- Kenobi has turned into The Last Jedi of The Prequels. The show isn't over yet, but the damage is done. Lucasfilm cannot stop VANDELIZING the legacy characters they clearly do not like.

I hope Obi-Wan gets his own spinoff after this Reva and Leia show.
*****Best Comment Award*****
Lmaooo
Leia was so fucking annoying. She is such a horrible character
Obi wan main character in series. Not sure what ppl complaining about. I see obi wan in almost all the scenes.
@@johnsmith-ko8vq yeah you can see r2 d2 in all movies of SW yet is not about that it...
That scene with the woman slapping the storm trooper on his helmet and he falling down, probably stunned... this is embarassing.
also, the scene with the stormtroopers not identifying Obi Wan or Leia when they are sitting right next to them, even when Obi Wan makes the huge mistake of calling Leia by her real name, even if Obi Wan is wearing suspicious clothes…
She should have used the Vulcan neck pinch. It had a similar origin story - Nimoy embarrassed by writing and came up with own method of rendering a bad guy unconscious.
@@Binkley-rj6gf lol Star Trek multiverse
well you clearly dont know she is a trained hand to hand combat
The TABS units that tripped on blades of grass and fell into a coma: You know what? We did good.
"While that is one of the dumbest things I've seen in Disney Star Wars and I've seen a lot of it, I'd say it's not that unusual for a Disney employee to be hiding a 10 year-old under a trench coat."
Nailed it.
Very true Disney allows employees who are mentally registered perverts to work for them under different names. There are dozens of employees working at a Disney under false names and all of them are child molesting perverts.

