...but you're not SUPPOSED to like her...that's kind of the point, IMO
You need to be able to enjoy the villain though.

After a bumpy start I found myself warming to episode 2. Had a Blade Runner vibe to it - was good seeing something other than sand.
Anyone know the name of the cool looking bounty hunter - that looked like a dinosaur?

Great actor but it's possible he was unavailable. I know he was a regular in a recent TV show. He's also pushing 60, so voice aside maybe he wasn't the right fit for live action? Not that the character has had any action scenes yet.

We will. It's called Vader.
Maul survived being cut in half. You think this guy could not survive a mere slotting?
Reva is a tryhard, and - sorry - Leia is an unlikeable little b-word. At least so far. And there is no way a five-year-old child is outrunning adult males. I call total b.s. on that one.
That other sister is pretty cool. Lets see more of her.

there is something VERY!!!! Blade Runner about this whole thing.
Which isnt a bad thing, really. But definite B.R. vibes

Oh yeah, he has to be able to helicopter a lightsaber.
By the way, isn't Tom Cruise 60 now?
Could have been scheduling conflicts or he just didn't want to do it; some actors are weird about heavy prosphetics too.
Down on his luck Clone trooper
Well, I watched them both.
Predictably mediocre, disappointing even in truth. Plastic, cheap sets, dumbed down lines, filled with cringy nonsense to the brim. It's nice to see Ewan as Obi-Wan again, but that's more or less it. I don't even have any fun critiques to make, as it's all so painfully by-the-numbers that it's too banal to poke at. Leia is bratty but in an annoying fashion. Reva is as awful as expected, nothing more than a Donut Steel OC whose arc we already know. What's worse is that the woman has all the talent of a cement block and the character doesn't work the way she's written. Studios may have forgotten the point of visual arts, but I sure haven't. A villain of this type, written in this way, needs to be menacing, insidious and a clear threat from every standpoint. I'm sorry, but a pouty 5'5" woman throwing temper tantrums and having two modes of expression simply isn't intimidating. I won't even mention how nonsensical it is for her to have that kind of info on Vader. But hey, she is the special OC, so of course she has that extra bit.
I could go on, but really, what's the point? The Picture Book Of Beta Fatt was at least fun in its awfulness. This is merely trite and predictable. Everything is low budget and the only ones trying are the usuals, like McGregor and Egerton. We could've had a simple 2-hour film with some identity following Ben on Tattooine, with a proper budget and story, but nooooo, drop some nonsense on the subscription service and call it a day. If the opening where the single Jedi slowly slides on the sand and the Inquisitors simply stay still and wait to practise their stilted choreography isn't the pinnacle of filmmaking, I don't know what is...
Whatever, I'll keep watching for Ewan and Hayden. Also because I'm weak and can't cut off myself from things I no longer enjoy due to a completionist mindset that I cannot get rid of... Eh, it is what it is. Hopefully we'll get a cool Vader dolly with a burned up Hayden HS from this. It's all I can ask for.

Enjoying the episodes a lot more on the second watch
Plastic and cheap sets? Huh. Feels like you're trying pretty hard here.Well, I watched them both.

What that child needs is a good backhand.Kids
Im joking.
Sorta.
So very unlikeable. There's spunky, and then there's just outright rude.
Yep.
Yes, yes, the two blocks they've built and already used in Mandalorian, Beta Fatt and now this are very impressive. As are the single corridor and one stage of the cyberpunk planet. Nothing feels lived in, nothing immerses me. Everything's clearly a set, a soundstage, a backdrop. They're not "alive", they just surroundings. Maybe plastic was the wrong term, but if I'm going to tear the rest of it a new one, I might as well go all the way for consistency...
Wow there, you mean you don't want a Reva figure? Even after her sick parkour moves which made no sense? Or her incredibly badass character of being a whiny child? Damn, I guess you're just going to have to make due with a lackluster collection...

Probably. But I think he's more the exception than the rule when it comes to 60 year olds in action movies. And didn't he break his leg doing a stunt in the last MI movie? "Harrison Ford 2.0, now warming up in the bullpen".
Fixed.
