What about the part when the mercenaries went to kidnapp Leia? She was literally sorrounded, but apparently they said, 'Nah nah, give her some advantage she's a little kid. Let her run first while we watch her run away and react 5 secods later.' The little girl couldn't even run but somehow she kept three grown-up professional mercenaries from capturing her, until they come full circle with Leia in the middle, sorrounded again, but this time they say, 'Okay, enough fucking around, let's put her in a bag and gtfo of here!' Hilarious, but sad at the same time. That and making Obi Wan a bitch, as useless as a storm trooper!

You gotta love how Vader is upset at Space Moses for letting Kenobi escape when he was in the perfect position to capture him at the end of the last episode, but chose not to because he was on the other side of a slightly large fire. That confirms that he didn't let Kenobi go on purpose for any of the potential reasons fans had speculated about (he wants to prolong his suffering, he's enjoying the thrill of the hunt, he's disappointed by Kenobi's weakness and wants to defeat him when he's stronger, he wants Kenobi to lead him back to his allies, etc.), and instead did so because of plot-induced stupidity.

One of my favorite shows has representation and is comprised of mostly strong female characters, it's great that they can have those themes if they can do it well and in a way that doesn't disrespect anyone, but those aren't the main reasons I like a show. If a show has those themes as the main point of the show then that's fine by me, as long as it's entertaining and respectful that's all I need. Sadly a lot of entertainment just has these themes but forgot the entertainment and respect part, people can attack your character when you don't like something, they should accept that some people can simply find subjective entertainment to be boring and themes don't automatically make something good, themes can actually be done wrong and be harmful to an extent.

If I'm being EXTREMELY generous to the writers and doing their job for them... maaaaaybe the Stormtroopers actually got crushed by water pressure instead of drowning? Depending on how deep the base's tunnel was, it could be plausible. The many problems with that theory are: Obi-wan seemed to swim to around that depth no problem, I have no idea if water pressure would actually work to kill Stormtroopers in their armor (and neither do the writers), the show doesn't really convey drowning to the viewer, it makes the viewer put in work that the writer should have done to fix what is clearly a broken scene, and I think we all know the writers didn't actually think even one nanometer that far into any problems the scene causes. They just wrote it, heads empty, and moved on. It's just a terrible scene, plain and simple.

Didn’t even notice the immense implications of the Empire knowing Leia and her dad are in cahoots with rebels. Especially that Bail Organa knows where Obi Wan is/was able to contact him, that should immediately be a red flag and enough for the empire to arrest him.

Reva as a character has regressed to the point where in the first episode she was tired of chasing scraps and her sole objective seemed to be Obi-Wan. Now in episode 4 she had Leia again and knew Obi-Wan could come for her again but all she wanted was to know was how to capture these 'scraps' and let Obi-Wan escape for that purpose? Stupid! And in any case these writers don't seem to live the world they're writing. In that interrogation scene of Leia, when Reva told her that Obi-Wan was dead, Leia would've naturally asked "Who?".

The most tragic thing here is when the hype started to build for this ewan and hayden talked about how the prequels received so much negative criticism that they basically wanted nothing to do with it any more. They talked about how with time passing, fans ( particularly after the recent films) had began to embrace them and the hype of an obi wan story had people treating them with a lot more love and respect. Now this is happening and ewan and hayden (through no fault of their own) are again a part of something that is spawning hatred and resentment among fans of the franchise. Before this season had barely started being aired ewan was saying he was up for a season two. I recon after this he will just want to wash his hands of the whole thing... ...

In here, they are flagrantly collaborating with a Jedi. Yet Bail Organa hasn’t been removed from the Senate and/or arrested. It already makes no sense from the get go.

Something I have to bring up about the snowspeeders, is that when its blasterbolts hit anything, the ground/stormtroopers/anything around is exploding and throwing troopers around, so it is hitting with significant force. Inquisitor lady deflects them with ease, and they just hit the ground around her with no effect whatsoever. So she's so physically strong she can deflect that energy, or they kind of forgot about it.

Not only is the love of good storytelling gone, the love of creative camerawork, editing and music score is gone. There is no love of the art left at Disney. But the lulz a great.

Ah yes the box made of "explodium", full of "explodium" that is conveniently located right next to the tie-fighters that turn invisible and remove themselves from all memories of others. Great writing.

One major thing I'm surprised no one has spotted is that Elaria Sand tells the officer she has information for the Grand Inquisitor, even though he's dead or at least assumed dead at this point.

