Star Wars Appreciation **Spoilers Ahead**

Visually some great cool bits last night, water tunnel scene especially, but also some awful (IMO) bits. They should have consulted the studio behind the cinematics from The Old Republic for dynamic fight scenes . The two speeders flying direct towards the tunnel, what happened to them? Then the 3rd Sister Vs airspeeder was so static. Can't wait for corridor crew to do an episode one them.
Loud whispering in a room with other people, loudly struggling with and killing someone in the same room, every one ignoring the trench coat clad hunchback. It's almost like all the staff are just CGI, and it's easier to render them just milling about.

Enjoying this but it is nowhere near the level of the Mandalorian. Not quite down with Book of Boba Fett yet! Some enjoyable performances though. Liking the Jedi Fallen Order element to it - definitely room in this space for some great stories to be told but just not with such established characters.

That said still have high hopes for Ahsoka...

Still waiting for my guy Cal Kestis to show up or get referenced.

Yep, last episode in the fortress of doom was visually fun with plenty going on. I just wish they'd stop with the random completely implausible escapes, with their friends always showing up in the nick of time.

OWK and Vader in the last episode and the T47 Airspeeders showing up and blasting the entire deck at precisely the moment they get caught - its just soo easy, yawwn. At least they didn't make the stormtroopers quite as dumb and useless in this series, that grated a lot in Mando where every episode was comedy mass murder.

Fuck yeah! Intae him!

I thought it was great, 9yo loved it too. Win all round.

Aunt Beru is a stone cold badass. Very pleasing.

Agreed. Great finale. Visually loved it.

OBK should have finished him off , or maybe he thought he did?
Reva could be the Finn we should have had.

I enjoyed the mandalorian and Boba fett, but Obi-Wan kenobi is almost unwatchable. Second episode. Does it get any better?

Skip to the last ep

LoL

Nothing happens after ep 1 worth watching that isn't tied up nicely in the last ep

TBF sounds like any boxset.

Having just watched the last episode, I'd say my feeling on the series haven't changed.
Because you know there's no risk to any of the main characters, it's pretty much impossible to create any drama.
Too much fan service and not enough pod racing.

It’s pretty dire. I’ve basically given up trying to watch it. It’s all just so mediocre - acting, dialogue, story, action. I found myself wondering if adding a space-Vespa chase sequence might actually improve it

Yeah but Thundercat.

Just finished it. It was ok, stuck within the plot lines but was a bit hard work at times.

I mainly found the rubbish lightsabers disconcerting, he hit a stormtrooper with them and they fell down as if they'd been chopped up except visually nothing had happened.

My 8 year old loved it, I thought it was ok, we got to watch it together, which I think is the point.

Same boat.

My house is full of Starwars toys.

I say they are for my children...

i really enjoyed OWK okay it had some flimsy moments, but after watching Deborah Chow doc on Disney+ getting Ewan, Liam, Hayden back together was a remarkable move.

now getting ready for this, suppose I will have to watch Rogue One again..

Oooh nice that looks great

Andor was very good.
The Deputy Inspector and Sergeant interplay was excellent.

I watched the first three episodes last night, great stuff. Bonus points for Cassian Andor being styled after Get Back Paul McCartney.

I'm enjoying all the new prequels / sequels
LOTR, GOT and SW
Andor is my favourite. Liking the slow build up, especially as being able to watch them quickly.
