TV Series

[Goat]

First two of the Kenobi series. Acting truly terrible so not sure about persisting with it.

Acting on that Obi-Wan series is somehow worse than Boba Fett. It’s like Red Dwarf levels without the intended humour.

I'm sorry but the Kenobi series is just an absolute trainwreck. Its everything that I've come to hate about Disney's vision for Star Wars. A visual feast with some stunning individual moments but a total disaster from a storytelling perspective with absolutely no respect at all for the previously established work and lore. The acting the dialogue in this might be the worst in anything star wars ever. Its almost parody level bad at times. I wish I that I could say that I'm shocked at how badly they've screwed this up but I'm really not. Not at all. Its entirely consistent with how they've managed the franchise so far.

So glad I didnt start this.

You made the right decision. I wish that I hadn't bothered with it at all now.

How is the CGI, acting and choreography for a Star Wars thing somehow worse in 2022 than it was back in 1999? No idea how it's possible but they've done it.

Just starting the 4th now. I watched some last night before bed; never stared at my half ajar wardrobe so much in my life.

the ending of episode one was horrific, did not expect that at all.

They've taken it up from quirky cute 80's horror Goonies to straight up nightmare fuel.

Tbh, I'm not really sure about that I mean if the series needed that if I'm honest, I'm enjoying it but there does seem to be a lot of storylines.

I'm not a huuuuuge fan of this latest series. 4 storylines at once is way too much. Just thankful the episode length is so long it's not even more crammed in.

ST is lit.

Mucho entertainment, but cant get Kate Bush out my head, at least its replaced Spirit of the blues.

Disney have done to this show what Warner Bros did to the Hobbit movies. They've tried so hard to make it look amazing but instead they've just made a video game. This obsession that some film-makers have with overusing on CGI is going to be terrible for their work.

Personally though I could happily forgive how bad it looks if the acting or the story was worth it but they aren't. They're even worse.

It is really, really bad. I had very low expectations after Boba and it somehow was even worse. Completely ruined the inquisitors and I hate the main bad woman.

Was confused why I kept hearing it on the radio over the weekend, then watched the first few episodes. It's a good tune to be fair, and fit the storyline really well. Need to watch the last 3 episodes over the next couple of days.

Quite enjoyed Obi Wan ep.3.... sorry I'm not cool like.

 

[Nymzee]

Episode 3 was even bloody worse. Plot holes galore and a terrible lightsaber fight. Why’s Obi-Wan being portrayed as almost disabled and a [Poor language removed] after 10 years.
