook]

Either way, show was had a satisfying ending overall. But it doesn't need a second season.

 

[Fish]

Ive defended shit before.

This site will defend shit writing to the death ?

Ive defended shit before, but then come around and realize it. AKA last 2 seasons of GoT. This is not S8 of GoT. Now her beating Obi Wan to Tatooine was a little weird, but Im sure there was an explanation if they had time to fill it. Like her going hyperspace while everyone on the tug boat is reenacting The Last Jedi.

Either way, show was had a satisfying ending overall. But it doesn't need a second season.

I agree. I think I like mini series a little better since there is a planned end VS a show that just keeps going and has no idea how to end. Once again, Covid smacked this series hard IMO cause I think if these were 1 hour episodes each, more could have been shown to make more sense or flush out more story for the characters.

 

[Mook]

It was supposed to be a movie and they made it a show. I would have preferred a movie.

 

[Fish]

Unless it had a runtime like Zack Sniders Justice League, there would have been even more BS since it would have less run time than it already did.

 

[Pro Stock John]

I agree King Mook, the Third Sister story arc is a little weak.

One thing that troubles me about her story line is

Spoiler: so

she's an inquisitor and has been hunting Jedi? How many people has she imprisoned or killed to support her weakly fleshed out vendetta. I don't think it holds up.

The last episode hit all the feels. Sure, the way some situations were "resolved" were a bit weak, but overall I found this show very enjoyable.

 

[VenomInside]

Spoiler

I have watched this scene probably 100x and it hits the feels EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Fuck that was good.

 

[Mook]

So that spoiler tag breaks vids. Need to use the other. Fixing.

That scene has so much going on, it was really good. At times this series was better than some of the movies.

 

[VenomInside]

I personally think this series was better than the sequel trilogy. Not everything because there were a few cool things about the sequels but overall it was pretty dope.

 

[Fish]

The voice effects were fucking amazing. That entire fight was fire, but those voice effects.

 

[Huggerorange73]

Spot on take.

 

[Fish]

Watched the last fight again. We need more Ewan in Star Wars.
