    Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)

    I would love another season, but if we get one I hope it doesn't involve Vader or the twins. I wouldn't mind revisiting young Leia in a few years via a different show, but it felt like you could only squeeze one of these stories in with Obi-Wan between ROTS and ANH. Now that Obi-Wan's back to...

    Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)

    While not perfect, this was the first piece of Star Wars entertainment since The Last Jedi where I liked more than I disliked, and felt like it added more to the franchise than it subtracted. It also explains why In addition to , it was also the first time that And she was less far gone...

    Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)

    I didn't think either of them looked quite right during the flashbacks to their sparring sessions. But then again, I don't think any of the digital de-aging or recreations that we've gotten since Rogue One have been 100 percent effective. I figured given that they had access to both actors here...

    Finally found time to watch the first four episodes. I'm really enjoying it so far. I had that thought during her first episode, too, but her performance has grown on me over the four episodes. You can see the gears turning in her head, which isn't something I could say about Jake Lloyd's...

    Disney's also trying to steal some of Netflix's thunder, since "Stranger Things 4" premieres on the same date.

    Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)

    I've felt the way. It wasn't just that Rise of Skywalker was a misfire for me. It was a misfire with wide-ranging impacts on the larger canon and continuity, which killed my enthusiasm for the franchise as a whole. But, yes, there was a lot to like in that teaser. The prequel musical themes...

    This is interesting. It both gives us an idea of how old Luke will be in this series, and hints that the scope is going to be more expansive than just Tatooine. I wonder if Jimmy Smits will be back as Bail Organa?

    Hey, moisture farming is tough work and really piles on the miles. At some point, I hope my hometown will be known for more than just political corruption and sex cults, but alas, it's not looking good...

    Agreed. There's a version of this that works without Hayden Christensen, because you can put anybody inside Darth Vader's helmet. But Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru don't have armor to hide in. And, based on those photos, both Edgerton and Piesse look closer to Phil Brown and Shelagh Fraser, which...

    This. The prequel trilogy had serious problems in the execution, in terms of bad dialogue and bad acting, and even some characters' personal arcs that felt unsatisfying. But the worldbuilding was sound, the overarching narrative was sound. People shit on The Last Jedi for taking a dump on...

    I'm more interested in it for the time period, because a lot happened between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope and the show is well-positioned to tell it. That being said, I think I'm even more interested in the "Lando" series because Solo left off in an especially consequential time: Enfys...

    As long as James Earl Jones (or a decent impersonator thereof) is doing the voice, I don't care if Christensen is under the helmet.

    Yeah, I don't know enough about what's going on behind the scenes to point to one thing and say, "This is the problem!" But there clearly is a problem that needs to get rectified at Lucasfilm so it can have a smoother workflow.

    If that were the case, why aren't all of the other Disney shingles (Marvel, Pixar, Disney Animation, 20th Century, etc.) experiencing similar issues on nearly every project? The untimely death of Carrie Fisher was an unforeseeable bit of bad luck. Everything else is something that management...

    When will Disney address the neverending mismanagement at Lucasfilm?

    Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)

    That seems about perfect, timewise. Far enough after Revenge of the Sith for the Empire to have become largely entrenched, and for Luke to be a school age kid instead of a baby or a toddler. But far enough before A New Hope that they don't have to try and make Ewan McGregor look like Alec...

    I think of the whole Media section as being about purchased media, so the Streaming and Digital Media forum is about digital copies bundled with discs and digital purchases from Vudu, iTunes, Amazon, etc. On the other hand, I think of the subscription streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, Disney+...
