[@thebrowneyesofmandalore]

This video honestly makes me proud to be a viewer of the channel. That clip in the beginning, spot on. Literally how how I felt. Everything you said I couldn’t have said better myself. I really appreciate that there’s someone like you that appreciates what we’re missing. I watch a good amount of channel that cover Star Wars and yours has the best reaction/ review I’ve seen yet. Bravo 👏 A dream of mine is to become a filmmaker so that I can fix the clown show that Hollywood has become and actually make good stories. This show is what drives me. An abomination that needs correcting.

I could feel your struggle my friend haha. "Struggling" is probably the best word to describe ep1&2.

[@TrueKoalaKnight]

Any wound to the heart will kill you in moments. Doesn't matter what the weapon is. A gut wound can take weeks to kill you whether it's a laser sword or a gun shot. The real question is why would you stab someone with a lightsaber and not drag it out sideways for maximum damage? Judging from the rest of the events of the story I'd say it's because there were standing orders not to kill Jedi unless absolutely necessary.

[@muldoone6920]

[@Pinkielover]

that Star Wars costume designer died. She was extremely meticulous. there's an interview of the cast of ahsoka they talk about her how intricate she was with her costume designs think the interview this was put up a couple days ago Hayden Christensen was on it, Dave Filoni, and the rest of the cast and then they start talking about Ray Stevenson didn't know that he would bring stuff from what he found that day. Like rocks, and stuff and they would add it to his costume. They talk about that.

[@rippingbag]

Waited all day for this review!!! NOW THIS... is where the fun begins!!!

[@riveratradinggroup]

I appreciate the premise you forward at the beginning to lay out why fans are so vested in what is presented by Disney in the newer Star Wars product. Fans love SW and it is they, through the years, that have made the franchise what it is. To ignore them or belittle them is a big misstep. That being said, SW is for everyone and everyone is welcomed at the table. Heck, the SW universe is fully diverse. No need to elevate any class over any other thou.

[@Landwehr900]

dude, the costumes are intentionally not the more subtle and humble monk type costumes. The Jedi in the High Republic use more church-like tabards and embroidered gold/white to symbolize just how untouchable/powerful they are in this era while in the temple -- outside of the temple they wear more what you would expect. I understand if you think the quality of the costumes feel weak but there's textual reasoning behind the design here/

[@beee462]

Some food for thought. Yes, everyone keeps repeating the line 'the Sith have been extinct for a millennia' but forget that Palpatine told Anakin about Darth Plageous the Wise, the Sith that taught Palpatine. So we know for sure 2 generations of Sith that the Jedi didn't know about (before they knew about Palpatine) when that statement was made. So I'm hoping this story, being 100 years before TPM, taps into that story. Also, talking about not really connecting with current Star Wars, this is nothing new. When the prequels were released, they were not well received...at all (complaints on bad acting, bad writing, wooden characters, over-reliance on CGI and casting to just name some complaints). In fact the 'purest' wanted the movies to be removed from cannon and forgotten. There was an entire campaign for it. It got so bad in fact, it was one of the reasons (of course not the only one) that Lucas retired and sold the IP to Disney. Because prior to doing the prequels, he had plans on also doing the sequels. He did give other reasons for selling and not doing the sequels (like the time it takes to make a trilogy [3 years per movie at the time of the interview] and his age). As with the costumes, the original lady that did it unfortunately passed away. Plus, it is 100 years prior, I mean clothing styles change and if they had it not change, that would be worse, imo. I didn't mind the costumes here or what they have been lately. But that of course if just my opinion. Ultimately, my guess is that in another 20 years, those who are growing up with this generation of Star Wars will love it and not like anything new coming out (if there are new titles being released in 20 years) and the cycle will continue. When you have a long running IP like this, change is inevitable. New stories are inevitable. Some will hit, some will miss. Just can't keep telling the same stories with the same characters over and over again. And as a side note, I am not trying to invalidate/change your opinions/feelings on the latest Star Wars IP. I respect them. Just giving some food for though/insight of what I have observed as someone that grew up with the originals. SPOILERS And as for Carrie Ann Moss character, they literally took a play from Scream. Drew Barrymore was in the press and the face for Scream prior to release. She lasted maybe 5 minutes more than Carrie lol.

