I think the best I can say about ROTS is that it's good Star Wars, but it's not a good movie. It's probably the best of the prequels, but there is so much of what made the prequels bad in ROTS. Janky dialog, way too much CG jumping and flipping around, etc. etc. The final sequence is what most people remember, but there's 2 hours of bloated CG mess before that.

As someone who's read spoilers for every episode, watching ROTS and possibly even ANH before this wouldn't be a bad idea.

Andor looks dope af guys
I’m thinking there’ll be flashbacks to young Andor during the end of the Clone Wars/birth of the Empire and then the bulk of the show will take place maybe like a year or two before Rogue One.
edit: Willow lol

Ok, when in the time line is andor? I'm not really a star wars guy but I watch everything I think it's going to jump around the whole nineteen years between III and IV. We'll see what caused Cassian to be in the fight since he was six years old (line from Rogue One), parts are supposed to be around when he's twen'ty years old and then we see the events leading up to Rogue One as well. I'm personally maybe a little more excited about the Mon Mothma storyline myself since she's a big part of the show. Seeing the transition from Republic to Empire on Coruscant will be cool.

i was not feeling the first two episodes but im also highly critical of star wars after the sequels the scene with leia being chased in the woods and the other with the inquisitor jumping and doing flips on the rooftop was pretty cheesy. all the scenes with reva the inquisitor sucked. the first episode was extremely slow. the second episode was like something out of the 90s like the first kid movie with sinbad. idk hopefully the show changes directions.

Ben, Owen, Leia, Bail and the Grand Inquisitor can all act. It makes the actors who can't- the fake jedi, reva, flea etc really obvious. The show has an issue with tone and can't quite find it's lane. I think it would benefit with less dialogue- why is everyone ALWAYS talking? Why is Reva yelling at Ben when he clearly cannot hear her? If Ben hasn't used the force in 10 years, how is he keeping the sand out of his eyes while riding on that eopie?

Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed Reva's acting. Delivery was just noticeably not on the same level as pretty much everybody else's. Wasn't in love with the first two episodes. However, I will say that Ewan and the girl playing Leia are doing fantastic jobs.

glad im not the only one who wasnt into the first 2 episodes. everything JDS said makes sense im hoping these two episodes were just set up to get obi wan back into the swing of things. Hopefully anakin plays a more prominent role, considering hes in all the promo stuff theyve been doing.

I've seen the show described as a movie split up into six parts. We're definitely still in the rising action phase with the teasing of a lightsaber fight and things like that.

It feels very negative to say, but ALL of the acting in the shows has been awful with the exception of Pascal. It feels like network TV. Even in the Mandalorian, the UFC lady, Amy Sedaris, Horatio Sam's, Bill Burr, etc. etc. felt cartoonish. I think I've just gotten use to it by now. I could tell from the trailers that Reva would be terrible, and I didn't really care. Star Wars is just a different thing than it was, and that's fine.

I enjoyed the first two episodes. One thing I dont get is how did Obiwan plan on training Luke if buried the lightsabers in the sand and stopped using the force?

I'm having deja vu. I think we all did the same exact thing when Book of Boba Fett came out.

Aside from the acting issues you mentioned in the post above, the directing, the unremarkable score, and the failure of the first episode to make me care about any of the characters or plot, I just don’t care to know exactly what Obi-Wan was up to all those years on Tatooine. It relies heavily on our knowledge of events in past movies, and our existing investment in the characters and story, and fails to convince and stand on its own. And I’m tired of entire films and series’ based on single lines or ideas from the original trilogy. For fuck’s sake, give us something new. Lol at trying to justify TLJ Luke by having Obi-Wan say the same shit to Bail. I will never believe that the Jedi would just throw up their hands and be like, “welp, we lost, let’s go home.” Disney has failed to produce a single product that doesn’t feel simultaneously rushed, and carefully focus-grouped, because that’s the market we’re in. Ultimately, I won’t be happy with anything they do because it’s mass-produced garbage desighned for maximum shareholder ROI. There are ways to have it both ways, but Disney doesn’t seem interested. I’m glad you like it, but I’m still pretty bitter about the missed opportunity of the Disney trilogy, and the fact that they ripped away and spit on the EU that I grew up with.

I’m for sure digging this more than Boba Fett, but I don’t disagree with anything posted directly above. My love for Star Wars has significantly subsided ever since TFA hit theaters and it bums me out. I’ve loved Rogue One and Rebels, liked Mandalorian and either tolerated or loathed everything else. Fuck Disney and fuck what they’ve done to the cinema experience overall and how we enjoy storytelling.
You know what I’ve enjoyed more than Kenobi so far? Stranger Things 4. It rocks

This Celebration has been fucking bleak. No news on any movies at all despite the fact that we know of at least three that are supposedly being worked on.
Fallen Order sequel trailer looked pretty cool. Pretty tough to decipher what exactly is going on in it though. Apparently it takes place five years after the first one.

the celebration has been all merchandise My thoughts exactly. Might be a silly thing to complain about because this is Star Wars of all things, but they're trying to sell you something every time I've turned on the stream.