Star Wars is held very dear by many - most of us grew up with it. This production has shown to be the most half-assed and careless series thus far, I feel like the fandom is legit owed an apology. Its insultingly bad. Bottom of the barrel.

They owe EU fans the first apology, when they threw us out in 2014. But they will never do that.

I’ve just watched Episode 3 and I just started asking myself: WHY FOR CHRIST-SAKE didn’t we get a single one of these beautiful Tatooine sunsets, with obi wan in the foreground, as Yoda teaches him on how to reach out to Qui-Gon, with the theme of a new hope playing?? I swear, I’ve never even put out a YT video but I could’ve written AND directed a better show. Fr

The first episode of this analysis series I saw of yours was covering the third episode of the Kenobi series. You said word for word exactly what my mindset has been seeing this dumpster fire of a series unfold. Disney has been ushering in the new generation of “ fans “ who protect Disney’s every stupid decision and attack anyone who has valid criticism against this series and it’s characters. It’s sad to see the direction where star wars and everything else is heading under the Disney Regime in this era of political correctness. Sad.

If fans are unsatisfied, then Disney should step up, not have the directors, writers or actors fight back. The fans are indirectly but also directly part of the production of the shows, since they're the paying customers and who theyre appealing to, demographic. I dont know what's up with disney, but I dont think they realize the responsibilities that come with buying big franchises like Marvel or Star wars. It's like they dont respect them at all

Can we also talk about how UGLY these Disney SW shows have become? When you intercut the feature films with the footage from Obi-Wan, it just makes it even more obvious how grey and sickeningly muddy the photography and visual design is on the Obi-Wan series. The same thing was there on most episodes of Boba Fett (except for the one shot by the legendary Dean Cundey). The Mandolorian looked WAY better, so "it's TV" isn't a valid excuse. What are they doing? Why is this acceptable on a series with such a huge budget?

The problem Disney has with storwars is they think it's about the force when it's about the story. The OT has little going on in regards of the force and when they do it's heavily emphasize as unique and mystical. It's a reason Mando is so good. Disney otherwise has treated the force like a bicycle that you never forget how to ride and can do anything. It's not mystical anymore it's just a cheat code for ridiculous cinematography.

@hanburgundy4317

That's exactly the case - especially with the sequel trilogy. Disney thought the story was about Jedi and X Wings, but that was just the setting; it was about Han, Luke, and Leia. Just like Jurassic Park: it's not about dinosaurs, it's about Grant and Ellie and their relationship (which the latter movies retconned) and his arc from not wanting kids to wanting kids. *Vin Diesel voice* It's about family.

17:27 it’s from the animated shows for when the grand inquisitor would reanimate the Jedis to bait out specific Jedis because they were not aware of their deaths and thought they could save them. They seem to care about some cannon but not other well estabished cannon

You’re right, I retract. It would also be about 50x better.

The "your strong" thing is fcking hillarious. She literally doesnt even know anything about the damn path to tell besides the hallway they took lol.....

Speaking of undercover officer being noticed having disappeared after the her squad all died, probably would have noticed they were all shot in the back from the transport too..

The worst thing about the tracker isn’t even mentioned here: it makes absolutely no sense to put it there in the first place. They have a 10 year old imprisoned in the bloody fortress inquisitiory, which should be about the safest place in the universe. Last time Reva is in contact with Leia or her Droid there is zero hint at an infiltration (unlike the Death Star situation where they found an empty ship, Vader sensed „a presence“ and a shootout in the prison area), so why would she assume that 10 year old could escape? The only reason she could have for her „act of genius“ is the same she must have had to abduct Leia in the first place: having read the screenplay or used that video service from spaceballs.

I was liking the show until episode 4. I was like "not another fucking imperial infiltration episode" every Disney show has this gimmick. The whole Bad Batch show is entirely made of infiltration scenes.

Your videos make watching this series much more bearable.

How movies are written these days: Things just happen.

Brilliant review with excellent points. The T-47 air/snow speeder can be modified like combat aircraft today can be multi-role such as strike, interceptor, reconnaissance etc (remove the harpoon and tow cable and there is room for another modular addition like extra seating). It's main propulsion is "repulsorlift" - a type of "anti-gravity" hence no prominent glowing engines at the rear like an x-wing and many other space capable fighters (Speeders typically cannot fly in space). Air speeders are in the same category as other repulsorlift craft such as speeder bikes, Jabba's sail barge, swoops etc. The main difference is their top speed and service ceiling (max altitude). This allows repulsorlift craft to hover in place like a helicopter would in our world, making them excellent close air support. Remember this for Obi Wan Episode 5. I will say again you have done a superb review and I agree with your points despite these technical observations.

