No, I'm through supporting Disney. I mean, by canon, the show should consist of Obi-Wan hanging around in the desert, watching Luke from a distance and having occasional minor interactions with him, and... that's pretty much it. "Keeping a low profile" doesn't exactly make for exciting storytelling.
Disney's hemmed in by its own sequel trilogy, and that's just kinda stupid. The books and comics and video games went past the "scrappy underdogs against an entrenched evil empire" scenario; I'm not sure why Disney can't. They want more interesting female characters, but then don't give them the struggles and sufferings that mould let them BE interesting. I'd take a THOUSAND Mara Jades over a Rey. Hell, I'd take a thousand MARAs over a Rey, and he's not even FROM Star Wars (although a Star Wars/Lord of Light crossover is a very interesting idea...).
Anyway, Disney's stuck with the current timeline- so why stay there? Go into the far future, or the distant past; tell us about the efforts to found the Republic in the first plage, or just give us some stories oy exploration, out among the uncharted stars. Give us the story of a pregnant woman who loses her husband, only to have the Jedi order gome knocking, claiming that her unborn child is so force-sensitive that it would be a threat to leave untrained, raising questions of just how "voluntary" that training is, and whether a person's right to make their own life supersedes public safety. Heck, maybe the reason the baby seems so strong is that they're actually twins, and she has to give one of them up, Sophie's Choice style, and then raises the other to HATE the Jedi on some desolate, crime-ridden backwater to stay hidden, and you wind up with a harsh but well-intentioned crime lord bringing stability and peace, gradually improving the place, conflicting with his/her sibling, a better-trained but hopelessly idealistic naif with a firm code of morals but little sense of how the real world works. Just THINK of the ideas and themes you could explore in a situation like that!
But no. They just do Tattooine and the same characters, over and over again.
I haven't and don't think I wanna. I think Star Wars kinda always sucked. It was okay for the first three movies because the cast was really good. But I think all the others were so horrible like 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9. All terrible! And I like Ewan McGregor but he was also terrible in 1, 2, 3. That's the stiffest acting I've ever seen from him! That Lucas guy has turned completely senile as I see it and then he sold it to even more tone-deaf people after.
I don't support disney, but there are plenty of sources to watch the show without going to Disney. I have just seen the first episode and I will watch the second one later. I thought it was just ok. Star Wars hasn't been the same since Disney bought it.
It will get better. I read somewhere that Disney is scrapping the last 3 Star Wars movies and planing new movies that go in a different direction. They are basically going to say those moves are not cannon.

I still have to see it, but one of my brothers who's a starwars freak already spoiled it all. I'll still watch it, but I really would have liked the surprise.

Watched both first episodes last night and love the mystery near the end of the second one (I won't spoil it). One thing I will say is that it so far lacks the humor and clever lines in the script that is so famous and widely used in all the Star Wars movies and shows, so whoever is writing the script doesn't quite have the knack as Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau's writers.
I think it's off to a decent start. Not too crazy about the 3rd sister character, in my opinion the inquisitor storyline in Rebels was more impactful when they pitted the darkside fallen Barris against Ahsoka. Picking another padaqan from The Clone Wars series would have been a little better. But all in all, getting McGregor and Hayden both to work on it is a bigger deal, and they got that right. Too soon to tell a lot more.

I really liked it, it wasn't as good as the Mandalorien and like the first episode is like more a build up and shit but still I loved the costumes and I'm ready for this story to start and already really excited Also how cute is lea 😍 haha

It's great they managed to get Ewan McGregor to plan the part as in the movies, but I just don't see the point of it. Everything that is worth knowing about the character has already been told
Do it! I'm so excited for the Star Wars community to get to experience this. Coming from someone who never really enjoyed star wars but rewatched them for Rise of Skywalker. I love this series. Brought tears to my eyes specially all the little things they say throughout it. ❤️🌸 Only true fans will understand.
Lovin' it. Obi My Wan and Kenobi. He's so uncivilized. The Ella Enchanted Leia scenes were throwing me off a bit but second viewing helped cohesify it all. Reva has some growth to have and Inquisitors could be better.

