The Latest Disney Star Wars Catastrophe: Obi-Wan Kenobi 

Reva is so patently evil that the only reason she spared Luke was when she saw the most important person in the galaxy in his place; herself.

I'm so outraged at what they did to Bail. He was one of my favourite side characters. Strong, brave, kind, and one with dignity. The way he talks about always wanting a daughter always made me think he'd truly love her and raise her with care. That they made him such a fool in this show is infuriating.

imagine that this show is 7/10 on IMDB. Man, if people weren't so gullible and downright stupid, disney would have gone bancrupt from hiring all those upvoting bots.

Disney writers never disappoint, these parodies are amazing.

Shows cost three times as much and take four times as long to make as they did 20 years ago with half the length and lower quality to boot. Short high budget shows didn't create a golden age of television, it ended it.

We really need to stop referring to these people as writers.

When all is said and done, Star Wars now currently owned by Disney is no more than fan fiction with a legal copyright. That is it, period. Because of that copyright Disney can employ the original actors to play the parts, utilize John Williams' music fully, and basically defile the entire story, but as for storylines, again, it's fan fiction. The only soul on this world who can add or omit canon is George Lucas, maybe Dave Filoni as he worked very closely with George for a long time. However, Georges' frustration with Disney has pretty much seen him sadly walk away from his own created opus.

Reeva screaming in anger and intimidation makes her seem so silly

Is there ever going to be a competent depiction of the empire or any antagonistic force in general?

Very succinct and helps me feel better about despising DSW. I am just glad I am not the only person who finds this dribble nearly unbearable as a true Star Wars fan

It's always so enjoyable watching Leia toddle hither and tither like an infant while out running and out maneuvering adult pursuers and a Jedi too. May farce be with her.

This needs way more views. I'm so tired of people defending Disney Star Wars. My heart can't take the pain anymore.

42:30 The lightsaber BOUNCED off the armor. Lightsabers now have BLUDGEONING as part of their damage, SWEET!😕

Hey man, I normally don't comment but I love to encourage smaller creators. I loved this, good job.

43:00 NO ONE can tell me that tglass in an underwater fortress can be shattered by BLASTER bolts or BY ANYTHING ELSE!!! Those window panels should have been able to resist blaster bolts without any issue. Also there should have been, maybe A PANELto slide over broken windows to PREVENT flodding? Just a thought.

excellent

28:40 Not to mention if he just took out his lightsaber to begin with he wouldn't have to use an unarmed civilian as a meat shield, not that he had to anyway since it was literally just one stormtrooper out in the open and he was the one that already had cover.

It's just such shame how good this show could've been and they really threw it down the toilet. George Lucas, team up with Peter Jackson and buy back Star Wars!

This was cathartic to watch thank you

Star Wars is not a Comic Book Superhero Franchise. Disney keep trying to make something solid out of this, but to make a successful Star Wars show/Movie takes considerably more work and refinement than slapping together a superhero with whatever you find in the garage. One is a pretty straightforward recipie: Superhero, power/ability + Villan + Stakes + Struggles + eventual defeat of villan = Superhero movie/show Star wars is a space-opera/epic with western themes and tones, in a lived in, imperfect universe where the various characters each contribute to the overall story/opera. The only reason IMO Mando works is because he naturally fits the themes/universe and is an entirely fresh character, and he is no superhero (just like Star Wars, the characters besides Mando contribute to the overall story/epic/opera). Everything else is either milked from characters that already had their time and place, and Disney can't really figure out how to give them their own streamlined story, or something new that does not fit into the universe at all and has not earned their place within it. It is not earth and some magical planet where superhero comes from that you can make up and just plonk inwithout any consideration for how accepting the universe is of it. Star wars is a universe with rules, and if you break those rules, and put something new in there, the breaking of those rules, must be lead to, and followed with cuase, and effect, of such feat and magnitude that the breaking of the rules defines the character in a believably extraordinary way, such that it is a genuine feat. Rather than a given because Disney needs a character that has X, Y, Z superpower. (Space opera). Disney bend and break those rules as if it's the MCU, where rules do not exist. It doesn't work that way. You can't do that and expect the same results. Star Wars is not superficial. You can't just pull something out of your A**, and expect it to be accepted as a given off the bat.

Nice video, mate. Enjoyed that one

really good vid man bug ups

I’m so done with Star Wars. I’m happy sticking to the true Star Wars franchise: George Lucas’s Star Wars.

