I've held off from saying anything because I got one of those Mudhorn eggs all over my face in the Boba thread after predicting that everyone would like it by the end after the first couple of episodes. I was half right there, we all had a lot to laugh about by the end!
This show is so frustrating. I feel that there is the bones of a very entertaining movie in here (you know the one that we were promised) but that script has been stretched so thinly to cover 6 episodes.
I imagine the conversation went something like this, "Oh boy we need some filler to create an episode 4, I know let's have Leia be captured again! "I'm a genius, and it rhymes with the movies that George made, Leia was captured like 3 times in those!" Hmm, we need to create some breaks in the flow of the story between episodes. Um ok, let's have Vader be stopped by fire like on that fire planet in the old movies. Yes that will deter him, wouldn't want to get burned again (chuckles). Also also let's have Obi-wan keep just getting away like at the end of every episode even if it makes no sense, we can counter that by having either Vader watch him go all disappointed and pondering (like he all the time in the OT when the rebels escaped because subordinates failed him) or Reeva yelling at him "You can't escape him Obi-Wan!". Next episode we will just launch straight in and won't follow up on any of the many plausible reasons shown in all the other source material why our antagonist didn't just follow them like straight away."
Man, I like a lot of the Vader stuff and the flashbacks and PTSD stuff is interesting, I want that explored more. I like the idea that Anakin is always overthinking how to beat Kenobi. He should be questioning his previous impulsiveness and arrogance that saw him defeated. I want to see Vader full of kinetic energy wanting to just storm in there and take out Kenobi but fearful that his old master has another trick up his sleeve that he hasn't considered yet.
Young Leia is a really good, they should just minimise her running as she is not an athlete bless her.
Others have commented on this already but the sets look small and very TV (old Star Trek). George's cinematography always made everything look grand and fitting of a space opera even if he was shooting on green screen or using a small set. I was fooled into thinking it was a real world when George was in charge but not so here.
Reva is fundamentally annoying. I don't get her game plan. When does she expect to kill Vader, she has had audiences alone with him already. What makes this time better than the rest. She would have been better to hand Kenobi over and then strike at Vader whilst he was actually distracted.
I don't need to see Anakin use the youngling slayer 3000 on actual younglings Disney! Just show us Anakin wreaking havoc in the temple with the 501st against actual master and knights not younglings!