[@wayfaring_stranger_]

You are 100% correct. This is a long running IP and changes are bound to happen, good and bad. I'm betting too, that in twenty years kids today will look back on these series and think they're some of the best of the SW universe. It'll be a repeating cycle.

[@LotRFanFilm]

I’m really interested in seeing your reaction! I have no clue if you’ll like it or hate it LOL!

[@rileygarraway87]

Did you know wookie Jedi is same actor that plays the wookie Chewbacca

[@maviebaby]

Regarding modern Star Wars, I would say keep an open mind. Once upon a time, the prequels were "modern" Star Wars, and all of those things u loved about them were mercilessly attacked; the look, the feel, the performances, the writing, choreography, etc. Star Wars purest from 99' to 05' hated those movies and largely wanted them decanonized and forgotten. There is room for all of us in Star Wars; OG era, prequel era, and disney era fans.

[@Blessed_Souls]

I get the critiques, but I was happy with the gold Jedi robes. They very closely matched the High Republic Era Jedi outfits IMO. Hesitant with this show, but I don't dislike it so far. Excited to see how it goes.

[@skilledsummoner4274]

Was there any update on what you thought about the bad batch finale?

[@TTRPGSarvis]

I like how a worse written show would linger on things that this show just rolls through. The moment where Osha gets confronted for the second master's death had me rolling my eyes thinking that they were all going to be suspicious of her for the rest of the season, but they weren't. It was resolved in seconds. It's nice to have that subversion. I'm sure there's exceptions, but people seem to act...reasonably intelligent in this show. They communicate to avoid confusion. It's awesome.

[@YourNeighborhoodItalian]

I caught that too

[@k--music]

Yeah, I just wish they didn't also rush past things that should be central to the emotional conflict of the story. They compared it to frozen, I've seen it compared to Arcane, both of those stories wisely established the characters and the 'why' behind their conflict before doing the whole painful reunion and intrigue. This one skips all the moments that would help us feel invested, so now the central conflict is just a "what's the bad guy's name" mystery, and that's not very interesting

[@darthoblivion2615]

[@surfntrucks]

It's really fascinating to see Prequel fans hate new Disney Star Wars like how the Original Trilogy fans hated the Prequels. Now you know how we feel. To be honest, some of us OG fans saw this coming when Ewoks were introduced. Even as a kid I hated Ewoks but George felt that was what we would like, he was wrong and now Disney is wrong. EA was on the right track with The Old Republic Cinematics but I wanted to see more good guys winning.

[@orangemochacino6420]

I grew up with the prequels and can say there are a fckload of parts in the og trilogy that are outright boring and a snooze fest. The og trilogy is not peak star wars neither was it perfect.

[@surfntrucks]

@@orangemochacino6420 I find none of it boring. Just not a fan of any cute thing George threw in for the kids. Other than that, they are perfect. Unmatched to this day. Only Lord of the Rings takes me to another world like Star Wars. Just great stories. Game of Thrones the early seasons and Lost the TV show does it for me. But back to topic. Content today is too violent and doesn't hit as hard as really good films that pulled you in for a few hours. The experience in the theater is scary to me these days. But if you enjoy the newer Star Wars, enjoy it. Don't let anyone tell you what you should like.Don't let KZbin grifters with agendas ruin your experience.

[@craig0weston20]

[@Balor22]

I believe the Jedi robes during the high republic is more like, the Jedi have class A, class B, and training uniforms. And since is is either 116 or 136 BBY this the end of the High Republic Era. So some changes are goin to occur.

