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

 

What's worse is that they warned her in advance that this would happen.

I told the same thing to someone here, where Star Wars fans can be the absolute worst in so many different ways.  No matter what they do, there is is always some guy that thinks it sucks because it is not what they would do. They don't know how to enjoy anything.

Found it... 

There was an article from May 23rd claiming that Disney warned the actress this might happen even before Episodes 1 and 2 aired.

Wow! Amazing that Disney even had to call this out, knowing there is a pattern of ignorance.

Saw the first episode last night and will try to get to second one tonight. Like Ewan as Kenobi and always thought he did a good job. Will need more of the Leah subplot to make a judgement but seemed "that darned kid again..."

[Buzzetta]

Liked Episode 3 a lot.  Spoilers if you have not seen it. 
 

Spoiler

Quinlon Vos survived Order 66 !

I liked Vader toying with Kenobi to drive in that sense of fear.  Adds to a level of revenge when he tries to drag Kenobi through fire to make him suffer.  Kenobi escapes but Vader allows it to make Kenobi suffer again on his own terms. 

So the empire is going after all force sensitive people especially children.  Leia is in double danger.

Welcome Zac Braff to the Star Wars universe.

The last time we saw Vader this dark was in Rogue One.  Walking through the village snapping necks to see if it stirs emotions from Obi Wan was brilliant. Like Rogue One it adds to Vader’s reputation as to why we should fear this guy. 
 

Where is the Grand Inquisitor?  We already know that Disney is not ignoring Rebels based on Ahsoka so… GI is alive in rebels so what gives ?

Watched the first two yesterday. It's an enjoyable show, and it's great to see Ewan back as Obi-Wan. My only complaint is the music. Where's the Force theme(Binary Sunset), Leia's theme and other music that is pretty important in conveying emotion and character motivation? The music from the show is generic Television series music. The show would be so much more epic if they used a full fledged orchestral score in my opinion.

I was thinking the same actually and watched the credits for Episode 3.  Apparently they “adapted” elements of the original soundtrack like Obi Wan’s theme but like you, I’m not really seeing it.

Hear, hear!

Episode 3 was a big improvement of the first two. I was also shocked a little by the violence.

Big thumbs up.

Quinlon Vos surviving Order 66 wasn't really in doubt, but this is more confirmation that he survived in canon.  I know he plays a role in Dark Disciple (which I haven't and refuse to read because, ironically, I don't want it to be canon).

The Empire going after force sensitive kids was a plot in Rebels so seeing it's been an ongoing goal of the Empire is a nice touch.

Who did Zac Braff play?  Was he that weird mole man driver?  I kept trying to pin that voice.

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

Crossing the line seems to be all Twitter is used for.

I am really enjoying this series so far.  Ep III was intense and great!  John Williams is scoring the series, and it does seem the music cues are more muted or partial to what we'll eventually hear in A New Hope.  Maybe we'll get the full orchestra in the last episode...

 

[Bosco685]

I liked the third episode because of who showed up. He seems to add the intensity just by appearing.

But for me, Leia is coming across like a Mary Sue and a tiny bit annoying.

She's a kid.  Ahsoka was annoying in season 1 of the Clone Wars as well.  I'm not even sure what "Mary Sue" is supposed to mean but I think it's great we're seeing a hint of who she eventually becomes.  She's easily a product of the Organa's, but also her biological parents.

[I like pie]

Enjoyed the first two but episode 3 was very for me.

[awakeintheashes]

Really happy we are getting to see how powerful and evil Vader really became. We see it in the comics, But besides the couple minutes in RO, it hasn’t been displayed on screen. 

Spoiler

By the way they are setting it up, you can tell GI shows back up and messes up Reva. Anyone who has watched Rebels knows he’s still around, but for those unfamiliar it will be a big surprise, I’m sure.

It's not so much that I think they are writing her as a Mary Sue because she does keep finding herself in genuine trouble that she needs others to get her out of.  I felt that they are writing her more like a young Carrie Fisher than a young Leia Skywalker / Organa.

The Plot....

Earth tech way better in the 70s...

Obi-Wan Episode 3 Carving Translation Turns Multiple “Legends” Jedi Into Canon

Canon but still cool:

Caleb Dume (Kanan Jarrus)

 

Legends:

Jedi Master Djinn Altis

Quote

Djinn Altis is a Legends character who was a male human Jedi master that created his own splinter group of Jedi called the Altisian Jedi who were loyal to the Republic but did not agree with all of the restrictions of the main Jedi Order. They were allowed to have families and take on multiple apprentices at one. 

The core difference between Djinn’s sect of Jedi was that he believed that Jedi should be encouraged to have attachments. Although he was considered a little kookoo by many, he was still able to rise to the rank of Jedi Master.

Although he participated in the Clone Wars with his acolytes, including missions with Anakin and Ahsoka, they were able to all survive order 66 because they did not work closely with Clones. Allowing them to go underground once the Jedi purge started.

 

Roganda Ismaren

Quote

Roganda Ismaren is a Female former Jedi Initiate from Alderaan who, like Djinn Altis, first appears in the novel Children of the Jedi but has not appeared in comic form yet. This mention is her first canon mention. Her story is long… and very odd…

Roganda survived Order 66 by being smuggled with other young initiates with the help of Jedi Master Plett. But was eventually found by the Inquisitorious and taken into Imperial custody. She eventually grew into an adult woman and became one of Palpatine’s concubines. Which is a terribly unpleasant thought but a girl has to survive. She got pregnant, promoted to Emporers hand, and began grooming her son to be the heir to the empire. Her son eventually killed her.

 

Valin Halcyon aka Hal Horn

Quote

Like Luke Skywalker, Valin was born a secret son of a Jedi Maser. His father was Jedi Master Nejaa Halcyon. Unlike Luke Skywalker he had a real relationship with his father and eventually became his apprentice. Once his father died after the Clone Wars ( I assume during Order 66) he was adopted by his stepfather and given the surname Horn when his mother married.

From there the Correlian former Jedi Padawan became a CorSec officer and had a son, Corren Horn, who grew up to be a Force sensitive Rogue Sqaudron pilot.

I actually thought the mole man was Seth Rogen. Was surprised it was Braff.