I love these video along with the rings of power so well done, and because anytime fans are not happy with the product, it’s turned into the fans are toxic, the fans are sexist, the fans are racist blah blah, watch this! This is just so well articulated and explained and laid out in such a way that the studios normal non response can’t be used here. I appreciate the videos! Thank you!

I resigned from Disney Star Wars a long , long, long ......long, long long time ago... When they bought Lucasfilm ..these incompetent corporate buffoons

This is why the mandalorian actually works in my opinion at first it wasn’t much nostalgia bait and by the time it was we were already invested in din and grogu😂

Funny how the one show that no cared about, ANDOR, is the only show that is well written and treat its audience like adult

The grand inquisitor looks like Mr Clean 💀

It took years to come to terms with the death of star wars, now like everyone I love that passed I accept the fact Star Wars is dead and won't see a true Star Wars piece of media again.

We’re gonna have another Jake Lloyd situation with the girl that plays leia because of the writing and directing

That DiaReva actress is painfully to watch.

George RR Martin needs to just passed it on to Brandon Sanderson let him finish it. He did an amazing job with The Wheel of Time

Good analysis. Man I wish I'd found this channel earlier

0:21 wtf Is that head movement

I know it's bad to be mad at actors, but damn, I hate how Leia's actress is running, it looks so stupid!! And don't even let me start on Reeva's character. She's a fine actress, but without proper direction she is just loud and annoying, but somehow omniscient with a shoehorned redemption story, that doesn't work at all.

Why would the other Inquisitors being angry about Reva being promoted matter??? I'm pretty sure that the rule in the Empire is that the 7 foot, armored, laser sword brandishing, magic wielding giant with the murderously bad temper is never wrong. Even with other force users.

Still not over how fucking AWFUL this show was.

44:25 The snowspeeders didnt just crash into the back of the hanger? They couldnt have just STOPPED. How did the snowspeeder have any room to manuever in while NOT BEING SHOT AT??

Disagree on the burn injuries for Obiwan Vs Anakin. Lava is really hot. It may very well be hotter 5 feet from lava than directly in fire from another source.

I don't understand why Disney don't just make more original content set in the Star Wars universe. They clearly want to do their own thing. It can only be malice by constantly degrading every single beloved character (the male ones at least). They must know their target audience by calling it 'Obi Wan' isn't going to respond well. They want kids to watch it, and what connection would they have to characters from the late 70s and early 80s? Just make a totally fresh story set in say the old republic and young people can have their own Star Wars as well.

This shouldve been the script Obi Wan loook after luuke sand people try to attack luuuke but Obi Wan kill sand people and save luuuke Jk but imo I dont think the story should have left tatooine... I liked the vader duel tho

35:35 Now, this is the only one I will argue against. They definitely definitely both should be heavily burned. However, the heat around magma is MUCH higher than flames. Anakin should be straight up dead to be honest. 52:53 I'm not gonna lie, even if I had a blaster on hand, and Vader had his back to me, I wouldn't even try. When you consider how much of a legend he is, and that he can force choke someone who is god knows how far away over a video call, in addition to everything else, there ain't no way son.

I'd hate to think what they would do to Leia if they ever gave her her own show. She'd probably go nuclear (like that chick from lotr) with the force and espouse the highest of virtues and something about global warming... and something about real life politics, etc, etc. Maybe she can use the force to slap every male and male adjacent lifeform in the galaxy.

58:50 to be fair, the idea of surviving a lightsaber stab isn't entirely lore breaking. The way disney is doing it is OfCourse but only Darth Scion was able to do that shit. I'm glad I avoided watching any of disneys garbage fan fiction.

I agreed with damn near everything you said but..really you think Vader couldn’t pull down a ship with the force it’s ether you didn’t read the comics or your just not taking them into account but he most definitely can with ease

Find it hilarious Reva keeps calling obiwan old man when they look the same age lol it’s like the idiots don’t realize this supposed to be when obi is still kinda young not like he was in new hope

Those girl running scenes are so cringe.