It's so sad that when people criticize the Reva character, their first defense is 'that's only because she is black you racist'.
What is worse is that it was effective. Plenty of content creators tag the anti-racism part in the end of their opening address. Disney says "the sky is purple" people who consume "the sky IS purple!!"
She's just a bad actor who was given an even shittier role that written and directed poorly
They don’t start with a good story and characters, then find actors to play them. They start with wanting to cast a black woman, a little girl, and other pathetic sjw tropes and then write story around that.
That was their plan from start lmao.
Most people who criticize Reva do it because they’re racist.
Now I know why my Dad watches older movies and tv shows. Happy Father's Day to all the men out there.
Thank you … I have gone back, right back! It feels much,much better !
Im only 31 and basically hate every media from the last 8yrs.
The shift happened quickly for us lol... Culture moving so fast in the wrong direction compared to our parents.
Yes, I'm in my thirties too and I can see the propaganda/conditioning has been ramped up a lot in the last years, making everything suddenly worse; more woke, less authentic, less creative freedom, even more historically inaccurate, etc. My guess is because of the ESG's all the companies have to consider now. They all got quotas to fill and must portray "the message". I guess CRT and the growing anti-whiteism doesn't help either, making blackwashing of characters a recurring thing. I thought that was racist when white people did it, but appearantly OK when it's done the other way around... Makes you wonder why they think this is a good idea and what they hope will come from it, to piss off their majority population, to piss off the fanbases most likely to buy their crap. Oh well, best to stop giving them money if we can.
I had this exact thought about my dad and his old shows too. It finally hit me.
As my wife also pointed out, this really does feel like a student's group project rather than a multi-million dollar company's work.
The last episode looked like fan made film with all those running around and scene transitions
I've been thinking this since Book of Boba Fett. Disney isn't doing that well financially and they're loosing faith in these productions. It's interesting to see.
@@FN2166_ that last episode was some of the best Star Wars we have gotten in a long time
@@FN2166_ i have seen much better fan made films than this entire show.
Imps the relentless, Bucketheads, stormtroopers
@@michelecastellotti9172 Time to "grow up" and stop watching that sh**😀
How does Reva and the Grand Inquisitor both survive being run through with a lightsaber? It's like lightsabers are non-lethal.
Same shit happened in Ahsoka. Fuck Disney.
I really hope that all of the "fans" who bullied Lucas into selling to Disney after the prequels came out are having a moment of reflection right now.
i am
Is there a source for that? Would it be interesting to know what Lucas' motives were besides financial gain. It's almost like selling a child, but then he did refer to Disney as white slavers in one interview.
He wasn't bullied. He sold Lucasfilm to get away from corporate control and go back to making films for art instead of being forced to make films for profit. Stop speculating and putting so much belief into it, unless your plan is to always be a fool saying stupid things....
@@kaym6850 Give in to your anger Kay, join me and together we can rule the comment section.
Definitely sad that Disney got Star Wars and ruined it. To be fair, marvel still had some good movies at that time and people hoped Disney would do the same for Star Wars. Unfortunately they skipped all the good parts and went straight to the shitty part without any of the good that marvel got before going woke.
Reeeva is sooooo traumatized by the killing of Younglings, yet in the first couple episodes ruthlessly hunts, torments, kills, and strings up a Jedi younger than her. Even Anakin didn't hang up dead younglings. It's such a crock of crap.
the reason she acts to serious is to gain vader’s favor and get close enough to him to potentially kill him. that’s literally what is explained in episode 5 but i assume you didn’t watch it.
@@jaya5920 I watched it. And it makes no sense. Bots and Disney employees like you are easy to spot. No actual person could possibly be this stupid
@@jaya5920 that's all fine but very hypocritical of her. All made worse by the fact that she's going to get redeemed later and we're supposed to act like she did nothing wrong.
@@jaya5920 OH THERES AN EXPLANATION! Thats all okay then. Doesnt matter that its terrible and literally makes her even dumber than if we hadn’t known, because atleast its explained!’
You know whats funny? The whole way that reveal is presented is like the writers are smugly expecting the audience to be shocked…its funny because the reality is that to be shocked by it only speaks to how awful their writing is;
Reva’s rapid promotions didnt make ANY sense, its like Disney are focusing way too hard on ‘evil’ in the term ‘Evil Empire’.
“Reva is promoted because she killed her boss. See, its because its an EVIL Empire that knows its EVIL so they reward EVIL behaviour!”
And then at the reveal that Vader knew all along, the writers are like “Well DUH it makes no sense to be promoted after repeatedly disobeying orders. We fooled you!”
No you didn’t fool us, we simply have such little faith in your writing ability that we legitimately expected you to forget your own plothole.
You literally rode the fact that no one has any expectations for your ability as writers.
There are SO many interesting stories you could tell in the Star Wars universe, and Disney manages to tell us exactly none of them. They get what they deserve.
dude... the problem is not with the stories! Take the best story in the world and give it to these incompetent fools and be 'amazed' of how bad they will execute it.
It's like giving the keys of an F1 car to a 17 year old Chav boy racer.
It makes me sad that they are blowing the chance of a lifetime this show could have been for us fans.
This is one of the most interesting periods in Vader's timeline in particular - a period in the Star Wars mythos that all SW fans have wanted to see on the screen and they treat it with such absolute disregard and little respect.
But why give it to such amateurs in the first place? - This is the biggest Sci Fi franchise with the Greatest Movie Villain of all time and its being written like a Saturday morning cartoon show!
Shut up and watch yet another prequel set in the Rogue One era lol
@@Special_Tactics_Force_Unit as long as we dont revisit another desert planet I think I am fine with it.
Nah man we gotta stay in Tatooine, the most interesting place ever!
The reason Disney fails is because they start every project with "what political statements do we want to make" they then go out and develop content around that premise. Once upon a time Disney was a master storyteller, those days are long gone.
Just gonna throw this out there. Last I checked, the snowspeeder schematics, it had one seat for the forward pilot, & one seat for the rear gunner. When did such a ship become a cargo ship, with extra space to hold two additional adults, & a toddler!?
Finn was in sanitation, it rhymes.
They tow a u-haul with the harpoon.
Snowspeeder XL
nerd😂
Can snow speeders hover as choppers? That would have come handy at the battle of hoth.
Wow. If you could disable a Stormtrooper just by slapping him upside the head then everyone else was just trying too hard.
Well to be fair the Ewoks took them out by throwing pebbles on them.
@@easygrin1127 Those weren't pebbles they were throwing. Those were pretty good size rocks. Did you know stoning is a method of capital punishment where a group throws stones at a person until the subject dies from blunt trauma?
@@easygrin1127 Pebbles? Those were big rocks. Ewoks are stronger than they look. A chimpanzee for example is 7 times stronger than a human.
@@jonnyshanon2103 well they were wearing helmets... And yes you are right its far away from being as dumb as just being slapped by a leather glove... 😂...
@Ops Blac lol ok im sorry..... thought i thought they always resembled midget teddy bears...
Reva..."where were u and what were u doing during order 66?"
Kenobi...."nothing much. I was only on a mission and killed the leader of the sep Droid army. Then order 66 happened and I had to defend myself and escape.
After that, I went and dealt with the new sith apprentice and saved the jedi future.
Wtf did u do lol...wait, u didn't exist then"
The scene that really made me laugh is when Obi-Wan's lightsaber bounced off the first guard while saving Leia. It was poorly shot or maybe that guard was wearing Mandalorian beskar armor lol.
ugh yeah
Well they were already ripping off everything else from the Fallen Order videogame. Might as well borrow the lightsaber = nerf bat trope from nearly all Star Wars videogames.
How the series could have gone if the men were as competent in this show as they are in cannon…..
Reva is brutally tortured by the grand inquisitor in episode 1 for insubordination and he discovers reva’s plan because she is weak and feeble minded.
Grand inquisitor brings this knowledge to Vader, Vader uses the force to extract memories from reva that reveals the location of force sensitive children.
Reva is executed by Vader and placed in the fortress inquisitorious along with all the other dead Jedi
One of the locations of force sensitive kids happens to be on tatooine.
The inquisitors are dispatched back to tattooine to investigate, they learn of something called “the path”
Meanwhile, Ben kenobi feels a great disturbance in the force, something is coming that threatens Luke.
Vader himself has arrived on tattooine.
Sensing his former padawan, Ben decides that luring Vader away from tattooine is the best way for him keep Luke safe.
Ben solicits the help of Hondo Onaka to smuggle him to Corellia. A very dangerous choice for kenobi, but also one that could allow him to easily give away his position to Vader and the inquisitors. He also requests many types of high explosives. In exchange, kenobi will help Hondo retrieve precious coaxium.
Kenobi intentionally gives away his position by sabotaging imperial shipping yards. Probe droids pick up images of this Jedi with the blue lightsaber, long hair and beard. During this time, kenobi retrieves coaxium and instructs Hondo on where to wait for him to exfiltrate the area
The images of kenobi are sent to Vader while he and the inquisitors are interrogating persons of interest on tattooine. To this point, they have found evidence for the path but need more to find out where the location of the force sensitive children are
Vader is overcome with anger when he sees kenobi. He immediately drops the investigation and commands his inquisitors to follow him to corellia and eliminate kenobi.
Vader and the inquisitors arrive on corellia, kenobi has taken to hiding in the sewers (where we get a short cameo of a child Han Solo)
Kenobi taps into the force, he reaches out to his padawan in his mind, and Vader answers.
This leads Vader down into the sewers just as kenobi wanted. In the bottom of a sewer shaft, there stands kenobi, with his lightsaber ready.
A flashback ensues quickly of the scene where obiwan and Anikin sparr with each other. After a few seconds, each lightsaber clash makes the scene cut to their last duel that left anikin burnt to a crisp.
Vader lashes out and begins quickly trying to overcome obi-wan, but Ben is calm and collected, easily parrying vaders lightsaber attacks. As the battle drags on, Vader starts using the force to throw objects at obiwan. The second sister attempts to kill obiwan from behind, but she is cut down.
Obiwan uses the force to crush a water pipe that rushes into the sewer, giving him enough cover to escape while Vader flees the sewer himself. Obiwan makes it back to Hondo’s ship who helps him escape.
Because Kenobi led the inquisitors away from tattooine in time, those who were running the path were able to escape and destroy all of the evidence remaining. Kenobi returns to tattooine, having successfully fooled Vader and his inquisitors.