At least you used actual John Williams Star Wars music in your video. Wish I could say the same of the Kenobi series.

the only good thing to come from obi series is that, I've found loads of great KZread channels like this on my search for reviews. before I was like "I'm a taking crazy pills!". Great video mate, keep em coming l!

You're killing it with this videos. This show straight up sucks, what a disappointment.

I'm more surprised that there is not a blockade of Star Destroyers in the Orbit of Nur

Why would Reva/Space Moses expect that Leia would be taken to "The Path" and not home to her family on Alderaan? So why plant the tracker on her droid? And wouldn't she need to have placed the tracker before she knew there was a rescue attempt happening?

Holy shit! I totally didn't notice how the snow speeders were flying straight toward the wall. The whole snow speeder scene was bizarre. Wow wow wow wow....wow.

I appreciate the southpark clip usage as well as the GoT clips when discussing nitpicking and Tala

How did they make fortress inquisitorias look worse than in a video game useing a basic colour scheme to communicate it’s evilness.

Undeniably bad writing, but the director isn't helping. Elaria sitting in a room full of bad guys helping Obi-wan without even keeping her voice down. Plus the camera keeps pulling back to show us there are a bunch of people in ear-shot. Like, just make it a bigger room, or fewer bad guys or something. But no, the director keeps talking badly written scenes and making them worse! If only they had communicators that aren't handheld or at least had a volume knob built-in. But wait! They do! Because they were using one when Obi-wan was swimming in! Just obnoxiously lazy directing.

You don't have to be strong in the force to resist jedi mind tricks. One example of this is when Cad Bane is being interrogated in the Clone Wars TV show. It takes Kenobi, Wind, and Anikin to mess him up, (and I don't really remember here, but I think) Cad Bane was just in a lot of pain, and cracked under the torture.

I'm in the acceptance stage. This is Star Wars now. We have more bad Star Wars than good. I just keep my original, unaltered trilogy on my watching regimine to this day and its kept me happy. Its all I need. Disney and Twitter can have Star Wars, I dont need to anymore.

I still had some hopes for the show before this episode, I really did.

The writer of the show didn't see revenge of the sith so it's no surprise they don't understand the canon

"Obi-Wan Kenobi... I wonder if he means old Ben Kenobi?" Luke managed to put it together in a couple of seconds.

Someday I'd love to see a planet more than once. SW has a big problem with just creating planets at a whim and discarding them while simultaneously writing another story that takes place on Tatooine.

My theory is that he didn't actually cut himself off from the force, but is just having difficulty with it. Similarly to how Cal was having difficulty with it as a metaphor for his inability to open up emotionally. But Disney probably doesn't care about the deeper meaning of Cal's or Obi Wan's struggle, and did it for cheap stakes.

Star Wars is a corpse at this point. A lifeless shell of its former self.

27:45 hahaha i LOL'd so hard. that hat is more than ridiculous.

Or why build your underwater fortress with windows at all? If I had have known that it would be this easy to get a job at Disney I'd have dressed up as a woman, bought a wheelchair, so I could check off the right boxes, and say I was a writer.

As far as I know, baby Leia was 8 during recording, but she looks 7. I'll never buy that this character is 10, especially with the dialogue sounding like it's coming from a 30 year old. They can call her 10 all they want. You are how you look and sound, and neither of those is 10. Her writing is extremely jarring and ruins the character for me. And my god this is Saturday morning cartoon crap. R: "Kenobi is dead, and you're next unless you tell me where the rebels are, MWAHAHAH!" Definitely 10-year-old-girl: "I'll never tell you anything! Kenobi will come save me!" R: "We'll see about that! Take her the conveniently lightly guarded interrogation chamber! MWAHAHAH!"

What I don't unterstand since the first episode: Disney has so much money and the series uses low budget CGI all the time. In quiet every scene you can see the studio filming area in the foreground and the not fitting bad CGI or Green Wall in the background. In comparison for Mandalorian, whose used LED screen was a game changer

30:30 Also, how does Reva know they're not taking baby Leia straight back to Alderaan? (as they should, btw!) Then letting them escape in order to track them would have been pointless.

I mean if you kind of think about it, it’s pretty surprising that Bail organa was ever able to remain a senator in the first place. Vader/Anakin knows Bail organa well and probably knows he would ally himself with the Jedi.

fun fact: that obi wan scene where he killed the two troopers in the dark is just like starkiller’s kill on 4 troopers in the dark lmao
