But, is Disney getting THE MESSAGE? 😁 Review bombing or not, the fact that people are making the effort with the only voice they have, is something at least their stock holders should pay attention to. Paying customers. BTW is SW gonna be like that Twilight guy now, where you're under contract...

Yep. And at the moment after hearing some of the lead's self satisfied remarks about a certain demographic, I finally got really irritated. Probably won't watch this ever. This actress seemed in a real hurry to become box office poison, fast.:lightnin Because humanity might be a species that is...

Terrence Howard had attitude too, back in the day.

Better performances or at least got better. Characters had charisma. And there was a lot of imagination and care e.g. there's a slow progression to Anakin's fall. The dynamics of Palpatine. Agree with Asta overall this is a blip, for me pretty much like Rings of Power or Willow 2. Onward to...

At the same time co-opting other stories' dynamics. I won't be surprised if a twin has to off another twin e.g. Anakin/Obi. Dathomir witches without the pointy heads. Shading the Jedi e.g. from Ahsoka and all the mechanics:monkey3 Why couldn't they have had HAPPY twins, living a middle class...

For me it's not "franchise fatigue" if that means a story set in the SW world. That initially would interest me. And I was curious, mildly, at least about this show. Then over time, between showrunner and actor/actresses comments, I felt negative. The second any show creator starts talking...

Well, you decide to stay away from George Lucas, but instead *bond* with Filoni, and it's no wonder you get a show that feels Filoni-esque redux. Wait until the heroine(s) meets Ahsoka in the World Between Worlds who intones "I too was conflicted. But you are both the light and the dark, so it...

Throw in female mechanic (Ahsoka, Peli, CW sisters, Rose, the incomparable Rey who knows more about the Falcon than Han). Like - even with no training like Anakin would have had; and probably hardscrabble Tatooine, ALL women know sophisticated mechanics. Isn't anyone a baker or a grape stomper...

Yeah, but it depends on how seriously you take a series that clearly, according the showrunner, was "her story" dressed up in SW robes with a healthy dose of Filoni-ism. For me that crosses into self insert wishful thinking fan fiction, e.g. possibly interesting to watch at times, but forgotten...

Sux but all of above; and I really admire this piece but was never in the market for it. I can only afford/squeeze in the top ones on my list and sometimes not even that. :monkey2 These days IMO folks need to be really sure - unless you are pretty comfortable. It's worth having just as a great...

It's so bad I just couldn't. Not when I'm looking and thinking "who the F- is that?"

Actually no, since a lot of is critic and viewer comments. The viewer comments are thoughtful. I haven't trusted any critic comments since Black Panther 1. Although there was a case of a committed cast and director. The more or less "split audience" is probably gonna be accurate. Maybe.

Now the song is stuck in my head...if I ever watch this "she's super freaky, yeeoww.....!" So thanks for that. And I already know the big epi 3 *thing*

The writer sounds giddy, although unaware of all the holes in this article. But I guess the author is blinded by "don’t cast the likes of Barnett (the sexiest Jedi since Ewan McGregor?)":yuck That's kind of the point of Jedi training, Qui-Gon openly saying it's a hard life, Yoda practically...

And in the end, I found much to like about BOBF, besides a badass scene that gives me every excuse to have an ultimate bro pair-up on the shelf. :lol I've even got Obi coming, for reasons besides the fact respect for the man who did what he could with *&^%$ material. Speaking of crying like...