This is just a short fan fic I guess, but I feel like if I had more time and space, whatever j could write would probably be better than what we got. Just sayin
It actually gives some respect to the fact than men can be competent. That's simply not allowed in DIsney anymore.
This sounds a little better but even in your take, Vader would never ever step foot back on Tattoine. George Lucas himself said that. To much pain and loss. Doesn’t make sense for his character to do that.
@@PSUIVERSON didn’t we just get competent men in spiderman no way home? That movie came in 2021. I swear some of y’all just blow this Disney shit way out of proportion. Is it a perfect company, hell no? But what companies are now? Very few.
@@m.israel2209 spiderman is not owned by disney, its Sony's property.
@@FINsoininen You get what I’m saying. Disney is a co producer. Disney brought his story to the MCU.
I just love the fact that obi wan’s one true job is to protect Luke, yet Luke isn’t mentioned but once in the first episode….
Don't you know? The story is really about all of the women. man. Silly us.
Luke is mentioned many.. many...many times throughout the series
Because it’s not politically correct due to the social “patriarchy” so they need to force the girl into the forefront. 🙄
I won't even watch Disney "Product" anymore.
I rely on you guys to rip it to shreds for me.
Thank you for your service, Gary.
I wanted Disney+ at one point.
Hearing about how the Loki series turned out broke me of my interest, alongside the low level mediocrity of the series that preceded it (Wandavision, Falcon/Winter Soldier).
@@davidcatlett4052 I had forgotten that the Loki series ever existed. If I still want good contemporary Marvel content, I'll go read fanfiction, there's some good stuff out there.
What are the viewing figures?
That is true. It gives much more entertainment.
@@I_Don_t_want_a_handle We'll have to wait a couple of weeks for the Nielsen ratings.
Disney was ruling the top 2 spots with Encanto and another movie for a few weeks.
Marvel's Moon Knight was in the top 5 but the last few episodes fell to number 8 and didn't see a post binge boost in ratings from people that prefer to wait until most of the show is released.
Supposedly, a cluster of subscribers dropped Disney+ citing Moon Knight as the reason proclaiming it to be terrible alongside other Disney Marvel shows.
At least Disney is reporting on ratings it seems.
HBOMAX does not unless it's a success.
HBOMAX claimed their sci-fi series Raised By Wolves to be a big ratings success but then, oddly enough, cancelled Raised By Wolves, which sucked for fans because Season 2 ended on a cliffhanger.
The producers are trying to shop it around to other streaming services.
One major problem I had with Obi Wan the series was in the final episode: I felt that there was no sense of peril or threat of death for Obi wan, Vader, Owen, Beru or Luke, because they're all alive at the start of 'A New Hope'. So there was no sense of danger at all. It's like if you watched 'Return of the Jedi' first and then afterwards watched 'Empire Strikes Back'. You'd already know how these characters' arcs end, thus there'd be no sense of danger at all for them.
that's the problem with any prequel
The difference between the inquisitor base break in here and the Death Star escape in ANH is that TARKIN WANTED THE HEROES TO ESCAPE. Leia even picks up on the Stormtroopers aiming badly and allowing them to leave on the Falcon.
This show is a horrible mess.
I have one question. Why didn't anyone get suspicious that kenobi was the only person in uniform with a beard in the entire imperial army?
Or even that the lump under his coat was wearing red boots? LOL...
Yeeeah .... don't think about it too much, just consume the product, sheep!! And if you don't you're a toxic "-ist" (insert preferred phobia prefix). FFS, is there a single friggin' ADULT involved in the creation or production of this steaming pile of crap??!!
Well he was a submariner...in space...in the imperial army
Shaving profile.
Or the only one with a trench coat
I think the most frustrating thing for me and other fans is the pure wasted potential of these shows. Kenobi could have been the greatest Star Wars story ever told. A guilt-ridden, exiled Jedi forced to live the life of a hermit on a final mission to protect a child from evil forces and earn redemption. Holy crap! How do you fck that up, Disney?!
Because Disney hates the original Star wars fans. They're more concerned at twisting and morphing the franchise into their own political activism propaganda.
What could have been:
Taking a cue from Legends and make Tattooine an interesting and dangerous place where Luke and his foster parents need some protection from time to time.
But what the Book of Boba Fett has established has been repeated, there is nothing on Tattooine. The planet was only interesting for many because Jabba the Hutt was there, not because Jabba had any reason to settle there.
The planet is so boring that Kenobi had to go away for an adventure and Luke didn't need any protection.
It would require "Better Call Saul" level writing and patience. Disney does not have it, they would prefer to pander to 6 years olds who don't even care about Star Wars, while getting upset that 35 yr old Millennials call them out on their bullshit hack writing.
Blah blah blah
imagine thinking that disney star wars could be anything but a failure, no potential is found here
Omg thank you!! I thought I was the only one that noticed the slap across the face of the stormtrooper!! How bad was that!!! Hahah
The character of Reva is everything these writers have to offer morally. She represents, indeed. She represents all the problems we are having with today's scripts.
What’s that?
The fact that she’s black?
@@Dragonage2ftw Geezus dude, NO! It's not Moses race nor her acting. She does fine work with what she has to work with (script). The problem with Reva is the writing, it sucks terribly, just like all the writing. Disney has truly screwed this up. Lucas made a huge mistake selling to Disney. The animated series, Mando, Solo and Rogue One were the only Star Wars films they got right. The Reva character has much potential but I don't expect it to thrive. Because of her race? No for God's sake. It's because Disney fucks up everything that is Star Wars.
@@greezythumb How is she written poorly tho?
@@Dragonage2ftw No
What could have been:
- Kenobi interacting with Luke and subtly teaching him some things regarding the Force
- Kenobi discovering the hive of scum and villany that are the spaceports (Mos Eisley, Mos Espa, etc.)
- Cameo by Han Solo and Chewbacca
- A Vader B plot tied to Rebels and Resistance where he hunts stray Jedi that survived Order 66
- Vader and Tarkin having conflicts of interest
- Vader keeping the inquisitors on a short leash while subjugating the rebellion (that thing Organa and Mon Mothma were forming in Episode 3).
Just throwing out some ideas, but I'm not a professional "writer" like a Disney employee.
I've read the Kenobi Novel, I've read The Rise of Darth Vader Novel. A mix of those 2 stories mirroring each other... would've been a timeless classic. Instead we got crap.
Yeah Kenobi could be selfcontained story like Soprano. But who we know when u need to spread "the messsage."..
You could also do bits of Luke learning/ growing up with uncle Owen and why to be wary of sand people(killed his grandmother)etc. I haven't watched the show but this could be interesting.
This sounds terribly boring
Someone get this man a job for the love of what hasn't been destroyed by disney in starwars
It’s clear there are no Star Wars historians on this project. It’s also clear there is a major effort to make Reva happen to the point of making her a Mary Sue. She can survive disappointing Vader multiple times, take a saber to the gut- the same weapon that tissue papered blast doors, and has to foresight to plant a tracer on a toy because she knew Leia would escape.
There is the so called story group, but they just don't seem to serve an actual purpose these days and I bet when KK is out evenly, they'll be out along with her
It's clear they don't even care.
Mando is awesome obi is awesome
Boba is awesome
she's definitely going to die, also she survived because of the cybernetic implants. Vader purposely stabbed her in the same place she survived in before. Obi-Wan hasn't lifted a saber in 10 years and Vader has a suit that gives him basically super strength. Surviving doesn't make a Mary sue, defeating easily does.
Edit: Goddammit Disney i tried to defend you, wrote this before i knew reva was getting a series
There is no such thing as a star wars historian. Historians study history. This is FICTION!! FICTION YOU IDIOTS! FICTION!
Yeah ,Disney did humiliate some of the most iconic characters in the cinema history-like Luke,obi wan and Vader.....but in reality is the movie goers who did it.....why on earth any one should spend money to watch SW after ep.3?!?
It was almost comical at times and completely ridiculous writing, how this crap got past quality control I'll never know, it just shows they don't give a toss about the quality of the content they are putting out. Such a shame for the fans who have been waiting a long time for this.
They have tore George's starwars to peices with this message crap and it's ruined the storytelling.
RIP STARWARS
There is no quality control in disney, they’re too bigoted thinking all they vomit is the best…
Side note: like it how all the storm troopers drown once they are in contact with water immediately! These stormtroopers that are one hit are from the LEGO star wars games or?
Lucas himself did more to damage Star Wars than Disney ever could with the special editions and the prequels
@@reek4062 No he didn't. Pay attention to what Kathleen Kennedy has done.
The most tragic part of Disney Star Wars is that the basic premise of everything they've come out with has the potential to be cool. The idea of characters like Rey or Reva COULD have been great. But Disney just takes whatever premise they're working with and does every single thing wrong with it that they possibly can. And then of course they blame us for recognizing a dumpster fire when we see one.
Exactly
Boba Fett was another great premise. Ex-bounty hunter now running his own galactic crime ring? That could've been so fucking cool but no, they water it down so much to the point that the show was boring and served more as a teaser for the next Mandalorian season than anything else.
They then proceed to hide behind the I'm pretty sure they faked it, racism
@@MrFredstt they could have just made Boba Fett as silent and efficient as Mando and it would still have worked so much better
I begin to wonder if woke creators are just looking to write revenge/humiliation fantasies against whitey, or if they are genuinely without talent.
I was born in 1970. I saw the OT at the cinema. During my formative years I was obsessed. If you told my 12-year old self that they would be programmes about boba Fett,the mandalorian, Kenobi and I wouldn't be watching. I wouldn't believe you, but here we are.
When G. Lucas sold out to Disney it went spinning into the crapper and morphed into Star WOKE.
The T. Zahn books are CANON at least to me
I love what you’re doing here. Exposing Disney is a duty we should all take seriously.
5:27 Ive watched so many reviews on this and for some reason people keep overlooking 2 things:
>How come Snow Speeders can hover now? If they could hover then they wouldnt need the grapple hooks for the AT-ATs
>How the hell did Obi-Wan, Tala, and Leia all fit in one seat of a two seater Snow Speeder? Wouldnt it have made more sense to have one of them sit in Wade's Snow Speeder-OH THATS RIGHT , Wade was necessary fodder for 2 second sad feels.
"They hover now?!" "They hover now!"
Im sorry what?? That is like me saying two adults and a child could not fit in a two seater car.
As Drinker says "Characters are only as smart as the person writing them!"
It's refreshing to see Disney incorporating Moe, Larry and Curly into the lore.

