It's also because Disney Execs panicked when the show was initially too dark in pre-production so they hired Joby Harold (writer of Army of the Dead) to do re-writes. “We’re looking, ultimately, to make a hopeful, uplifting story,” said Kennedy. So the fact that they didn't trust the original vision of the creative team makes me very upset and I'm not surprised with what we ended up getting. And it's also not a coincidence that I made a Devoid of Logic video on Army of the Dead too lol.

I think the issues are more glaring with returning characters. Mando suffers from a lot of the same issues on a writing level as the rest of Disney Star Wars, but the freshness of the concept & the show's relatively unique style distracts from them. Mando has the best optics, which gave hope at a glance that things might be improving, but further scrutiny reveals the same litany of issues standard in Disney Star Wars (minus the more obvious, offensive issues of the ST). With Kenobi & Boba, though, they couldn't even give the illusion of quality. The production values were beyond cheap & both shows seemed phonic of their titular character.

One thing that really confused me is how Reva managed to figure out that the chopped-up message is talking about Owen and his son. That one farmer she threatened to kill that one time. The message literally only said "the boy" and "Tatooine" and then she immediately knew who it was talking about. I think there is more than just one ten-year-old boy on Tatooine. And also: Why did she want to kill Luke in the first place? I may have missed something there but it felt really out of nowhere tbh. Then there is also the absolute travesty that is Tala and her shenanigans during the infiltration of the Inquisitor fort. While she is talking to Obi-Wan and giving him directions there are about 5 other people are sitting right next to her (and one of them even looks at her with a confused look as a gag but doesn't actually do anything about it) Then she later knocks a guy out ten feet from the other officers and they still don't react to it. Edit: Ok I double-checked and the message actually did directly mention Owen. My bad there. The show still suffers severely in various other aspects though.

The problem with disney is that they think they can just make things up as they go along. There is no established universe lore or consistency. The writers just think the force makes you have abilities "that some consider to be unnnatural" and nobody would question it because everything is just the force. One show/movie will have you thinking that something is special only for another character to use it sparingly and nonchalantly. It's like the Rey healing power when they meet that serpent underground when she finds the dagger. Imagine seeing that and then looking back at the prequels seeing Jedi masters with more experience being a Jedi than her not even having it or talking about it. For something like that to be introduced I would expect someone with great power and knowledge to be able to use it and then could teach it. Everything is inherited now. People give the example of Luke but he at least didn't win his battles, which showed his inexperience.

Not getting Dave Filoni involved with the writing and direction of the show was the dumbest thing ever, it's the equivalent of giving Mando to a bunch of terrible newbie writers that knows jackshit about the character rather than the same writing team from The Mandalorian.

Filoni isn't the great saviour you think he is. CW has many similar flaws, only because it actually had some good characters and stories here and there do you Filoni fans over look his faults. You guys call him the "heir" to Lucas... well much like Lucas he needs a lot of people around him that keep him grounded. It's why the OT is beloved and the PT is loved subjectively but most agree that objectively, it has major problems, because Lucas only had yes men while creating them.

It would have made so much sense for obi wan to fake his death and hide at the end of the series, but nope. As of now, Vader simply believes that obi wan might have died of old age in 5 years. 2) How did Reva go from "bail organa, owen lars, and obi wan kenobi are connected and owen lars has a kid on tattooine" to "anakin skywalker had a kid and owen lars is hiding him!" 3) How is leia able to outrun so many people? 4) How did the empire not reinforce fortress inquisitorius or learn from their mistakes from Jedi Fallen Order. 5) obi wan said "when you were born we hid you from your father to save you from the emperor" in return of the jedi, which implies that he knew anakin/vader was alive when luke and leia were born 6) if obi wan truly believed anakin was dead and gone, why didnt he kill vader? Why is this dude thoroughly incapable of finishing fights?

To point 2, there's another plot hole there. Bail in his transmission says "if he's found you, if he's learned of the children" when Bail shouldn't know who Vader is yet, or that Anakin is alive, just like Obi Wan at the beginning of the show. Seeing as we haven't seen him and Obi Wan communicate at any other point in the show, he probably wouldn't even know that the Empire was involved in kidnapping his daughter yet. And obviously that leads to the massive plot hole of the Organa's being implicated as traitors to the Empire. Which ruins the ANH confrontation between Vader and Leia, which now should've gone like this: "Hey, your family is friends with Obi Wan. I know this because of that one time when one of my inquisitors kidnapped you, and I almost killed you when I force pulled a transport ship I thought you were in with Obi Wan and ripped a hole in the side of it. Which is probably what I should've done a few minutes ago in Rogue One, but Disney hadn't given me that ability yet."