Yeah seeing flea from the chilli peppers was a surprise. I did think little Leia was sweet. Obviously getting Hayden, and MacGregor involved was a big win too.
Not yet. Here in Finland, the first 2 episodes are shown in the theater. They might as well release it as a movie trilogy rather than 6x45 min episodes.
Oh wow, not gonna lie! To see this in theaters I'm mad jealous over. I think another movie would have been a good idea. It feels like a continuation from when order 66 took place. And it's truly great.
Because i loved the ones that were directed by goerge lucas and its a bit depressing seeing disney just milking the series without any thought to it at all, the series has lost its soul and what makes it even more dumb is that they could fix it by just giving people the time to actually write and direct proper stories.
I mean its disney... What are the chances of them actually Making something good? I guess you could hope for a miracle, if the right people work on in but its like lottery with disney, sometimes its good often its horrible.
Once Disney acquired starwars i lost all interest in it. Disney is infested with both woke libertards and pedophiles and I refuse to finicialy support them.
I can completely understand that. And Disney did ruin star wars with the Skywalker saga and what not but this series is nostalgic. But I can respect your decision due to who runs it. I don't agree either. However I'm not buying plus. Just using someone's account.
Yeah, actually as a result of keeping Lucas, Filoni and Favreau in the storytelling loop, quite a bit of the disney star wars stuff has been pretty good.
Eh, nvm. Long story short. There is this girl I have a crush with at work. We speak occasionally. She is very nice, and does most of the talking. I bought her a gift, and eventually asked her to coffee, and she said she was a bit too busy (ended up being true). Soo I owned up to the fact I had a crush on her. She told me she was honored, but was currently seeing someone... After that I felt embarrassed, and was struggling with depression/insecurity and even stopped talking to her or making eye contact. So we didn't talk for about 2 months. Now I've started talking to her again, and she is still really nice.
I plan of explaining myself to her before the summer comes. I want to tell her that I am struggling a lot, and avoiding her wasn't cause I dont like her or didn't want to talk... and want to use the summer to reset myself.
I want to end on a good note. I dont necessarily expect her to date me If its friends then its okay
If you guys are good friends. And you feel she would genuinely care. Then yeah, you could let her know. However if you think she would brush your feelings to the side. Then I wouldn't recommend it.
It truly depends on what you want to accomplish from letting her know. There is a good chance she may not even think to much about it and doesn't think it was her at all. But if you tell her she could say something like "oh I'm sorry to hear that, glad to know it wasn't me."
It's honestly up to what you think her judge of character is. From the sounds of it. She will most likely care. And be nice and may even ask what's wrong.
You should keep me updated! I hope I was helpful!
If it was me I would wanna try and help! So if there is anything I can do. Don't be afraid to reach out!
Thanks! Well, it wasn't just her I've been really distant with most people for a while. I was struggling, and have no one to talk with. I would just avoid social situations in general.
Since she was so nice with me, and would talk to me often and then I just stopped talking (especially after her telling me she had a partner).. I dont want to leave the year on a bad note, making it seem like I have no interest in speaking.
Like I said, I've talked to her a few times over the past weekend, and she's nice as always. Just wanted to end things on a positive note and let her know (in a natural way), that im working on myself, and my coldness is from struggles im having.
With how she will react to it? I am not sure. She has told me personal things before, about struggling and I've mentioned to her in the past of struggles and she seemed to genuinely care. So perhaps she will care..
the main point is I want to make it so my coldness is understandable. and that I am using this summer as a reset to better myself That way I see more approachable.
Knowing more now. I think you will be fine telling her. As well as she will be understandable.
Good for you on wanting to better yourself. But don't beat yourself up either. You don't always have to be okay It's okay to not be okay at times. At least your trying you know?
Thanks! :) I will for sure try to find a way to tell her. I thought maybe id make a joke about work... like Wednesday, walking to her and being like "Its Friday right?" and then telling her we only have a few days left until Summer!! and ask her what she's doing for the Summer and then it would be easy to just move to telling her my Summer plans :)
Why does he need to give up being friends? He was going through something. That didn't have something to do with her. He went silent to fix himself. That doesn't mean he needs to never speak with her again.
Now of it hurts him then he should take it slow. But don't let a girl get you down forever.