I prefer Shemp.
Wub wub wub wub wub
3 Stooges far more intelligent than this shiz. KK destroyed the original trilogy and now she’s doing it to the prequels.
Really enjoyed the unrelated side series spliced into Kenobi. The way Reva stomps around with angry oppressed face…enthralling.
So inclusive. Amazing
Stunning AND brave!
Ewan McGregor is a good actor giving it his all in this role, and seems to genuinely care about the franchise. It's a shame the writers and producers don't.
He's a producer on this show

@@fastbike6764 Oh, it's entirely possible, but Ewan SEEMS to genuinely care. The others toe the party line and spew duckspeak. Ewan doesn't.
At this point Disney has made lightsabers lame. We have 3 instances in the show where someone gets stabbed by a light beam that should liquify your organs and yet get back up like it's fine. Why did Qui-Gon die again? At this point I am expecting Dooku to just pop back up with a small scar on his neck.
Because its been shown many times that dark side users if strong enough can live on even with missing limbs. Maul did it, Vader did it, Darth Sion from kotor 2 did it. The problem is I don't believe for a second reva could do the same.
@@joshwhite557 Do the same twice.
maul was not human, and also motivated by rage and the dark side to survive. anakin was the most powerful force user ever. and used the dark side. reva is a human who isn't that strong in the force.
@@mannos8970 the Grand Inquisitor isnt human either and Vaders logical choice was to slice off her head Douku style. But nope.