[@88arachno]

It is very easy to get caught up the maelstrom of hate surrounding Disney SW and personally I agree with a great deal of it. However, the High Republic is a really interesting time to explore and the majority of the books are great. I can understand that change isn't easy with the robes and changes in mannerisms but like Andor I wouldn't dismiss it off hand. That said do I think this show is the best the High Republic has to offer.....

[@jayluke8469]

The optimism in me anyways. Lets see what KK and Hedley have in store?

[@Beaumo66]

Episode 1 is my favorite movie ever as well :) so this one is kind of important to me. Can I be honest, I know some of those Interviews didn't show us much promise about the actors knowledge for star wars but from Episode 1-2 it seems Headland has directed those actors to be fitting for a SW series.. She has done pretty damn good so far and its a solid start to what is coming.. I think we've only met an assassin with Mae.. The Apprentice (Abeloth mask) is above her, trying to overthrow the true master! the real sith we've not even seen yet.. From how fast these episodes were, clearly seems a lot is coming our way. Most of the trailer footage has been shown to! all in all I love this show so far and can't wait till this week

I fully agree with you being that I'm an even longer fan I grew up with the OG Star wars movies watching this is definitely too updated to the times now and also no idea what the point is for the show. I'm still going to check out the remaining episodes and try to keep an open mind about it hoping that this new storyline and new characters show something interesting. Plus being a Matrix fan and seeing Carrie-Anne pretty much die almost immediately Super lame for real!

[@JamesPagcoFinelli]

That sucks you don’t like it bro. Guess I’ll be back when Ashoka comes out.

[@k--music]

In terms of 'nothing to be excited about,' I think it was a mistake for them to jump in without letting us get to know the characters. We don't care when they die, we don't care about the sisters. It was compared to frozen and arcane, both of which made us care about the characters before introducing the major conflict. Should have done that here. Instead, we're meant to care about the mysteries "what's the bad guy's name" and "what did the jedi do," none of which are interesting with no context. Overall it Looks and sounds very cool, however the dialogue is too 'real' imo. I won't say anachronistic because it's not set in a period or anything, but it's written as though it could be a police procedural set in new york city and nothing would change except the costumes and the force. Lots of mcu-esque moments, which makes the characters seem more like people playing dress-up than people living in that universe.

[@monitor4208]

Why put a family revenge story in it? I would love to see what the high republic really is about. And then some Sith rising slowly, emerging from the dust of time. Not a revenge story to kill 4 Jedi because of something they had done in the past. It’s early in the show, and perhaps there’s something waiting for us. Something how the Sith survived and how they plan to return. (Ok, we now that in the end they will return somehow…)

[@ThunderBZaper]

“Why don’t I feel anything?” Familiarity? People always get excited with they see a familiar and loved character, but we’re in a timeline with completely new characters, so obviously some people feel nothing at all. I’m all for it tho, I love new characters, and I’m enjoying the show so far.

[@leadahh9741]

They are not Sith. That's how they get around i. Just dark Jedi. Dark Jedi crossed blades with the Jedi before the Phantom Menace in legends as well. Qui gon and Obi Wan fought Qui gon's old apprentice tuned dark Jedi. He wielded a red lightsaber as well.

This was such a dull reaction. I'm surprised you were able to give a review since you talked over most of it.

The desperate nostalgia for the prequels people have whilst talking about poor dialogue and shows being too “modern and political” is laughable. The prequels have some of the clunkiest and most poorly delivered dialogue in any star wars project to the point where they’re infamous for having some awful cringey lines. Star wars has also practically always been modern and political it’s just the mentally stunted man children who claim to be the true fans are too ignorant to understand the movies they praise so much for not being about modern politics were written with messages of the modern politics of their day but they were too young to understand then and too blinded by nostalgia to understand now. Star wars has been ruined by politics but not for the reasons people want to claim it’s been ruined by politics because people want to start culture wars all the time and are making the idea of non-white non-straight people a political thing instead of just being normal and not caring.