She is a decent actress. She is very upset. And wants I think a little to aggressive in her acting. But then again she is a third sister from the dark side. I also think it will be interesting to see if Cal has anything to do with this series. Even a glimpse.
I agree with you for the most part. I did watch the movies (except for the Han Solo one - I just could not get an opportunity to watch it); I've seen all the major releases in theaters including Star Wars in 1977.
But, I won't bother with anything behind a paywall. Disney and CBS and God knows who else - they "buy IP" and do "brand extension" so they can milk the shit out of it like a cow until it dies. Disney did that with Peanuts and is doing it with Star Wars. CBS is doing it with Star Trek. I am surprised Disney hasn't bought the Harry Potter empire so it can do the same thing. Frankly, it's just a matter of time.
I knew when Disney paid Lucas (I think, $4B), it was "Game Over" and that they were going to get a constant output of crap. Even if it's not crap as may be the case with this Obi Wan show, it just makes each thing less valuable or special. The suits don't give a shit - they just care about getting paid now.
That makes sense. I watched them but never really grasped them at a young age them my so loves them and wanted to see the new one so he had me watch them all so I was up to speed.
You did nothing wrong @NathanDavis. I was never picking on you. Let me explain.
Star Wars is considered "science fiction" by most people because 1) there are spaceships and advanced technology and 2) there are aliens.
But, to people to whom science fiction is actually important, a critical element of science fiction is that the currently non-existent technology in the story is leading to new types of situations with all sorts of new problems or ethical quandaries. What SciFi does is make you think and feel in response.
Star Wars isn't about that. It's just an epic comic book movie. Sort of like Flash Gordon but with better special effects. Star Wars has religious crap and is ultimately mythology about good and evil with a zillion characters. No different than ancient Greek mythology, but the ships sail space, not the Seven Seas.
Parenthetically, keep that in mind: People want and pay for mythologies. Star Wars is a mythology. Star Trek is a mythology. Harry Potter is a mythology.
However, even team sports - yes, sports - are real-life nonfiction mythologies.
Think about it: Like in baseball, we talk about these great heroes and events from years or even generations ago. This stuff is handed down generation after generation. We create Halls of Fame to cement the myths, etc.
For example, Michael Jordan is really a mythological figure and if you remember seeing his exploits in the 1990s, that is easy to see. Google "Flu Game" which was the Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals. The Chicago Bulls needed to win that game in Utah to go 3-2 in the series. However, certain Utah Jazz fans who were pizzeria employees decided to alter MJ's pizza the night before. Jordan woke up with "flu-like symptoms" but he was really food-poisoned. Jordan miraculously played in that game and was the key factor in the Bulls winning that game. I saw that game live on NBC. An amazing moment... The kind of thing that builds up the story of the journey of sports mythological hero, Michael Jordan.
Star Wars is like that too with Luke Skywalker...
Both are "Hero's Journeys".
Real science fiction usually has more complex stories than "the hero's journey". "Jurassic Park" is a decent example of science fiction.
I’ll never forgive them for turning their back on him, all because they didn’t want to associate themselves with him.
When for one it’s proving to be that the accusations against him where proven to be untrue. And also because he is the reason they where able to make a whole series of films. So a little bit of appreciation for him is warranted
No one can do it better. He is a phenomenal actor.
Definitely lost my respect Disney. BUT I'm a huge kid at heart. My childhood is Disney. I won't pay for it myself anymore. But I will watch it. (I respect your decision not to) if you ever get to a point where you could forgive them. I recommend it. If you like star wars it's phenomenal.
I think Disney is trash because all their new releases are focused on diversity and pushing lgbt community and minority stuff. Marvel is focused on women superheroes and making men useless. Dr Strange movie is a good example. Look how they ruined Dr Strange and made him weak, made fun of him the whole movie for multiple things like not getting the girl, not being sorcerer supreme, not knowing Spanish, being evil in all the other multiverse, and they even had no good fight scene for him. Disney has ruined their movies and is making fun of their original cast because they’re all white male heroes. I can’t handle the obvious agenda pushing. China isn’t going to show movies with homosexual content so I don’t know why they keep appeasing them.
I think so. I think what they have is what we're getting which is sad I certainly loved getting to know the story behind him and the snarlack Pitt. I also have a mad respect for tusken raiders. (Minus the fact they killed Anikins mom of course!!)