@@byghostlight0 Your entire counter is to say that we don't like it because we don't like it 🤣... who's grasping at straws again?? You have watched ESB right? Obi-Wan refers only to Luke as "their last hope" and again in ROTJ when Luke points out there's another. He doesn't even visit her as a ghost. While the ST went over the top with it, she's still force sensitive in the OT, he could've popped in to say hi, providing advice and encouragement. The very fact it's Obi-Wan and only him who comes to rescue Leia, breaks the canon. The Empire know he came to help her and since Bail told no one else as he kept it quiet, then only he could've told Obi-Wan. Therefore, Bail has incriminated himself and would be arrested for treason. They'd torture him for info and learn about Obi-Wan, Yoda, Leia and Luke. Because of this, the OT shouldn't happen, otherwise the Empire, including the Emperor, Vader, the inquisitors and other officers are all idiots. Which destroys the stakes of the story because now as an audience member, rather than hoping the heroes will win, we know they will, because how could they when facing such incompetence.

I thought you were gonna talk about Obi Wan sparing Vader. That seemed pretty devoid of logic. Specially since he ACCEPTS the fact that his friend is gone, and only a Sith remains. Ok so then, are you gonna leave him be? Not even try to capture or subdue him at least? In a previous scene he even says: "either he dies or I die", so he had the intention to KILL him even when he thought he was still Anakin. Obi Wan is now responsible for thousands of additional deaths. Of course I know that none of that could have happened due to continuity with Episode IV. But of all the excuses they could have thought to prevent Obi Wan from killing Vader (Inquisitors arriving to help, Kenobi sensing Luke was in danger, Vader actually winning) they went with the worse one, sparing him just because. And the "goodbye, Darth" was cringe and a lame way to connect it with the nonsense of calling him Darth in the older movies.

Kind of agree, the fight was pretty good and emotional for the most part, I actually think the "Goodbye Darth" was good and explain why Kenobi says "You cant win DARTH" in episode 4 after calling him Vader previously to Luke. BUT I do agree that they set up this to be Obi Wan on a mission to finish business and when he makes his mind up that Anakin was dead, he should be able to kill him off but still doesnt. My head canon is because he actually could not kill him off because I think deep down (subcounsciouly maybe) he could not separate Anakin from Vader, and he could never literally kill someone that was like a little brother to him. Now thats the best explaining I could come up with, but I do agree that the other scenarios you pointed out woud be better options as story telling. And Obi Wan always was the most responsable man from all the tragedy that happened with not only Anakin but also the fall of the Republic, the purge of the Jedi and the rise of the Empire, there was nothing new in regards to that, I actually wanted this series to dig deeper in this psychological aspect and how he dealed with that, we kind of had a little bit but I thought this should have been the focus of the series.

This one I can accept. It is at least somewhat consistent with the prequel trilogy when Obi Wan didn't finish off Anakin on Mustafar to ensure he was dead, and you can chalk it up to "it's not the jedi way". Him calling him Darth helps explain the lack of foresight in the Episode IV writing by using Darth like a first name, along with the line "my friend is truly dead." Contrast that with Vader just standing there as Obi Wan is carried off by a slow moving droid in Part III, which was utterly stupid.

The main issue I have with Reva is that her whole motivation to kill Darth Vader was because he killed younglings. Yet she is willing to torture a young girl in pursuit of her goal. That makes zero sense to me.

Isn't it strange how the third sisters name is Reva is like a letter off from her name being Revan?

The regal ancestor spirit ost fits your videos so well

A Dark side force user surviving a mortal wound is actually pretty common as well. Anakin survived having his limbs cut off and being burned near death, Darth Maul survived being bisected, and Darth Sion literally wouldn’t die because he survived on rage and hate through the dark side.

In a New Hope Tarkin had bugged the falcon to follow Vader's plan. The troopers pursuing Luke, Han and Leah would have been instructed not to hit them as immediately followed by the comment upon their escape "I'm taking an awefuly big risk". The scene in the fortress could have been used as a call back to this.. instead of it not deciding what it wanted to do and highlighting again, the poor writing.

Damn, good vid dude

Ive really enjoyed some Parts of the Series, but your absolutley right with your Points.

