Obi-Wan Kenobi (Page 2 of 3)

Strange.. i like this, star wars will always be interesting to me.
With the mandalorian i already expected something well 'disney-like'.
The coming back of an original character is long overdue and rewarding.
but i get the criticism, wouldve liked it much more if it was an adult-genre and then i wouldve been considering the choices and acting much more...

Yeah, made no sense!

At least the rest of the episode was good.

Hopefully, the last episode wasn't a sign of things to come, the glaring plot holes were ridiculous.

I feel your POV, however considering that the Powers That Be over at DisneySW seem to be attempting to stick with the Ep IV meeting of Luke & Obi as probably the first of any significant time I doubt we'll see Obi doing much developing of that relationship with regards to his next 10 yrs... as such I have a feeling a considerable amount of time will be spent on Leia and Obi possibly on this Lone Wolf & Cub style adventure, possibly (as the seasons progress) on further adventures

Which, as I said, while I can see your point... for me, my disbelief has been suspended more for this Baby Leia than, even this many years on, I can for Baby Ani in Ep I. And it's okay, I think, for not every performance to work for everyone watching, that being as it is the reality we are forced to reckon with is this Disney+ series may be all we'll have covering this time for Obi and considering that at least this isn't Ewok Adventure level of Star Wars young adult stories, I can roll with it.

Also keep in mind I read that terrible Kenobi novel and I can tell you right now, it could be sooooo much worse

I'm loving this, 104 was great!  I was hoping Obi-wan would open up....

How dare you, Indira Varma was great in Rome, Luther, and Game of Thrones, lolz. I'll give you this, I didn't know how over exposed she is on TV, she's in absolutely everything....that I don't watch, lolz.  Really good agent, just hard working, nepotism?  I dunno.  I like Ewan McGregor too, he's always been so solid on screen, but I haven't seen him in anything since Christopher Robin and Long Way Up.

@ All of you people annoyed at plot holes
It's a Star Wars TV show!  Need I say more?  Like honestly.  You want plot holes and contrivance, just go back and watch the first Star Wars movie, A New Hope.  If you compare this, to that, it's pretty much the same.  My encouragement is to turn your brains off, crack a beer, and relax about it, this isn't Succession, lolz.

Ya, who knows, maybe fassy just can't stand her face, or maybe it's because Indira's Swiss (those bastards), lolz, I dunno what it is specifically, but she's great as Tala in Obi-wan to me, as well as everything else.

...I can't believe you can still watch CW shows, that's amazing, high pain tolerance?

I've been wondering why the series has been lacking in displays of the FORCE... I feel like Clone Wars Era Obi & Ani would have had the most bass ass of fights but they barely used any FORCE powers either of them... I wonder if that is budgetary restrictions or if it has some larger implications. I seem to remember Yoda talking about issues accessing FORCE abilities at one point prior to the Emperor's assentation... but I don't quite recall the specifics.

Whatever the reason I too was disappointed however, overall, it's better than a lot of other live-action SW content... and I, for one, enjoy spending time in the universe. It's rather sad that my SW meter has to include levels of acceptable not so good shenanigans.

To be frank, it almost felt like the ultimate troll when Lucas sold the IP to Disney only for them to release, what they called, "Episodes VII, VIII & IX"... like he was showing us, it could've been sooooo much worse than what we got under his guidance. So, yeah sure, ideally Obi would make complete sense and all the performances would work for everyone... but at this point, really, I'm just glad it's not unwatchable FORCE dyad level shenanigans.

Sad, I know, but my take on things may just be the reality for a considerable amount of folks watching... but who knows?!

I think "god-awful" is a bit strong.  I've seen so much god-awful TV over the years that doesn't even compare to Obi-Wan Kenobi.

You're right, I did.  But even so, I think "god awful" is a bit strong for the movies too.  I've seen FAR worse.

I agree with mrverene, when you factor in budget to outcome, the last 3 Star Wars movies would have to rank as the worst movies ever produced.

Easy, I just don't like her acting(*). Nothing to do with her face (she is actually quite beautiful) or nationality (close enough to mine anyway)...

(*) and there is a long list of actors I just can't stand and hate their style even though they are usually perceived as great actors, e.g. Tom Hanks or John Travolta.... if they enter the screen I hit the off-switch.
