Disney has definitely forgotten about how anger, fear, and hate all lead to the dark side. Just look at Rey--how many times does she get incredibly angry, screaming in rage, with no consequences? Also, I never noticed this but, why does Leia know she's adopted? Why would Bail or anyone that knew the truth tell her that?

[@aliqzakry834]

I think it's because her parents are prominent political figures. It probably wasn't a secret that she was adopted. IMO it makes sense because people probably would question how they suddenly have a child without the wife being pregnant. As for how she knows, idk maybe she figured it out? She is a smart kid... This is my head canon anyway

[@omma911]

I doubt that a famous politican could believably explain how his wife has given birth all of a sudden when everyone had seen that she was never pregnant, assuming his wife is also a public figure.

In a real world there would definitely be a sizable number of people who support the Empire and are fooled by their propaganda. But they act like the whole Galaxy hates and fears them. You can't stay in power when the entire population hates you, it just doesn't work. You can make them fear you but you also need to give them a way to believe that you are better than the alternative.

I think Disney is gonna get to a point where they uncanonize the original trilogy and replace it for something with the quality of the sequels.

Yep, they would hire such a diverse cast for it too. They would make Vader a woman, Luke a black guy, Leia a feminists who basically takes Lukes role, and everyone else is either a black guy, gay guy, black girl, feminist, Lesbian, Transgender, Non binary, or very Fat. And the only masculine males would be very very toxic and turn out to be controlling and lying to Vader.

[@garym6315]

I think they actually painted themselves in to a corner by having the original trilogy actors in the sequel trilogy and the TV shows. If they'd bought Lucasfilm now, they would have rebooted the whole thing as a "less problematic" version. But they messed up by connecting The Force Awakens to the old film. It ties their hands as to what they can do. Hence why we get stuff like this where they try to retcon Leia's prominence in the entire saga. If you can't remake the trilogy then make prequels that re-frame your perspective on events.

[@infinitelybanta]

The stormtrooper on the transport scene is a great example of how they really couldn’t have given this script any thought at all. It would be so simple to write it so those particular stormtroopers weren’t assigned to look for the Jedi, that they were doing something else. You’d still have tension until that’s revealed or maybe you don’t even reveal it at all. But this show seems to go out of its way to raise basic questions that are never addressed, let alone answered. Like how they’ve treated Star Wars since they bought it, it feels like the people responsible for one installment are not given the full details about the other installments. When you show in the previous episode that there are images of Obi Wan floating around to people trying to capture him, the audience is going to note that and then wonder how others can’t recognize him later on. This is so basic that I really can’t imagine that anyone who was aware of the previous episode would write it like this on purpose. It’s like they assigned different people to each episode and only gave them the most basic description of the overall story.

[@averagewtaker82]

The Kenobi show is like a friend you wanna defend but they do so much dumb shit you can't keep defending them.

[@rienjen]

The only reason I appreciate (on some small level) that the Kenobi series exists--to listen to Robot Head and other KZbinrs break down JUST HOW STUPID this story is. I was literally laughing at my television when the stormtroopers said they were looking "for a Jedi," but had zero additional information, when just an episode before, Reva texted a freakin' image of Kenobi to random bounty hunters. And the fire scene...dear Lord! This is fan fiction at its worst...but it is hilarious!

If you listen to these people then even if Disney improves you won't enjoy any of it, these KZbinrs will shit all over everything Disney make regardless if the quality, it's how they make their money. The fandom menace used to be a good thing, someone needed to speak out on behalf of fans about the God awful sequel trilogy and its politics, but these days the fandom menace is as twisted as the SJWs and Reylos they oppose, and they both suffer from chronic confirmation bias. Disney's Star Wars TV shows are flawed, there's no doubt about that but they're far more enjoyable when you stop listening to the likes of Robot Head, Geeks and Gamers and the other joy vampires who suck the fun out of everything.

The issue was never inherent to a Jedi Order, it was that Cal had no way of easily contacting the people needed to make it work. If I ran for political office completely by myself, I'm not going to win. If I could contact other people with similar goals and politics, get us all working together, and then launch a campaign, I just might stand a chance. The Path solves this issue. You have hundreds (if not more) Jedi who are now in contact, and thus could get on the same page and make a group effort, thus succeeding. Dealing with one Jedi and his padawans is one thing, dealing with 500 Jedi masters and their padawans is something else entirely. Also, before anyone says a new Jedi Order of this size would simply be caught and cut down in its infancy - is The Path itself any less of an issue for the Empire? Yet the Path is evidentially able to remain hidden, so why couldn't a small-ish but unified new Jedi Order with the exact same resources the Path currently has?

According to the Sequels they accomplished absoutely nothing in the long run and their entire bloodline is wiped clean from the galaxy by the end of Episode IX.

Exactly. Having other Jedi around only ruins the fact that the Jedi are in their final, desperate hour, and once Obi-Wan and Yoda are dead, as Yoda said to Luke, "The last of the Jedi will you be." So, the stakes are seriously high when Luke confronts Vader and the Emperor, because if Luke loses, the Jedi are gone. But since Luke wins, it feels like the Jedi are about to come back from near extinction.