Disney needs to stop with the "Storm-troopers are useless" trope - it was funny for a while in Mandalorian, but I'm over it. The Empire is NOT a joke, and storm troopers are well trained and well armored - they should not be treated like cartoon characters.
Yes. The hand of thrawn shows just how badass stormtroopers are, tanking multiple blaster hits and being elite killers.
A relic of a bygone era…
Stormtroopers have always been useless bro. Go watch the original trilogy
@@jacksonboyd Not in an intentionally comedic sense, they were always taken seriously as a threat - they weren't effective due to plot armor.
@@Lakrimoz I still think they are taken seriously. One of the most tense moments in the show is when Kenobi is sitting opposite the storm troopers on that mining planet.
@@jacksonboyd Nope. In ANH, the troopers are ordered to let the main characters escape.
And in ESB, the main characters have a big dose of plot armor, but the stromtroopers are still very effective against non-main characters.
It's only the battle against the Ewoks in EotJ that made the troopers look like fools.
Just want to put my 2 cents in. Played football for a lot of years as a lineman. When Tala smacks the stormtrooper on the side of the helmet that’s would have been plenty enough to get the upper hand. That’s an illegal move in football for a reason, when that helmet gets smacked the feeling and sound are amplified and it’s absolutely enough to take you off guard even if only for a half second or so. It’s a decently smart move actually!
The scene where reva deflects the lasers coming from wade’s fighter is absolutely hilarious. The way she deflects the lasers makes it look like she’s a 10 year old playing a game on the wii
The only way I can explain this to people is that: 1. The scripts are written in an afternoon and never edited. 2. They filmed everything in one take.
Yep, I was convinced before, but now i have proof that those writers are cats trapped in a box with an keyboard. They throw some snacks in the box to spice the plot. That's how the script was written.
And the filming crew are homeless meth addicts with iphone
Add modafinal , adderall ,woke beliefs, and pot into the writing rooms and it explains a lot.
@@Kiyoone cats trapped in a box 😂😂 i gotta save that.
Reva's story would be pretty good if it ended in episode 5 with her dead. It would be a cautionary tale about revenge not being in line with the light side of the force.
Of course, Reva's actually going to be a good guy by season's end, possibly saving all the remaining Jedi, and Luke himself. And she probably put her consciousness into Luke, which is the only reason he saved Vader and killed the Emperor. Or some shit.
I’m just waiting for the moment where something really cool Obiwan did in Episode 4 ends up being something he copied or got inspired to do from Reva
I commented in another video on the subject that a new hope actually has reva in the background doing all the stuff we thought Ben and Luke did. You know. Save Leia. Beat the empire. And shit.
@@nunchuckfilms Did she have a crystal ball and flying monkeys too? 🤔
I hope she beats Vader. Just to complete the Demise. Fuk Disney

“Where were you??!!” Uhhhh killing Gen Grievous??!
Exactly! Doing he’s mission! Which at the time it was said once general grievous is killed it would end the clone wars! Lol 😂
What's the point of sending Leia to a major political figure if she isn't protected from the Empire with his political influence.