Another thing: Canon material has made it explicitly clear that Darth Vader is both the best saber duelist and most powerful force user in the galaxy. Force Awakens guide says Kylo Ren has the blood of the "most powerful Jedi and Sith", Jedi Fallen Order calls Vader "The most powerful Sith in the galaxy", Palpatine calls Vader's powers "unparalled" in the Tarkin novel, the Star Wars Everything You Need To Know book says Vader is the best red saber duelist, etc. We also see Vader walk through lava and fight with his suit deactivated in the comics. But not only does Vader refuse to walk through fire, but Vader loses to Obi-Wan, and the Emperor says his feelings for his master left him weakened (AKA the age old excuse for Vader losing to opponents less powerful to him). But Vader has shown nothing but hatred for him and hatred is supposed to fuel the dark side. What's up with that?

I sense Darth Vader’s presence. I sense Darth Vader is on the toilet 😐 I sense he did not wash his hands 😡

0:45 I like to think that Vader didn’t knew who Reva was; He just assumed considering her age (although she should be 21 at the most)and desire for revenge. Like this is the 7th time he off a youngling out for revenge

Love how you used the elden ring Boss music in this! Great song

12:43 The only explanation I can think of for this is that she is a skywalker, and is thus very naturally talented with electronics like how anakin was at around the same age in TPM. However, that is still just bs since we havent seen her be proficient with technology anywhere else to back this up

I wasn't expecting it to play out like that. I thought Obi Wan would've had a few tricks up his sleeve to deal with Vader's brute strength (after all, he chose the planet and had time to prepare) and after being relentlessly attacked and beaten down, he'd be able to compromise his suit or momentarily stun him. Queue a bit of dialogue where Obi Wan tells him he's "still the learner" when he suddenly senses Luke is in danger. Obi Wan flees and Vader becomes enraged and pursues him only to discover that Obi Wan has sabotaged the engine on his ship (maybe have Obi Wan stall at the start of the fight by talking and have him suspiciously walk by Vader's ship during the exchange). At the end we'd realise Obi Wan never wanted to fight to the death and always intended to to escape. It would've recalled their sparring match too, with Vader being obsessed with overpowering his opponent and Obi Wan seeing the bigger picture.

Vader teleporting to Obi-Wan is kinda in line with his character. He's surprisingly stealthy, as we see in Episode 5

The only reason the stormtroopers missed in a new hope is because they were told to let them go so they would lead them back to the rebel base, so not plot armor.

Why doesn't Vader kill Leia immediately in ANH? Or use the force to stop the falcon? Or kill Kenobi much sooner than he does?

Obi Wan Kenobi show is the definition of nothing burger. The audience knows the events before and after the show so we know nothing significant can be done. We also know that this will also make intelligent characters heavily dumb to fit the story.

Well I liked your video, and I stuck around. You make some very good points, which I had also noticed. I think the trenchcoat escape was the worst. Apart from the fact that there were loads of guards and officers around, those guards and officers were just milling around casually when alarms were blaring away. They didn't seem to react to the urgency of the situation. The whole scene was ridiculous.

the trench coat scene is not even written for children, children would ask their parents why they cant see them or laugh, the writers just didn't have any ideia how to take them out of there and chose to go with the stupid one.

Seeing an assasin sith scene where they're trying to kill Vader disarmed in the tank sounds menacingly great.

Totally agree with pretty much every point here. I enjoyed the show but it's extremely flawed and not up to the standard Star Wars as a franchise deserves. With that said, three things I'd like to defend would be 1. at 9:10 , just because her mind couldn't be read doesn't necessarily mean she MUST be force sensitive. The internal logic behind mind reading is that it only works on weak minds (like Stormtroopers) so it's fair to not immediately assume she's force sensitive based on this. Watto resisted Qui-Gonns mind tricks in Episode 1, and Cad Bane required three to break him in The Clone Wars 2. at 4:10 , I don't think she was actually stabbed in the same spot as a Youngling. I interpreted it as her seeing herself as that helpless child again facing the wrath of Vader. I feel like they made it from her POV for this reason, but I very well could be wrong. 3. at 5:29 , it's said in Episode 1 that a Jedi has an insatiable desire to help, and their great flaw is that they can't ignore an innocent person in need (or something like that). Vader terrorizing the village was Vader trying to lure Kenobi out using the same tactic, and it seemed to work. If Kenobi was so confident that Leia would get to safety/back to Alderaan through the tunnel, I find it pretty believable that he'd wait behind knowing what's happening because of him.