Not sure they were overly subtle about the Empire being evil in the OT either. But they at least trusted the symbolism and their actions to make it obvious what they were. In reality most evil powers go to great lengths to disguise that and portray themselves as benevolent. Because it just doesn't work otherwise. You can argue that we don't really see the public face of the Empire at any time, what the average citizen sees. Which is a shame, I always thought that would be a really cool angle to explore. I want to see a story about a young man who volunteers to be a stormtrooper, the adventures of their unit. Maybe some moral questioning when they start to wonder if they are really the bad guys after all. Because guys don't join something like that thinking that they really want to be a villain and help the bad guys. The boys who enlisted in the SS were all convinced they were joining the good guys, to help defend their country. They weren't like "man I wish I could just go murder people and help reinforce evil". Every military ever in history was convinced they were the good guys.

Would have been great to hear Vader do the same, as his fixation on Obi-wan is partly because of this, and also because he wants to sever his old bonds, but still, it was always passion that motivated Anakin to become Vader. I understand that the things and people he was passionate about are no longer around, but he could have still still felt passion and showed some sith hatred for the man who took everything, even three of his limbs, and left him to die. This Vader should have been a continuation of the one from the end of Episode 3 where he finds out Padme is dead and destroys everything via force energy. If this was the case then the scene where Vader killed civilians indiscriminately wouldn't have looked like a typical Sunday for our Sith, and made more sense (he'll kill anyone to get to Obi Wan).

[@reyskywalker9777]

this video is filled with plot holes

[@scar-gs3tz]

I’m sorry but the scene when vader ignites his lightsaber and obi wan stands there looking like he’s about to ignite his but last second just darts off screen is so fucking comical 😭😭😭

[@yoyoitsjadon443]

“ i dont like calling them writers. Its offensive tk people who can actually write” this had me dying😂😂😂

[@DecanFrost]

it's obvious they plan on remaking the original trilogy.

[@Heartshapedbox81]

Meh, If they did that I think it'd be the first seal broken on an apocalypse lmao

[@DecanFrost]

@@Heartshapedbox81 dude they already have, by the changes in Boba and Obi-Wan

[@Heartshapedbox81]

@@DecanFrost let's just agree that incompetent writing does not belong in the Canon, if people wish to frustrate themselves with these Abominations that they continue to churn out by saying they will ruin the Original Stories, I will have to point out that the original stories were made first and the later ones were not created nor approved by George Lucas so there's that... 💁🏾‍♀️

[@chichiboypumpi]

I reckon that’s their goal to cancel the original Trilogy

[@RobotHead]

I'm starting to think you might be right

[@chichiboypumpi]

@@RobotHead Amazon is doing the same with JRR Tolkien’s, next these socialist rainbow blights would be after Narnia. “Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made.”

There are so many departments giving this show their all, and the story group just out and about smelling the flowers and the leadership is just out to lunch it feels.

[@SonicHedgehog1991]

It saddens me how our favourite franchise and company choose to follow the wrong side instead of ignoring them and just continue telling the story they've been telling for the past 20 years

[@Stoneflower007]

I can’t get over how dumbed down the lightsabers are in this show. Like big glowing baseball bats that don’t know if they cut or club. Thanks for the content! I was eagerly anticipating another drop about this show from you. Keep up the good work! May the force be with you.

[@danielloader3351]

they no longer look the same either. They look and act more like glowsticks than deadly weapons

[@johnnyboro9558]

@@danielloader3351 i think they look pretty good, i like how they give off more light and make nearby objects glow makes them look less CGI imo but yes a bit cartoonishy glowsticky. i hate the way the sabers bounce off things tho. they do look like nerf bats sometimes bouncing off storm trooper armor and stuff

[@BKapLive]

crazy how far this franchise has fallen

[@senpaizac4687]

Man Im sick of Disney🤮🤮🤮

[@ViewTube_Emperor_of_Mankind]

The Gate scene really bothered me way more than it should. Was the dumbest Star Wars Moment ever to me but then I started to remember the movies that my brain is trying to forget.

[@warr_toast1139]

Huh funny, Disney been showing that lightsaber can't cut through almost anything, but the f-ing laser gate does?!

[@desmondd1984]

You need a longer video to cover all the stupidity. I love when Reva captures Obi-Wan, and he's completely surrounded by stormtroopers, but then then she sends him inside again with two stormtroopers (who he easily kills), and then Vader comes down to the planet, and is like, "Where's Obi-Wan?" Well Lord Vader, he's inside, escaping. Soooo dumb...

[@fearthesnake7470]

The funniest part of this series is how Obi-Wan magically gets all of his strength back, despite being a complete dumbass for the first 5 episodes, and SOMEHOW defeats Vader, who's been training for 10 YEARS for such a moment to occur. My god, these "writers" never watched the original trilogy...

[@myujokt733]

Nor the prequel trilogy.

[@mobiusevalon]

Those defending Kenobi either trot out the "let's see you do better" strawman or argue that we should be thankful an effort was made at all and should kiss Disney's feet that we got any content at all.

[@Tabth3778]

thanks disney, for ruining the one thing i was looking forward to out of disney star wars

[@the98themperoroftheholybri33]

Obi wan is apparently afraid of Vader. Who said "fear is the path to the dark side?" again? You'd think a Jedi master would know this concept very well