I hate this show but that's why Reva got those bandits to kidnap Leia and didn't do it directly so to give the Empire plausible deniabilty from it. Only later when they capture Leia with Kenobi, it's because they can accuse Bail of being a traitor to the Empire. Why they don't go arrest Bail is a mystery, especially after this last episode. 😂
@@thewanderer7060 damn since kenobi takes place in the begining of the empire shouldn't most of the troopers be voiced by dee bradley baker
@@lazarpetrovic1671 Nah, he's the Clones (in Animated, Tem/Boba/Jango is their voice in films and in this show I think, if the Clones speak, I can't remember, im tryna forget the show 😂 But also, I believe Dee Bradley Clones are phased out of service by a year or two after Revenge, this is 10 Years later so yeah, just normal stormtroopers!
As fans we should never blame the actors or actresses who play horrible characters but shift the blame to the writers who made them so.
Contrary to what Disney and their shills will tell you, only a handful of idiots actually do blame the actors.
The actors shouldn’t sign contracts that compell them to play shitty characters.
Peopl never talked shit personal about actors, its chars that are the problem
@@josipmarasovic7084 I don't know about that, a lot of what ppl have been saying have been aimed at the actors. Yea you can say "they're bad actors' but sometimes ppl get carried away imo.
Totally agree. I just absolutely hate what Disney has done with George's creation. Badly written scripts with a piss poor plot. Although nothing still beats the collosal shit show that was the last trilogy.
The EFAP guys rightfully pointed out that in the Disney Star Wars shows, Tatooine, that planet that’s the furthest from the bright center of the universe by Luke’s estimation has become this all important hub, while in the one show that SHOULD take place on Tatooine primarily, Obi Wan Can Blow Me, they immediately take off to other locations. It’s like doing a Lord Of The Rings Show, but making The Shire even more important than Gondor, Rivendell, Mordor, and Rohan combined.
Everything's dumb, everything's stupid, everything sucks. What a joyful channel.

@@luispolanco5966 I can't see anything positive in this channel...only crying,depression,hatred and clickbait.
You nailed it pretty much on all points. This is the Reeva show mostly. Obi is a side character. The incompetence of everyone in the show is absurd. Also, as you noted, random kid in bed who looks nothing like Luke. It's also like this show was made by people that don't like Star Wars and want to remake it with their vision while Mando and Boba Fett like they were written by Star Wares fans for Star Wars. This has Last Jedi vibes and Disney/Kathleen Kennedy touches al over it.

most of you are too young to remember, but there was a time when screenwriters had talent, some were even published authors. Creative minds that cared about stories, plots, character development. Nowadays all we get is formula scripts written by people who graduated from script production university, who don't understand the material and all they want to do is leave their mark., get some recognition and get hired to destroy the next popular franchise
But we keep watching and they keep producing the same rinse and repeat crap. They're awful for making the shit, but we're just as bad for consuming it.

Reva is neither a compelling villain or an interesting anti-hero. If they would have committed to making her plainly evil maybe it could have worked, but honestly the actor just isn't very good.
No way Disney is going the make a Black woman really evil
I think it leans to heavily into the platform message. Where the women are self taught, self trained. Rey, shang chi's sister and now Reva.
The Reva character and actress performance were poorly executed. This probably won't have worked in any incarnation.
Thats what happens when you hire to meet a quota rather than merit.
But she's black. Soooooooo yeah. ☑️Black and ☑️female.
You didn't want someone hired based on ability and merit, did you? How silly.

It's unbelievable how bad this series has been. My 11 yo was so happy to see Reeeeeeva get stabbed only to get crushed moments later by seeing it lived. When you have kids that age pointing out the absurdity and nonsense without being prompted you know you've failed spectacularly at your job.
Reva originally was supposed to die in that scene but Kennedy changed it.
There are also deleted flashback scenes of Anakin and Obi-Wan that she cut.
Also Darth Maul originally was going to be in this.
Also Kathleen fired the original writer because she thought the script was too dark.
Also they might rerelease this in the Fall with added deleted scenes, de-aged Anakin, re-edited shots to look more cinematic and not budget tv look
Revas a good character you just dont like female minorities or what? Passing that down to your kids are ya?
This series is great. You're just upset your fan theories weren't fulfilled
ps: what school does your child go to?
@@fastbike6764 Removing Darth Maul was a wise decision
@@futurefox635 right? And That is what I call "failing spectacularly at your job."
The one single thing that SHOULD have happened in the Interrogation scene is that Rita had Leah's little droid and should have FORCE CRUSHED it in her hands. That would have made all those little girls out there in the audience cringe in grief over that little 'so cute droid' they clearly would have loved. It is only a droid, and would have added so much emotional weight to the scene.
okay
That’s what we would expect but in actuality all we can expect now is subversive bs.

I feel bad for Hayden and Ewan. They gave it there all in this performance and did a very good job. But good acting and performance does not fix bad writing.
Yeah that’s why I don’t like the prequels
They know the sort of place Hollyweird/pedowood is, with series like star wars leading the pack in the ruination of beloved fantasy universes.
They signed on for the $ knowing full well that the show really should have been called " Reva and friends ".
I feel bad for Hayden.. Ewan likely loves all of this.
@@plasmawarper5837 your the reason why people can’t get into Star Wars
I don’t feel sorry for them. They could have said no.
You know that slap boxing is actually how soldiers are trained to fight in hand to hand with opponents that are wearing helmets right? That's authentic no matter how stupid you think it looks.
What has Disney done. All the golden opportunities to explore. And they give us this shit?
With the terrible writing so far, I’m afraid that Reva will probably save Luke in the last episode. And so it’s because of her that Luke remains safe, not Obi Wan. She’s the ‘real heroe’.
Ohh fuuckk

Just get ready. They’ll retcon most of Star Wars if they can. Just give them time.

