**Beware SPOILERS** Obi-Wan Kenobi Series on Disney+ **Beware SPOILERS**

Oh god, another Mickey Mouse gag like the Ducktroopers.

I swear to god, I hope the next generation of kids has some balls and does away with Disney like they did in the 70's-80's

U sure bout that. Cause during the 80s was the time of Disney’s renaissance era. Also those shows that would come on

It's really typical old school Disney.

1989. The last chance. Little Mermaid ushered in the new era, but Disney was never cool for over 90% of the 80's.

What about all those 80s Disney shows?

what shows? Captain Eo? Were you even a twinkle in your momma's eye at that time?

I expected to hate the show. But I didn’t. I don’t think it needed to happen (like boba) but their only cash cow is reusing old characters. Ewan is fantastic in it and yes, the parkour stuff was ridiculous. Reeva is going to rank right up there with snoke, holdo, the stuttering guy, and rose as the absolute worst Star Wars characters ever. She is not believable as a villain and she is a bad actress. Like rose, it has nothing to do with her race, she just overacts.
That said, parts I liked, many I didn’t like, but it has potential. Miles better than the boba show.
Let’s hope the third episode is great. I do wish the little girl character wasn’t in it.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

I thought the two episodes were solid starts. I already love to hate Reva.

Lol yes I was but what about chip n dale? . Goof troop?

 

[ironwez20]

Awww

Good to see the Star Wars fandom accepting Hayden and he seems happy to be back. Those people were absolutely nasty to him and some of the others. I don’t know if the ST cast will ever get accepted but many people should apologize to that girl Kelly Tran. The amount of hate she got was absolutely crazy.

Looking forward to Hot Toys reveal of Reva!!!! (Joke) but you know she’s coming. Best character is the fake Jedi guy so far aside from Owen and Ben

 

[Wor-Gar]

She's the one who says "little boy I'm gonna make you a man" but in the end turns out to be a man herself. Maybe it's a different Lola?

Lola spelled backwards is: a LOL

People forget, or never knew, Disney languished in the 70’s and most of the 80’s. After watching these Kenobi episodes I’m kinda hoping they start languishing again.

LOLA reminds me of the movie "batteries not included (1987)" from Spielberg that I watched like 30 times as a kid. Come on, don't tell me you weren't born lol.

 

[GhostBeard]

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.

You’ve crystallized my own thoughts eloquently. I have so many issues with these episodes, that I know, like BoBF,I’ll never force myself to sit through again (at least all the non-Mando episodes). I just walk away feeling so empty. I just don’t care.

 

[guyver1]

Why does this seem like a show , but then when we see Ewan..it feels like a movie

 

[guyver1]

So …..which Clone was that …who became a bum and why would he be a bum , if the Empire just started to develop during this time

Theres definitely some Shatner'ian-level scenery chewing going on. I dont think theres a doubt that she did some research going in; but instead of SW she just rewatched "The Wrath of Khan" a bunch of times.

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN!!!!!!

JEEZ, ramp it down a notch or ten.

I remember vividly at the time exiting the theater from ''batteries not included'' and turning to my friend and saying "the 80's are over". That movie was the nail in the coffin for those types of films that had been the diet of most of the 80's... from ET to Cocoon.

It was now the time of Predator, Lethal Weapon, Die Hard and soon Batman. Magical Spielbergian characters were dead.
