its almost like eps 9, dark setting with flying floating objects and them hurling at one another with that super force power thing. call me an old head, but i like the more traditional saber duel of eps 5, 6 and even anakin vs dooku. where they dont use too much of those things
The Clown Prince of Crime

The "final" 
fight was cool. I always feel sorry for Vader once he starts whistling and struggling to breath. No matter how many bad things he does, that whistling sounds starts, and I'm like...
ROTJ flashbacks I guess.

I thought the fight was exceptional. I'll admit that the show wavers throughout its entire run, but it also has some great Star Wars moments in it.
I'm not sure how exotic the location needed to be for the duel. It worked for me. The fight choreography was much tighter, and it was fun to see Obi-Wan unleash some of his abilities again. But the real driving force behind it was the history between the two characters, and (especially) their conversation at the end. The audio work in combining Hayden's and JEJ's voices was just icing on the cake.

Vader wheezing, whistling, and struggling to breath makes me think of...
Loved the last episode. The best duels always have emotional stakes to them and this was a great example of that. Though it ended up being very similar to the Ahsoka/Vader fight in Rebels. Would probably have been even better to someone who hasn't seen Rebels.
Owen and Beru were badass.
Wonder if we'll see Reva show up in one of the Mando shows somehow.
If they do make a season 2, it should tie into the Clone Wars somehow so we can get flashbacks to them fighting together and get Ahsoka.
Honestly, a season 2 wouldn't even need Vader.

At this point Disney should redo episodes 4,5, and 6 and just make it a new timeline. Update the story to connect with the prequels and the sequels. I already separate the old movies from the PT and all this other stuff. I enjoy the new stuff but its so different than the OT.

They should add Spock Prime.
For the effects and graphics for sure …but it will suffer in the acting..
The trio can never be duplicated
There will never be a Han Solo like Harrison and when you think OT..you think Han
A new OT will never capture the magic of the original…never
I agree the magic wouldnt be there but it hasnt been there for the PT or the ST or anything else but at least wed get a more cohesive story line and a better final Dath/Obi wan duel

Yeah. Alongside the cheapness and bad directing, the other major issue I had was the story. It just wasn't a story I had any interest in.
Rescuing Leia, the Inquisitors. Don't care.
I understand why they went with PTSD Obi-Wan and his rustiness etc, it just wasn't something I was particularly interested in seeing.
He obviously gets his edge back, his mojo, in this final episode.
We had 5 episodes of bumbling Kenobi
How does that happen? Does he have a moment, a sudden epiphany and suddenly he's competent again?
Always liked the desert wanderer concept of Obi, since he must have been doing SOMETHING all that time. (And am glad I own the SSC figure of Obi and the HT Qui-gon
.) But, IMO it's the degree of Obi's despair I've got issue with. IMO it makes no sense.
Obi was a well trained Jedi, and yeah, would've been pretty strained by having to kill his brother....and now, now, there's the desperate, secret hope in the form of Luke. He HAD to have turned the original "misunderstood prophecy" over in his mind. The prophecy is in effect accurate, tho not the way anyone had believed (except Mace and Yoda, maybe...) So there's this secret, desperate hope (Luke) AND at the end of ROS, he's all happy since Yoda will teach him to commune with Qui-Gon.
So ur telling me Yoda and/or Qui-Gon would let Obi-Wan sink to the utter depths of despair, when force ghosts were all too happy to pop in to chat to Ahsoka, Ezra, Kanaan, Luke, and even Rey? Why? If the Force created Anakin to eventually produce Luke and Leia to achieve balance, wouldn't Yoda and Qui-Gon help out the only Jedi protecting Luke?
And yeah, if Obi was supposed to have some sort of epiphany, what was it? Usually when the hero picks up the sword, achieves magic, etc. it's a MOMENT. But the show just rolled tepidly along. And how do you get "rusty" using the Force anyway; unless the implication was that Obi was so bummed out he had lost faith, in the Force. Or something.
It's like when ROTS winds up, Obi is solemn and a whole lot of bad has happened; but so then he goes off to a cave and just sort of has a mental breakdown
? I didn't picture any of this at all - I thought the show would be about the desert wanderer Obi, sure, but more of a cat and mouse game with him dodging Inquisitors, maybe helping a fleeing Jedi-in-training (since Coruscant wasn't the only temple, according to Rebels) or even checking out some other Jedi temples (that would have been interesting).Enough's been said about Reva; suppose she'll pop up in the Ahsoka show and Ahsoka will show her the NEW GIRLPOWER WAY. Back to back lightsaber scenes like End Game girlpower redux.
Think I got about 10 minutes in the whole series that I really appreciate (the Vader interchange was great). A d@mn shame, this should have been a lot more fun than just - tepid fanfiction.

Safest way is direct to streaming..don’t risk it in theaters
Safety blanket with streaming..hit or miss …repercussions will be less painful because people won’t feel they wasted money if it’s a flop if it’s included in their subs

Oh, someone's already stuffing her into the Ahsoka show - I can already write the script, where the ever-kindly Ahsoka talks about her love for Anakin and how great he was; shows Reva THE GIRLPOWER WAY, and we get a lot of lightsaber twirling....the only question is what color Reva's new lightsaber will be.
I'm betting on purple.
After the finale anyone convinced there was a fight at least before this result
Owen and Buru got skills..
If they ever do a remake of the OT..they should make their death …Aliens intense