Yup

Please can you do a 1hour retrospective for andor please

56:42 why does this dude have the most boring room i think i have ever seen in my life

Yeah I gave up Star Wars years ago. But I’m at a loss for words…

39:40 Im guessing rules of water pressure and frigid water tempratgures isnt in playh here for OBi wan? THere are no water currents pushing him around? He can see well enough in the dim lighting and UNDERWATER to see his way through the murk water? Of course on an alien world, the water is PERFECTLY safe for a human to swim through. Also those breathers have limited oxygen, Im guessing? Oxygen is consumed through effort and him just kicking wading through water unaided withheavy robes is no effort at all? No alien sea life wanted a piece of him? There are no sonar detectors at the base of that base that could detect unusal movement? No auqatic security droids to confront Obi wan? No alert to an unsecured access portal even if underwater? Im a mere civilian and even I can think of issues that SHOULD NOT BE in an imperial top secret base. Also how did obi wan's shop enter the area UNDETECTED? who wrote this?

Disney wars will always be devoid from Life, from Grace and from having a true Soul that is why the filth of Disney will NEVER be true Starwars and that is why they are the DEATH of SW

*insert it's already dead meme*

44:50 Very prestine hanger after just being shot up. No troupeers running to the fighters or any attempts to shoot down the other fighter? Convient. Also Obi wan and leigh weren't hit? Convient to.

wait so the empire knows about luke, well thats gona be wierd, his goal of joining the empire akademie was destroyed at 8 not at 18 or wtf hes supposed to be in new hope 😮

The last fight between Vader and Kenobi was well-choreographed (well, apart from the shaky cam), but it can't make up for six episodes of poor writing. This series was honestly my last hope.

"See who gives a fuck".

This show was it for me after this was over the umbilical cord of love that our hopes that I had for Star Wars was truly dead. Now I barely even keep up with it through videos criticizing it such as this one. I just I'm out I've got better stuff to do with my life and waste on Disney Star Wars nonsense

The show was written by writers that didn't even know Vader was anakin. Written by people who had no idea what or who or why these characters are the way they are or what their motivations are. Their entire reason for doing this was to tell "their story" I can't wait for this wave of inept, untested and untalented creatives to move on. I only hope that one day talent returns. I miss good media.

anything disney that isn’t dave filoni is trash

I saw this show but i will never ever rewatch it it was brutal just tryna get thru it

2:04

so like Holdo manuever ruined star fighting, the new force block ruins lightsaber duels. SW is a dead brand and I"m looking forward to new things put out from Rippaverse and Shad's take on SciFi Fantasy.

My head cannon us that this series is imperial propaganda. The real Obi Wan was depressed but def not this weak

This franchise is just so boring at this point and the fact that their trying their hands at a "connected universe" ala the mcu just makes the future of this franchise feel all the more bleak to me. Not everything needs to be connected especially with a universe with endless places to explore such as star wars!

😂😂

Sounds like you just couldnt be bothered at the end there, lazy

stop referencing that P.O.S fallen order

13:15 - so we're in space, but her accent is straight out of Compton? That's acting! "Dey maht bee." Couldn't make it up. 14:50 - she's not fast even for a short ten year old. She runs like a Teletubby.

zoomers ruin everything

I loved the series

I LOVED the series. Stop whinning...

I'm surprised that your're a star wars fan at all, tbh. 1, if for nothing else, than hate is the literal path to the dark side. 2, This series was absolutely brilliant, and did an amazing job portraying the trauma Obi-Wan went through, and showed character progression from his defeated self living in fear to his more experienced normal self that has grown far more powerful than you can possibly imagine. 3, Did you even watch Obi vs Vader?? 4, Leia wasn't outsmarting Obi-Wan, she more represented the independent calm free thinker that Obi-Wan used to be and helped him to return to that. If you go back to clone wars, this behavior is more present. 5, We finally have the technology that can make huge force powers look amazing and you're gonna nag because it was too much?? Do or do not, there is no try; Size matters not. Obi-wan was probably the most powerful Jedi in the universe at this point, or at least one of the top. He was already a master with a lightsaber, renown for his style, and he was always strong with the force (became the 3rd force ghost). Just the same with Vader. He was the most powerful force user aside from Sidious, and he had so much anger and hate, I wasn't shocked whatsoever when he snatched the ship out of the sky, if anything I was surprised that he didnt do it to the 2nd one. IDK, i just dont like when people have to hate on things instead of just appreciating it for what it was. The story is what it is, its not ours to decide how they go. Just enjoy the ride, how many other franchises can boast this longevity, and have cared so much about both continuity of story and characters. I challenge y'all to start pointing out positives instead

You know what I’m gonna defend the show I really enjoyed it it wasn’t perfect but it was genuine Star Wars.

im just shocked that Leia isn't a deaf black transexual. no doubt that shit is coming, sigh...

Star wars has been dead for years now.