Jesus those two stormtroopers might as well be made out of cardboard given how passive and easily they went down. The woman actually would have hurt her hand hitting the helmet like that.
Wait---that wasn't fanfic parody? That was supposed to be serious??
Ive seen a cosplay stormie go down in a similar manner but thats cosplay. Those are supposed to be fitted armour and actual soldiers. They only fell like that because a woman hit them and in Disney canon no woman fails, ever, these days.
@@johnstrawb3521 Yes. Just like Obi wan hiding Leia in the trench coat. It would be fine if this was a goofy Star Wars parody episode, but this is actually serious.
@@cyberleaderandy1 take it from a member of the 501st Legion even hitting a cosplay stormtrooper helmet with bare hands stings. It's usually molded ABS plastic, tough stuff.
Storm trooper armor actually amplifies the damage. The EMOTIONAL ONE of looking stupid.
Okay, that (Dave Chappelle/Rick James)"SLAP!" part almost killed me. I can't believe the writers thought that act made any sense on Stormtrooper armor. Meanwhile, Jyn Erso's defense/attack moves (from Rogue One) made perfect sense.
Yeah, because she was using a baton. How on Earth can a slap do anything to armor except make your hand sting?
But it was a wamen slap... a black wamen slap.

@@maxxor-overworldhero6730 and you could see that she could break the armor. rogue one is the only good star wars movie that Disney has produced
I have friends that are in denial about Disney Star Wars but I'm not and this has been a struggle to get through.
As hard as they try to “kill the past” we the fans have to keep the real Star Wars alive.
Love that Princess Leia is basically a little Brazilian girl, you know, because Carrie Fisher was Brazilian
How do you think she got exposed to Coke at such a young age
Even though Obi-Wan is my favorite character, I am so glad I chose not to watch this. Now I don't have to try to forget it as I deny it being canon.
Why is it they could CGI a sixty-something Mark Hamill to look late 20s, but they couldn't make a forty-something Haydn look twenty? Haydn looks good for his age, but he doesn't look close to 20.
I expected this to be activism, but I didn't expect it to be so bad from a creative perspective (writing, directing, acting, story, etc.). It's almost as if Disney has hired people based on something other than merit and experience, and they don't actually know how to do their jobs at the required level. Oh wait, that is what happened.
Yeah, this was the ONLY thing that I was interested from Disney Star Wars but the minute I heard the spoilers I was like, “FUCK THAT. I’m not giving my time to that nonsense.”
And it was way worst than I ever imagined.
They prob hired based on color of people skin
I still am disappointed not one single episode of Star Wars was called "The Duel of the Fates". They had it planned too. But yeah when I saw that slap to the stormtrooper...
Don’t jump yet, this last episode Obi vs Darth was good…
why?
“More contradictions than the Amber Heard defence” 😂🤣
Yeah, that was good
I knew Kenobi was going to be bad, but I really didn't expect it to be this bad, it really is like TLJ all over again. That laughable slap that somehow knocked down a stormtrooper and that ridiculous trench coat scene just show how little they actually care about making somethin good. The way the shows are failing and the stock is tanking is some long overdue karma for Disney, but this is what happen when you focus on politics and preaching instead of entertainment.
Their purpose is desecration, not creation.
I honestly think that they are putting out mediocre shows on purpose. Basically anchoring expectations so low that anything they release in the future that is remotely competent is going to be seen as a big win.
@@alfonsillo18 Except that there won't be much interest left at that time...
Yep. Does anyone really believe Bob Chapek is going to fix things? Not for a second!
You are overreacting its nowhere near as bad as TLJ.
Why did D+ get a 5-year-old to play a 10-year-old?
I felt like they purposely made young Luke as dull as possible to make Leia that much better than him.
Don't forget that Darth Vader can feel the presence of others from a very very large distance away (even force choke from a long distance). But feeling the presence of others on a second ship... not on Disney's logical writers mind!
Nor on the OT's logical mind. You should discredit that trilogy too. So many plotholes.
I thought about this, my idea was that he let his emotions, and frustration with obiwan lead him to missing that critical detail that there was another ship
@@briana8088 when does that happen in the OT?
@@briana8088 The one that actually matters. The one that's actually good
Not to say Darth Vader is a sith lord that can't properly kill a force sensible inquisitor lackey, coherence and logic in this franchise flew out of the window a long time ago, got replaced by laziness and bad excuses. The fact that young Leia even appears and is the main focus of this show it's comedic the least.
Leia under the coat was just insulting
PedoDisney and it's employees/politics...?
Tbh I didn't find myself hating it as much as I thought I would. It's kind of half-and-half - half spiteful SW-hating garbage, and half mildly entertaining SW wallpaper. With the tv stuff, they seem to have learned the trick of making the things _look_ like SW to the extent that when it's on you do feel like there's something vaguely Star-Warsey happening somewhere in the room. And most of the acting in this is quite good. But the writing is still where it all falls to pieces - modern SW hates SW, hates its fans, hates the heroes, hates White men, etc. None of it's worth paying a cent for.
My question to the writers is how do they justify themselves making Vader so ridiculously over the top powerful in this and yet oh so incompetently incapable of achieving thing one in any endeavor he's set his sights on? Oh and also that force tango with dance partner Reva looked like a crap audition tape to Dancing with the Stars.
It’s so sad to see qui-gon jinns character end from a stab to the stomach in episode one, but then see other character survive? How? it always seems like in Disney Star Wars is evil never ends, but good does…
Right… maul, inquisitor, palpatine… probably others
The impression I got from the original film Star Wars (the one without a subtitle) is that Leia never met Obi-Wan but that she heard about him from her father and that both Obi-Wan and Luke were hidden on a planet that nobody in the Empire cared about, with only Vader himself knowing about its significance (because his relatives Beru and Owen living there. So "Kenobi" travels in Prequel territory in so far as it messes up the back story even more.
She never met him, she was in search of his character, but she never had the connection that they portrayed on the show. It's very clear from the first movie and from decades of lore added later.
@@rpgadventurer32 Yep. That’s primarily why this show sucks so bad. The other major problem is the original film clearly indicates that Obi-Wan and Vader never crossed paths again from the time they fought on Mustafar to the final fight on the Death Star.
@@wesrm1 Now wait for Disney to go back and change the original movies to cover up their plot holes (and create more plot holes in the process).
I really don't want to argue, I am genuinely curious, why did you get the impression that they never met, Leia and Obi-Wan?
I first saw the movie dubbed in Spanish so something might have gotten lost in translation, but to me, it sounded as if they had met and there was trust and that was why she was reaching out to the only person she thought could deliver.
But again, it might have been a mistake, is it explicitly said somewhere thought the films?
I just never thought of it, I assumed they knew each other enough for there to be trust.
@@wesrm1 True, except that they also never fought on Mustafar.
After watching the last episode with my 10 year old daughter, she sighed and asked if we could watch another Rebels episode. (She's a huge SW fan, but we have just started Rebels together).
It really is a shame that Disney has taken one of, if not the biggest franchise ever and completely run it into the ground. If I was George Lucas I wouldn't have sold to Disney. I wish he would have at least held onto creative control. These writers Disney is using are absolute garbage. They don't understand the Star Wars Universe and how things are supposed to work.
I suspected from the start that anything "evil" Reva did in the show, should just have been done by Vader, and anything "good" she did could have been done by Obiwan...
No reason for the character to exist whatsoever other than to put the visual of a black female head on top of Vader's body.
Really? Without that, we wouldn’t have gotten Darth Vader vs Reva, arguably the only good part of the show: Darth Vader doing cool shit.
I don't see what's so bad about the character Reva..... It was a solid intermixing between Obi-wan and Vader. A grayness to the black/white of good/evil. And a depiction to show truly how lost and evil Vader has become. To the point he makes Reva and the grand inquisitor look harmless in comparison. Obi-Wan didn't fear Reva even though she was against him. But Obi-Wan was terrified of Vader. You people are insufferable, nothing is good enough for you lmfao. Shit in legends there are like 4 different grand inquisitors and 20+ inquisitors. But Disney makes a few and you all lose your minds because one is black. LOL
@@TheLarknessMonster Why does the character exist then? I don't know what "legends" is, but I assume it sucks.
@@TheLarknessMonster Disney can make all the "inquisitors" they want, they just can't insert them into the actual parts of the canon that matter, the original trilogy and the life on Anakin Skywalker, I don't give a shit what they look like.

