Second episode, not so much. Major plot-hole like you mentioned - why bring in Kenobi to rescue a high-profile well-known princess, everyone knows she's valuable, derrr! And then young Leia was absolutely annoying AF. Not "feisty" like adult Leia, but worse, and out of a 10-year old is insufferable. Looks like Obi-Wan lost almost all of his force abilities? Why? If he's supposed to watch over Luke, why not at least try to keep your force abilities up to par in case you need to, you know, like PROTECT Luke!? I liked the Blade-Runner-esque feel of Daiyu. Also like the cameo from Morrison as a 501st veteran clone trooper. I hope to never see Kumail Nanjiani ever again, not just in Star Wars, but in anything, ever again. Ugh.  

 

Sometimes it is better to use a scalpel than a sword.  While it is true that she is Senator Organa's daughter...

  • Maybe it is not public knowledge that she was kidnapped.  Perhaps you would not want people openly knowing that it was possible to get that close to the royal family and do that.   Do you send a squad to attract attention or do you send a Jedi?
  • Maybe they are worried that by age ten that Leia might demonstrate some degree of force sensitivity.  In that case it might be best to send a Jedi to apprehend someone who is force sensitive and of high value.

This is a very good point and one I had not thought of.

I don't see a realistic way of having Vader and Obi-Wan meet in this series

This is sequel level BS if they do

I thought I read in a few places the show will give new meaning to the Vader quote from ANH: 

"I sense something; a presence I have not felt since . . . "

The show could fill in that dramatic pause. If so, I wouldn’t be surprised if they do meet and battle and Obi-Wan still bests him. 

Would add another level to the other quote about the last time they met…“I was but a learner, now I am the master”

Actually it makes more sense Vader referring to his time as a padawan

No, having Vader and Obi-Wan face off here is just pandering once again

Disapointing.  Screws with the canon. The Leia story line is too much as well.  They should let Faverau touch everything Star Wars like they do with Feige and Marvel. Something was just off the entire time.  Bad acting along the way too from the third inquisitor and that first Jedi.  Grand inquisitor too easy to kill

I don’t think he’s dead…

Spoiler

he’s credited in all 6 episodes on IMDB.

Yeah, I get that, and it probably is pandering. Probably pandering to me who will eat it up, but I won’t be blind to how shameless it will be.

Overall enjoyed the two shows.  My thoughts:

- Third Sister/Reva's acting is over top at times, to me. Trying to sell what she is saying, but comes across as just forced.

- Leia was taken because it is known that Obi Wan fought alongside Bail Organa, not because she is known as Vader's daughter (imo)

- Feel like there were a few times where the light saber did not look right or the angle was off (to the point where it look like if it was correct, it would go through a person)

I agree about Kenobi not using / losing his touch with the force (this was brought up in the video game Fallen Order, if anyone has played it) and waiting/wanting to train Luke. "I am little rough in the force right now but let me train you anyhow."

Still enjoyed it.

Got extra excited about seeing the Bad Batch second season trailer.

Say what you want about MCU, DC or even Snyder fandom. Star Wars fans are horrible at times.

 

Fandoms are terrible and toxic as hell. I'm willing to bet, most of these messages came from people who only recognize the OT as Star Wars. 

Star Wars captured my imagination and I'm captivated by it, so I watch all the shows and read as much as I can. Other than engaging here and other comic boards, that is really the extent to my exposure.

I don't have time or energy to engage or tolerate the range of emotions people dedicate to this stuff. Just tell me a good story and engage me. If I don't like it, I will tell you all its no good, but that's all I have the energy for.

Reva knew leia is Vader's daughter just by doing some checks ! And Vader had no clue till ROTJ. Bit hard to believe. 

When did they reveal this ?  I thought Reva just knew about the connection between Obi Wan and Bail Organa so thought by kidnapping Leia would mean Bail would reach out to Obi Wan.

Yeah, the only thing she would know by looking through the Jedi Archives, like she said, is to know they fought together.

Some believe she was revealing that she knew Leia was his daughter, but I'm not sure about that. If so, there is more to how she knows

If this was true, I don't think Bail would say "Only you know how important she really is, Obi-Wan" when asking for his help.

Yeah. Besides Yoda, Obi-Wan, Bail, and the droids in the room, the only other person that I'm quite confident who knows the secret is the Emperor.

Toxic fans aside, the actress playing Reva is terrible.  Her acting is over the top and just not good.  My wife suggested that she needs to find a new occupation.

It's unfortunate that so many are crossing the line with their comments on twitter.
