This show is basically the same in that regard so far. Episode 3 was still by far the strongest and I enjoyed every minute of it, though. Yeah I was strictly just talking about that. Grown man protects child. Both shows are based on the same story point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltman Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Was wondering if we’d get a “Well I know how to get in” and we see Cal Kestis…but makes sense not to the bring another Jedi into this I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Pretty good episode, but the only part that took me out of it was Fortress Inquisitorious having no defenses because "who would be dumb enough to attack it" sheer idiocy. Literally any threat against the empire would be stupid not to attack it in that case considering you could kill several high level targets rather easily by firebombing the base. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acgott Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 Mediocre episode with a few cool parts. The only Jedi I recognized was Tera Sinube from Clone Wars. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Tera_Sinube 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty21 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) Pros: -Obi Wan showing off force powers was cool, holding the glass together to not let water in -Leia’s actor was actually pretty okay in interrogation scenes. Just don’t make her run again for the love of god -sneak missions were cool, as sneak missions were a significant part of the prequels despite Jedis reach being prevalent then. -good build of suspense the last two episodes -Obi Wan being a Jedi and deflecting blasts: hell yeah Cons: -Ewan McGregor’s dentures creep me out every time he grimaces -the third sister deflecting blasters from a starfighter or whatever is stupid af -the third sister launching projectiles into the starfighter to blow it up is genuinely more force power than I’ve ever seen Darth Vader give off in the movies or shows lol Id say overall the last two episodes I haven’t been terribly disappointed. Ewan doesn’t feel like he remembers how to play Obi Wan anymore but there are glimpses where he feels familiar again.

Love fallen order and cal kestis but I’d rather him stay separate from this. Not just because the tie in would 100% be done corny af, but because I like fallen order feeling like a separate entity. Very much the same universe and intertwining story (esp since the game ended with a fight/escape from Vader) but he has more a vagabond/do my own thing kind of story 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D82 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I really wish shows that are supposed to be serious would stop including child actors. 99.9% of them just can't pull off the range of emotions needed. Leia did not look at all frightened during those interogation scenes. The kid can definitely match her temperament and tone in some parts, but overall I think them going this route with this series was a bad idea. And Obi-Wan can barely move a small object with the Force earlier in the episode...but then can suddenly hold back the weight of an entire ocean a few scenes later? Without any effort or training? It'd be one thing if they showed us him doing some training or whatever to get back some of his proficieny (especially after seeing him basically get his *** kicked by Vader) but for it to just happen like that? C'mon. There are parts of this series that are really good, but so, so many that just take me out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon. I didn't have a problem with that. Chalk it up to muscle memory combined with adrenaline. Same reason why moms lift a car off of their hurt child and stuff like that. He didn't have the blind fear and panic that he had when Vader was around to cloud him this time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would’ve been wedged in there for sure, though it wouldn’t have seemed that out of place considering how the rest of the show has sorta been. Im curious what he’s been up to and what part of this time period he’s in, timeline wise The sequel is happening around this show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kestis and Vader kinda decimated that base. The empire must’ve really liked the location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah hard to be that location. 360 Ocean views, close but not too close to Vader’s place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