At this point, IMHO Disney is no longer canon for any Lucasfilm property. The last SW film property created was Episode III. Rogue One was great, but I count it as fan fiction since it’s associated with Disney.
Obi and Vader never should have seen each other in this
I have a friend who was sooo excited for the Kenobi series. He is a big Star Wars fan and a generally positive person, and was sure it would be as good or better than the Mandalorian. But he has had a very difficult time defending this series to me so far. In fact, after each episode, he just gets more and more depressed. He is young, in his early twenties, so I don't blame him for not seeing this coming. Much to learn about corporate greed, he still has.
Its not corporate greed, its corporate ignorance and hubris.
Hard to blame him when there's occasional hits like Rogue One and Mandalorian, though even then, Disney still tried to meddle with them.

Here I was thinking that Luke and Leia were supposed to be hidden. Imagine, if you will, Kenobi plunging around the galaxy trying to hide or save the surviving Jedi, Padawan, and younglings without alerting Vader to his presence then abruptly needing to race back to Tatooine to rescue Luke from the Hutts, Tuscan raiders, or random thugs. Then imagine that the stress of all of this accelerated his aging.accounting for his appearance in A New Hope.
It could have been a show about hide and chase. as obi-wan and vader are kinda force linked (they sense each other between long distances). Everytime that bigass star destroyer would jump into the system (finally with actual imperial march music!) and they have to run again and again. Until obi-wan realises it is him who endangers the children and he need's to force meditate to stay out of sight (a huge strain on his body).
I should be groaning at the fact that Reva taught herself Force powers and how to correctly use them.....but why the hell should I complain about Riva training herself, when Rey Mary Sue Palpatine Skywalker didn't even train at all and yet became the most awesomest, most bestest Force sensitive ever?
No woman in Disney can be taught anything now. They teach themselves because the power of v supercedes everything and definitely need no training and no man.
Oh right just like Grand Inquistor "broke canon" but then they used his supposed "death" as a shocking reveal? What happened to people can't even wait for future episodes to make all these crazy claims, also Reva is being trained RIGHT NOW by GI and Vader, do you think they just injured her and flew away to be mean? No this is how Sith train students by hardcore punishments.
I saw the twist about her being a former Padawan coming because she’s a fncking Inquisitor! They’re ALL former Padawans! What I didn’t see coming was her plan to fight Vader; because it’s actually retarded.
