ThothAmon Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 I just watch it for the lightsabers. The funny thing is I’m still upset at George Lucas’s lack of empathy when everyone got a medal but Chewbacca. Bosco685, kimik, s-man and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This show might go dip down into the single digits by season end. The positive media reviews are so disingenuous and full of fluff in the face of all the horrible reviews by 90% of the fans. It’s pure comedy. Larryw7, Beige, I like pie and 2 others 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hulksdaddy1 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 On 6/12/2024 at 6:47 PM, NewWorldOrder said: The healing will begin once Bob Igor and Kathleen Kennedy are both no longer with the company. Honest question. What did you think of the witches chant? There is no way you couldnt think that was utter cringe and embarrassing. "The power of one" ""The power of two" "The power of mannnnnnny" OMG just rewatching clips of that is nails on a chalkboard. I feel like this show is Deep Space Nine meets Hocus Pocus, but with a budget that cost more than House of Dragon and the Kenobi series. I am also sad to see Leslye Headland and I share the same birth year of 1980. Oh I also jsut learned also see she used to be the personal asst of Harvey Weinstein, how nice.

Cman429 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 If you would’ve told 6 year old me in my Star Wars pjs with my Star Wars coloring book playing with my Star Wars figures that one day I’d not only not care about Star Wars anymore but I’d actively wish it would go away because they are so intent on ruining it, not sure I could have imagined that.

I've been wondering the same thing about why you continue to reply to him, and I guess I now have a possible answer. I'm generally enjoying the series so far. The first episode was the best--awesome pacing, fast-paced action, and lots of surprises. I hadn't realized how slow-paced most of the Disney Plus Star Wars shows have been until I saw the quick cuts in this series. I like how the High Republic Jedi have FAR more control over the Force than any other Jedi we've seen until now. Makes sense that controlling the Force would be far more advanced during an era when far more Jedi and Sith are around. Episodes 2 and 3 were less compelling, but I haven't lost interest yet. Two questions--are the "coven" witches related to the Dathomirian Nightsisters? Also how are we seeing a female Dathomirian with horns on the right in the pic below? I thought the females didn't have horns. Edited June 14 by fantastic_four Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From one of the games, there was Darth Hexid, a female Zabrak, which is different than a female Dathomirian(subspecies), as far as I understand. Not sure on the coven relations but so far they seem similar. Curious if I can find anything more on that.. Edited June 14 by I like pie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I forgot Dathomirians weren't native to that planet. The wiki page on the species says they settled on several planets, but the females who settled on Dathomir don't have horns. I guess they evolved out of them or perhaps cross-bred with other human species to lose them, not sure. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Zabrak So the horned girl is a Zabrak not from Dathomir.

But here we are. Was it this show that did it? I can see why people don't like it, but I hate to break it to a lot of people that there is a whole generation of people that don't view Luke Skywalker as a main character anymore, and this was well before Disney took over. The universe has expanded so much that different shows, comics, and books focus on different eras and characters, which I like. I can pick what I want to watch or read and ignore other parts if I want. aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the females didn't have horns. I was expecting far worse, in fact the whole family was all ready to start laughing especially my sons. Yet it was just so-so. No one laughed or got really angry while watching. I think a lot of the overreacting is fueled by the hate for profit You Tubers out there and of course the writer in what she says off-camera and the strong LGBTQ agenda. The actors making ridiculous Star Wars trivia mistakes do not help either. Now I certainly have MANY issues, like why did the Jedi kill himself. I thought that may have been the dumbest thing aside from the horrible make-up. On the positive, I thought the Wookiee Jedi was very cool looking and Lee Jung-jae is great. This Witches definitely seems be related to the Nightsisters of Dathomir. I suspect a lot of Star Wars viewers no idea who they are.

I thought that may have been the dumbest thing aside from the horrible make-up. For him to take the Barash Vow, something very heavy must have happened that night that messed with his connection to the Force or that he wanted to atone, but it must have been real messed up that he'd want to kill himself. Hopefully, we learn more that makes that make sense. I get the Barash Vow...but suicide. I dunno. Barash Vow Quote The Barash Vow was an oath taken by Jedi who completely refrained from all activities related to the Jedi Order as a form of penitence, disengaging from anything but the Force itself and committing themselves to gain ultimate communion with it. Jedi Master Barash Silvain originated the practice, and the vow was named after her. Although most Jedi who swore the vow did so as a method of atonement, some did it in order to re-focus themselves on the Force. It's named after a Jedi from phase II of the High Republic books and comics, and there are a handful of examples of it in canon. Another Jedi later in the High Republic era, but before this show took one, and there was another who took the vow years prior to Order 66 and was later found by Vader.

NewWorldOrder Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 (edited) On 6/14/2024 at 4:51 AM, I like pie said: Super Cringe cop out assumption and that has nothing to with the boardies here. No one here has said anything about the show in those terms. All I care about is the story and acting. Most agree so far it's below even sup par. Being "open minded Hollywood" doesn't get you a free pass to create garbage content and not being open to fair criticism. You have the right to enjoy the show and I have the right to say this should cost people their jobs. Generally speaking most people dislike this show, which means Disney failed. Yes, I fully expect by the end of this season Disney will consider it an absolute failure. No show starts with a general censuses of being this bad can ever recover. BTW here you go another new low.

Hide contents The biggest problem people have with part 3 is the Nightsisters creating life. I agree I do like the Wookiee Jedi. I hear everyone liking Lee Jung-jae, I admit I am in the minority here because I feel I seen that kind of character and acting so many times, and good grief how many times can he say Osha per episode. His acting is the best in the series I agree, and that just goes to show you how bad the others are. They all speak English and he had to learn English for this role I heard. I don't think anyone here is angry about it, but the only part I couldnt help but laughing is the "power of" chanting. That was super hard to watch and take serious. Spoiler I fully expect that Sith Lord to be one of the mothers who is now presumed dead. Rip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the payoff for the down voters? It's pretty clear someone recovering from heavy brain trauma can write better than this garbage. Leslye is trying to create her legacy, bolstered by Doll's House. But doing it by standing on the shoulders of George Lucas is only eroding his legacy through this series. The hollywoke is operating in their own world. Only the accountants get to measure the fanbase.
